Still it was considered unfilmable and he did it and excelled on the highest level. Manny a director has failed to tell much more simpler storylines ( i'm looking at you Mendes)
Well, success is relative. The film didn't seem to light audiences on fire, and certainly not critics. When you add in the fact that is had no legs as a film and was a bomb at the box office, success isn't looking like the best word. But, I'm glad you enjoy it and and indifference regardless.
Now if it's okay with you, I'm going to quit talking about a comic book film in a Bond voting thread as I should've obviously avoided even referencing in the first place.
Off course not @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 . I think it's a very valid discussion, even in this poll. Let's not forget that most likely Daniel Craig will be co-producer again for the next film (if he returns). So why not letting him read some of those new comic books??
I think you were well within your rights given he claimed it was the best film of the century.
@Gustav_Graves, I am happy you aren't upset about the topic going off, as that wasn't my intention, but it has little relevancy to be fair. I also don't think Dan wants to read a comic that came out in the late 80s. But maybe, just maybe. ;)
@TheWizardOfIce, true, but I should've shown more restraint. Or retorted with the real best film of the century, Adam Sandler's Jack & Jill.
Then he can crawl into his flying saucer and go home! :O ;) :D :))
And what about dear old Rory...?
Well naturally, Rory will continue as Tanner. I also believe that using CGI, Rory should be placed into each film pre QOS. Just drop him in... like a pebble in a pond.
A special edition Rory box set? Count me in!!
Given that he has zero screen presence you could insert him into any scene in Bond history without it being obtrusive in the slightest.
I'm also picturing a Tanner spin-off. Imagine Die Hard, but set in the MI6 building, and rather than John McClane running around shooting people, it is Tanner hiding under a desk, while other characters do the shooting (off screen) for 120 minutes.
I think Wishaw is great and should stay on for as long as Desmond, but Harris has been underwhelming and Fiennes is good but replaceable. It depends imo. If they go for a continuation of the Craig era with the next guy then they should all stay on, but they do a reboot of any kind then they should probably get a new M and MP just to make it more clear imo.
@Mendes4Lyfe suggested in another thread that when the next actor comes around we should have a Bondless PTS setting up the story and then after the titles skip the briefing and just have Bond get off the plane somewhere on his mission. I really love that idea. Instantly makes him more mysterious and enigmatic, plus the scenes at MI6 have felt a bit going through the motions and full of exposition for years now. If they wanted to really freshen things up they could do a good few films with no M, no MP and no Q. Have them referenced directly and indirectly so their presence is felt even if they're there off screen, but don't bother with any of the London stuff. Imagine if Bond surprised the audience with a gadget rather than it being set up earlier on (I'm not counting the LALD or SP watches because they're cheating) or if he arrived at a location and you weren't sure straight away why he's there or what his mission was, adding more mystery to the character.
As for whether the next Bond will continue in the same era/timeline/whatever you want to call it, I don't think it matters. They gutted the series in 2006, but still kept Dench on. For the time being, all I see needing a change cast wise, is Bond. Replace Craig, and a feeling of freshness will come with the new Bond.
Option A] 60 voters = 76,92%
Option B] 03 voters = 03,85%
Option C] 07 voters = 08,97%
Option D] 08 voters = 10,26%
TOTAL......78 voters (so far)
Daniel Craig returns = Option A + D combined = 87,18%
Daniel Craig resigns = Option B + C combined = 12,82%
So the poll only started four days ago, on August 5th. Almost the same amount of people have voted in this closed Facebook Group. And the majority that wants Daniel Craig to return is even bigger there.
Obviously, it's merely a Facebook Group, making it a lot easier to vote. Because you can create a poll yourself there (why doesn't our forum have an option to make polls??). And on Facebook people tend to be less critical than in here. Yet, those are 'Bond Enthusiasts' also. Perhaps not as knowledgeable as us, but still their vote should be looked into as well. Democracy eh ;-).
At the end of the day, I'm not going to change my view that they should recast and reboot, even if you send me the results from 20 'Bond Enthusiast' polls littering the internet.
It's more a question of acceptance rather than agreement from my perspective. I accept what EON does. I don't have to agree with it.
No @BondJames :-). Not at all! And why would I? If such convincing majorities vote for either this or that option :-). I just found it interesting to compare results. That's all. Actually? Stand for your vote C] please!! I prefer that! Never change it! :-)
Dear @BondJames. If it's C] anyway I will be interested in how this is going to turn out.
You read recently Daniel Craig is one more James Bond in Bond 25 as 007. Now the current M well more likely to stay on. Ralph Fiennes from the movie version of The Avengers. So Noemi Harries as well. Now Ben Wishaw who starred with Daniel Craig in few movies. He likely to move on the other things. He failed to take Dr.Who from Peter Capaldi. It went to a Woman. I don't what his future is. But I glad Daniel Craig come back for the 5th as 007 in Bond 25. That all I got to say
