Martin Campbell leaves the door open to directing Bond 22

In an interview this week, to coincide with the release of Casino Royale on DVD in the USA, director Martin Campbell made sure he 'left his soap in the shower' for a possible return to helm Bond 22.

When Casino Royale was wrapping, Campbell was reluctant to state whether he would be returning to helm again, but gave more positive vibes at the Royal Premiere after-party. Some days later though, he confirmed he would not be interested.

But the lure of Daniel Craig's second outing as James Bond, due out on November 7th 2008, seems to have him excited again.

He told USA Today, "After GoldenEye, I was asked to do subsequent Bonds, but I declined because it felt as if I'd be repeating myself. But this one is based on a Bond that's more interesting. To be honest, I would just say I'd never say never."

Thanks to `Moore` for the alert.
