A Bond Movie Maybe

A number of fans think that this time, it’s going to be a Bond movie with a Nolan touch in it. The director has always expressed his fascination and desire to wield the camera for a Bond film and has often spoken in favor of the Bond franchise. It remains to be seen whether the world gets a 007 flick or not. Only time will tell.

Ludwig Goransson, in all likelihood, will be composing the score. He will be replacing Hans Zimmer, who has collaborated with Nolan a number of times before. Editing will probably be taken care of by Jennifer Lame who will step in as a substitute of Lee Smith, the director’s long-time editor. Reports suggest that principal photography for Tenet is already underway and will take place in Italy, the United Kingdom, Estonia, and India.
