Craig yes, but I have not heard or read anywhere that Mendes was on board for Bond 25? Although if that was the case? I would not mind at all.
Bring back Martin Campbell too. He's already shown that he's very good at introducing Bond actors.
It's all so far in the future, I'm content to enjoy the next couple of years first.
Many new directors could appear in the coming years so there will be lots of names flying around when the time comes to introduce the next actor.
As for Wright, who knows?
He should be IN a Bond film. He'd be such a brilliant villain!
Having played the villain in the new Jack Ryan, I doubt we'll see him pop up in Bond anytime soon (at least not as the heavy).
The question is, to which cheek are you referring? ;-)
Bond is a modern man, with one foot in the future and one foot in the past. He's not "period" and the series shouldn't be turned into an ersatz Mad Men.
THANK YOU
I just think there may come a point in the future when to reinvigorate the series they need to consider something like this. CR has blown apart what was an already slightyl shaky chronology. I personally would not have an issue if they decided at some future point to tell another chapter in a different time period.
'Ersatz Mad Men' implies one particular take on how you could approach this. I think going back in time opens up a myriad of different ways to tell Bond's story.
As I say, I'm not particularly advocating this right now, just saying that I think with the way that MGW and Babs have begun to think much more radically about what a Bond movie can be, that this will inevitably come up again and again as a possible option in the future. No need to be restricted to the 50 or 60s either. Period 70 and 80s Bond always a possibility too.
CR just tore up the timeline and SF effectively set the second half of the movie in the past any way. It all just shows that these ideas are already out there and it's only a small step to going the whole hog and doing 60s Bond. It's what Tarantino suggested doing and there will be others pushing for the same direction. There's no reason why Bond could not alternate between period films and contemporary ones. Although I think this is an approach that would have to be adopted consistently with each actor. So Henry Cavill for example could be a 60s Bond, and his successor could return to the 21st century.
His Hamlet was enjoyable, sometimes great, but very uneven I think.
Bond may have been created in the 50s and we got the movies from the 60s onwards but that serves the point of Bond being a man of the times, a contemporary character for the day and age in which we live.
Purvis: "Ok, so for the plot to move forward Silva needs to attack MI6, how does he do it?"
Wade: "I've got it. Hacking."
Purvis: "Genius! Now, what about his escape?"
Wade: "He could hack his way out?"
Purvis: "You're on fire today! But how does Bond know to get to the enquiry? And how does Bond keep track of him?"
Wade: "Well Q's back isn't he, so what if..."
Purvis: "Q was a hacker!!!! Brilliant stuff!"
I'm hoping that SF was mainly Purvis and Wade's film, and that Logan will ditch the earpieces and hacking in Bond 24. Could be wrong though...
Eon should be scouting 20-something Connery-like actors, even now.
Get the Sean ducks lined up so we can pick the most worthy.
