This was a short lived rumor, and as our instincts told us, it was best not to trust the Sun’s news story however plausible it seemed. Last week The Sun broke the news, amidst a flurry of Slumdog Millionaire attention, that Boyle was inline to take the helm of James Bond 23. In response, a spokesperson for Boyle recently announced to WENN:
‘While Danny says he always has and always will enjoy the Bond movies he has no plans to direct one. Danny is naturally flattered to be thought of!’
Before speaking directly with Entertainment Weekly:
‘I enjoy the Bond movies, always have and always will, but I have no plans to direct one. I don’t know who came up with the story, but please tell them I’m very flattered to be thought of!’
