It’s no secret that Christopher Nolan has a penchant for James Bond. The director of blockbusters such as ‘Interstellar’, ‘Inception’ and the ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy has been repeatedly confronted in interviews for years with the question of how it is that he is ready for a 007 mission and takes the director’s chair . There seems to be interest, but nothing measurable has come of it so far. But that can now change:
How be reported now Christopher Nolan “very serious about directing the next James Bond movie.” The site, which has been correct with some preliminary information in the past and is therefore classified as quite serious by us, points to an insider source. And there’s even more exciting information – which speaks partly for, partly against a commitment from Christopher Nolan.
Christopher Nolan insists on creative freedom
“I was told that there were talks with the director to direct the film, but a deal has not yet been done,” says Jordanruimy of who also highlights that there have been additional delays due to the current writers and actors strike and Nolan’s press tour for his current blockbuster “Oppenheimer”.
The problem: there are always certain specifications that come with a “James Bond” movie. However, Christopher Nolan insists – unlimited freedom of action in the creative process. A demand that hardly anyone in today’s blockbuster business could get away with – alongside Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, Nolan has also built up a certain reputation, a certain status, since the turn of the millennium.
And thus, he can demand creative freedom. Because hardly any other filmmaker has delivered such consistently good cinema at the highest level over the past twenty years, which is celebrated by both fans and the trade press and is also extremely successful.
On the podcast by Josh Horowitz, the British director recently spoke about James Bond. Nolan: “I love these movies. The influence of these films on my filmography is almost embarrassingly obvious. It would be a great privilege to be able to do that.” At the same time, the director also looks at the matter realistically, emphasizing, for example, “certain limitations” that come with working on a venerable figure like James Bond. However, Nolan wanted ““ – and to be so involved in the whole process.
Incidentally, the deal would concern not just one, but two films, for which Nolan would traditionally provide the screenplays. According to World Of Reel, Danny Boyle, Denis Villeneuve and Paul Greengrass are currently the backup directors should Nolan fail.
It is not yet known who will follow in Daniel Craig’s footsteps as James Bond. The highest odds are currently credited to Aaron Taylor-Johnson – and he would somehow fit Nolan as well. After all, he was also in front of the camera for ‘Tenet’.
“Oppenheimer” becomes a mega hit
No one doubts that a Christopher Nolan ‘James Bond’ movie will be a success at the box office. After all, the filmmaker has become a real brand over the years, one of the few directors whose films people go to the cinema for, regardless of the subject. ‘The Next Nolan Movie’ is a must see. The best in cinema. Coupled with the still immense box office power of the James Bond brand, this can only lead to a mega hit.
Still, what “Oppenheimer” has just achieved at the box office is more than impressive. Because the three-hour biopic about the ‘father of the atom bomb’ is really not easy, entertaining material that you just go to the cinema for after a long day at work. Nevertheless, the film is drawing the masses to the cinemas – and has been for over seven weeks.
With worldwide box office earnings of more than $854.5 million, “Oppenheimer” is the third highest-grossing film of the year – and even releases XXL Hollywood productions like “Guardians Of The Galaxy 3” ($845.5 million), “Fast & Furious 10” ($704.7 million) or “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1” ($560.5 million) behind. And given its evergreen qualities, that doesn’t have to be the end of the road…
