No... do you know how much work goes into preproduction of a film?.. its a hard enough job working on one, but 2 at relatively the same?? - not to mention shooting them both close to around the same time as well??... thats an impossible feat.
give up on Nolan.. it's not happening.
I meant not two movies at the same time. If that means a longer wait, for example spring 2017 premiere? I don't mind....
Ok, thanks, but I'm still a bit suspicious of that source. Not having read it I can't comment on the contents, but how come none of that came out in the interviews - I've seen and read tons and have never come across a single mention by anyone involved (actors, producers, writers, etc.) - plus it still makes no sense whatsoever to me to do a script like that. ;)

WHAAAAT? A spring 2017 premiere? For Bond24? You wouldn't mind? I would mind a hell of a lot!
you would be perfectly fine waiting another 5 years for the next Bond film??
i dare say, you are in a very very small minority there.
I just hope they don't dont make the mistake of hiring just anyone to direct. We don't need another Lee Tamahori behind the camera!
It also proves that Mendes is not just in it for the money (as I am sure the offer was pretty generous and a lot more than what he might get for his theatre work)
I think what 'The Dark Knight Rises' did after 'The Dark Knight', is possible for Bond 24 too. James Bond is now a lonely, stellar, money-crushing franchise again, like in the good old sixties..
Well, listen mate ;-). First of all, 'Interstellar' seems on course to premiere in 2014. In the worst case scenario perhaps early 2015. Christopher Nolan is doing the script of this sci-fi movie as well. Secondly, Nolan hasn't been assigned officially yet. IMDB is not mentioning him and it could very well be that Nolan is only doing the screenplay and passes the director's chair to someone else.
So if you really want a firm answer from me? I'd stick to a late 2016 release of Bond 24. 2017 is indeed way too late, BUT a late release also builds up anticipation. Look what it did for CR and SF. I was only 'advocating' (you're using heavy word mate) a 2017 release, because it's impossible to shoot two movies at the same time.
Also, I think we Bond fans are becoming quite greedy and spoiled. Because really, can't we wait until 2016 and then being treated with one hell of a spy thriller in 2016? That's the reason I'm a Bond fan: Always put quality before quantity. For the sake of another 50 years of Bond.
Also just to throw another hat into the ring - though I'm not sure I would be immediately excited about it - How do you guys think Pierre Morel would work? I go back and forth on whether he would be a good fit or not.
the Pierre Morel of "Taken"... yes.
the Pierre Morel of "From Paris With Love"... no.
I wonder what Baz will have to say on the subject.
Pierre Morel of TAKEN....NON
Pierre Morel of FROM PARIS WITH LOVE NON
Pierre Morel NON MERCI!
From Taken of course. ;)
I think he has the chops from an action perspective, but there would be a little lost on the cinematic perspective. Like I said, I go back and forth.
I never said that a longer gap will automatically result in better/good quality. But I did say that I DO prefer quality over quantity and that I do think you can facilitate a better, healthy, more creative inspiring production environment if you take some time, if you are willing to take a longer break. That's what I said.
I think that's an interesting option indeed. Mendes for Bond 25 and now searching hard for another Oscar-heavy, world famous director for Bond 24 please :-).
Off course, but the chances are usually slimmer. Look to TND that followed GE. The terrible rushed casting choices of TWINE that followed TND. The scriptwriter's strike that had a huge impact on the production of QOS.
Off course you can try hard, but why risking building up certain time buffers in case things go wrong? That's not understandable for me? Moreover, I believe you are patient enough to be waiting for a 2015...or most ideally a 2016 release of Bond 24.
Agreed. I actually can't think of many examples where longer layovers work. I feel like the longer the layover the more time it allows people to get older, rusty, and distanced from the project. I do think that movies can be clustered too close together and be rushed, but 2-3 years is acceptable. However, I wouldn't mind a 4-5 year layover if they filmed multiple installments at the same time, ala LOTR (I know this is unlikely).
You missed the crucial part of my earlier post which was, having the right people in place. Feirestein imo isn't a terribly good writer and Spottiswoode is a subpar director. We all know about Wade and Purvis and Apted and his wife were just wrong and then to add to all of that, EoN for some reason felt the need to cash in on flavour of the month castings. I don't need to go into the abomination that is DAD. I like to think EoN have used the 90s era as a guide in, not what to do and since then have made smarter decisions. Like I said, it all comes down to having the right people in place, planning properly and learning from past mistakes. EoN appear to be doing that, they got rid of Purvis and Wade, they signed Logan on for the next 2 movies, Logan's already submitted a draft and we already have a core cast in Craig, Feinnes, Harris and Wishaw and with the mega success of SF, EoN want to be able to at least live up to the standard and quality of SF and it's not impossible to achieve this with 2 year gaps.
Nolan isn't really an Oscar heavy director yet though, is he?
despite winning one, neither is Mendes..
Fair point.
Nolan has not yet been nominated for an Academy Award.... so no, i would not classify him as an Oscar-Heavy director.
IMO, his directing i find very flat from an artistic standpoint... i enjoy his movies, and i like him as a director - but i think he's just a tad overrated when it comes to style.
