Wow, I will definitely have to check it out then. Jurassic Park pretty much defined my entire childhood so I've always held an interest in dinosaurs. And anyone who can successfully combine James Bond and dinosaurs has my utmost respect.
Extremely ridiculous but fun as hell and one of the most entertaining Bond stories.
Wouldn't work now but at the time we didn't have any Bond films and none on the horizon.
1992 I think.
And yes @ClarkDevlin the dinosaurs take up only a panel or two. Much more time is spent on flying saucers and the vampires :D
Hammerhead from Dynamite has a lot of that same Serpent Tooth panache.
Lost sight of your response with all the dino chat, but...
To your first point, *sigh* didn't we all? A poster of Gogo adorned my freshman year dorm room.
To your second point, yes, it's positively fascinating how Tarantino can take two actors, put them in a room together, and light the scene on fire. His way with dialogue is one strength I hadn't brought up, but would indeed be a huge help to the future of Bond films. In addition to spectacular stunts and inventive action sequences (both of which have been absent for some time), we need compelling and creative dialogues to be performed by powerfully directed actors, and as you point out that is precisely what we could be assured of Tarantino bringing to the table.
Indeed. Which suggests we are moving even further from the topic of this thread, as @jake24 points out.
Apted: hear me out the world is not enough is really a great film that is often overlooked good amount of mystery good amount of Bond being awesome all around it is under appreciated and over looked
Forester: Quantum of Solace is much like The World is not Enough a good solid film that really never got the credit it deserves.
For new blood honestly I am sticking with the follow omg three names
Pierre Morrel: director of Taken , look if Bond 25 is going to be the "you killed my gf and I want to kill you" revenge plot I would rather it be in the hands of someone who knows how to make the concept work and not seem tired
Christopher Nolan: before everyone screams hear me out if he stays away from writing I think he could direct a pretty strong bond film.
Luc Besson: again the Proffesional does for the tired revenge plot in the 90's what Taken did for in the 2000's and honestly since Spectre sets up a Licence to Kill styled bond film I would argue I would rather have a director who knows how to make that plot work then one who would make it feel more tired then it already is.
Also until proven other wise all assumptions/wants for bond 25 are based on the idea it will be a continuation of Spectre and Bond will seek revenge for the death (likely in the pts) of Madeline Swann regardless of who plays Bond (this is also why lately I have been leaning more toward actors like Tom Hardy Michael Fassbender and a one off film from say Ewan Mcgreggor or Liam Neeson then more numerous bond actors like Hiddleston and Evans)
Like I said they can do whatever they want but until we get any news to the contrary in November I am making my thought process known
He'd be excellent and I'd love to see him back. Given he introduced us to Spectre (or is it Quantum? It's so confusing these days!....) I say give him another shot if Craig returns, but get him to send all the shaky cams back to Paul Greengrass before they start filming!
Completely on board with this. He does everything well, so I'm all for it. Just get someone else to cast the female characters, and insist that he not use any of his favourites, unless he wants Caine for M.
True...as far as the dinosaurs go. Tarantino, however, is at least related to director choices for Bond 25.
I'm fully onboard with Apted doing another Bond. The World Is Not Enough is an exceptional James Bond film in my book—second only to OHMSS and the perfect blend of drama, comedy, mystery, superb action, formula-shaking, formula-upholding, and a fine cast to boot, and yes that includes Denise Richards in her part as an outrageously hot nuclear physicist. Prior to Bond, Apted was perhaps best known for his outstanding Seven Up films. I would never have thought of him for Bond prior to TWINE, but he has clearly demonstrated his capacity to blend genre fun with his talent for capturing human drama on film.
Absolutely. Forster tackled an inherently troubled production with a ton of ambition and successfully—in my book—combined his arthouse sensibilities with the high-octane world of Bond. He also really and truly understood the character of Bond. For all its action, QoS shines in the quiet character moments—the villa and flight scenes with Mathis, saying goodbye to Camille, the final scene out in the snow with M. I really would love to see Forster have another go at Bond. I think he could do some outstanding things with a future entry.
I have never seen any of Morrel's films.
Maybe. Batman Begins is definitely one of my favorite action films of all time, but he grew progressively more self-parodic throughout his Dark Knight trilogy. No doubt he would make an impressive film trenched in his own Christopher Nolan style, but I feel like I already know exactly what we would get and the prospect doesn't have me anywhere near as excited as I would be by a Tarantino Bond film. Nolan would provide us a lot of moodiness and a lot of brooding and conversations made up of speeches brimming over with grand statements and ideas and admittedly very well-filmed but not-so-well-edited action sequences that appear impressive but still have rather cold and distancing effects on the audience. If he could go back to basics and produce a Bond film with the same kind of warmth, heart, and earnestness as Batman Begins, I'd be game. I'm just not sure that's the same Nolan we have anymore.
Besson's early work is impressive, absolutely—Le Dernier Combat, The Big Blue, Nikita, Leon. I wasn't much of a fan of The Fifth Element, but I appreciate its style and its boldness. The only other film of his I've seen is Angel-A, which was definitely a cool and artsy flick. Besson has potential. But I'll wait to see Valerian—and maybe take a glance at Lucy—before passing judgment on him for Bond.
The story might be a little bonkers, but I love Serpent's Tooth, easily my favourite illustrated depiction of Bond.
You'll never guess who is his foster brother?
;)
We need a Bond intro casino scene with this music
I still believe Babs & EON want Nolan or Mendes to helm the next one.
Still holding out hope for Campbell.
But...but...the more dramatic and artistic parts of the film are where Forster thrived I thought?
That's the thing, that would be perfect, but I think it has to be Bond 25 or he'll be too old. Also, if B25 happens in 2019 It would be the 25th anniversary of him being picked for Bond.
Not saying he couldn't do it, but right now the franchise needs some fresh energy to help rejuvenate it, and they wouldn't get that from Campbell.
It's up there with wanting Dalton with a real director and Brosnan with a real script... pipe dreams.
I don't quite agree with that. The last time a Bond was introduced without Martin at the helm was 1987. I don't think its quite so absurd to think that he could return again, but at the rate they are making films nowadays, it has to be Bond 25, which means Craig has to leave the role.
The idea that Campbell will return without a new actor to work with, now that really is farfetched. Just not his style.
