Why Bond 24 Needs Christopher Nolan As Its Director

Let me start by saying this: I loved Skyfall. I thought it was a brilliant film, and certainly one of the finest Bond films of all time. That was due in no small part to the phenomenal job Sam Mendes did directing it. So, that being said, I have absolutely no problem with Mendes as the director, but I don't think he'll be back for Bond 24.

It’d Be Financially Brilliant

There are few people in the world who aren’t either a Bond fan or a Nolan fan. Granted, the majority of those fans likely overlap into both camps, but who wouldn’t rush to theaters to see those two powerhouses merge?

Traditionally, Bond films have avoided bringing in the highest profile, and therefore highest paid, directors. Right now Nolan is as high profile as them come, but that is part of why it would be so smart for the Bond franchise to bring the director on board. It isn’t as if these movies have ever had a lack of fans or a lack of profits, so why not pay top dollar for a top notch director like Nolan? He is certainly going to make it worth your money and more in the dividends of people seeing the film just for his name alone. The producers have already said they think it would be a dream to bring on Nolan, so it isn’t as if they’re running from his high-profile status.

Skyfall has been a giant success at the box office, proving that the market is as hot for Bond films as ever. Nolan has had 2 films break the $1 billion mark, and Inception wasn’t far off. Putting those two together would more than justify the top dollar that Nolan would likely command.
