There did nothing with that money/weapen, water story and painting set up and it time to finish that. We know lechieve makes money, trust be inportent and have people every where. There hinting to real story, but not show it. In Spectre we get a bit of show/finaly a bit with the new bulding (read: copy!) in Marocco. That's the only like of return of DB5, how easy it be to make copy or two (Three in total!).
Exactly. Kill him and bury him just about as deep as the Titanic, let him rest for at least one decade and hope the audience forget about the SP catastrophe with its neurotic step brother claiming to be Blofeld.
Now that I would love to see..there is so much good material in John Gardner's Bond novels....Bond films just waiting to happen.
Would EON have to buy the rights to those stories in order to use them (or segments of the stories)?
So I think they would be willing to deal with EON for John's books to be filmed.
Good point re Wishaw,i agree with that,and Moneypenny is becoming pretty superfluous and pointless indeed.
They need to reduce her back and give her the same screen time as Lois and Samantha had,then you notice them more not less.
Yeah I thought that was a really interesting angle for a villain, it just isn't Blofeld at all. I'd love to see that idea.
Can he have a pet hawk too? Seems random but Renard had one in early drafts of TWINE that gouged out the eyes of his enemies and henchman who disappointed him and I'm honestly shocked that the idea never found its way into another film. Seems like a cool gimmick.
Agreed. They're really not much more than bit parts, but they help to flesh out MI6, and the way Bond interacts with each of them gives us incite into him as a character, before the mission gets going.
Same really. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be annoyed if Fiennes and Harris stayed on, but I can't say I really care either way. Harris is a brilliant actress but I've never been a fan of her in the role. Fiennes is very, very good, loved his "licence not to kill" speech, but I don't think it'd be the end of the world if they recast.
In fact if the Craig era does end up being its own self contained thing like Nolan's Batman (definitely think that's what they tried to do with SP, give the era a clear ending) it might be good if they recast those two so it's clear that the next guy is a reboot and it isn't too confusing to the general audience. Wishaw should stay no matter what though.
Indeed. I'd say they should only appear each for about 3 minutes in B25.
Moneypenny just prior to what used to be a traditional scene in which 007 is briefed what his next assignment will be. Tanner can appear in the office in that scene with M. On second thought, let's ditch Tanner and have the Ministry of Defence present for Bond's briefing instead.
Tanner, however, can GTFO.
And other than Fiennes, and maybe Naomie Harris, I do hope we lose the rest of the "scooby gang".
I mean, what about Keeley Hawes as Moneypenny? Seriously, she's born to play that part.
As for Q, there are several suggestions more convenient than Whishaw will ever be. Ian MacShane for example would be a perfect Major Boothroyd, and damn he's charismatic. Why not go down that route?
Don't care about Tanner whether he exists or doesn't. I only liked Michael Kitchen's Tanner, anyway, and James Villiers to an extent who would have been a better M than Tanner.
Gentlemen please! Reading this is bordering on erotic fiction; I'm feeling a semi coming on.
I agree. The three work well together and complement Craig.
Tanner should be taken out back and shot.
I'm nearly hitting the vinegar strokes now!!
Convenient as in too old for recurring role in an endless franchise.
Heck, there's even Hugh Laurie if you want. But, that's also very expensive. There's the latest Doctor Who actor, Peter Capaldi, who's leaving that franchise soon. Somebody who looks and sounds like Q, not a cynical geeky computer nerd. That's also why I don't want Simon Pegg in the role.
I would ask you all at this point to stick to the guidelines set out for use of this site, and also to keep on topic.
Yes, the authors would get paid. However, the payment would be tiny compared with the cost of the "car drive" and "world's biggest explosion in a motion picture" in SPECTRE.
Why would it be tiny? Because there's no other market. Eon has a monopoly on making James Bond films. It's not like there will be a bidding war.
Also, they apparently paid something to Kingsley Amis' estate given the "special thanks" credit in the SPECTRE end titles. They've opened the door to further use of continuation novels. Whether they take of advantage of it remains to be seen.
