Barabra Broccoli will be producing the film and is said to have her sights set on Christopher Nolan to direct. Nolan told Playboy, "I've spoken to the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson over the years. I deeply love the character, and I'm always excited to see what they do with it. Maybe one day that would work out. You'd have to be needed, if you know what I mean. It has to need reinvention; it has to need you. And they're getting along very well."
Broccoli is also reportedly trying to get Adele to come back for the soundtrack. Adele's "Skyfall" won the franchise its first Oscar.
"Skyfall" earned over $1.1 billion at the box office.
