The genius of the series is that it reinvents itself with a largely new cast with each film. Spinning off a regular like M, Q, Moneypenny, or even Leiter would probably make the audience wonder where Bond is.
Agree. Plus they would be unnecessary. There were rumors of a Jinx spinoff, a Wai Lin spinoff and a Jaws and Dolly spinoff. Thankfully, none of them happened in reality.
I had never heard of that before.
:(
It's making me cringe...
How about an epic WW2 film with Bernard Lee as Miles Messervy ?
so you are tempted ?
But as for the Thesis- I don't see it hurting or helping the Bond movies-- and I think the spin-off would fail miserably. Everyone would miss Bond!!
Thesis is right, we need an absolute minimum on damn Bond spin offs from here on in I'm thinking right now
Impossible, his dead.
I know !!!!!!! It's just an idea of an awesome spin-off !!!!!!! Dimi didn't say in the thesis that you can only use recent characters for spin-offs !!!!!!!!!
It's sort of amusing to pretend he's the same character in Superman II ;)
"Did that sumbich just give me an order???"
Well, Tom Mankiewicz did work on the scripts for both films.
<font color=blue size=7><b>After the Craig era, we should get a faithful adaptation of Fleming's novels via a 26 episode (45 min) TV series.</b></font>
Fair enough, sir. =)
Agreed, although I wouldn't mind them doing something for Childern in need etc..
Why not? I mean, they can continue to make the films being the huge events they are, but why not adapting the books to serials as well? Most of them are pretty short and don't work as full features anyway. Plus a bunch of the stories we never got faithful adaptations anyways: YOLT, LALD, MR, DAF in particular. I would love that if we got more Bond.
So I don't have an answer to the current thesis. As far as I can say, and adaptation of Fleming short stories - very well made - could be a positive thing.
Maybe. Only they need to set them back in the era they were written (1952-1964), not currently.
