As many of you may have heard by now the famous director has expressed interest in one day directing a James Bond movie. With the near release of Inception upon us which is already receiving great reviews and a comparison to a mix of James Bond and the Matrix, he could be what the 007 franchise needs to get back on its feet. MGM Studios pushed back the next Bond film to a possible 2014 release due to financial troubles. This leaves a perfect opportunity for Nolan to direct the next Batman film, then possibly move to a James Bond movie.
Many out there can agree that the last Bond movie Quantom of Solace was not the best movie it could have been mainly due to a lacking plot line and lack of a great villian. The franchise more than likely cannot afford to have two lackluster movies in a row. Daniel Craig still is a great Bond, started off great with Casino Royale and no matter what the story is will still provide a great performance. With a great director and writer if Christopher Nolan wanted to create his own Bond screenplay providing the franchise with a great vision to revive the series. Plus it helps that Christopher Nolan has never made a bad film yet and probably never will because he is the best director in the business right now.
If Inception can make a great showing at the box office which is definately possible MGM should make a move to make this a reality. Releasing the next Bond after Batman 3, which will probably be one of the biggest box offices in history can only make the next Bond film that much bigger.
Overall Christopher Nolan will bring more story, bigger box office numbers, and momentum for the future of James Bond movies. Hopefully MGM makes their move soon before someone else signs him for directing a different movie.
