I'd be all in for a Bond or two from Nolan, especially if it were done period, as right now I'd be happy to see Bond take leave from contemporary, at least till the world rights itself or finishes its descent into Hell.
The only problem I see is whether Nolan would actually cut it like a Bond film or score it like a Bond film (technically the Bond people haven't even been scoring them like Bond films for awhile, which is one of many reasons I hate pretty much all of Bond in century 21 except a couple short stretches in QUANTUM.) BATMAN BEGINS had some action staging problems and overcutting to compensate, but he seemed to get better as he went along in that trilogy, at least as far as viewable action.
Plus, I've got about a quarter of a period Bond script already written, with a magnificent PTS and several tie-ins to unused Fleming material. Technically it is set in the 70s/80s (my alternate dream is MOONRAKER done wholly period in the 50s), though by swapping out a few gadgets -- aerial mines becoming smart targeting drones, that kind of thing -- and dumping Germany for 'a country to be named later' it could go contemporary. Trying to get a new agent for my formation of ILM script and then am gearing up bigtime for a new try at the screenwriting biz.
