No it was because the producers felt like they couldn't carry on "down the road" caused by DAD. CHECK YOUR DVD FEATURES.
:)) Not a big fan then?
which i think is perhaps the most stupidest excuse they could have came up with- hello remember Moonraker!!! they went into For Your Eyes Only and gave Roger one of his best bond films? and they couldnt even do the same treatment for Brosnan!!
if it wasn't for the critical success of the first 2 Bourne films, I can guarantee you Brosnan would have made a 5th.
Thank heavens for Bourne, then. A 5th Brosnan Bond would have taken in alot of money, but it would have turned out as DAD2. In the same way that DAF is an even more excessive YOLT, I can't imagine Bond#21 being anything other than a more excessive version of DAD.
What about MR-FYEO ? Why couldn't Brosnan's 5th be like Moore's FYEO ?
Do you REALLY think they would have done a DAD2? For crying out loud how much worse could it get after the windsurfing scene.
As Haphazard said a fifth Brosnan film was more likely to be similar to GE. More espionage based but with its fair share of loud action.
That was a diferent EON. The Babs controlled EON doesn't learn from their mistakes. Just look at the Craig films. We still have the same soul crushingly bad dialogue frm the Brosnan films. Not to metion Dench as M.
DAD made them money. I think they would have chased that rabbit as far down the hole as they could go. DAD is an insult , but I it could have gotten worse with a fatter and more gray Brosnan for starters. I don't want to insult the man, but compared to TND/TWINE, Brosnan wasn't in his best shape in DAD.
I'd have to disagree, DC. Had they they not jumped on the reboot bandwagon, I think DAD2 was inevitable.
For crying out loud, there's nothing wrong with the presence of Judi Dench. Personally I prefer her pre-Craig but nonetheless she's a serious contender for my favourite M.
Obviously Bernard is the classic M but what makes Dench so memorable is her way with one-liners
("perhaps...but the advantage is I don't have to think with them all the time")
For crying out loud, Dench is not the problem - it's now her character is written. Too much psycho-babble, too many in-the-field scenes........
Thank you DC, my thoughts exactly.
By all means believe that, but I think otherwise. Because she's Judi Dench (the reason EON gave), sould not be the reason she was carried over to the Craig era. She should have been the Brosnan M only and should have been replaced as M. I can think of a number of actors and actresses that should have been the reboot M. Ken Stott and Brenda Blethyn to name one of each.
Lee was damn good, but I prefer Brown. As for the balls line, I know she didn't write that line, but it's an incredibly juvenile line for M to say, very crass. And this is from someone who otherwise loves TND.
I agree with @DC, if it wasn't for Bourne we would've gotten Brosnan 5, which in a way I'm sad we didn't get. It could've been an OHMSS/FYEO back to earth sort of film.
And yeah Babs is the worst thing to happen to the series.
