For James Bond fans, one of the dream director choices for nearly 20 years has been Christopher Nolan.
The acclaimed director has helmed some of the biggest movies of the century including the Dark Knight series, Inception, Interstellar and Oppenheimer.
He has long been linked with potentially helming a Bond movie, and it appears he would consider working on that franchise if the circumstances were right.

"The influence of those movies in my filmography is embarrassingly apparent. It would be an amazing privilege to do one,” Nolan said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
"At the same time, when you take on a character like that you’re working with a particular set of constraints.
"It has to be the right moment in your creative life where you can express what you want to express and really burrow into something within the appropriate constraints because you would never want to take on something like that and do it wrong."
Nolan is currently promoting Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy in the title role. It tells the story of the birth of the atomic bomb via The Manhattan Project.
Oppenheimer is a stunning achievement
Kai Bird, the co-author of the novel 'American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer' gave Oppenheimer a glowing review after seeing an early screening.
“I am, at the moment, stunned and emotionally recovering from having seen it,” said in a conversation with David Nirenberg at Leon Levy Center for Biography in New York.
“I think it is going to be a stunning artistic achievement, and I have hopes it will actually stimulate a national, even global conversation about the issues that Oppenheimer was desperate to speak out about — about how to live in the atomic age, how to live with the bomb and about McCarthyism — what it means to be a patriot, and what is the role for a scientist in a society drenched with technology and science, to speak out about public issues.”
