    Nolan is the more realistic choice. I'm really not sure about Spielberg. Amazon must have noticed...Spielberg is no longer the filmmaker he once was.

    Is that true though? Or is it just that Bridge of Spies isn't in the same league of material as Schindlers list.

    If it ain't on the page it ain't on the stage, but I wouldn't be questioning his talents as a director. With a stellar script I'm sure he could knock Bond 27 out of the park, and he's always wanted to make a Bond film.

    Yeah. But we don't even know if he's still interested, for a start...before even looking at his current credentials. I think Nolan looks more like the one after Villeneuve.

    I don't't know if that matches up timeline wise. Maybe if Nolan took a year off after The Odyssey, and came back with Bond in 2030.

    No, he used to want to direct a Bond film, all the way back before Raiders. He’s shown no interest in directing one since then. Also, that Spielberg “might need a franchise film to bail himself out after a string of not so successful movies” just seems a crazy idea for one of the world’s most successful film-makers at such a late stage in his career. He must be absolutely loaded now and near thinking of retirement, he doesn’t ’need’ to do anything.

    Considering his penchant for sentiment, I’m not sure Bond is a good fit for him anyway.

    Spielberg is outdated. Sure, he could do a halfway decent job, but I don't think he'd be good enough to reinvent Bond.
