Lets agree to disagree regarding Campbell. :) IMO one of the best directors the series has had.
We're asking for the real deal, not the shoddy imitation Mendes delivered. Its the difference between Steven Spielberg and Uwe Boll.
I believe that Nolan has sufficient reverence for the series to want to do something really special.
It was a shame we didn't get a Spielberg Bond film and it would be a shame if we didn't get a Nolan one.
I agree that perhaps the dark Bond stuff has had its time but the last thing I want is a return to the tedium and sub par entries of the Brosnan era. If Nolan is the alternative then I will gladly take it.
Dynamite did that with a couple of entries and they proved to be the greatest titles among their Bond graphic novels.
Still don’t understand why some people believe Nolan would do a trilogy. Not happening.
No Bond film no matter how good could ever rival the brilliance of Jackson's LOTR trilogy.
I think people just assume he'd have some big multi film vision because of his Batman films but even that wasn't planned. He took it a film at a time and wasn't originally planning on doing another after The Dark Knight.
I'd love a Nolan Bond film though. People say we don't need it because of how much Mendes was inspired by Nolan's Batman, but I think the problem there is assuming that he'd approach Bond in the same way he did Batman. I'm not sure he would. He's shown a lot of variety and Dunkirk was a big departure from the big dense epics he'd spent the last few years doing. He's talented enough to not repeat himself.
You will explode?
1. Mendes won’t come back.
2. I would say that Nolan is a frontrunner fo 26. But I sure would love to see what Villeneuve could do. IMHO, Villeneuve is the better director right now.
3. Pemberton is probably at the head of the line to compose 26. But it would be cool if Boyle went with a rock musician with little film composing experience (like George Martin): Alex Turner. Or one who does: Johnny Greenwood.
That was before the detailed drama from the sony leaks fiasco; and ultimately the creative mess that was SP. Mendes' involvement with Bond is 100% done.
Though in all fairness, they are nothing alike, now are they. ;)
Could LOTR generate 25 feature films? Those three Hobbit flicks were a daunting task to sit through without dozing off.
wrong answer. the first one is fine, the other two are garbage. and the hobbit is even worse.
I don't understand how Jackson veered so far off piste with Tolkien. his first film was atmospheric and character and narrative driven. then it all just descended into CGI tedium and endless shots of children dressed as dwarfs running across the same mountain locations seemingly endlessly for hours on end.
Same. Give me Bond any day.
And yet our beloved spy franchise is far beyond of being guilty of doing what you say the LOTR trilogy did. There are a plethora of entries within the 24 films we have that are garbage (imo obviously) and is in a seriously worse and different league of basterdizing the source material compared to what Jackson ever did and I'm including the hobbit (as disappointing as they were) films in this particular regard too.
I wonder if Peter Jackson could do anything with Bond.
we have had plenty of new Zealander already
They're undoubtedly great films, it's just that I don't care for the genre.
