Filmmaker Christopher Nolan has debunked rumours stating that he was next in line to direct James Bond.

"I won't be the man to direct the next Bond. No, categorically," says Nolan.

But he would love to helm a Bond film at some point.

"I think every time they hire a new director I'm rumoured to be doing it. I'd love to make a Bond film at some point and I think those producers - Barbara and Michael (Broccoli and G Wilson) - do a tremendous job and Sam Mendes has done a terrific job the last couple of films, so they don't particularly need me," he adds. 

"But I've always been inspired by the films and would love to do one someday," he concludes.
