In July of 2023, he was quoted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/podtail.com\/en\/podcast\/happy-sad-confused\/christopher-nolan\/\"><em>Happy Sad Confused<\/em><\/a> podcast as saying: \u201cThe influence of [the James Bond] movies in my filmography is embarrassingly apparent\u2026And so there\u2019s no attempt to shy away from that. I love the films. You know, it would be an amazing privilege to do one. You wouldn\u2019t want to take on a film not fully committed to what you bring to the table creatively.

Broccoli is no longer calling the shots, so it appears that Nolan may ultimately achieve his goals under the Amazon\/MGM umbrella.<br \/><br \/>As another anonymous producer told<em> The Wrap<\/em>: \u201cIf Amazon wants to preserve the legacy, they should do everything possible to get Chris Nolan and wait for him as long as needed.\u201d<br \/><br \/>At the moment, Nolan is hard at work on a film version of <strong><em>The Odyssey, <\/em><\/strong><em>a <\/em>cinematic interpretation of the ancient Greek epic\u00a0 that is slated for release in July of 2026. The director prefers to concentrate on one project at a time, so it\u2019s unlikely that a deal will be soon be made about any Bond film.<br \/><br \/>Nolan&#8217;s films have earned over $6.6 billion worldwide, making him the seventh-highest-grossing film director.
