In their review, The Playlist even went as far as to say that Nolan would never have to direct a Bond film, something he has previously express interest in doing, because Sam Mendes essentially made a Nolan-directed Bond film. As it turns out, that's kind of what Mendes was going for. He told The...

By Colin Greten The highly anticipated 23rd installment of the James Bond franchise, "Skyfall," does not premiere until November 9th; however, dedicated Bond fans have been rewarded with a new chart from The Economist providing statistics on who is the most Bond of the six actors who have played the iconic role.
