On the set of "Skyfall", 2012. L to R: Daniel Craig, director Sam Mendes, Ben Whishaw. By 2012, the James Bond movie franchise was in danger of disappearing forever when the Bond producers invited Mendes to direct the 23rd installment. His emphasis on the characterization (introducing Whishaw as Q, Naomie Harris as Moneypenny, Ralph Fiennes as M's replacement, and a memorable villain played by Javier Bardem) would boost the production into new territory.
