Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan could very well be making a move from Bruce Wayne to James Bond soon. At least, that’s what IMDb Pro recently revealed.
There is no doubt that the Bond franchise is at a crossroads. With studios entering into a bidding war over distribution rights and Daniel Craig’s return uncertain, it seems that Bond might be heading in a new direction.
The internet is ablaze with rumours that Christopher Nolan will be helming the upcoming James Bond film after IMDb Pro listed Syncopy as the production company on Bond 25.
Twitter user Bond25 was quick to announce that IMDb had confirmed the listing as accurate. However, not long after the listing was taken down again:
UPDATE: Production company SYNCOPY (co-founder: Nolan) has #Bond25 listed as one of their "In Development" projects.

It appears that the rumours about SYNCOPY are true. IMDb has confirmed that #Bond25 is correctly listed under Nolan's production company. pic.twitter.com/3vy5sqPoS6

For now, take this all with a grain of salt. However, this isn’t the first time Christopher Nolan’s name had been linked to a Bond film. He has been a fan favourite for quite some time and even Tom Hardy suggested that he would be a good for Bond.
Hell yes. I wanna see is take on Bond.
HELL YES…!!!!
But it has to be Chiwatel Ejiofor as 007!
110% behind this.
His brand of plot lines, for bond, would be phenomenal
Please have Henry Cavill be Bond, too!!
Very good news of course
That would be a Bond I will definitely watch!
please make this happen!!
So it’s gonna lack a definitive ending?
