I think you are vastly overestimating how much anyone at EON cares about anything to do with Mission Impossible. Vice versa I think its a different story though...
The only thing we know about Bond 25 is that Craig will return.
It will be produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli :)
Me neither. Ritchie is over the top in a different way.
I can't see Craig wanting to work with Ritchie but perhaps for a future film, with a new Bond, it might work well. No flash backs though please. Although the article says Ritchie and Craig are friends, so who knows.
One of the bits I loved in Uncle was the Royal Navy commando assault towards the end. I'd love something like that in a Bond movie. Bond arriving by night in a WW2 style hit and run commando raid - blacked up, beret, light machine gun. Lots of 'Commander Bond'. It would be Bond escaping all the angst, reconnecting with his military past and just getting stuck in. Brilliant.
I agree with you. I think a lot of that cooperation between Bond and the military has really been lost since a while ago. Maybe the thought of needing the help of others may look "un-cool" to some audiences?. I think that it's a wonderful thing to see him working at the same level as some elite units. The combined assault in "The Spy Who Loved Me" is a great example of this.
I used to live it when Bond teamed up with some local allies. Like the Japanese secret service and the ninjas in YOLT.
I suppose the last time this was done was the Mujahadeen in TLD so you can understand their reluctance to do it again for a while.
But it would be great for Bond to have a bit of Royal Navy back up.
Ouch, haha. If that was indeed the last time then well it's...unfortunate. I think the CIA was helping Bond in Goldeneye and Die Another Day but I believe we didn't see any combined assaults, Bond did all the heavy lifting.
He can't make a worse job than William Shatner.. ;)
Mathis is the best of the recent 'allies'.
I'd like to see Bond in a combat situation with a team though. The end of FYEO is good, where they mount the assault on the monastery with Columbo's guys.
I liked the GE finale......Bond and girl against the entire lot of bad guys. That's the best ending I've seen in the last 20 yrs.
I always thought QOS would have benefited from a bit of that. When Bond discovers the underground dam, it should have been a hive of construction activity (a la AVTAK) with boiler-suited goons and big earth moving trucks everywhere. Cue a finale that includes some dam-busting and a few drowning goons.
Lol LTK the whole movie was Bond & Pam vs all the world.
True. LTK is not one of my favourites though. Although it sort of makes sense in terms of the plot.
I really like Craig's Mathis and Leiter as well. I wish they could portray them more as a team in future movies. One of the things I love about the Casino Royale novel is how well they work together. Leiter has also been pretty good, his biggest part so far was in QoS where I think he did a solid job.
+1
I wouldn't want Ritchie's gimmicky visuals and leaden screenwriting 'skills' anywhere near Bond thank you very much.
Add me to this list chaps.
I agree, but think that Martin Campbell would have made a more watchable, better paced film.
