    James Bond Downunder claimed their sources told them a June announcement was imminent. Take it with a grain of salt as usual. Where has @Marketto007 been?

    I'm always around @Jake24 and @ClarkDevlin. But I haven't heard anything lately...

    What I took out is - he has knowledge of numbers and who might like to sleep with whom, but overall, he knows nothing. Nothing more then we do at this point. He is making assumptions, that may or may not come true.
    Actually what is done here for the last weeks.
    so - I wouldnt give it too much credit.

    So Nolan being rumored again... Shrugs the series could do worse

    Jake24 found the article I would change the title to reflect this Mark Hughes is actually quite reliable

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/markhughes/2016/06/10/how-james-bond-could-head-to-warner-bros-with-christopher-nolan-in-drivers-seat/#6e3a945a2557

    It's not even a rumour. The guy writes: "my own guess is that the secret agent film series will eventually head to Warner Bros. with filmmaker Christopher Nolan likely sitting in the director’s chair."

    Yes, it's his own personal analysis. He doesn't suggest he's done reporting (no reference, for example, to "people familiar with the studio's thinking" or whatever).

    He may be right, but the story is like an extended, more detailed version of a message board post where the writer freely admits it's a guess.

    Paul Haggis wants back in for Bond 25; backs Idris Elba as the next Bond
    http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/paul-haggis-james-bond-scientology-901274

    He should have directed Bond 22.

    There are some great interviews from Haggis here:
    http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/6397/paul-haggis-talks-casino-royale-and-quantum-of-solace#latest

    Instead of arguing for the next 10 pages if Bond can be black, lets focus on Haggis.

    For me he is the chief reason that CR was so good. I hope he comes back. Maybe with Campbell?

    Ok.

    First he wants Elba.

    Second he said this: 'but they’ve got really good writers'.

    Any guy who thinks Elba should be Bond and P&W are good writers I want nowhere near the series.

    Seriously. What a hack.

    I'm open to Warner & Nolan. I thought that was the conventional wisdom (well, Warner anyway)?

    Say whatever you want, a Nolan-led Bond film (better yet 2) would blow people's minds. It would take the franchise to the next level, solidify Craig as one of the greatest ever in the role, and make a billion+ at the BO. Anyone against this idea, regardless of how they feel about Nolan as a director, just flat out doesn't get it.

    I certainly wouldn't boycott a CN led film, he used to be one of my current favourite film makers but after TDKR and particularly Interstellar I've been left unimpressed.

    I'm thinking Dunkirk could be something very special and a possible all time best if everything lines up as it should be but I'm still cautious.

    If DC or a new Bond did sign on with Warner with a Nolan directed 2 picture deal, the dissenters would be drowned out by those truly licking their lips at the prospect.

    I'm a member of Nolan Films but stopped posting there a long time ago, the hierarchy there is at times quite unpleasant and some of them give CN a bad name. I thought I was a fan but the obsession makes you question even your rating of his films.

    Some say he's not a good storyteller but it can't be much worse than the Logan, P&W & Butterworth trainwreck we got with SPECTRE.

    I'm not saying we should accept substandard, maybe if someone collaborated with him on it and not his brother would be better. Though the possibilty like Mendes of him wanting to impose Zimmer on scoring duties would get a gnashing of teeth from some in here particularly.

    Unfortunately you are never going to please everyone that much is true.

    I visit from time to time, but have never joined.

    I think the similar things you mentioned happen on forums in general. Some fans - of anyone or anything - give the object of their fandom a bad name, and tend to be such that one can get embarrassed by being in the same company in a way, or uncomfortable about the actions or views of fanatics. Never question your own ratings etc. - opinions just differ, and the most obsessive folks are not "better fans" (even though they think so), nor are their opinions more valid somehow.

    I think Nolan will do the next one. I also believe they asked Nolan to do Spectre.

    It was reported sometime that Nolan had a chat with the producers. But, wasn't really considered. I don't think he was. For one, I don't think Nolan would continue someone's work. He'd only do it his own creation and wouldn't let anyone pick up after him.

    Very true. Who would want to be left with the shitty end of the stick left by Mendes and have to dig themselves out of the narrative hole left by SP?

  • re: Nolan and Bond 24 (not titled SPECTRE yet). Baz Bamigboye of the Daily Mail reported in 2013 that Nolan had been approached. This was before Mendes signed on.

    I recall Nolan himself saying they don't need me now, as it's in good hands, or something to that effect.

    They could just be gone with it, saying Spectre concluded the Craig chronicles and start a new arc. While I know Nolan would provide quite the fame and tonnes of high quality creativity into the saga, I think the series with him will go darker, which, knowing Eon, will be the template for many films to come... And I certainly don't want that.

    I don't see the series getting any darker than it was during Mendes' run. I think creativity and fun is exactly what the series could use a big dosage of.

    It wasn't so much a questioning of my opinions more that their's was fanatical and imposing that I thought yeah I really liked it but none of his films are anywhere near the very best films ever made with possibilty of one exception, Memento.

    I find it hugely inventive and original, I would put personally Prestige second but I can see problems some would have with that film but Memento is the only film by Nolan I would call a certifiable masterpiece.

    His blockbusters minus his last 2 films are very compently made big event pictures but while they are up there in that arena in the grand scheme of things they probably would scratch my top 40 with the possible exception of The Dark Knight.

    His fans though think his films are on another level and have some godlike status. I was a fan as early back as Memento and likes Insomnia and was excited that he was directing the new Batman film when it was announced.

    Although I think after BB it all changed and then intensified when the world went bat shit crazy over The Dark Knight, that was when the real fanatics arrived, those that think his films are untouchable.

    Hence why he can get away in some eyes with over long messy films like TDKR and pretentious ponderous and laboured efforts like Interstellar, even I who'd stood in his corner struggled to justify the hype.

    I mean I'm a Bond fan and have been since 1977 with varying degrees of excitment over that time but I'm never fooling myself that those films are anymore than they actually are.

    They are entertaining quality product to some degree, I like some very much but some leave me cold, Nolan's though seem to inhabit some hallowed ground when his blockbusters don't get anywhere near the bench mark like Raiders or Jaws and neither does Bond for that matter.

    For me I feel three things

    1. We won't get any big news apart from writers till the fall/ winter time
    2. I think Craig is waiting for a decent script before he makes up his mind he get it he is back he doesn't he is gone
    3. I feel the producers are meeting with writers to get an ideas I would expect an announcement on the writers sometime in the next two months
