Why he should be considered: PT Anderson is quite simply, one of our modern masters, with many calling him the present day Stanley Kubrick. He has a firm, confident style that gives his films the feel of a classic 70s flick, perfect for Mr. James Bond. On top of that, Anderson seems to have a great amount of skill when working with actors, assisting Daniel Day-Lewis with his Oscar win for his role as Daniel Plainview. He also helped Tom Cruise and Joaquin Phoenix score Oscar nominations. Daniel Craig is already a formidable actor, but imagine what PT Anderson could bring out of him.
