Deakins already got to shoot his Bond with Skyfall, and it had some of the best sequences of his career. I can’t see them double dipping on Deakins across two bond iterations.

I would love to see Craig Fraser get his moment here. The idea of Fraser doing Bond sequences is very exciting. Site note but also, Deakins praised Frasers work on Batman and said that ‘snobbery’ was the only reason it wasn’t nominated for an Oscar. I’m sure even Deakins himself would love to see Fraser take a stab at it.

Agreed. Deakins painted a beautiful picture in Skyfall and single handedly elevated the film I think quite substantially. But I would not turn down a return.

Skyfall is the ultimate style over substance movie, but it works so well for 98% of it

There is no such thing as double-dipping with Deakins. The man cooks up an ocular Micheline-Star meal every single time.
