Do YOU think Christopher Nolan should direct Bond 26? 🍸Should James Bond go back to the 60s? Comment below! 💥
No and no. As much as I’d like the ideas, I don’t think either of them would be that good for the franchise.
I love Nolan’s movies and I think a bond movie would be great. I also think his movies are maybe not for everyone. So mixed feelings right there. I’m sure he can make a great 60s Bond but I’m for a now days setting
Chris Nolan should do an adaption of James Bond as a period piece from where he was created: 1951-1963. It should be a 50s period piece about Britain losing its empire due to WWII and the COLD WAR.
It should be whatever Nolan wants it to be. He's earned that trust imo. 60s, 50s, 40s, it doesn't matter. As long as he has creative control, it will be good. Likely better than 80% of Bond movies.
Oh, and the younger generations barely even care about movies, let alone the Bond franchise. Please don't cater to an audience that isn't there.
Nolan just made a film set in the 40s about the man who led the creation of the nuclear bomb and you had people excited from all demographics. Something tells me Bond, James Bond in the 60s won’t be a hinderance or liability.
Sure! And we did make that point...it's not that the film wouldn't be successful or highly regarded...it's just would that be the best move for the character. Bond isn't strictly a product of the 60s and bringing him back there could potentially reinforce that idea. I agree, Oppenheimer showed people would be down for a period piece...people being down and it being what's bast for the character are two separate things.
But that was about an actual historical event. James Bond is a fictional character. You are comparing apples and oranges.
@@FilmSpeak Yeah but I don't see why it can't be what's best for the character. They can always steer clear of most of the antiquated and needless stuff that are depicted in the old content and still make it feel like a story about a spy in the 60s. This is not the best example (cause the movie sucks) but Kingsman did that with their latest entry without being controversial.
@@FilmSpeak There is no "best" - it's all subjective. A 60's period piece with the cold-war and secret government CIA type technologies and such that we know was goin on back then could bring some very interesting combinations of 60s time, but with secret high-tech tools that the general public didn't know existed back then, but Bond would use. With the high-stakes tension of such a post World War era, it would be a pretty riveting portrayal of drama in those times, especially with what strikingly impactful vibes we know Nolan can paint in such a setting in Oppenheimer and Dunkirk.
I hope he learns that it's possible to not have blaring music through out the whole movie. I won't watch another Nolan Movie until he learns to allow quiet moments in his movies. Oppenheimer is supposed to be a period piece about scientists working on a project together. Yet he chooses loud soundtrack that makes it seem like it's supposed to be a Transformer movie
Christopher Nolan's direction is superb. Interstellar had me inhaling own tears after the credits start rolling.
He truly is one of the greats!
Honestly it would be a smart way to make Bond relevant today. Nothing more relevant than Nolan right now when it comes to film. I strongly disagree that going back in time would be a bad move, I think it would be a great idea.
I agree that Nolan would get people excited about Bond but idk if setting it in the 60s is the move...idk I don't hate it because I think Nolan is the guy who could make a 60s Bond work...but the idea in general is a bit regressive.
Last Rat Standing.
He’ll be a great bond director.
Film Theory is right. I believed in him and my faith is rewarded.
@@FilmSpeak it isnt, you guys are conflagrating the period the films came out with their setting, making a period bond movie now wouldnt mean making a film like if the one they made in the 60ps, it would be a totally modern take, but in a period setting, its clear to see.
@@FilmSpeak On the contrary, it could be the exact opposite. Something completely fresh, cuz it would be done by Nolan, in the context of today's filmmaking and world. And we all know how Nolan always brings something mindblowingly new and refreshing to the table with each and every film he does.
Bond is relevant the way he was. If they modernize him he isn't James Bond. Most Bond fans hated the last James Bond. We already had a black female 007, and people didnt love it.
Don’t forget that we all clamored for his Directing talent to direct Bond films since after we all saw Inception.
Yeah, and remember we all clamored for J.J. Abrams to direct Star Wars after we'd seen what he'd done with Star Trek, since that seemed like the better fit for his talents, and boy the phrase "be careful what you wish for" as never been more applicable.
The only way he’ll take it and fans will accept it, is if he has 100%, completely full creative control. Let’s see if they give it to him.
I hope it happens!
@@FilmSpeakSame here. Also, to your friend’s point about it feeling antiquated and alienating younger viewers if they set it in the 50s-70s: are we forgetting that one of the most popular franchises of the past decade is Stranger Things, which opened the floodgates for period nostalgia? Younger audiences absolutely love seeing those times.
@@alexman378Stranger Things was set in the ‘80s, so all that tells is that younger audiences would accept ‘80s nostalgia, whereas there’s been other period films like The Man From UNCLE which have tanked.
@@samuelbarber6177 Man From UNCLE also came out a couple months before Spectre and since it didn’t have a ton of marketing, people will choose the popular IP over the unknown one.
Also, you’re forgetting that Nolan is himself a brand. You think if anyone else released an Oppenheimer biopic, it would collect nearly a billion at the box office?
Why would producers gave him full control ? Film making is a team work not a one man buisness. James Bond is a child of broccoli family, film directors are teachers who groom that child for every decade. Director's are supposed to help that child improve not get complete control over that child.
I don't Mind if Nolan made his own Spy Movie, but if he did made his own Bond then i don't mind for a Period Piece. He has done it with Oppenheimer.
He's already made a bunch of his own spy movies lol
Tenet?
Have you not seen Tenet? That’s his James Bond.
Speaking from someone who enjoyed No Time To Die at the time, but upon reflection not really caring to rewatch it anytime soon, I think Nolan is the perfect choice to reboot the franchise and it needs it. Now that Bond has essentially been deconstructed in the Craig Era, I think it’s time for something different but a little bit more traditional at the same time.
But Nolan doesn’t do traditional Bond. He does the gritty grounded realism. The Craig Bonds are the ones he should’ve directed. After Craig, fans are going to want to see a return to the slightly more fantastical elements of Bond and Nolan can’t do that.
@@Linklex7 I think Nolan can pull it off. You have to remember that inception is a pretty fantastical film, but Nolan grounded the film to where you could get invested in the concept. You believed in the concept so much even though the movie wasn’t realistic. But I hear what you’re saying 🙂
Nolan's Batman is far from gritty, fight scenes were really weird in dark knight, so i believe he could do cinematic bond film with less gritty, just don't let him touch the script, Nolan's film's work best when his brother write script.
Also, i still like No Time To Die, it was perfect end to Craig's bond.
I disagree that Bond would not sell if it's a period piece. As a huge fan of the movies and original books, I'm sad that we never got accurate adaptations.
I've been saying for a while that Bond should be in a period setting. It's the only way to set it apart from the recent films.
exactly i think its an amazing idea. it wouldn't be going backward, it would be going "forward", meaning something new and refreshing.
@soulpath1 Yep. He's shown he can do period pieces with The Prestige and Oppenheimer as well as Bond style movies like Inception and Tenet.
His idea for a 1960's James Bond is awesome!
Nolan is so, so good that anything else wouldn't matter if he directs. I blindly trust in his abilities and capabilities to create "The James Bond to end all James Bond".
Couldn’t be more wrong. Not only only would the series derive huge benefit by returning to original time, place and setting, but also a huge audience would turn out to watch it. You’re putting way too much importance on woke crap and what’s pc etc, which seems large on social media but is a tiny minority in the real world. Bring on Nolan’s adaptions
Fully agree, the guy on the right is straight up Waffling, Nolan literally made Oppenheimer which did $900m in box office impressive for a period piece, and regardless Nolan will still be able to make such a period piece so cool and relevant and I trust his casting too
So you want a period bond Film so you don’t get black people in it lmao. Damn makes sense why all advocating for it.
If tenet is a preview for Nolan’s bond, it will suck. Tenet was unbelievably confusing
I have concept Nolan directing, Jamie Dornan as James Bond, and Hans Zimmer
Hahaha that would be awesome

Recap by Tammy AI
Don’t forget that SkyFall is beat to beat a copy of TDK.
Well that's just not true...
@@FilmSpeak Bro, what are you talking about? Sam Mendes himself admitted to this.
Have you seen older bond film's ? Nolan copied many scenes from older bond film's from skyhook scene from Thunderball, joker shoes was copied from Rosa klebb shoes, Fox character is completely copied from older Q.
Skyfall isn't copy from dark knight.
Sam Mendes already clarified that he never said he copied it.
It being a period piece is what exited me the most
I think the issue no one's mentioned is if Nolan does adaptations, then the first film will have to be Casino Royale. One of the best, most respected and popular Bond films, and made less than 20 years ago, with the last actor to play Bond. To start off the franchise with this would seem pointless, even with Nolan doing it. The film is also a fairly close adaptation.
The other big problem with faithful adaptations is a lot of the novels is Bond's inner monologue thoughts, including on food, drink, brands. Would that also be incorporated in as a voice-over (Tarantino wanted to do when he was aiming to do CR)? And in a surprising amount of the novels Bond doesn't get the girl, he's more unlucky in love than you'd imagine. Finally, if you're keeping it faithful you need to remember Bond of the books isn't particularly charming or witty. A lot of that was invented for the films. Novel Bond is something of a curmudgeon, and often rude to women and men.
Totally down for a faithful adaptation to Bond from the novels. Most audiences will not love that but with good writing, it'll eventually win them over.
If he does a 60s Bond, it should probably be a one-off which I don't think they're looking for. I do like the retro futurist aesthetic for Bond.
Maybe you could do a small Bond anthology run
At this point in his career, Christopher Nolan and Bond don't feel compatible. If Nolan made a Nolan movie, it wouldn't be true to what the Bond franchise is, and if Nolan made a Bond movie, it would feel like the movie is holding him back from the high-concept ideas and intricate stroytelling he's great at. I think if it's happening, it will turn out to be a weird compromise that no one's gonna really be satisfied with.
To make a more personal point, I'm a huge Christopher Nolan fan, and a casual Bond fan, and right now, this seems way too similar to James Cameron doing Avatar movies for the rest of his life, and I fear that might happen with Nolan too. I am so saddened by the fact that we lost James Cameron to Avatar, a series which I find painfully mediocre knowing what he can do and I don't want the template of the Bond franchise to shackle Nolan and limit his more creative ideas (while I fully respect and appreciate those templates and their legacy)
Hearing the arguments against setting Bond as a period piece from this guy makes me glad someone like Nolan is in charge, and not him.
Their minds are too infested with twitter loud mouths crying about the period not aligning with todays standards. Just because it is set there, doesn't mean it should cover all aspects of the period. And it's a Bond film, not a period piece based on actual events. And also, we will enjoy that regardless of the setting.
The 60s are incredibly similar to now - and I think tacking out the tech will make a more interesting film.
Get Nolan to direct and Henry Cavill to star and I’m there.
Personally, I think this is all just a baseless rumor. But for the sake of argument as to whether or not a period-set Bond film(s) would be good for the franchise as a whole this discussion really needed to address the fact that 11 years from now the character of James Bond becomes public domain. By spending the interim retreating into the past EON would effectively be throwing up their hands and saying: "We don't know how to make Bond work in the 21st century ".
the dude handled batman to near perfection he can handle bond.
I would be surprised if MGM and the Broccoli family caves to it being set in the 60’s. They have always stayed with Bond being current to the times. Tarantino wanted to do that with Casino Royale and I think I remember correctly that that was one of the major components they didn’t like about his pitch.
Chris Nolan doesn’t do anything he doesn’t want to. If he approached Eon about James Bond as his first move after the monumental success of Oppenheimer, then I’m sure he’s been sitting on a pretty good idea for a while.
Unlike the sixties, we live in an era oversaturated with franchises that flaunt their tech-“Mission Impossible”, “Kingsmen”, the MCU, the DCU. So constantly trying to outdo that with mere spectacle and concept might be the arms race Nolan is trying to escape. He might want to focus on the tactical, investigative, resourceful appeal of Bond using what’s around him to its fullest; impressing his comrades, instead of US.
Sherlock did come to our era thanks to Benedict Cumberbatch and it was brilliant.
Awful.
@@Deanhughes5707 You are entitled to your rare opinion. 😊
Also seem to be forgetting the two Downey Jr Holmes films were hits, and were set in the novel's Victorian Times but modernised the execution and character.
@@davidjames579 Yeah but it was still in the victorian era. I liked them ( will also watch the third one when they make it ) but no one has ever brought Sherlock to our times and made such a fresh take on it like Benedict Cumberbatch in BBC Sherlock. So many of my friends decided to buy and read the original novels thanks to this version.
@@kindabatooni9314And also down to the fresh take on Moriarty
I am a young bond fan and my first movie was Skyfall. Going back would be a great idea for my generation. We have modern bond films already with Craig. We need that Connery swagger back in cinema
True. A Bond movie would ruin Nolan the same way a Batman movie would ruin Nolan
I would do two films. One is to use Thomas Doherty the Connery look-a-like for a one off. Like it was a missing Connery film. The second movie would be more modern with Henry Cavill. That could be called Property of a Lady, Risico, or The Hildebrand Rarity. Nolan stated that he like Timothy Dalton the best but love on Her Majesty's Secret Service as his best film. Aiden Quinn looks more like Dalton.
It'd be great if this is timed with the IO interactive video game to. Like Batman with Dark Knight then Arkham Asylum, a nice golden era for the character in two major types of entertainment.
I think Nolan would ruin James Bond's career. He already showed his capability for that in Tenet, by casting Kenneth Branagh and Elizabeth Debicki as archetypes. There is only one good reason to look back; and that's to gain insight into the future. Attractive as it seems, I think retrospection shows a failure of nerve
I think unintentionally inspired someone to give Brad Bird a shot at being a James Bond Director with your Incredibles suggestion
How would that work with Universal?
Just please do not let him be in control of the sound mix. I like to hear what the actors are saying.
I am so happy that the Dark Knight trilogy.
I want a Nolan Western or Horror film.
the Last thing i Hope for Nolan is, he put Iko Uwais as the MC in his Movie, Pencak Silat and Mind-Bending Story could he fit that?
Before watching the video: I actually don’t want Christopher Nolan to direct a Bond film. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly I want James Bond to return to the fun it used to have like in the Pierce Brosnan era and I think Christopher Nolan is much more likely to give us a gritty Bond film that’s more real possibly a bit like Sam Mendes. The 2nd reason is he’ll almost definitely want complete creative control something the producers won’t want to give him and there are always other writers on Bond films.
After watching the video: Ok my case needs a little refinement but I still don’t want him for Bond. Maybe he wouldn’t be that gritty, maybe he wouldn’t be like Sam Mendes but the James Bond franchise used to have certain elements of fun in some action scenes that I’ve never seen proof Nolan could do. Scenes like the Pre-title sequence, car chase and motorbike chase in Tomorrow Never Dies, the Thames chase and Mine sequence in The World is not enough and skiing sequences across the franchise. Don’t get me wrong Nolan is great at action but there is a certain quality to these action sequences in Bond films that I’ve never seen direct proof Nolan could capture and that is a detail that I’m really hoping returns to the franchise.
I think Bond is a period piece precisely because he is contemporary. Watching old Bond movies is like opening a time capsule and peering into a bygone era. Every movie has been set in the modern (contemporary) times and I think it should stay that way.
Bond is the alpha male and modern culture has killed the alpha male or made him into a villian. Therefore, you can't have a modern Bond unless he becomes something like Batman or Jason Bourne who isn't "smooth with the ladies" but just doing his job/the right thing and ladies are crossing his path naturally.
Nolan’s favorite Bond film is ‘The Spy Who Loved Me.’ That’s a good sign. Definitely has one of the best songs.
I think the period piece angle would be intriguing. It would give the world a structural limits that the latest Bond films generally lack. These days, Bond can do anything and the villains have nearly unlimited technological power. I like the idea of a Bond film that creates built-in limits on those elements and I actually think it would ground the film on the people and story. Maybe the Bond aficionados would say that's not the point of a Bond film, but it's a Bond film I'd be interested in seeing.
It won’t ruin Christopher Nolan. People said that about tenet then Oppenheimer came out and everyone loved it. And I agree he will have to write in the lines for which the creators pose on him but he also (maybe to a lesser extent) had to stay between the lines for the dark knight trilogy and people say that is the best superhero trilogy ever made.
they also said that batman would ruin nolan, but it only made him one of the biggest directors of all time
When Daniel Craig was announced that he was the new James Bond, I was skeptical, because he wasn't a Roger
Moore like alike or a Sean Connery male idol, and Casino Royale wasn't a Goldfinger movie, and my sister didn't
even want to see Casino Royale, but I saw the movie, & I told her to see it because it was awesome. Daniel Craig
was a great Bond, but his contribution to it's success was at most 50%, w/c isn't. The real secret of Casino Royale
was the plot, the story. There wasn't much gadgets in the movie and it could've been a 60's or set in the 70's or
what ever and it would still be a hit. So you could set it in the 50s or 60s but with a very good story & director, it
would sell and with Christopher Nolan to direct it, we couldn't go wrong
He has made james bond films , not the ones that people are accustomed to , if you look at The dark knight Trilogy , inception and Tenet , those are james bond type films all the elements are there . I would love to see him go back to making films like The prestige, Insomnia , Momento etc.
Give Nolan full control and he will deliver. He has always has as proven by every movie he has created. Nolan, in my opinion, is the greatest director of all time. I discovered him via a single copy of Memoir at a video store I worked at when it was a new release. We only had the one copy because he wasn't really known at the time.The dude on the right does not speak for all of us. When you can write like Nolan your speculation will matter. And the only people that think Bond is antiquated are the fools of cancel culture.
I would definitely be interested in seeing Christopher Nolan do a period piece bond movie... But I also don't necessarily want to see him focus the rest of his career on another franchise. It would be more exciting to see him crank out another original masterpiece, rather than existing IP
I love Bond and Nolan and would probably like whatever baby they make; But I would be hesitant on him Producing going forward. I don't know what happened with Zach Snyder and DC but i recall Nolan being involved with that to some extent and it didn't really work. I believe Nolan would be much more interested and invested in Bond that the DC super hero stuff post Rises, but it would worry me. There is an art to directing and having that vision but there is also a different art to producing that is very different from directing,
That said, I wasn't a fan of No Time To Die. It felt classically saccharine with him dying and all of that. I feel like Peter Griffen when describing the God Father. It insists upon itself.
I love Nolan, but I really really hope he does something other than bond next. I really would like to see Nolan do something entirely new. No IP, no source material, just an original screenplay.
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
Thank you dude!
The ‘retro 60s’ thing sounds interesting. It has to be Robert Pattinson as Bond regardless of who directs.
Nolan doesn't have to do a Bond film. He's established himself as a major director in Hollywood doing the kinds of films he wants to make and studios let him. Warner Bros. let him have a lot of control when he rebooted Batman which is rare but he's proven himself worthy of making great films that are profitable. He's shown that you can have big money making movies with substance. I saw The Dark Knight again on the big screen recently at a local movie theatre and it just floored me and reminded me how Nolan was able to take a comic book hero and make the characters and world feel so real that you're on the edge of your seat at times. Nolan just knows what he's doing when it comes to filmmaking. His career will be just fine with or without James Bond.
Nolan would be wasted doing a bond film.
Didn’t know I would need this video so much, I really didn’t know! Thank you, Griffin! Greetings from Switzerland!
Nolan probably won't ever direct a Bond movie, since he ALREADY did his own version of Bond with Tenet.
I kinda feel the same way, but Interstellar actually clicks for me because there's an actual moving plot underneath the "did I just blow your mind?" veneer.
Tenet just feels tedious and has a very complicated plot that accomplishes very little.
I think a lot of sci fi writers fall into the pitfall of making the stakes too high. Whether you're saving a single person or saving the world, the viewer is probably going to feel about the same amount of tension. But we can connect more easily to personal stories, and plus, they feel more believable. By lowering the stakes and making the story more personal, you can actually make the viewer more invested than by choosing the most hyperbolic scenario like "if we don't destroy X, all life in the universe will cease to exist"
I can't even comprehend that. I'm not concerned about hypothetical space crabs on a moon near alpha centari. I just want to know that the characters I know are going to be okay.
What about doing a five movies series with each in a different decade, 1960 1970 1980 1990 2010. That could be cool. Then they could use a different actor for each.
The dude with the cap is too focused on "modern" and "how modern audience would take 60's Bond".
Nolan makes art through his films mate, THAT'S why his movies garner a lot of audience, because he stands out and stay true to his own formula and creative decision whether it fits modern audience or not.
Art can't please everybody but could please the people who could appreciate its forms, not everything needs to be modernized just to fit modern audience, to be accepted.
In fact, don't ever force your art to fit in with modern audience, that would temper with the quality of your art, I get that you have to think about the profit and all but the way to do that when it comes to art is to do your best to make your best creation, it means your passion for the project is the key to success, NOT whether or not it fits modern audience, be very careful on who you're trying to please.
5:03 I think you need to see a Bond movie in period settings first before you knock it. No one has done it yet so you have nothing to base your skepticism on. Tbh, I don’t think anyone even wants to see another “modern” take of Bond. There’re many other movies that do the “modern Bond” better than the actual Bond movies nowadays lol. I’m thinking Atomic Blonde vibes and I’m all for it 🔥
If he ever does direct, write ✍️, and produce a James Bond film, I really hope that Christopher Nolan casts…
Henry Cavill as 007
Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Bond’s brother/ Sidekick
Idris Elba and David Dastmalchian as the Villains
Emily Blunt as Female Bond/ Bond’s love interest
Lashana Lynch as Nomi (reprising her role from No Time To Die)
Naomie Harris as MoneyPenny (reprising her role from Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time To Die)
Ben Whisaw as Q (reprising his role from Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time To Die)
Tom Hardy
with Robert Downey Jr
Margot Robbie as Female Bond/ 007’s brother’s love interest
and Cillian Murphy
Olivia Rodrigo or Ed Sheeran & Taylor Swift should write and perform an original theme music
Hans Zimmer compose the soundtrack
Executive Producers: Zack Snyder
Produced By: Christopher McQuarrie p.g.a., Christopher Nolan p.g.a.
Emma Thomas p.g.a.,
Written By: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Christopher McQuarrie & Christopher Nolan
Directed By: Christopher Nolan
I also wish that film was 3hrs long like Oppenheimer, and get $2B Box Office film.
Production Company: New Line Cinema, Syncopy, Inc. Legendary Pictures, Eon Productions
Distributed By: Universal Pictures & Warner Bros. Pictures
why would he? every movie he made so far is love letter to Bond, historic movies excluded. he would be perfect for the job tho
I really liked Elementary, they did a good job of bringing Sherlock Holmes to the modern age.
For me Tarantino should make a bond film, he’s very knowledgeable about genre movies
Ironically making it contemporary would make it generic. It’ll just be like any other modern action movie.
Hopefully he got apart in Batman: Caped Crusader.
I don't think sticking with modern times is necessary at all for this franchise to work. Making a movie that takes place in the 60s doesn't mean it has to be done like a 60s movie. When Nolan announced Oppenheimer I couldn't imagine how he'd pull this off, but he did. Anything Tarantino made after Kill Bill is set in period and it works. There are numerous examples that this can be done - so there's a good possibility that he knows what he's doing. However this can go only in two directions - it'll either be excellent or a total disaster.
Oh Nolan is directing batman? This is gonna end his career. Boom.
Yeah WE ARE sick of Bond being politically correct.
Tarantino wanted to make a 60's set Bond film. There are other rumours linking Nolan to Star Wars, but I can't see that one myself. He's always said he wanted to make a Bond.
This dude has no imagination. You can absolutely have contemporary themes told in a period setting.
I think Nolan would be the perfect person to carry the bond franchise forward. If he is talking about doing a retro interpretation, I totally would be there for that. You can really think about his movies as alternate realities in general. Interstellar was like a alternate reality version of 2001 a space Odyssey, only less boring. He did the movie Dunkirk and it made a lot of money and people still talk about it but there were two other movies that were about war and They came out about the same time 1917 and Midway. 1917 did decent business, but Midway was a total flop.
Are you telling me that if he combined Moonraker and goldeneye with that Nolan style you would hate it come on. If they are on the fence and they wind up, not choosing him, I think it would be disastrous for the bond franchise.
6:19 NO. Movies should not have the responsibility of pleasing everyone. If it doesn't appeal to a certain group of audience, let it be.
I think you guys are really missing what would be so smart about going back in time with Bond. It could allow Nolan to do what the X-Men movies did when they initially went back in time and were actually good for a while. People have a small baseline of knowledge about the history at the time, and it could be interesting to see how Bond fits into that world. It could make him interesting in a way that does not force him to rely on relevance to the times. It can make Bond timeless because a period film made by people not from that time will bring out an interesting blend of the time it is set in and the time it is made in. Trust me, after a few movies of it, people will think it was fun and then want to get back to the usual Bond theatrics like people wanted more comic accurate Batman after Nolan's gritty version. I also would love to get more historical movies by Nolan, but that is just because I love history and Nolan and would love to get the two together.
I would 100% go to the theatre to go see a Nolan Bond or Double 0 Nolan movie. And he has the clout be able to cast his own Bond
Nolan bond trilogy even if set in 60s will give source material for next bond films for at least 5 films. He will give us a psychological thriller that's for sure. Who is complaining bro!?
I feel like parts of his batman films and tenet are james bond
Godzilla, James Bond, and Batman our Three Series that Could be a Period Piece in Todays World, i'mean Godzilla Minus-One is almost Obvious, Bond and Nolan could be a Retro-Movie because he already did with Oppenheimer, and Batman: the Animated Series and the Will of Not be Caped Crusader is set in both a 50s and 90s Movie.
That was basically the case I was making but only if he helms it.
Ian Fleming wrote 12 novels and two short story and article collections, approximately annually except the final postuhumous one. SEVEN of those books came out in the 1950s. Yes, From Russia With Love was set in the Cold War - so was that comparitively recent Man From UNCLE movie. None of the Bond movies were ever actually set in the Fifties. That was where it started, when Fleming wanted to write an espionage version of Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer. Half the Bond movies had virtually nothing to do with the books that inspired them other than titles and a few character names. And from the Aston Martin DB5 every movie had to ramp up the gimmicks and stunts and get them further away from what Fleming's books were about. Most of the Moore movies were comedies - so was the first Dalton and the last Brosnan and the last Connery. If I want a parody I can watch Casino Royale '67 or the Austin Powers movies. I want my 007 movies played straight. If you want a Cold War era Bond movie, hell, the years after the McCarthy hearings were crazy anti-communist.
Controversial opinion: I would love to see Nolan - or anyone - do an accurate adaptation with The Spy Who Love Me - a gothic romance novel in which Bond shows up to rescue the damsel in the final third of the story.
To paraphrase "New Q": "Laser beam wristwatches and exploding pens and submersible sports cars - we don't do that any more."
We need to go backwards, as I think we have squeezed all the juice out of the modern James Bond now being Daniel and pierce. Disagree with me that’s fine, but these two bonds are the modern era to me as I grew up on them two bonds
Amazon wants a 2020s Bond
But Nolan would only make a 60s Bond and it would be fucking amazing but the world has too much hierarchical thinking of Bond and opinions on what it should be that no matter how good the film (hint TDKR) not enough people will allow themselves to enjoy enough to be a The Dark Knight/Inception mega-hit, it a disaster like TDKR which is a prefect film that people don't appreciate unfortunately
Actually this year he was asked whether he’d ever make a Star Wars film and he refused to answer.
I'm torn... for 2-3 movies, i'd love a period piece bond. for another 5-6.... i dont think id want that.
Since when have they been "fated" to go together?
Griifin just made me want a Christopher Nolan Star Wars movie.
Most of the modern takes on bond seems to have to deal with him being a “dinosaur” in a modern era, why not take him back to the time of the “dinosaurs”. I think the younger generation isn’t excited about seeing this same story and the older generation wants to stop seeing the these movies justify their existence in a modern era. Why not try something different? If Bond represents the men of the era his movies are made in, most men (and people in general) long for any other time but now.
I think I’d rather Nolan keep making Nolan movies and someone else do the next Bond.
I'll watch any Bond without Daniel Craig
tbh feels like nolan has gotten to the point where he's done majority of the A tier projects he has wanted to do and is now looking for something different. Star wars and james bond are cultural icons and something he probably grew up with so it will be a different type of project
I heard they are doing a dystopian future James Bond. Which honestly doesn't sound good. Futuristic James Bond is just Blade Runner in a suit.
I'm not sure if Nolan is the right fit for Bond; however if a director of his caliber seriously wanted to direct a Bond film you'd be an idiot not to give him the chance. The problem is that EON like the MCU doesn't tend to work with directors that they can't control and Nolan is an auteur no matter how many gen X wanna' be film vloggers try to claim that auteurs don't really exist.
EON could probably use Nolan right now a lot more than Nolan needs them, seeing as they've pretty much done with Bond what Warner's had done to Batman when Nolan took that franchise over.
I feel like Nolan spent the last decade distance himself from franchise movies since the dark knight rises, and it would be a shame for him to go back and not use his creative talent on more original projects
9:48 well if they did it with how a lot of men are now, like you 2, Bond would be too offended to leave his house and he wouldn't kill cuz that would make his bleeding heart cry
It can be a three movie arc, one in the 60s, one for the 90s and last film to represent the latest era. each movie can represent the spy genre in different light and how the world and its apparent stakes have changed in the time. Actor can be the same in each era but the character has evolved. And lastly Nolan is an excellent choice, he already gave his audition or job resume with Inception. Careers in Hollywood can become stale but I think Bond Franchise wont hurt Nolan
Two cents from a fan of Connery, Dalton and Craig
I mean he did Batman near flawlessly. I doubt it will ruin his career
I'll just be happy if they get an actor who can make Bond interesting again. Daniel Craig played the role like a corpse.
