>not that good
He was NEVER good to begin with. He's a fricking egotistical ki(wi)ke who surrounds himself with constant yes men & gets high off the smell of his own farts, thinking the shit he pulls out of his ass quantifies as actual """art""" whenever he's given the role of director/writer; completely full of himself. He also has a creepy vibe to him. I'm predicting a future cancellation once he hard drive gets exposed & Hollywood needs to lay off another sacrificial lamb to stave off suspicion.
He needs to be castrated posthaste.
That's what it was and that's why I don't want the patient zero to show up. The last movie even had Zimmer (or Zimmer's students who did the job for him) which resulted in single worst JB soundtrack ever. Nothing but fricking temp music and maybe once or twice stuff he stole from Barry that normies will think he composed.
Pretty sure Bond is the only franchise film he'd want to make nowadays. Star Wars has like zero prestige left, I doubt he'd be interested in making one
Yes. Please keep this bland motherfricker away from Bond.
Would MGM/Brocolli give him full control?

>“You wouldn’t want to take on a film without being fully committed to what you bring to the table creatively. So as a writer, casting, everything – it’s a full package. You’d have to be really needed and wanted in terms of bringing the totality of what you bring to a character. Otherwise, I’m pleased to be first in line to see whatever they do.”
Nolan loves Star Wars, it's literally one of his main inspirations for becoming a filmmaker. He probably knows that the suits wouldn't give him full control on it, but audiences would certainly eat it up if he were to make one just cause it would have his name on it
Yes but for as much shit Cinemaphile gives Nolan he's not a complete hack and seems to know that it's best to use the films you love for inspiration on original projects and not just try to remake them like JJ Abrams does.
True but imagine if he saw the opportunity to be the guy who "saved" Star Wars from the Disney goy-slop it has been becoming. If he did save the franchise he'd be revered even more than he is now.
If they let him have total creative control to make whatever Star Wars story he wanted I bet he'd jump at the opportunity.
Though I kind of agree it would be better for him to stick with original/non-franchise stuff.
It never worked. The Star Wars prequels were carried in equal parts by nostalgia and massive advertising. (Same thing TFA and Rogue One were carried by.)
Sadly, that way it became part of the cultural climate certain people grew up in, and now those people fail to properly reflect on their own nostalgia, thinking the it was genuinely good.

The prequels weren't good, but from a technical spectacle for the time, world building, and set pieces they blow the marvel slop out of the water. I once tried watching a marvel film for a second time and had to turn it off because the pacing entirely relies on the audience being surprised by quips and jokes and everything outside the first Iron Man is completely unwatchable garbage on a second view.
You're not very good at grasping context, are you? Reminder that this is a thread about the director in question potentially making a Star Wars film, and George Lucas himself created Star Wars.
Nolan's Batman trash was the very first capeshit that got widely "accepted" by normalgays, and thanks to Heath Ledger generously offing himself, it even got critical acclaim and awards.
>Batman 89 was massive.
No, it wasn't. Not outside your autistic circle.
Besides, it was basically just Tim Burton being Tim Burton, not particularly capeshitty in the contemporary sense.

Sure, capeshitter, sure.
Because me outright calling Nolan a hack in my very first post in here sure means that I find his particular capeshit "deep". Sure.
I guess this is what regular capeshit consumption does to your brain.
Legit fricking moron. Just 5 seconds on google would clue you in. Even if you don't want to go back to Superman or think X-Men and 89 Batman were too niche somehow, you had Spider-Man prior to Dark gay.
>muh box office >muh critical reception >muh complete acceptance by every normie on the planet
What are you basing your assertion on? Your statement is completely wrong by every single metric, I can think of.

Are you pretending that critics liked that trash? Really?
nah this homie will make andor look like jodorowsky's dune and lucas' dialogues sound like shakespeare in comparison. prepare to see chicagoruscant and stormtroopers flying helicopters (because antigrav is childish and unrealistic)
He's a good filmmaker (mostly) but he's done nothing to make me think he'd be a good fit for Star Wars, much less someone who could save it from what it's become.
>much less someone who could save it from what it's become.
I don't think any director could do that now. The whole series needs a reboot to fix the damage.
There's nothing Nolan could do with the Bond franchise that wouldn't just be a repeat of the Daniel Craig reboots. Tarrantino at least would do something unique.
The truth is most of these gen X directors grew up on star wars and would love to make something in that universe, but Kat Kennedy chooses Taika Watiti and JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson over directors who owe their career to it like Fincher or Joe Dante simply because those are the guys she likes better. So that's probably the real reason Chris Nolan's declining to comment. I doubt Kennedy would hire him, I bet she's trying to get Gerwig though.
You can shit on Nolan all you want but he at least has the integrity to use cgi sparingly which that alone basically disqualifies him from making any Disney movie
He wouldn’t lower himself to that
>inb4 but he did Batman
but he did Batman
Batman is on a higher tier than Star Wars
>He doesn't know about Bob Kane.
Kane?
>Bob Kane
>Bo Kane
>B ane
>Bane
Not even Post-Nolan is Batman on a higher tier than directing a mainline Star Wars film. Before him Batman was a fricking joke
He did Dark Knight Rises
It's too late plus he's not that good of a filmmaker.
Still much better than typical disney capeshit and capeshit adjacent movies like star wars.

Wat? The dude's British. Not New Zealand.
!!!!!!!
Yes. Please keep this bland motherfricker away from Bond.
We already got 2 bond films from Sam Mendes who's basically Nolan-lite at this point
That's what it was and that's why I don't want the patient zero to show up. The last movie even had Zimmer (or Zimmer's students who did the job for him) which resulted in single worst JB soundtrack ever.

He should not only direct the next Bond film but also star in it. Would be kino

You're underestimating how many filmmakers grew up absolutely obsessed with Star Wars and have convinced themselves "I could do it right"
Star Wars inspired him to become a filmmaker
True but imagine if he saw the opportunity to be the guy who "saved" Star Wars from the Disney goy-slop it has been becoming. If he did save the franchise he'd be revered even more than he is now.

Though I kind of agree it would be better for him to stick with original/non-franchise stuff.
but he doesn't know human emotions/natural dialogue?
>but he doesn't know human emotions/natural dialogue?
Neither does George Lucas, and prequel fanboys love him for it.
Would it work for mainstream audiences now or it will become more of a cult classic?
It never worked. The Star Wars prequels were carried in equal parts by nostalgia and massive advertising. (Same thing TFA and Rogue One were carried by.)

>Star Wars fanboys now outright ask for not only for a capeshit director, but the fricking hack who made capeshit mainstream
Full circle, I guess?
>but the fricking hack who made capeshit mainstream
Bullshit
Nolan's Batman trash was the very first capeshit that got widely "accepted" by normalgays, and thanks to Heath Ledger generously offing himself, it even got critical acclaim and awards.
Are you moronic or just a zoomer? Batman 89 was massive. Superman before that was just as big.
>Batman 89 was massive.
No, it wasn't. Not outside your autistic circle.
Besides, it was basically just Tim Burton being Tim Burton, not particularly capeshitty in the contemporary sense.
It was massive you fricktard zoomer.
Tell me, anon, are you or are you not a comic book nerd?
I dunno are you a rootless cosmopolitan?
So that's a resounding yes.
Keep on being a malignant sow.
You don't have to be a comic book nerd to acknowledge the objective truth that Batman was the biggest movie of 1989.
Just stop posting you complete cretin.
>No, it wasn't. Not outside your autistic circle
Both Burton Batman movies were the highest grossing movies of their respective years
Spider-Man and X-Men were huge, and Spider-Man 2 came before Batman Begins.
>Spider-Man and X-Men were huge
Kek.
Zoomer
Capeshitter.
have a nice day, moron. You were wrong.
And you are a capeshitter.

Capeshit was mainstream long before Nolan
Is asking directors if they're gonna direct Star Wars or Marvel all there is to film journalism now?
>Saves Star Wars.
Like him or not, it is probably the only chance there will ever be of saving the franchise in the foreseeable future.
A marriage made in hell. I don't think even Disney are that stupid.
Memento 2 starring Minch Yoda
I'm sure Gareth Edwards already warned him what a train wreck it is to work with current LF.
Edwards can frick off, he got turbocucked by Tony Gilroy
Is that you, Kathleen?
nah this homie will make andor look like jodorowsky's dune and lucas' dialogues sound like shakespeare in comparison. prepare to see chicagoruscant and stormtroopers flying helicopters (because antigrav is childish and unrealistic)
He'll make the Force into nanobots & every character will spew their personal philosophy unprompted.
Cool, I’m down.
Nolan is a hack, he's made one good movie and it's not even batman
He's a good filmmaker (mostly) but he's done nothing to make me think he'd be a good fit for Star Wars, much less someone who could save it from what it's become.
>much less someone who could save it from what it's become.
I don't think any director could do that now. The whole series needs a reboot to fix the damage.
>Tries to make BATMAN into literature.
Such hubris.
glad 007 saved for now
calls the opportunity to direct a Bond film an “amazing privilege,” acknowledging James Bond’s impact on his creative journey.
He's red green colour blind.
That's why all his films look drab.
There's nothing Nolan could do with the Bond franchise that wouldn't just be a repeat of the Daniel Craig reboots. Tarrantino at least would do something unique.
Considering the ''i am becum death'' scene from Oppenheimer it would probably look like this
The truth is most of these gen X directors grew up on star wars and would love to make something in that universe, but Kat Kennedy chooses Taika Watiti and JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson over directors who owe their career to it like Fincher or Joe Dante simply because those are the guys she likes better. So that's probably the real reason Chris Nolan's declining to comment. I doubt Kennedy would hire him, I bet she's trying to get Gerwig though.
Would be kino. Star Wars is at its best when it is darker in tone.
3 whole hours of a planet getting Base Delta Zeroed along with its xenos
We are so back
Sounds more like he just really didn't want to be asked such a moronic question
You can shit on Nolan all you want but he at least has the integrity to use cgi sparingly which that alone basically disqualifies him from making any Disney movie
>Nobody can hear you scream in space
>Especially in a Nolan movie
I don't want Star Wars to be saved. It should've died decades ago.
Andor already saved Star Wars
