The traditional movie pitch is a descriptive sentence on a piece of paper waved under the nose of studio exec. The purposes of this thread is to pitch the selected Bond title of the week to a bunch of studio execs. (fellow members)
Knowing all you know now about the series and the film and not taking into account changes in script or shooting.

A winner will be picked each week and they then have carte blanche to select the next film and pick the winner of that round.

Be as humorous or dramatic as you like and go ahead..how would you have done it?

This weeks Film; OCTOPUSSY

Pitch: Like the pink panther but with eggs, elephants and elegant floating palaces. Guaranteed results.

    You got a deal! Cheeky and direct, nice. Although @M_Balje was a very close second. Good stuff agents ( as in hollywood not secret).
    Over to you now @thelivingroyale pick your Bond movie and lets see what our salesmen are made of. ;-)

    Die Another Day

    My pitch: "We make a great, classic first half, we get a talented cast, and that should make the audience happy enough, so we can just piss about after that and throw in any old sh*t. I'm thinking towards the end we use the laser satellite idea again and turn the menacing Korean villian from the PTS into a posh white guy in a videogame suit"

    'I bet Bond is a big enough draw that we can serve up any old shit and still clear $300m plus. Dont believe me? Then have a read of this script.'

    Octopussy - "We couldn't get Keaton, we couldn't get Lloyd, Laurel and Hardy were unavailable so we found Roger Moore and let him run riot"

    Die Another Day:

    We honor the past 40 years. See if you can find the shoddy CGI Easter eggs.

    Pitch: "For over 40 years, James Bond has faced dangerous people and situations, but not even the greatest spy can imagine a plan so diabolical it almost finished him: a film with no story and a script filled with nothing but cheap innuendos under the guise of the 40th year anniversary of the franchise, engineered by two evil "geniuses" known only as Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. Can he escape from this situation? Find out... IF YOU DARE!

    Pitch:
    Die Another Day: Because you can't kill James Bond today. Or any day. So who needs a script? Throw him in a Korean prison and watch him surf his way to saving the world. 40 years of Bond - winks and nods and toss in Halle (who is this year's ripe tomato) and rake in the bucks. Can I get a writing credit, too, now? Thanks!

    No, he can't escape from this situation! The movie is so bad that we have to reboot a 44 year old franchise and pretend that the first twenty films simply never existed!
