Re: Bond News Of The Day Thread

One possibility, albeit a way down the line, is a Bond movie. The director, as most Brits who grew up watching the Ian Fleming franchise on rainy bank holidays such as this one are, is a long-time fan of the series, mentioning Bond as a key influence on both "Batman Begins" and "Inception" (principally the snowy final action sequence in the film, which owes a lot to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"), and a couple of years back, expressed an interest in directing an entry in the series at some point.

In the Empire interview, Nolan reiterates that he's serious about the prospect, and even says he's met with the franchise's producers at some point in the past, but cautions that "It would have to be the right situation and the right time in their cycle of things." To us, that would seem to suggest that Nolan would only like to take up the reins if he got to make a fresh start, including casting a new Bond, so as long as Daniel Craig is wearing the tux, we wouldn't hold up hope for a Nolan Bond. But maybe the next time they decide to shake things up...

I'd love Nolan to do a Bond movie.
The spin is all wrong though. It doesn't state at all that Nolan doesn't want to do a Bond movie with Craig in it.

Why was it even spun like that?? Sloppy journalism strikes once again..... :roll:

I think is he did do it he'd want a free hand, his own bond and his cast of characters, so in that way its correct and it may be what me meant. He didn't say fire Craig, but I don't think he'd want to be making Craig movies when he has his own idea of what Bond should be.

Apparently Craig can come in tell them which director to hire which actors and what kind of story they are doing, that would be no go with Nolan.

Wanting a free hand can mean so many things, but not necessarily a new lead actor... just saying. :spy:

Nolan would understand what makes Bond tick .. get back to bigger than life, a handsome and talented actor, playing a hard but likeable super guy.
You move very well for a dead man, Mister Bond

Kill him!
Kill Bond! Now!!!

We read news like that all the times (for other movies) but in reality, we won't get what we want. We wanted a lot of other actors as Bond but what we get is they sign DC for another 2. Ugh!
