INCEPTION was basically his Bond tribute.

Lol, what James Bond movies are y'all watching?   Cause Inception sure didn't feel like any one I've ever seen!

There was a lot of Bond stuff in it. Just a much more unique and interesting concept overall than "yet another James Bond movie." Not that there's anything wrong with the Bond franchise, mind you. I love the movies. But you pretty much know what you're getting when you walk into one of those movies.

An extended action scene ... constitutes one of the picture's "dream layers."  This "layer" features enemy agents chasing our heroes through snow capped mountains on snowmobiles while trying to protect a '70s to '80s-esque cement secret headquarters.  If that sounds a little James Bond to you, Nolan doesn't disagree.  

 

During a press conference for "Inception" this morning, HitFix asked Nolan if filming this portion of the film's "dream" in this style helped get the urge to shoot a James Bond film out of his system.  Nolan laughed and replied, "Quite a bit of it yeah."

Some of the cool gadgets are about the only Bond-esque thing I can think of in Inception. The characters and plot weren't Bond at all.

The globetrotting and espionage was definitely Bond-ish. Just amped up times ten with the dream layers, ha.

I guess you mean more just some of the action scenes then? Maybe, but the movie as a whole doesn't feel like a Bond movie at all to me. If Nolan did Bond I think it would be a lot different than Inception. All of Nolan's action is similar in style, so we know what to expect there.

Sure. Nolan just meant the action scenes, taken alone (outside of the dream layers). The assault on the mountain fortress is basically right out of a Bond movie.

2015 has 6 "1 billion" movies locked?

 

SW7

TA2

Bond 24

HG: MJ2

Pirates 5

FINDING DORY

 

[Plain Old Tele]

I wouldn't call POTC5 or FD locked for $1b at all.

[John Marston]

Mockinjay isn't locked either. Hell even Bond isn't necessarily locked as well since the Bond series has always had its ups and downs

[zackzack]

One could dream, couldn't he?

[Hatebox]

After Skyfall I don't feel the urge to see a Nolan Bond movie, we've already had it.

 

Still, he will have just done Interstellar so perhaps his career trajectory is now 'big franchise>big original>big franchise>big original>etc'.

 

I still hold out hope he'll some day make his low budget black comedy masterpiece. I'm sure he has it in him.

[CoolioD1]

INCEPTION was basically his Bond tribute.

SKYFALL was their Nolan tribute.

[The Futurist]

 

Nolan favorite's Bond and yes Inception is his Bond film, he said it a  lot of times in interviews : the travelling, the ending scene in the mountains, the lare, etc

[A Marvel Fanboy]

It happens

[Omario]

i see him directing bond 25 rather than the next one. Will be too long a wait to get another one out. not sure if they would want to wait that long when they earned 1bill+

[reddevil18]

A Nolan-directed Bond following the billion-dollar Skyfall would be Eon's wet dream. But I doubt it'll happen this time around. I'm sure he'll eventually do it, but not right now.

[Crusader]

Skyfall IMO was pretty great and there's also that maybe the next director ( whoever that might be ) will have a tough job following 

 

That's why these more high profile directors are reluctant to take on the next Bond
