Christopher Nolan talked about the possibility of directing a James Bond movie

“The influence of those films on my filmography is embarrassingly evident. It would be an incredible privilege to make aNolan told the Happy Sad Confused podcast when asked about the spy series. “At the same time, when you’re up against a character like that, you’re working with a particular set of constraints.”

The five-time Briton Oscar nominee added that any filmmaker who dares to take up the Bond legacy must approach the material with the “right attitude”.

“It has to be the right time in your creative life where you can express what you want to express and really dig into something within the appropriate constraints because you would never want to take something like that and do it wrong,” he said.

So as a writer, casting, everything, it’s a complete package.”, said. “You would have to be really needed and wanted in terms of bringing the totality of what you bring to a character.

The background of Christopher Nolan talking about James Bond

This, of course, isn’t the first time Nolan has danced about possibly signing on to direct a 007 movie. In 2017, Tenet filmmaker told Playboy he would “definitely” make a Bond movie and maintains an open dialogue with the producers of the series.

“I have spoken with 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 him,” she said. “Maybe one day that will work. You would have to be necessary, if you know what I mean. He has to need reinvention; he has to need you. And they get along very well.”
