We've heard before that Christopher Nolan was interested in directing a James Bond film at some point in his career and it turns out that Bond is just as interested in Christopher Nolan. And if Skyfall director Sam Mendes was indeed influenced by Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight then it makes since for producers to look at the inspiring auteur if they're pleased with Skyfall's finished product. The film's assoicate-producer Gregg Wilson, son of long-time Bond producer Michael G. Wilson, has gone on record stating that
"Christopher Nolan would be a 'dream' choice for a future Bond director.We would of course be interested to have a discussion with him. We would like to do the same type of movie. It would be a dream to be with Nolan. But we always have an open mind when it comes to directors."
Just this past summer Nolan stated that he's very serious about the prospect of directing a James Bond film although the timing would have to be right. At the very least, I think there will definitely be a meeting between the two camps at some point in the future. Overall, it sounds like we could very well have an Elba/Nolan collaboration for a future Bond film?
Skyfall opens November 9th in the U.S.
