Common sense prevails! Thank you Babs!!! =D> :-bd
I can't say I feel the same. I never had any interest in a Moneypenny spin-off, but the notion of Barry Jenkins having a pitch on it is pretty amazing. Had it been some dime-store director looking for a gig I would roll my eyes. But Jenkins is such a talent and the fact that he's interested should be enough to at least get Eon's attention.....
I never knew how much I wanted this movie till today.
I'd really like to see an action packed Stacey Sutton spin off film that focuses on Stacey and her cat 35 years after her encounters with Zorin and Bond.
Tanya Roberts still looks amazing and I think could pull it off. She may need to warm up her vocal chords to get her screaming at the correct pitch. It has been nearly 35 years, after all.
In all seriousness, I'd much rather Eon focus on Bond's future post Craig than plan additional films centered on supporting characters. It takes nearly half a decade just to get one Bond film rolling as it is.
I'm a simple guy haha :D
I also think it's too late in Craig's era to produce a spin off.
Although it's possible the current MI6 staff regulars may continue into the next Bond actor's films, anything can happen.
Who knows what direction Eon will take when Bond is recast? I don't believe those decisions will be made any time soon, and we're looking at another long wait regardless. A spin off film would only delay B26 further.
...plus we're still unsure of Daniel's tenure, which would make a spin-off seem even more out of place in my opinion. I mean if you're gonna do it, you're gonna wanna start everything fresh.
The Bond series doesn't need any spin offs.
Exactly. I don't know about anyone else but i watch Bond films and read Bond novels for James Bond. No one else. All other characters are secondary.
You say that, but Moneypenny had spin-off novels.
Will Rory Kinnear hook up with his favorite director and try to pitch a Tanner film to Barbara? How about Ben Whishaw doing the same?
Maybe Ralph Fiennes should get together with the director of The Grand Budapest Hotel and pitch an M standalone to Barbara?
In my honest opinion, the only regulars who would have deserved even a meeting with the producers in such regards were Lois Maxwell, Bernard Lee and Desmond.
Why not consider him for Bond 26 as director?
Isn't that what The King's Man is about?
And they were very good.
Also, it's pretty telling and a bit bold that Harris revealed that Barbara rejected the idea. It sounds like she resents her for doing so.
There is no appetite for a Moneypenny movie. Barbara knows this. Jenkins’ idea was clearly a bit of nonsense he cooked up with Harris while they were having a few bevvies. It happens. Barbara isn’t going to green light a vanity project that treads on the toes of the world’s longest running franchise.
She is awesome, I agree. Doesn’t mean it should happen.
Quite right. I could write a thesis on why it’s a bad move, but I don’t have to. Barbara is one of the most experienced producers in the business and she ended it before it was beyond a mere thought.
Worth noting, these things happen all the time. 99% of ‘ideas’ are rejected. I pitch ideas for a living, I know.
Now THAT would be interesting!
