No, Martin Campbell won't be back for more James Bond. The filmmaker himself stated to press at the Chinese premiere for "Casino Royale" on Monday, January 29 that he would not likely be directing "Bond 22" amid the huge success of the 21st installment worldwide.

With Campbell's announcement, the director seat for the project therefore remains vacant after Roger Michell previously decided to quit the negotiations for the spot back in August 2006.
