One of the best parts about being a movie fan is that we can imagine fantasy casts for our favorite movie franchises. We can recast pretty much any movie in our imaginations and dream about what could have been.
One fan has compiled a nice trailer for a fictional James Bond film starring Michael Fassbender and directed by Christopher Nolan. While it relies heavily on footage from Nolan’s Batman films and INCEPTION, it does offer an intriguing glimpse at what his take on Bond may look like. Seeing as the Daniel Craig Bond films are directly influenced by the BATMAN BEGINS model of setting the fantastical in a realistic world, this works pretty damn well. With SKYFALL hooking a classy director like Sam Mendes, there is no arguing that Nolan could continue that trend by directing a future installment in the 007 mythos.
Plus, it shows Michael Fassbender would be a natural for a role such as this.
Starring an eclectic cast including Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Gary Oldman, and Leonardo DiCaprio, I give you Christopher Nolan’s JAMES BOND.
