[RUMOR] Christopher Nolan approached for Bond 24

Daily Mail has reported that initial talks and offers have happened between Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson and Christopher Nolan, the director of The Dark Knight trilogy. The producers initially tried to bring Sam Mendes back to direct Bond 24, but he declined the project. The original plan was to have Bond 24 released within three years of Skyfall, so that will put Bond 24 by (at least) 2015. The clock is ticking so they need to at least find a director.

However, Christopher Nolan has already committed to Interstellar which is slated for release on November 7, 2014. Given that commitment it is truly unlikely Nolan will be able to direct Bond 24. At least not to make a 2015 deadline. If there are talks that are happening between Nolan and the Bond producers it is most likely not for Bond 24, but for a future Bond project.
