Det var i et interview med Sky, at mesterinstruktøren Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer, Inception, Dark Knight Trilogy, Interstellar) forklarede, at han mere end gerne vil påtage sig opgaven at stå for James Bonds fremtid, men på én betingelse, nemlig at han får lov at bestemme, hvem der skal spille den legendariske agent. Nu ser det ud til, at det Amazon-ejede produktionsselskab Eon Pictures har tilbudt Nolan alt dette, samt muligheden for at skrive og instruere hele tre nye 007-film, som alle rygtes at være baseret på de tre første bøger om agenten, der er skrevet af Ian Fleming. Lidt ligesom Nolan gjorde med Batman, med andre ord. Det lyder fremragende, hvis du spørger os her på Gamereactor. Ifølge rygtet er der dog ét problem: EON vil have, at de nye film foregår i moderne tid, mens Nolan ønsker at lave periodebaserede film, der som sagt læner sig op ad kildematerialet.
Her kommer hele rygtet fra World of Freel:
"EON and Amazon are pushing for Nolan and that he's on board, in principle, unless his need for creative freedom isn't met. There are sticking points to be ironed out in terms of tone that might scuttle things though. EON wants a full reboot for the modern era with Nolan wanting to make adaptations of the Ian Fleming novels, in period settings, that stick close to the original source material. It's also unclear as to what what Amazon wants (apart from money). The goal is to get Nolan to do 2-3 films and then have him executive produce going forward. EON and Amazon are putting "all of their eggs in one basket" for Nolan due to the fact that he wants the job — he delivers critically and commercially successful films, and he's one of the few directors out there who can put butts in seats on his name alone."
Hvordan lyder det i dine ører med en Bond-trilogi instrueret af Nolan?
