No, Christopher Nolan will not direct the next James Bond
The British filmmaker is categorical: it’s a “no, unfortunately no!”
It smells like a missed opportunity in the annals of the 7th art. Christopher Nolan confirms today that he will not direct the next film James Bond. In any case, it is not in his plans:
“No, unfortunately no, there is no truth in these rumors,” he confirmed to The Associated Press in an interview this week.
Because for some time now, it has been rumored that the producers of James Bond would be interested in Nolan. A perfect couple on paper, especially since the filmmaker has already often spoken about “the influence“007 films in his filmography.”It’s even embarrassing“, he laughed last July, confident that “it would be a huge privilege to do one. But it has to be the right time in your creative life, a place where you can also express yourself. I don’t want to take on something like this and do it badly. I don’t want to go into a movie that doesn’t fully engage with what I could bring creatively, as a writer, to the cast, everything. The complete package. My presence would have to be really necessary, to be requested…” Clear, Christopher Nolan requests full powers if he makes a James Bond. However, this is not the habit of the producers of 007 and we understand that the idea did not take hold. In any case, not for the moment.
It must be remembered that no project James Bond is not planned in the short term.
