Furthermore, the mole -- as in Goldmember, would be working in the eeeevil organization of which the leader REALLY is the British secret agent's brother !
Shall we have Bond follow Blofeld up a ladder while Blofeld suffers a wardrobe mishap ? "You know, Blofeld, I have always thought you were crazy, but now I can see your nuts !"
Ah well,
everything old is new again,
there is nothing new under the sun,
reduce, re-use, recycle...
I would rather she be cast as the main Bond girl, but I would settle for the main villain. Isabelle Huppert is another older actress I want to see cast as the main villain.
Well sure, you could say that of any suggestion of an average scene concept though. I could say a scene of Bond doing some photocopying could be great and you'd be well within your rights to be sceptical, but it's only until Peter Hunt films Lazenby doing it in Gumbold's office and John Barry lays an amazing score on it that it actually becomes so.
In principle the idea of Bond saving a woman from some attackers is... fine. I can't get excited about the concept behind it. If it were filmed incredibly well then great. Equally it could be filmed incredibly badly and the core concept wouldn't be enough to save it because it's not all that stunning.
Yes, some good proposals you have made.
And more Sharks no less ? :)>-
It's actually Maria Freudenstein. And apart from her character name, the short story itself is fairly accurately adapted in the film, even using the title too as a reference.
Or did you not realise that...?
And as for adapting a novel (any novel) - I don't understand - if they can adapt other novels these days (50 shades, or Nicholas Sparks), why not Bond? Like an independent movie approach.. Why does it have to be HUGE ?! When I started reading the novels, I was surprised how much it differs from the movies and it would really be refreshing to see a Bond movie done that way, the true Bondness, cold and cool and with a healthy dose of male humour.. What's wrong with that?!
Staying with the theme of this set of posts -- ie, where next for Bond ? -- does anything think -- perhaps someone might have read ? -- that the Young Bond books may be filmed ? I've not read them all, nor have I read all the adult-Bond post-Fleming books, but from what I did read of both, I found the Young Bonds finer than some of the post-Fleming books about adult Bond. I think it would enjoyable were the Young Bond films produced in their own timeframe, which would make them period films, even if concurrent adult Bong films produced with stories set -- as usual -- in the present-day. I think the period Young Bonds could be produced as long-form television programs and be very interesting. This would mean the timelines simply would not match -- though they would match for the earlier Bond films. So what ? Nor am I suggesting any "alternate universe" nonsense. Simply put-- they would be stories, independent of each other. Sometimes S Holmes is presented as a period character, and sometimes in the present day of the date of production. You simply cannot have a Bond in the present day matching up, timewise, with Fleming's books. That was feasible in 1962 and for a while thereafter, but no longer. Again -- so what ? Never mind anything like "his name is passed on" (I think people now call it "the codename approach'). They're simply stories presented for entertainment. This is the same as the producers have done through the years when there was a change.
Yes, totally.
Also, what The Joker has shown us, and hints of the new Batman film, audiences are well tuned in now and very accepting of dark, grim, bleak storylines (probably even moreso after 2020).
So a new Bond returning to the darker, harder, more brutal world of Fleming, rather than the BS escapist, OTT fantasy stuff is probably the direction EON will take with the next one (assuming we ever get to the next one).
I wouldn't call much of what went on in Joker fun, by comparison. :P
We may find out....one day.
Hopefully...... :)]
When you see that Atomic Blonde only cost $30 million, it might not be so catastrophic. I suppose that Bond 26 will have a slightly higher budget (between $70 and $100 million maybe), but this reduction in costs seems to me necessary to continue to have a series of profitable theatrically released films. At the same time, such situation could allow a more sustained production rate.
“Don’t f--k it up,” Craig bluntly said Monday during his appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” when asked about advice for the next James Bond.
Not very classy......... :(
Not wrong though, either.
Right or wrong you would think he could come up with something more decent or witty as millions of people of all ages have seen that show or video clip and might be offended by it ?
if anyone gets offended by that, they need to grow a pair.
Blunt. To the point. Funny. True. All in four little words.
I thought it was quite funny. I have the distinction of not having a stick planted firmly up my ass, though.
