Christopher Nolan Interested In Making A Bond Film
Remarks made by directors in interviews as to their career aspirations and dream projects seldom warrant news coverage. However, when that director is one of great geek stature and the dream project is both epically awesome and seemingly entirely feasible, it's worth discussing. Such is the case with 'The Dark Knight Rises' Christopher Nolan and his desire to make a James Bond film. In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, the current Batman franchise helmer stated that he had gone so far as to meet with the franchise's producers about the prospect of his taking on 007. He of course stressed that "it would have to be the right situation and the right time in their cycle of things." Sam Mendes' crack at MI-6's most dangerous agent, 'Skyfall,' is due in theaters this November.
It would be one thing if Nolan was simply stating his fondness for the franchise and his theoretical interest in making a Bond movie, but the fact that he's actually met with producers about it should indicate that he could very well be in the mix to get behind the camera on a future entry. What would be interesting about this scenario is how it would gel with Nolan's affinity for rebooting characters. The James Bond franchise just got its own restart with 2006's 'Casino Royale;' a new Bond in Daniel Craig as well as a revamped origin story. If Nolan was to come on board as early as the next Bond movie, I feel it would be frustrating for the audience to have the entire franchise rebooted a second time. However, his comment about "their cycle of things" could suggest that he would instead adhere to the new timeline. In any event, I'm excited at the mere prospect of his helming a Bond movie. Nolan has proven that he can eloquently balance densely-layered characters and compelling storytelling with jaw-dropping action sequences, so his appropriateness as a Bond director is not simply a product of Batgeek adoration. That's my two cents, but what do you guys think?
Could you see Nolan directing Bond? Would you be on board for that? What would that film look like?

Casino Royale was awesome, Quantum of Solace was not. It was too flashy, not enough on the line, and very confusing. Royale was gritty, clear, bloody and personal. I'm expecting Skyrim to be another Quantum of Solace, so after that flops, what the 007 franchise (and Daniel Craig) needs is someone to bring something new while bringing back the magic that made C Royale a hit. I think Christopher Nolan could be just the man to make this happen. If he takes this on, I've got the happy fuzzy feeling that he will make all these things happen, and give me exactly what I want. A grittier but more human 007, a realistic MI-6, a good villain, and stakes that I actually give a shit about (not a bullshit plot that winds and turns so god damn much). Nolan could be just what this franchise needs, if he gets the right storyline to begin with. = my two cents!

I like Daniel Craig as 007 but I also feel its time for a new Bond after Skyfall comes out. There does not need to be a reboot, just an actor change, thats it.

I've never liked James Bond movies, but I think Nolan has brought in a lot of those elements into his movies with great success. Lucius and Bruce's times talking about new gadgets are great Bondish moments. On the Tv commercial it looks like we get more of that in the new one.
It would be a smooth transition, but he would have to bring in a twist to compete with the movies he's already made like Batman and Inception to keep it interesting. Maybe I don't know Bond well enough, but I never thought the movies had much drama I can sink my teeth into.

I think what he meant by Cycling of things is that he would be willing to wait 10 years to reboot the franchise again....but how about doing a Justice League movie Nolan?

Director Nolan would be a good .... a great choice... he might bring Han Zimmer along and give us that long awaited Bond score that's been lacking since John Barry.

I had a feeling that it was a matter of time due to Nolan mentioning his interest in the franchise a while ago, but also some influence of the Bond/Spy thriller genre in some of his movies such as Inception (characters in suits, espionage, international heist team), The Dark Knight (Batman getting Lau in Hong Kong, the Batman gadgets), The Dark Knight Rises (Bane and his mercenary army, the prologue has Bond influence written all over it). YUP, IM ON BOARD!
