Then that would not be a remake, but an adaptation from the same source. So would be MR.
This is what Nolan said two years ago about possibly directing a Bond film: "It would have to be the right situation and the right time in their cycle of things."
I think it is obvious that he would like to cast a Bond actor himself rather than work with someone who was chosen by someone else. What I think is likely is that Nolan will be the director of Bond 26, the first Bond movie with the new actor.
On a seperate note, is their anyone else out there hoping for some fresh Bond 24 news to wake up too tomorrow? ;)
I highly doubt Mendes will direct Bond 25, but who knows? Too far off and doesn't seem to fit his past stated intent. I think he likes variety.
Sam Mendes said 1.5 years ago "No 2nd Bond film!". A few months later, late 2013, he was signed up for Bond 24.
Things can easily change. And perseverance, prospect of enhanced creative freedom with good screenplay, and loads of money....can do the trick really. So again, facts and quotes from the past are by no means guarantee for future acts. EON Productions have been eyeing Nolan for a long time already. And Barbara and Nolan have had some lunches over it. Just look at the crew manifest for Bond 24.....Lee Smith, Hoyte van Hoytema....
Good screenplay? Nolan is a writer-director. There won't be any screenplay when Nolan signs up to direct a Bond film as it will be written by himself.
Anyway, I really hope that Nolan does a Bond film only after Craig leaves. I would want his Bond movie to be his vision as much as possible instead of a continuation of Craig's previous movies.
I'm happy with Nolan doing most of the writing - but I'd still feel better if others looked at it, worked on it a bit, too.
Russell Boyd DOP of Master And Commander and The Way Back wil be Cineamatopgraher in that case because his style is more closer to QOS with The Way Back (based on pictures) and light parts of Skyfall (Bond go Silva island) with Master and Commander. If he already going to be in Bond movie, Mark Strong also play in The Way Back. As said before about Hoyte van Hoytema i have doubts about his Skyfall/ TDK side, but there also pictures in QOS style. I think we already can be sjure there wil ask new cinematographer for next movie and Hoyte van Hoytema wil not return. Peter Weir wil be much closer to personal-shaken not stirred Bond/John Logan (Sam Mendes). I don't like Silva's joker part, but he whas more then that and with ''We Have People Everywhere'' in mind...
Regarding Nolan: Part of me is interested in seeing what Nolan would do with the character. He knows how to pull off style and can craft a perfectly enjoyable action flick with well-fleshed out characters and meaningful moments (Batman Begins is a favorite of mine). On the other hand, with The Dark Knight, Inception, and The Dark Knight Rises his style has grown so stoic that his characters, his plot developments, and his style have almost begun to self-parody (e.g. Michael Caine's overly emotional, overly involved, story-telling mentor characters). He also has trouble shooting action, which is kind of a big thing with Bond, and with Nolan onboard there's a 95% chance we would get a Hans Zimmer Bond score, which I'd rather not get.
Nolan would need a very tight leash—someone like Purvis and Wade to help Bondify the script, a second unit to shoot action, creative oversight—and like @Birdleson said, I don't see that happening. But Nolan clearly loves the franchise and has impeccable taste in cinema (Blade Runner and On Her Majesty's Secret Service are two of his favorite films—and mine ;) ), and he does have mass appeal and some level of artistic cred, so it wouldn't be all bad if he helmed a Bond film.
I really don't get that reasoning. Everything they are doing now is to reinvent not kill off. Maybe non fans may strongly advocate that....but no doubt it. The movie would bomb and no studio would in their right mind greenlight that.
The trouble is that in this age of reboots they could easily kill Bond off in an actor's last film and then start all over again without consequences. They could even end the very film in which Bond dies with "James Bond Will Return." And just why would they do this? To be daring, to different, to be artistic, or simply because the current trend in cinema is to make every franchise darker, grimmer, and with more gravitas. We certainly don't have to worry about this with Bond 24, and personally I think they'll opt to end Craig's tenure on a grand, optimistic note considering the way his films have been arcing, but the possibility exists.
Agreed...
She is English. In August and October this year she visit my country and Belgium. She have something with Robert Pattinson (Harry Potter 4)
On returning to London, he would start on a rewrite of the forthcoming James Bond movie.
It was early September, and Butterworth, who divides his time between London and a farm in Somerset, had spent the week in conference with Sam Mendes and Daniel Craig, tweaking story lines for the new Bond movie. (He hates corporate limos and had been conveyed every morning to Pinewood Studios, outside London, on the back of a motorbike.) This was Butterworth’s second Bond; he worked on “Skyfall,” too, making the kind of script changes that his twelve-year-old self, watching the movie at the St. Albans Odeon, would be pleased to see. “You know, like Bond doesn’t have scenes with other men. Bond shoots other men—he doesn’t sit around chatting to them. So you put a line through that.”

Hmmm, Jez Butterworth wrote the screenplay of the marvelous sci-fi movie "Edge Of Tomorrow". He also co-wrote "Fair Game" with Sean Penn and Naomi Watts.
Nice bit of research journalism @Germanlady :-). This could be a "ghost writer" for Bond 24 then? Many screenplay writers who contributed to the Bond films end up as uncredited, which is kinda unfair. Anthony Burgess' treatment of "TSWLM" was kind of ridiculous. But his idea of an entire underwater city -Atlantis- where nuclear submarines could be hidden -Liparus- was entirely his invention. Or what about Peter Morgan, whose idea of an ex-MI6-operative out on revenge for "M" (treatment had as working title "Once Upon A Spy") was copied completely in the final screenplay for "Skyfall".
