Bring Back 'Michael Apted'

Would Michael Apted make as good a job as he did first time round if he got Bond 23? It'd make sense to have a director whos already familiar with Bond. Many people complain about the action, but actually the film ran for about 150mins & Michael was dissapointed that so much was cut out for pacing. Also, if MGW & Babs get their asses into gear they might get Bond 23 out for Nov 2010 before Michael hits the big 70! BTW with the new DC Bonds it is unlikely that much will be cut out this time round.
