That I want to see. :)) If Uwe Boll directs, can we have Steven Seagal as Felix Leiter? ;-) Imagine that... an Uwe Boll-directed Bond film. CR67 suddenly looks like an expertly made, well-organized, tonally even movie.
Yes, it is very, very unlikely.
But he did the remake of WSS and he wanted to make a sequel to Bullitt. We don't know what he thinks now that he's getting old.
What a surprise. A mention of Putin and Trump, neither of which are really relevant other than the fact they’re controversial leaders.
EON has kept Bond relatively apolitical, and will likely remain that way.
The constant need to mention Putin and Trump seems pointless and unnecessary.
Why? They are the two greatest threats--and one with the biggest military--that the world will have to face, starting on Monday. We're basically living in the plot of OP.
I know this is seen as unfair and unpopular decision for a select few. At the end of the day this is a James Bond forum, but mostly it’s because such discussions always, ALWAYS end in a big argument so it’s better to keep such topics off the forum and leave it for other places.
Wow now THERE's a Casting Question ! Who could play Bullitt ?!!? And who could take the parts played originally by J Bisset and The Man From UNCLE ?!!! AND - which cars ? They're not supposed to be supercars or very expensive or modified cars...
Bradley Cooper was to take the main role! Is it still meant to go ahead? I hope not, as it's hard to top the original!
Hollowpoint.
It would be shocking if a land war in Europe and a test of the post-War alliances caused by rising nativism did not shape the direction of B26, much as "GoldenEye" was a response to the end of the Cold War or "Casino Royale" to the war on terror or "Spectre" and the rise of digital air surveillance. They don't name states in the films but they certainly pull from topical events.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if B26 was about a usurper trying to take power on the homefront, and Bond having to take them out.
I agree, current events will form the backdrop for the story with the plot having some other aspect to it.
Indeed, which is what Spectre was to some extent, and most Mission Impossible films play this way to avoid playing on international situations and potentially turning off any overseas markets.
There's an argument to say that that sort of thinking in blockbusters like Mi or Bond over the years has potentially contributed to the ever-increasing mindset we see on social media of people disbelieving their governments and thinking they're lying to them about various things- confidence is at an all-time low according to polls we see increasingly.
I think maybe it might be good for Bond films to steer clear of traitors or rogue actors in governments for a while: I'm not sure it's healthy.
