EON and Amazon are pushing for Nolan and that he's on board, in principle. There are sticking points to be ironed out in terms of tone that might scuttle things though.
EON wants a full reboot/restart in the modern era with Nolan wanting to make adaptations of the Ian Fleming novels, in period settings, that stick close to the original source material. It's also unclear on what Amazon wants (apart from money).
The goal is to get Nolan to do 2-3 films (2 for sure) and then have him executive produce going forward. EON and Amazon are putting "all of their eggs in one basket" for Nolan due to the fact that he wants the job, he delivers critically and commercially successful films, and he's one of the few directors out there who can put butts in seats on his name alone.
Following the books closely, and setting the movie in the 50s would be cool as hell.
Wasn't that what Tarantino wanted to do when there were talks about him doing it?
During the interview, QT was asked both about his plans for Casino Royale and the future of the James Bond movies. On the latter point, he noted that many of the original movies only really took the title or characters from the original Ian Fleming novels, but "... for the most part, a lot of them, they never did the book. They never did the stories." Just as he planned to be faithful to Fleming's text for Casino Royale, Tarantino thinks "... think they should not remake the movies but actually just do the books, but do them the way they were written. And those would all be brand new.”
I guess this being so close to what QT has said, it smells a bit fishy.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
Ashamed to say it, but this looks more interesting than most Marvel projects I've seen... MUST RESIST. MADAME WEB SHOULD BE AN OLD LADY AND NOT BE A LEAD IN A MOVIE
, Melissa Barrera has "quietly" exited "Scream VII." Our sources also confirmed that Barrera's exit was not part of the original plan. While social media has lit up with fears that Barrera was fired due to pro-Palestinian posts, Variety (and our anonymous sources) have confirmed that her exit was not due to calling for a ceasefire, but for crossing the line into antisemitism, including, as Variety reported, "an antisemitic trope that Jews control the media. A rep for Spyglass declined to comment and Barrera did not respond to a request for comment

Read on variety that they are doing a "creative restart" with a new script. Wanting Neve back. Which I thought was already a given
