When Sam Mendes announced he would not be available to helm another Bond picture after the incredible success of
Skyfall, the "how do we top
that?" dilemma echoed throughout the halls of MI6. Well, it's no secret that director Christopher Nolan is a massive James Bond fan -
Inception's elaborate ski attack sequence is a pretty clear nod to
On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Now, in a pretty nifty case of synchronicity, word comes that Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have been talking to Nolan about fulfilling his dream of playing Bond's sandbox. "It would have to be the right situation and the right time in their cycle of things," Nolan mentioned to Empire last year, when they asked him their prescient what-if question. Nolan is busy with his space opus
Interstellar, set for a November 2014 release. Bond producers have been eyeing a 2015 release for any
Skyfall follow-up, so timing, a knockout script and Nolan's energy level after coming off of
Interstellar would all need to be carefully baked. One thing's for sure, it's one helluva rumor...
