    I'd like to see Stephen Frears or Ken Loach give a Bond movie a go :P

    Tom Hooper could be a good shout, not much action experience but he done a great job with Les Misérables,

    He's a terrible director whose TV roots are still obvious. Les Miserables was baby things but well directed was not one of them, his use if close up was irritating and added nothing to the film. Even more annoying was his decision to frame every scene do it looked like it was set in the same world as Battlefield Earth.

    There's a hundred or so directors I'd put ahead of Hooper and on that list would be Paul W. Anderson which says all I need to on just how much I rate Hooper's chances at succeeding in the Bond universe. I do think that with a decent script that he had no hand in Anderson could actually deliver a good film.

    Vaughn is a very strong possibility. He's free, he's worked with Craig before, he's on record as saying he'd like do a Bond, and the producers have considered him in the past.

    It's no secret that Nolan's a major fan of Bond but I think D'Agger is right. I can't see Nolan taking up this franchise as it is, I think he'd want to make it his own. That means casting his own Bond and taking the story where he wants to take it.

    Christian Slater as the villain. He'd be great.

    Source
    Christopher Nolan has been
    approached to direct the next 007 movie.
    It’s
    early days, but informal talks have begun between Nolan, his representatives
    and the powers behind the James Bond pictures, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.Wilson........

    :cool:

    I don't see how Nolan can do this or why MGM would even want him. Mendes apparently pulled out because of exhaustion and not being able to go back into production so soon. Nolan hasn't even started shooting Interstellar yet, which I assume will be another 6 month shoot, and we know he likes to focus on one film at a time. He also likes to be involved in the scripting, so to get him they'd probably have to get rid of Logan and throw out whatever crap he's written so far. All this could push Bond 24's start date back a year or two. Then they'd have to contend with Nolan's preference for shooting everything himself, which would result in a 6-7 month shoot (Skyfall shot for 4 months with second unit doing all the action scenes).

    Why would MGM go to all this trouble when they've just made the biggest Bond ever with a theatre director who had never done an action movie before at the helm? And why would Nolan leave Warners, where he can do pretty much whatever he wants, to go share creative control with Eon?

    I would put absolutely no faith in that report being even the least bit true. It's the Mail after all and they have no problem taking any old rumor and fashioning it into a story. Anyways what the hell is informal talks exactly, did someone associated with Bond 24 mention in passing to a friend of a friend of Nolan's baker that they' like Nolan to direct.

    Nolan at this rate has blank cheque status with Warner, he's made them billions at this point between Batman, Inception and a producer stake in Man of Steel which is pretty much a guaranteed hit. Can't see him giving that up to go to a very tightly controlled franchise. Anyway he got to make his own Bond-esque sequences in Inception. I'm sure if, and it's a major if, he did go make a Bond film it'll be the 25th one, I'd be far more excited at the thought of a new original Nolan film instead of him helming an established francise film.

    As I said before, Nolan wants to make a Bond film. But he'd very much want carte blanche which would include hiring his own Bond so I can't see any potential talks bearing fruit. That is, unless, they're granting Craig's wish and not asking him back.

    Where did Daniel Craig ask to be allowed drop out of the next Bond?

    If Nolan does do the next bond film, I wonder what roles Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy will play? :D

    Well I imagine Caine & Hardy will play an old and young version of Bond.
    JGL could play Blofeld

    Hardy would make a great Bond villain, I'd love to see Michael Fassbender get a shot at Bond

    I hope Fassbender gets a shot too!
    About 2/3 years ago I put a bet on him to be the next Bond after Craig.
    About 2 weeks afterwards the Craig 5 movie deal was announced!

    Good, I really don't want Nolan to go near a Bond, he could do with something a bit different.

    I was never interested in Nolan being involved in a Bond movie. I’d rather see him meld his influences into something interesting instead of making a straight up Bond movie.

    Besides how do you believe a guy called Baz Bamigboye...

    I'd still love to see someone do an origin story for a Bond-like character... take the notion of an orphaned Brit being turned into a double-O MI6 agent and take it all *way* too seriously. There's a cracking movie in the idea and someone like Nolan could pull it off excellently.

    Be interesting to see who will be cast as the villain as Bardem was great in Skyfall, a few other forums seem to suggest Kevin Spacey to unite with Mendes and his career is on the up after his performance in House of Cards

    Steve Carell has said he wants to play a Bond villain :P

    Bardem was one of the low point of Skyfall for me personally
