    I don't get why people are opposed to having nolan direct. I think he would make a great Bond movie. Sam Mendes certainly didn't win me over with spectre or skyfall. Give the better guy a try

    Barbara Broccoli
    as the director of BOND 25? My insect antennae tell me @Gustav_Graves would love the idea. Tell me GG, if I'm wrong!

    Ehhh no? :-/

    Quite.

    Memento, The Prestige, BB, TDK, Inception, Dunkirk is a phenomenal CV.

    Even his slightly lesser efforts such as Insomina, TDKR and Interstellar are still pretty damn good.

    A far more impressive body of work than Villeneuve who I hear nothing but praise for.

    And from a business perspective he is practically the only director (Spielberg included these days) whose name on the poster can open a film.

    Absolutely. No previous Bond directors have been names that would draw in a crowd .

    I suppose that's right. Never thought about that before.

    Nolan would be great for Bond.

    Indeed. He has a huge fanbase (of which I am one) who will be drawn to the film regardless of cast. That won't be the case with anyone else.

    Tarantino's films make nowhere near the money Nolan's do. Plus with the fallout from Harveygate I think Quentin will be lying low for a bit.

    Interesting thought. Yes, he could very well be another one for which this applies.

    I would be very interested to see how Nolan would hastily integrate Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy, and Tom Hardy into the bond film.
    Because he almost certainly would...
    Tom Hardy as the henchman probably
    Don’t know about the other two.

    One of the reasons Nolan should stay clear of Bond. Those are all good actors but I'm tired of seeing them.

    Yeah none of them are much cop.
    I don't see any reason why Nolan shouldn't direct a Bond film. He clearly respects the subject matter. And is a director as has been mentioned of high regard, and who can open movies. Nolan and Bond would be a huge coup imo.

    Yeah Nolan's great. The only criticism against him I've seen that actually holds merit is that he's not very good at action but I think he's definitely gotten better. The first Batman vs Bane fight was so hard hitting and atmospheric and he's always good at big, epic setpieces (does them all practically as well). I'd love something as breathtaking as the plane scenes from Dunkirk in Bond 26.

    Nolan has two pitfalls. His action scenes can sometimes be a bit unimaginative. And secondly, his scripts tend to be a little exposition heavy. He remedied these with Dunkirk, and to be honest I think he has turned over a new leaf in his career now. From the start Nolan's film got sequentially bigger and more ambitious, peaking with TDK and Inception. TDKR and Interstellar got a bit bloated and I think he made a course correct. He removed a lot of the exposition and with Dunkirk it worked a treat. No doubt he will bring his A game to Bond. It's a big inspiration to him, and he is hoping to "give something back" as he puts it. I think he has a lot of ideas already.

    That's my one big worry with Nolan. But at least he does them for real and it's not like we're in the golden Glen era of action as it is. The QOS car chase and SF PTS are decent enough but other than that the last Bond action sequence to blow you away was the CR parkour 11 long years ago and counting.

    I've never had any problems whatsoever with Nolan's big setpieces.

    The truck sequence in TDK and LTK homage at the start of TDKR are two of the best setpiece scenes I've seen in the past twenty years in the theatre. I'm also tremendously impressed with the opening heist & TB homage 'Skyhook' in TDK, Bane/Bat fight in TDKR and countless imaginative scenes in Inception. He sets the mood very well too.

    I think we would benefit tremendously from that kind of quality work in a Bond film. It's something Bond used to do so well in the past (they used to lead the pack actually), but unfortunately there's been nothing to write home about for quite some time. The most recent benchmark sequence (imho) was the aerial crane parkour from CR.
