'Skyfall'- New James Bond Film

Stockslivevan wrote:I actually thought it was a well shot film. Well, at least when I was able to actually see something before the editor went hyper overdrive in the action sequences.

For a Visual NyQuil, I go for Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough. Those looked like generic 90s productions than Bond flicks.

Never saw either.

The "Batman Begins" and "Inception" director is a popular contender for directing 007.

In a recent interview Nolan mentioned his interest in directing a Bond film again.

"It would have to be the right situation and the right time in their cycle of things," he said.

He also is known to be a fan of the franchise and take a leaf from the early James Bond films - namely the Ski finale to Inception, which was heavily inspired by "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".

In the past Nolan has told the media he plunders ruthlessly from the Bond franchise.

The director is even rumoured to have met the Bond producers about the possibility of helming a future 007 adventure.

They have always been more like collaborative projects, so if he's prepared to put his ego aside and make something that he and the producers see eye to eye then I don't think he'll have too much of a problem.

One of the most anticipated film of the summer is the finale of Christopher Nolan directed Batman trilogy, “The Dark Knight Rises,” which lands in theaters next month. In an exclusive “Rises” Empire Magazine, the director discusses some future projects, his failed Howard Hughes film and a possible stint on James Bond.

Via The Playlist, published on Monday, Nolan spoke to Empire Magazine, confirming that a Howard Hughes biopic using Michael Drosnin’s "Citizen Hughes: The Power, the Money and the Madness" as source material is now defunct. Nolan joked about Bruce Wayne filling the void.

"Luckily I managed to find another wealthy, quirky character who's orphaned at a young age."

While the “Inception” director appears to have a pretty empty plate, other than producing Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” Superman reboot, he mentioned interest in directing a James Bond film.

"It would have to be the right situation and the right time in their cycle of things."

Nolan does cite Bond as a key influence in "Batman Begins" and the "Inception” final sequence in the snow inspired specifically from “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” Moreover, the “Insomnia” director appears to have met with MGM about working on the franchise in the past, so a Nolan reboot could be around the corner in a few years.

The special "Dark Knight Rises" issue of Empire, with much more from the director, is on newsstands now.

“Rises” stars Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine, all returning to reprise their roles from the first two Batman films. Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Pence and Marion Cotillard join the cast for the Batman conclusion.

“The Dark Knight Rises” opens in theaters on July 20,, 2012.
