DN: "Your Baretta jammed on your last job."
OHMSS: "Blofeld's something of a 'must 'with me."
LALD: "I rather liked Baines." Or "Mrs. Bond?"
TLD: "If he fires me, I'll thank him for it."
GE: "You were supposed to die for me."
CR is the only one that doesn't.
Technically you could make the argument that CR’s “backstory” was Bond’s assassination of both double agents in the pre-title sequence, and Vesper makes a reference to his SAS days during the train scene.
I do agree with the overall sentiment that another Bond origin story isn’t needed for the next actor.
Those are pretty loose in the sense that those events are only related to the film in terms of character rather than plot, though.
I'm with you guys. How could I not be since I posted this very same suggestion a few hours ago.
I think there are a lot of ideas in Forever and a Day are great for EON to mine, I’d prefer that EON adapt the whole novel, with a modern day setting, like CR. That would be a great place for EON to start for the next James Bond actor.
These would be good for follow ups for a trilogy.
The same could be said of the examples cited from DN, LALD, and TLD. Certainly there nice bits of info about Bond even if they don’t go deep. Only OHMSS and GE’s examples are rooted in plot. I think a backstory is alright for the next actor, but I don’t want the series to try to go even younger with the next actor and give us Bond in the SAS or something in service of some arc where he becomes 007 at the end.
Who's agree with this?
If you asked me, I'm not really on board with this idea, because if you're doing it, it would be an another serialized set of films, similar to the Craig Era. I don't know it's just me, you guys? What's your opinion regarding this?
1. I'm longing for a standalone films, a floating timeline, there's still a continuity but similar to the classic era where there's only references and callbacks, just to avoid that codename theory thing.
2. And if they're making a set of standalone films again, they can't make a film about his Royal Naval early years, then suddenly shift to where he's already an MI6 agent on a mission, that 'Bond in his Royal Naval Years' would look out of place.
If you're going to make it, it should be serialized, it needs to have an arc.
But again, I want a standalone set of films again.
3. And Another point I would like to share regarding this was I want a back to basics missions again, just have him at M's office, having a mission briefing, been given a mission and beat the villains and have the Bond girl at the end.
4. And I think focusing on his Naval background would be boring in my opinion.

I know that he could be difficult to work with, but not in this way.
What?! I'm not sure if that came from reliable sources, because I only trust a very few sites, that can bring me some reliable and real news.
I will check it out too.
If proven true, that's sad, not a fan of NTTD, but I think it should not end on this, I think he's a nice guy, he donated some in Ukraine.
Thanks @MaxCasino
True. 👍
If true, how ironic. This was the guy that didn't want too much of the old sexist Bond, and who accused Connery's Bond of being a rapist.
Let's wait to see if this story gets confirmed with other outlets, because it could be just BS.
Fukunaga is in East Ukraine since over a month, bringing humanitarian goods for people, in a country at war. He’s doing alone for Ukrainians more than all Bond fans, previous Bond directors and actors combined. As far as I’m concerned that’s a brave good man we are speaking of and now his career should be over because he *maybe* tried to have a threesome with two 18+ years old sisters, ages ago?
We're still not sure if this is real or not.
Agreed with @Benjamin_Weekly69
I've checked google, but that issue isn't still around yet.
Par the course for Hollywood types. Every single director and producer implicated in metoo was a self-described feminist. Feminism is a predatory tactic that they use to lure vulnerable women in to abuse them.
Sounds to me like they'd be better off casting him as the next James Bond!
It wouldn't be the first time a man has used feminism to hide behind, nor would it be the first time that a woman would lie.
I do think the allegations are worth their own thread, to keep the rest of the site clear of what will likely be months if not years of discussion.
Why? It’s not like they’re still working with him now.
That put a smile on my face and yes, I bet you’re right. XD
I didn't catch your post. Clearly, lots of Bond fans have similar opinions.
