That being said, if they go period piece let's start with Moonraker novel!
Similarly, no director is bigger than Bond.
EoN hand they keys over, and they have lost complete control. If another Boyle situation happens, would they fire Nolan? He’d be the literal fox in the henhouse if that is the approach EoN are willing to sign up for.
Exactly.
Faithful MR by Nolan would be a killer. What a movie that would be, depending on who they cast as Bond. But I do trust Nolan in that department.
I'd like that. I would think that he would want to write his own screenplay as much as possible.
He probably already has a few, written with his brother when they were younger.
Whether it is a period piece setting as a one off movie, or a faithful adaptation of unused Fleming meshed into one/two movies for a modern day setting (MR, DAF, TSWLM, YOLT,TMWTGG), what's not to like with this new rumour.
This is the best news I have heard as a Bond fan in years!!
I agree. Even though I believe it to be a rumour, and only that. The thing is, if they did set it in the past, I think it should be the 50s, in post war Britain, as a one off or two from Nolan.
My preference would be of films set in the present, directed by Nolan of course.
But you are absolutely right. Just to hear something about Bond is wonderful, specially when its this exciting.
If it does turn up to be true, we'll be the two happiest fans in the forums, I tell ya that, my friend.

They go on to say that his "next project can be – well – whatever he wants. Would he really tie himself to a franchise at this point in his career? It’s unlikely."
We know for a fact that he is very open to the idea of directing Bond 26 if the conditions are right. It's very difficult to take anyone seriously who is still repeating the line "Would he really tie himself to a franchise at this point in his career?"
It goes both ways though - a director like him could make demands/conditions other lesser known directors wouldn’t, and similarity EON could easily say no to these conditions if they don’t see this approach as the right fit. In that sense no, he doesn’t need to be tied to a franchise, and EON don’t need to be tied to a single director. Often with these choices it’s about who works best with the producers and who can bring the film they want to life, not who the most high profile director is.
I'm taking that with a pinch of salt too, just like I am taking a pinch of salt regarding Nolan is in fact doing 2 Bond films.
I won't believe anything until we get an official announcement from EON.
Nolan should stick to his exposition heavy “important films”….
