Is Christopher Nolan being courted to direct the BLADE RUNNER sequel/prequel?

As we reported, Warner Bros. has purchased the sequel/prequel rights for Blade Runner. Christopher Nolan has made it clear by his past statments and the films that he's directed that he is a fan of Ridley Scott.  The rumor that is currently floating around is that Nolan is being courted to direct the sequel/prequel.

Producer Andrew A. Kosove is currently seeking big name directors to potentially direct the next Blade Runner movie. The first director on his wish list is Nolan, according to reports from JoBlo via io9

Kosove made the following statement:

"Our friend Christopher Nolan who we did Insomnia [with] would be the pie in the sky for us. To be clear I think what Christopher Nolan did - and to be clear, we cannot remake Blade Runner. As a legal matter, we have not bought the remake rights we have no interest in remaking it we can only do prequels or sequels. But I think the methodology that Christopher Nolan brought to Batman is precisely what we aspire to whomever the filmmaker is, whether Ridley Scott comes back and joins us or it's someone else. It's precisely what we aspire to with Blade Runner, that's the template for us."

Here is what Kosove said regarding Ridley Scott's blessing on the project: 

"The answer to that question is as follows. I'm going to answer it very briefly - we won't say if we've reached out to Ridley Scott or not, but what we will say is that Ridley Scott's blessing to what we're doing is very important to Alcon. It's important to Bud Yorkin, and certainly we have the greatest degree of respect to him as a filmmaker. He's one of the greatest living directors and one of the greatest directors of all time. So of course he's very important."

What are your thoughts on Kosove's plan to for a prequel/sequel to Blade Runner? What are your thoughts on Nolan's possible involvement?
