"Code Number 007" would be a better title imo...
Bad mental image 🤣😑
Hm?
She isn t my type either, so Bond can bed her as much as he likes.
By that logic I guess now I know why Silva didn't go all the way with his flirtations and bed Bond in Skyfall because Javier Bardem simply isn't my type... Christ. Despite the depths of the forums, such shallow pools. I'm sure Lashana will do an admirable job performing the role in which she was likely cast due to her abilities as an actress , whether her character hooks up with Bond or not, or whether she is people's "type" or not.
Very relevant to modern times.
I just want something truly threatening plot that destroys the world again.
@HalfOfEverything Bond isn't gay.
I, for one, think Bond should stay away from 'tech' plotlines for a while. It's hard to make them compelling.

Whatever it is, it has to be visceral, tangible . . . real. We've had a lot of plots lately based on people clacking keys and staring at screens and doing . . . things with computers with vague powers and unknown limits.
Bring it back into the real!

MGM Studios is sharpening its focus on licensing, particularly via location-based entertainment and video and mobile games.
The licensing program, with Brandgenuity continuing as its agency, initially will be built around James Bond, Legally Blonde, Robocop, The Addams Family, Rocky and Pink Panther as well as the TV reality shows “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader” (slated for release on June 10 on Nickelodeon) and “Eco-Challenge” (2020 on Amazon Prime Video), says Robert Marick, a former Discovery executive who joined MGM in February as Executive VP for Consumer Products and Experiences.
“MGM evaluated its past approach to licensing and realized it had under-developed not only its classic films, but also that there are new opportunities for building out programs across the board,” says Marick. “MGM is going to take a much more strategic franchise approach to how it licenses in the future.”
I don't even know the last time I owned one. I do own a Goldeneye Nintendo 64 special!!!! Just hardly have time to consistently play it.
I have a (regular) N64 as well. It's probably the console I'm most fond of owning. Don't have many games for it though, unfortunately.
Yes get that merchandise pumping and video games please make Bond great again 😎😎😎😂🤣🤣
If you read the entire article, you realize that they have no definite strategy so far regarding a Bond video game. It's just a catalog-wide deal over merchandising in the gaming industry that starts with a select number of franchises. Expect at least a bunch of free-to-play mobile games where they just change the visuals and a few minor elements to get either a James Bond or a Robocop version. Or some slot machines.
If they had a clear idea of what a James Bond video game should have, it would have resulted in a specific deal, not something that also involves "Are You Smarter than a Fifth-Grader?" It's basically the equivalent of a PowerPoint presentation where an executive explained that VG licensing could bring MGM a few dozens millions annually for almost zero cost. The program has been okayed, and that's it all.

I've said it before, and I'll said it again: EON should use some of the boatload of cash made across the last 2 films to commission a top-tier studio to take a crack at making a game. A big-budget, 3rd-person, cinematic adventure with great setpieces, characters, and production design along the lines of Uncharted. Get us immersed in everything from the clothing and cars to the exotic locations.
If you take an honest crack at doing this and it fails, so be it - no more video game Bond. But that would be far better than carrying on with halfhearted stuff.
Yeah, I guessed this probably was the case without reading through the article. We're most likely far away from getting an actual, proper video game. At least with a new Bond film on the way, it might be a slim chance a video game will be a possibility some time in the future.
Agreed very much with most of this. However it does not necessarily require a top tier studio, just someone that is grateful for the opportunity and determined to make the best of it rather than take the generic-games-for-the-sake-of-it approach that most big studios that have produced bond games have eventually fell into previously. In fact the more I think about it, the more giving the franchise to a smaller but more dedicated studio - like Rare back in the day - may well go down a treat as they'll have everything to prove rather than just cash in.
@007Blofeld aware of that fact my dear man, regrettably a British sense of being sardonic isn't often picked up in text.
