Next James Bond – Christopher Nolan ‘in very serious talks’ but one major issue | Films | Entertainment

According to World of Reel’s sources, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is “zeroing in on Nolan.”

The outlet reports that the director has been in talks with EON Productions.

However, they pointed out that further discussions have been delayed due to the ongoing Hollywood actors and writers strike, plus his recent promotion of Oppenheimer.

No doubt fans will be excited by the deal being negotiated for two Bond movies, but there’s one major issue.

The outlet points out that Nolan would want a lot of creative freedom for his Bond vision, while Broccoli “rarely gives carte blanche to her filmmakers”.

Nevertheless, a deal could still be struck and the producers’ backups are rumoured to be Danny Boyle, Denis Villeneuve and Paul Greengrass.

EON Productions usually like to nail down what the Bond reboot will be like in tone, with the script and director, before auditioning an actor to fit that.

And given rumours of Aaron Taylor-Johnson “impressing” Broccoli” and the fact he starred in Nolan’s Tenet, we wouldn’t be surprised if he would be in high contention to be cast as the new 007.
