What Christopher Nolan had said about James Bond

He added: “It has to be the right time in your creative life where you can express what you want to express and really delve into something within the appropriate limitations because you would never want to take on something like that and do it wrong.”
Nolan added that he felt a similar responsibility when he signed on to direct his film series. batman. However, he concluded that if he is going to get involved in any project, he must be fully accepted as a creative.
“You wouldn’t want to take on a film without being fully committed to what you bring to the table creatively. 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. Otherwise, I’m very happy to be the first in line to see whatever they do.”
