I've wondered about that before. When exactly does Bond become available for any one to start making alternative films? Aren't they making a TV show in Canada at the moment set in the 50s?
I agree that Mendes's two entries are very Nolan-esque but that's no reason not to get the real deal.
I personally prefer Nolan's earlier, tightly plotted thrillers to his more recent sprawling epics. A return to that earlier style would be welcome. Not keen on him just doing Bond as Batman - needs a different Approach. But I think he is capable.
Anyway, I doubt Nolan will be announced as the next director. If he is expect the next Bond film to hit theatres in 2020 at the latest and 2019 at the earliest.
I'd take Zimmer over Newman any day.
He has grappled with stories far more complex than SF & SP and made them quite compelling to me and many others. Zimmer is an excellent composer as well, who captures the mood in the films he composes perfectly.
They both may have gotten a bit excessive over the past few films (success will do that to you) but as I've said before, I think Nolan has far too much respect for Bond to go on too much of a tangent. Assuming that he wouldn't is selling him short imho.
After what we got with SP, Nolan would be a near godsend for me.
The thing I've noticed with Nolan is his longer films are on account of the complexity of the narrative he is telling. I don't have a problem with it in that case, although about 2hrs or so would be ideal probably.
I realize some think he can't direct action. I disagree. He is no Mann, but he is surely far better than Mendes. The truck sequence alone in TDK blows everything in the last two Bond films out of the window for tension and realism imho.
This is certainly another issue that bringing Nolan on board could result in.
If EON is so keen on getting Nolan, maybe waiting a few films would be the better route. We've just gotten Nolan-lite the past couple of films. Let's get something fresh first before the series becomes to closely associated with that particular style.
I totally agree. Not every film Nolan makes is Batman. Nolan is a proven storyteller and is a fan of the series.
An assumption but I also believe Nolan would have a better grasp on the character of Bond both the literary and the cinematic incarnations than Mendes. I would see us getting more Inception than Batman Reborn.
As far as Zimmer, why not? Remember BB has actually met Zimmer I believe which fueled a lot of speculation on here. Namely how Zimmer would kill the sound of Bond and we would all be deaf.
Assuming of course Nolan is directing bond 25

It's the same old story over again. A few weeks ago it was Hiddleston.
I wasn't all too keen on Turner until I saw ATTWN. He has a certain cruel and dark streak in him that is very reminiscent of Dalton. There is a certain machiavellian charm to him in the show.
He was even photographed by an Aston Martin over the weekend
Naomie Harris unsure if she'll return for Bond 25

Some one wake up @mendes4lyfe. It's his moment to shine of course Untill next week when betting stops on Tom Hardy as 007 #7
There were talks about a canadian Bond movie but as far as I understand the people interested failed to find someone who produced it.
Bond will enter public domain in 2035 in Europe, whereas in the USA each book will enter public domain 95 years after its first publication date.
Regardless, I hope that the tabloids keep Turner's name in the press. The longer his name is bandied about by the tabloids, the less likely it is that he will be the next Bond.
Doesn't matter much though because EON has trademarked the name James Bond.
I'll be dead most likely by then anyway. In my 80s at least.
Back to B25. How much do we even have of B25? Script? Spec script? Napkin doodles? Or yuk Logan's outline?
Seems odd to make announcements without at least something written. Every other Bond announcement had a script or draft and was in full development or preproduction even.
