There was 11 years between Batman standalones.
And date of release of NTTD and today is only three years.
What’s your point @Colonel_Venus
I also hope you note that the examples above were also in transition and recasting….and i don’t think Bond will take 11 or 12 years to return to cinemas, so…..
With you.
With you.
💯 💯 💯
No one sets out to make a crappy flick. Steven Seagal films see ppl behind the scenes trying to make the best damn film they can with budget (and leading man) constraints.
In spite of all best efforts, some movies just stink, but that was no one's intention.
I look forward to our first news in a couple more years' time at most and seeing the attitudes and atmosphere hopefully change for the better.
We should write a script. Every time one comes onto the site, they should go to the Mi6 Community Bond Script and add a line, a scene, a sequence, or a dialogue scene. Or more.
Could be a fun community exercise…………or could lead to a verbal bloodbath.
But @peter, you'll bring your best Tarantino, I'll bring my best Kevin Smith, @Creasy47 will bring his best Michael Mann, and we all end up with a cacaphony of words that makes our script look like something Tommy Wiseau put together. 😄
Correction @DarthDimi , we will make anything Wiseau has done look like Citizen Kane !!
Are we getting paid? 😉
With the winning formula you mention above, I suggest we write on spec and then go wide with it, dazzling the studio system. They won’t be able to help themselves. There WILL be a bidding war. It’ll sell for five million. There will be awards aplenty and we will teach EoN how it’s done.
Then, they’ll sue us (something about copyright something or other, and ownership on something or someone)…
Trust me. This will be the greatest adventure any script could possibly take: from blank page, to riches, to awards, to lawsuits and embarrassments, to rags, and then jail.
Very much off topic, but I maintain The Room is an inadvertent masterpiece (in its own anyway, and not for the right reasons) that always brings viewers watching it in a theatre together… I’m not ashamed to say I’ve seen it way more times than Citizen Kane, haha.
So in my mind potentially yes, no script on these forums will get to the heights of The Room.
Blasphemy!
Our little project will have people throwing spoons at the screen, so help me god.
@DarthDimi please make a note: we need spoons, and lots of spoons in every other scene. This is the “interactive” part of our film, keeping our audiences attention to the details of our scenes, and every time they see spoons, they will throw them at the screen.
It’s brilliant. This thing is writing itself!
And our Bond needs to be unique, like Nic Cage’s Superman was gonna be unique. .. I got it: our Bond will have long, wavy black hair. Past his shoulders. But we’ll keep the comma… And our Bond will have only one foot. People will wonder, why only one foot? But we won’t tell them, adding mystery and subtext……
EDIT:
And @DarthDimi … we cast one person as Felix ……. Our own @talos7 !! And the inside joke is that Bond will keep calling him Wolverine, with no explanation (our inside joke that Talos looks like Jackman’s Wolverine).
I’m seriously crapping out gold nuggets here.
Gold! 😂
And we just found our title: GOLD! (and yes, I think the exclamation gives it more gravitas, so it stays!!).
Thanks @talos7 , not only will you be the best Felix committed to screen, you’re also one of the creatives now. You’ll get an acting and writing credit AND an executive producing credit. Ready to become famous?!!
Oh yes, they should TOTALLY direct! Why don't we add @Mendes4Lyfe on there too, since filmmaking is super easy according to all three!
Oh, is that right? That's means the fan-made Bond film would be better than From Russia With Love.
Oh, I'm sure some members here look like James Bond. It's just a matter of arranging a screentest and the best from them is picked.
6 foot with black hair and blue eyes, though only 24. But I think we should have a young Bond to appeal to the target Gen Z audience.
Definitely.
Indiana Jones isn't the same as Bond. Bond gets new actors, updates itself to each new decade, and has managed to 'reinvent' itself numerous times since the 60s, even when audience interest in the franchise has waned. Indiana Jones hasn't ever done that. They're just not the same things, and Bond has an advantage in this area.
That's all I'm going to say about it though. Like I said it's just so obvious and this thread really gets into circles that I'm guilty of continuing. There's so much we can speculate on and potentially look forward to with a new Bond film/era and it's pointless being pessimistic until we see how it turns out.
To answer that, you have to look back at what happened to Bond during Craig.
There's a reason many old timers have been claiming for a new 007 adventure like in the old days where he is given an assignment, goes his merry way, kill many people including the bad guy, drink champagne and get the girl in the end after bedding other women.
Those days were gone once Craig came aboard. That era closed with DAD.
Barbara has done something unique, she has elevated the series way above it's class, with great writers and directors that bought something unique (save QOS, which even has it's highlights). She has put the Bond puzzle apart, and reassembled it by looking hard into Bond psyche.
She basically has remodeled Bond, who was always a cardboard character, into thicker cardboard.
Now she needs to map out what the next 5 films will do to the character and the franchise. It's not just about re-doing what was done from 1962 to 2002.
It's about taking that character, and keeping him relevant in the 21st century.
The world since NTTD has gone mad, with real viruses and mind viruses, we need Bond back to bring sense to it. England is crumbling, with criminals being released after rapes and murders and people posting on X being put in prison in their place.
The British empire is at it's lowest, and that's why we need Bond to come back, and restore some sense in it. It's the worst of times, and probably the best of times for Bond to come back.
