Christopher Nolan Would Love To Direct a JAMES BOND Movie Saying - " It Would Be an Amazing Privilege To Do One"

It’s not hard to see the influence that James Bond has had on the films of Christopher Nolan. He even admits, "The influence of those movies in my filmography is embarrassingly apparent.” It’s pretty wild that Nolan has yet to direct a James Bond movie, but if the opportunity ever presented itself, it seems like he would gladly take advantage of the opportunity.

During a recent interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Nolan talked about the possibility of directing one saying: “It would be an amazing privilege to do one. At the same time, when you take on a character like that you’re working with a particular set of constraints."

Nolan continued saying: "It has to be the right moment in your creative life where you can express what you want to express and really burrow into something within the appropriate constraints because you would never want to take on something like that and do it wrong."

Nolan previously shared a few years ago that he has talked to the Bond franchise producers, saying: "I’ve spoken to the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson over the years. I deeply love the character, and I’m always excited to see what they do with it. Maybe one day that would work out. You’d have to be needed, if you know what I mean. It has to need reinvention; it has to need you. And they’re getting along very well."

Right now, the producers are figuring out how they are going to reboot the franchise with Daniel Craig no longer playing 007. They need to find a new Bond and a new direction to take the franchise. Maybe they should bring Nolan in to help build the next James Bond installment!

I have no doubt Nolan would make an awesome Bond movie, hopefully, one day we get to see him do it!
