MUMBAI: Slumdog Millionare fame director Danny Boyle is tipped to direct the next 007 film after Skyfall director Sam Mendes refused to take the assignment.
 
It is said that producer Barbara Broccoli is said to have chatted with Boyle at a recent awards ceremony.
 
The Oscar winner previously won a lot of appreciation for his extra-ordinary performance at the London Olympics‘ opening ceremony, which featured 007 star Daniel Craig and the Queen double in a Bond sketch.
 
Here it may be remembered that veteran Bond producer Michael G Wilson had recently said that he certainly could be a Bond director.
