That's the rumor at least!

Variety reports that American Beauty director Sam Mendes - who's married to Kate Winslet - is in talks to direct the latest Bond flick, despite the fact that MGM refused to confirm it...

The troubled studio put itself up for sale last November, hence the cause for various production delays. Mendes has already directed actor Daniel Craig in Road to Perdition.

I like this choice! Mendes is by no means an action-oriented director, but the franchise is in need of a new vision this time around. Can't wait!
