I know Hitchcock was never offered from EON, but before EON produced Bond films, Hitchcock was offered to direct Bond: Remember the Climax! version of Casino Royale, he was offered to direct that, and the 2nd time he was offered to direct what would've became Thunderball. This article has evidence of this:

So Hitchcock almost did James Bond a few years before Dr. No. I never said EOn offered Hitchcock to direct (although that would've been cool if they did that) I do agreed Cary Grant wouldn't have done Bond because he was too old, if Grant was born in 1930 instead of 1904, he could've fit perfectly for Bond. Hitchcock could've probably gotten Rod Taylor (who he work with on The Bird) to also portray as Bond if it went that way.
But back on topic
@mrnate8: I can accept Bale as Bond but I heard he didn't want to play as 007. Hardy, well he's my future candidate for Bond after Craig's tenure as Bond is over (Michael Fassbender is also one of my other contender). But Leonardo Dicaprio, what were you thinking when you type this? He's not even British or coming close to looking like 007. I can accept him as a Bond villain, maybe Felix leiter (although I want Aaron Eckhart as Leiter. No Joseph Gordon Levitt as Felix please!!!)
I wouldn't mind Han Zimmer doing the music for a future Bond theme. It's not like he's going to replace the iconic Bond theme with something else, he could make the Bond theme sound memorable, how many time have we heard Bond theme from other composer other then John Barry? I don't see how Zimmer's version would be any different.
LOL. I included that deliberately to gauge reactions.
And back on topic: Of course it would be great if Nolan would do a Bond movie. But he probably would want to get complete control over the movie (he and his wife Emma Thomas produce his won movies), the actors, the writers (his brother Jonatahan and he himself), etc.
I'm one of the few who liked Arnold and was saddened when I heard he wasn't doing Skyfall, but since I've heard alot of Newman's work. (Wall-E is my favorite Newman Score.)I was excited to see what he could bring to Bond. It's just sad he didn't score Skyfall at a good of level as Wall-E or UP.
I second this! :D
His Batman scores to me use the same themes over and over but his Sherlock Holmes scores are really good.
I think those are homages (if they're rip off, then why don't you go after From Russia with Love for ripping off North by Northwest when the helicopter running over Bond similar to the airplane trying to run over Cary Grant), did you know Inception had a snowtop mountain that made a nod to OHMSS.
Aso the Dark Knight rises was based on several Batman comic:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Man's_Land_(comics)
As I stand, I would love and support Chris Nolan if he direct the next Bond film.
That's how I feel. I think Nolan's Bond would just be entirely different and would try to reinvent and spice things up, and he would want to make it a grand vision story like the Batman trilogy of his.
I don't think he'll do that since Bond already got rebooted. I think he'll do Bond the same way like other he'll probably follow Sam Mendes style of directing mix with his own.
Nolan doesn't have a second unit director. He does pretty much everything himself, for better or worse.
I thought so, but thanks for the confirmation on that. My opinions still stand then. If he takes on a second unit for the action we may have our hands on a class A Bond film, but Nolan does like things much in his own vision.

Nolan knows his Bond films really well, I think he's has huge potential to do a Bond film. Gregg Wilson, and Chris Corbould (special effect director for Skyfall and Inception) both said Chris Nolan can pull off a Bond film. Also Sam Mendes said Skyfall was influence by The Dark Knight and Mendes said he would love Nolan to direct a Bond film. As I said, what's the harm of having Nolan manning a Bond film since Nolan himself was a long time Bond fan.
Because Nolan would want complete creative control.
What evidence is there stating that?
What do you mean? He's an auteur. He is very much the head honcho of his projects and would naturally want to do things his way. I feel there may be contention with him and EON, where he wants to do things a certain way that they don't agree with.
