Great minds think alike my friend! ;)
One and a half years. December '65 and June '67.
Yes well, I think the essential people - e.g. Daniel Craig - wouldn't want to work with Gibson.
Why do you say that?
I'd like a new car altogether, we've had AMs every film since DAD.
A jag would be nice, there was a great Bentley suggested, or they could bring back the Lotus.
sorry, was meant to say wouldn't lol :P
I'd like to see a Bentley or a Lotus in a current Bond film. Probably the Bentley. If not one of those two, just keep using Aston Martin's, as that's the classic Bond film car.
But the chances of that happening are probably 0,00000000001%. I trust Daniel and Barbara on this.
I don't know I just think of Aston Martin as the James Bond car, they just go along with the characterful so well. Pierce Brosnan looked waaaaay better in the Vanquish than he did in any BMW, although the Z8 was a nice Bond car.
Lotus would be cool. The new Esprit is really nice and would fit Craig, but they still don't have the gentlemanly air of sophistication that Astons do.
I definitely don't think Bond should ever drive a Bentley unless its a really classic one like in NSNA. Bond should drive a sports car, not a 3 ton luxury coupe that floats around corners.
Well I think what I wrote before that he to drive a British Brand I suggest he should drive Jag. Aston Martin again will great Lotus too. British Brand is to be company issued car by Q. I don't want him in European car or Japanese only as his rented cars. Jensen is maybe coming back soon to production rumoured in 2014 sales.
Now he to carry only Walther as actual gun it be good to see him with new Walther, either PPQ, PK380,PPS or his P99 again. The PPK/S is to be his spare gun. & Few gadget for his safety including his Bondmobile.
Skyfall seems to prove otherwise, ok they wrote with someone, but still.
Here is a quote from Sam Mendes about the story outline when he first arrived as director of SKYFALL...
‘...When I came on board – which was very early in the day – there was already a treatment [a story outline]. And I was very clear straight away that was not what I wanted to do. I took one small element from that treatment, and abandoned everything else.’
Now..would this story outline have been from P&W...if so then Mendes only kept 1 small element and junked the rest - then I guess brought in John Logan to finish but P&W get to keep a credit because of the 1 element....or is this not correct?
So would this be more evidence that P&W are not providing the production team strong enough stories?
the quote is in this interview

Personally I would like to see:
- gunbarrel at the start
- return of Felix Lighter
- use of a winter location
- Bond visit New York or Paris
- return of Quantum
- re-imagination of Blofeld
- Chris Nolan directing
What do you guys want to see?
No Chris Nolan, because people will say that Bond imitates Batman, just like when Bond was compared to Bourne because Bradley was hired to direct QOS.
But they're really hit and miss and there are better writers out there, some who would love to work on a Bond film.
Problem for Sam Mendes is - I think. that the aspect of making another one more or less back to back seems absolutely scary. Its all consuming and hopefully, if a bit of time has passed and he has recovered from the task, he will say Yes.
They have written the "basics". I don't see the big deal here. Their scripts were much worse during PB's era.
Mendes brought his own ideas, he's a very different director than Campbell & Forster. And I don't want to see Blofeld. Quantum will be back, it's today's SPECTRE. But some are making a big deal out of the fact that Quantum will not be mentioned in SF, just enjoy the film I say.
Completely agree. Bond should also be using the P99. I know bringing in stuff like the DB5 and PPK from the Connery years provides nostalgic value, but this is the 21st century. Bond and his equipment need to evolve, while staying true to the character (keep to the British cars and Walther, just use newer models).
As for the Bond 24 director I think Brad Bird would be an excellent choice seeing how well he directed MI: GP.
As for Bird, if GP was his audition to direct a Bond movie, I'd turn him down, although The Incredibles was pretty damn good.
Never understood the problems with the fight scenes. :)
Walter PPK was his weapon of choice for years, don't see what that has to do with "nostalgic value".
Aston Martin DB5 was in:
Goldfinger
Thunderball
Goldeneye
Tomorrow Never Dies
Casino Royale
Skyfall
Hardly something "21st century".
Even the slightest change is criticized like crazy. I would keep the PPK and have the newest AM, with an extra DB5 for pleasure cruising. I wouldn't mind seeing Bond having a collection of fine automobiles either.
