Now, the info below is kind of old, but will give you an idea about what was in the air about Martin Campbell returning..
According to Variety, Campbell, whose other directorial efforts include GoldenEye, The Mask of Zorro and one of my favorite guilty pleasures, No Escape, will not be taking the reigns of Bond 22 as his next project. Instead, he is in talks to direct the action-thriller Unstoppable for 20th Century Fox and producers Julie Yorn and Mimi Rogers. The film, said to be on the "fast track" at Fox, is scripted by Live Free or Die Hard vet Mark Bomback and tells the story of a train engineer and his conductor in a race against time to stop a runaway train filled with toxic chemicals before it derails and takes out a town. Ok, I guess that sounds better than another Bond film. Although, given that other directors have decided not to do Bond 22, including Roger Mitchell (which I told you about before), perhaps there's something negative about the project that's influencing their decisions? Maybe the script is really bad or the producers are exceptionally difficult to work with? Or perhaps Daniel Craig is secretly a jerk and doesn't take direction well? Or, for Campbell, maybe its just a case of "been there done that"?

Despite making quite a bit of noise to the contrary, Casino Royale director Martin Campbell has hinted a return to the James Bond franchise may be on the cards after all.
Speaking to USA Today to promote the DVD release of Daniel Craig’s first 007 film, Campbell said, “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.”
Having also directed GoldenEye in 1995, Martin Campbell was the first director to return to the franchise since John Glen’s five-film run in the 1980s. Casino Royale was widely praised as the best Bond film in years, garnering a haul of awards nominations.
Campbell also revealed a second DVD of Casino Royale will eventually appear. When quizzed about the lack of commentaries on the current Casino Royale DVD release, Campbell said, “Yes, we are doing a commentary. I think [the studio] tends to milk these things [with Bond films]. When I did GoldenEye, I did it with the producer [Michael G. Wilson]. We’ll probably do it with [the producers].”
He also revealed the next DVD release may include deleted scenes.

Now for some new rumors....
James Bond to wed in Quantum Of Solace?
British actress Gemma Arterton has hinted that James Bond may tie the knot in the forthcoming 007 movie.
The 22-year-old star told a US TV reporter that she and Daniel Craig had been shooting scenes in a honeymoon suite for the film, which is titled 'Quantum of Solace'.
The surprised journalist asked: "Honeymoon suite?", prompting Arterton to reply: "I think I've said too much."
