No. 3 is his weakest point. What evidence do we have that people will get tired of Bond films if they come out every two years? Bupkis, I suspect.
Evidence? It's common sense! Just look at the Bond franchise in the 80s. Yes, you can have a short gap between films once in a while but if you release a Bond film every other year consistently for a decade or longer, people will get tired of the franchsie.
Imagine if there was a Bond film released this year. The teaser trailer would be released sometime this month. I'm convinced a large percentage of people would think: Again?
Agree, exept Beam.
RE: If there was only a two year gap between TWINE and DAD then Die Another Day would have been even worse.
I disagree. The script whas changed close to the end of 2001, if there start producing earlier the movie released in November 2001 without the changes. Rosamund Pike stil played Miranda Frost and Jinx be trater. Jinx already be trater with working for Falco and her killing of the doctor. Then: Falco who must keep his mouth shot insteed of M/Mi6, we get Frost and Bond in hot tube and Jinx died at the end. There already can have kild of Jinx with Bond have not saved her from the meltdown of ice, but that scene possible not have been in the movie. So Jinx died in the knife, Frost with Madonna and the movie end with Bond and Moneypenny.
Skyfall feels as 2010 movie and i think i will feel the same with TDKR when i going to see it. Between Bourne 2 and Bourne Ultimatum be 3 years, but if we look to the result it should be released in 2005.
Bond 25 in 2017. The 4 year break between QOS and Skyfall whas way to long and made this wish bigger. If there release Bond 24 this year it have been 6 years between QOS and Bond 24 and it feels as 2x 3 years and then 3 years later in 2017 Bond 24. But there go for 2015, more acceptable if there stil go for Bond 25 in 2017. in 2017 It been 9 years since QOS and that's 3x3 years. 2002-2017 is 15 years, 5x3 years / 5 movies.
I don't suppose it occurred to you that the relative lack of success of the 80s Bond films could have had something to do with their relative lack of quality, certainly in the case of OP and AVTAK, not to mention Moore's advancing years? And there are a million other factors besides.
At any rate, from DN through LALD, Bond films came out once every 1.4 years. That was also the period of Bond's most sustained popularity.
Sorry, but I just don't buy the notion that Bond every two years is overkill.
As for the "lack of success of Bond in the 80s", gee, 79-83 was the second wave of Bond box-office huge success... OP was #2 overseas and NSNA #3, and worldwide OP was #2 and NSNA was #4 ! Viewers getting tired of Bond in the 80s is an urban legend based on too much reading of the US box office only, and the fact Star Wars IV, V, VI did massive box office at that time. Bond's box office was a lot done overseas, the franchise was the first to earn money that way, and it surely helped a lot not to rely too much on a single market.
On another slightly different subject, it looks like the casting of Chiwetel Ejiofor looks increasingly unlikely as he has just committed to the English-language remake of The Secret in Their Eyes. Variety reports that Ejiofor is in the cast, along with Gwyneth Paltrow. The film will shoot in Boston.

I'd love to see the connoisseur side of Bond's personality reveal itself again. Let's get back to the books or at least to a lesser degree, the Connery films. One sometimes feels as though the film makers believe that the only side to Bond's personality is that he has a taste for action, women and suits. There's a lot more to his personality than this although whether the writers and company realise this, I'm not sure. I miss the days when Bond used to talk about fine wines.
I'm a bit late on the subject of Scandinavian actresses, but I wish they would screen-test Norwegian singer/song writer <a href="
I think it maybe way too much reading into it? But hey? If you are right that's one great call on your part!
Here's a picture of him from the Gym:
Why is it unlikely? Lots of high profile actors do several projects at the same time?
And we know for a fact that the Bond villain actor only needs to be commited to the project 1-2 months.
Robert Carlyle did three other movies the same year they were shooting TWINE. The same did Jonathan Pryce. Mathieu Amalric even did five others.
He was also in the Fleming BBC series, as credited on IMDB. I'd say he's in the perfect position, with Mendes, Logan, Green, and Dalton, plus the Fleming credit, to be cast. Doesn't mean he is, though. His response was.. interesting. He was calm and stationary the whole interview, and then she brings up Bond and suddenly he's restless, looking away, and smiley. Like someone whose life has been threatened to secrecy dancing their way out of an answer.
Good grief! I hope that's a woman next to DC. At least I think I hope that.
**shudder**
=))
Sadly, that's about spot on.
For some reason I thought about May Day. She looks very butch, but her rather touchy feely attitude towards Craig made me think she is heterosexual.
