Christopher Nolan Reportedly Enters Talks To Helm BOND 24


This news is just a little surprising. The Daily Mail reports that James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have entered talks with acclaimed director Christopher Nolan to direct the twenty-fourth instalment in the popular franchise. It’s just coming off a billion-dollar hit with Skyfall, and as Sam Mendes has turned down a return for the next movie the hunt is on for his replacement.

However, this August Nolan starts production on Interstellar and will be overseeing post-production on that sci-fi flick until it’s November 2014 release. That being said, how can Nolan do both? Unless he jumps straight into Bond when Interstellar completes filming (likely sometime around February) he may have to either drop the hotly-anticipated movie about a crew of scientists who go through a wormhole, or turn down Bond 24.

Mendes told me that there would be at least a year to 18 months of pre-production preparation and then six months of filming involved in Bond 24, and the producers want to shoot the follow-up soon after.

This could position the movie in a Summer 2015 release, if all of this works out of course, however I’m not sure anyone would have the balls to go up against Disney that season with The Avengers 2, Star Wars Episode VII and Pirates of the Caribbean 5.
