So surely its easier now ,as most veterans are dead,God bless them ?
Nazi's always make good Villains, ever Drax with his new master race.
Makes it far less likely that a former Nazi or someone whose motivations are linked to WWII play a part in a plot for a movie set in our time. That was my point. Even in GE, another movie influenced by the novel MR, Trevelyan was implausibly young for someone whose past and motivations were rooted in Stalin's purges.
Which makes me question the management of EON if they decided against using Fleming material, something which Cubby himself obviously advocated during his tenure as producer in the 60's, and again in the 80's.
Trevelyan's back story made more sense when Anthony Hopkins was being considered as the villain.
The problem with TMWTGG is that an amnesia storyline will be tough to pull off credibly, plus it will seem too much like Bourne. Yes, I know Bourne was originally a riff on Bond.
No thats not what i meant...there are man far right Neo-Nazi operators in real life in the world..it obviously wouldnt be a veteran..
Yes they are scumbags,but,they could still be used as a background element for the main villain in the MR material,thats what i mean.
I mean I'd love to see neo-Nazis used but not everyone would I guess. Drax was an early vengeful neo-Nazi I suppose.
Exactly....dont know if it would be a problem if it was used as a background story only,like Dr Mortener in AVTAK...at least that would be slightly consistant with Fleming's MR.
There's a fair bit of that in the Moonraker novel if Eon ever deigned to film it faithfully for once. I suppose the nearest we've come to that is the Bond-Tracy lovers montage by the pioneering Peter Hunt in OHMSS.
