Her line of credits is extensive and impressive, being able to bounce between different genres and target audiences. Her film "In A Better World" won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar and there are several other critically acclaimed films that she’s made. But what makes her uniquely qualified is her work on directing AMC's "The Night Manager." The mini-series was often likened to having the flavor of Bond and certainly puts out a calling card for her to be able to handle similar material on a larger scale. Plus, with a television background, she would be adept to the model of how Bond films have been made in the past, which would be a great benefit. She offers a fresh perspective while also understanding traditions. In a time where Bond has struggled to adapt to modern times, Bier would be a great proclamation that the series is trying to break new ground.
