James Bond Directors

Behind the Camera Home | Producers | Directors | Sets, Locations, Lairs

The James Bond series has been fortunate to have a number of world-class directors at the helm throughout the production of 22 James Bond films to date. Here's where you'll find the background for each of the directors and descriptions of how they contributed to the Bond series and the mythos of James Bond. The first 16 Bond films were lead by only 5 directors, each helping to shape the character of Bond in different ways. With the coming of Goldeneye in 1995, the "musical chairs" has been the prefered model, with another 5 directors working on the next 6 films.

There were a total of 10 directors that helped the man framed as OO7 to make it to the big screen. Of those 10, each of has someone we personally favor. Which director do you think is the best at his job on the Bond Films?

Mine is definatly Martin Campbell. His knack on the two Bond films that he did (Goldeneye and Casino Royale). If you look at both films, not only did he introduce two of the best bonds, but his films have many distinct features.

Mainly, they are some of the most action pack films, and the woman he cast, well................

Second comes Terence Young. Dr. No, FRWL, Thunderball, need I say more?

Third - Guy Hamilton
Fourth - Peter Hunt
Fifth - Lewis Gilbert
Sixth - John Glen
Seventh - Roger Spottiswood
Eighth - Lee Tamahhori
Ninth - Michael Apted

Marc Forster - ? or ??

Who do you prefer?
