I don't understand your comment, could you elaborate?
EON (meaning BB + MGW) getting a grip on themselves and their franchise and immediately starting pre-production on TWO Bond movies shot back to back for release in 2017 and 2018.
A big finale to Daniel Craig's tenure.
Both movies have the same production team, same director, editor, cinematographer, composer, sound, sound-editing, special effects team...you get the idea.
First theme song by Lana Del Rey.
Second theme song by Chris Cornell. (yes!)
David Arnold doing the scores.
If not him, someone else but not Newman the lullaby expert.
Same ensemble cast in both movies with villain getting killed by the end of second movie.
Happy-end. No dreary tear-jerker scene at the end.
And most importantly, get decent writer.
P+W off to the middle of the desert with a can, ok, two cans of oil!
That's not what I meant. I wasn't referring to UNCLE at all. My point was that they've already done 'period Bond', as this nonsense article calls it, ie. James Bond in the 60s. It happened, let's not endorse a poor imitation of that era.
Bassey still has it in her. Her latest album of 2014 even has a completely new re-recording of Goldfinger which sound better than the original. Check it out.
Of course I'd have her mentioned in my wish list if it were realistic, but I believe BB would not choose her, she only seems interested in money these days. Adele and SS being proof of that sadly.
I say Chris Cornell because it would book-end Craig's movies. I want to have some kind of book-end. Martin Campbell isn't possible so I go with the next best thing which is the music.
Great points you've made there. It would only be a wish list, like you said. But, then again, hardly we'd likely be getting Chris Cornell again since he's no longer as famous as he was ten years ago (I can't believe it was ten years ago, though), I don't see his name trending anywhere, but I could be wrong. Yes, Miss Broccoli is akin to get the trend of the day aboard. Who would've thought Sam Smith would have been a Bond singer along with a performance like the one he brought? I wouldn't have expected it.
However, I still would like to see Alicia Keys deliver a proper Blues song related to the 007 saga. She's a great singer.
We might have to agree to disagree on that one. It's still parody for me. None of these 60's period pieces look like the real thing, they're a combination of a misremembered and rose-tinted aesthetic with an overt stylistic attempt at 60s framing, composition and camera movement that betrays the originals because they lull into 21st coverage. The only way I could ever see a Bond period film working is if they set it in the 50s, shot it in B+W and had an auteur meticulously and slavishly adhere to the style of the day. No modern techniques, faithful production design, faithful sound design and recording, appropriate camera movement and blocking, the list goes on. It would end up being an incredibly indulgent piece of cinema and commercially redundant, but it's the only way I'd like a period Bond to be done. That's why it shouldn't happen.
You have a point there, I have to admit. And no, I wouldn't want Bond to get the Mad Men treatment, either. But, let's just say, if Sherlock Holmes can still remain in the 1880s/90s, then why not putting Bond in the era he came from? I agree with you that everything has to remain faithful to the originals, with every bit of a detail. I can imagine the piece ending up in a very memorable position in the art of cinema. Then again, the biggest fear of them all is whether it will make money or not. Because there will always be the attempt to bring in new audiences rather than just pleasing the fans.
So, all in all, I have to agree with you.
The Hildebrand Rarity
Daniel Craig as James Bond 007
Jordanna Spiro as Liz Krest (she is unknown gorgeous and a really good actress)
Daniel Day Lewis Colonel Von Hammerstein
(the rest of the cast the same as Spectre)
Directed by Pierre Morel
Written by Luc Besson (Taken) and Christopher Mcquarrie (Mission Impossible Rogue Nation)
Music by David Arnold
Title Song By Yes (let me dream)
Plot I can't discuss right now Though I am thinking a mix between the fugitive and Taken Hopefully that doesn't give anything away. If you want to know my actual Idea PM me as it contains several MAJOR SPOILERS for Spectre of course in 2 months I plan on posting my plot anyways assuming I will remember it lol.
So yeah I get that in 2018 I will be happy.

Sam Mendes returning one last time
Written by Luc Besson (Taken) and Christopher Mcquarrie (Mission Impossible Rogue Nation) and maybe edited by purvis and wade (come on they know bond like no one else)
Mi6 Crew returning
I don't think so. There was 1 and a half years between those releases at the cinema.
My guess is that if David Fincher were to be offered and subsequently accept the role of director, then DC may think twice about hanging up his PPK. I say this because there was a palpable chemistry between director and star in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, where DC and Fincher worked together.
There's been a lot of talk about Tom Hardy playing Bond after Craig, if Nolan directs maybe he could be the villain of Bond 25.
Video from On Time Interview. The text article blows it way out of proportion. If you watch the video it's clear he just wants to be with his family and relax rather than think about another Bond movie. I don't hear any words come out of his mouth which is disrespectful to the franchise. The tabloids have really quoted snippets out of context to paint a bad picture. I see NH has come out in Dan's defence
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34514701
Absolutely! Videos are, as a rule of thumb, the way to go with Craig interviews. Every other tabloic seems to take his words out of context. In this interview all we see is an actor who is extremely commited to his character but who is also homesick and tired after an extenuous shooting schedule.
Three things:
1. The source. One should take everything found in the New York Post with a generous pinch of salt, since they have their eye on circulation figures, rather than distilling truth.
2. DC has a very impish way of playing up to the press. Remember before CR when he said that Bond definitely wouldn't be wearing a tux? All this is intended to stir up controversy, which is all grist to mill as far as the upcoming movie is concerned because there's no such thing as bad publicity. He often accomplishes this by making seemingly polemical statements, such as this, when he is really being ironic. Of course the journos who are lapping it up take great relish in taking him quite literally because they get an exclusive story that's going to sell newspapers. Win win.
3. The comment is taken very much out of context. It could be that DC meant that he would rather slash his wrists than do another Bond movie right now because he was being quizzed on the rumour that Spectre was being produced back to back with Bond 25.
Biggest cons of Warner:
Christopher Nolan. That Sam Mendes credit him on presconference can be joke or warning. Also Spectre is 155 minutes. Nolan and Warner like longer movies. Skyfall already has reference to TDK and Lee Smith already work on Spectre.
Copyright. Do you whant to make you comment on Bond 25 trailers or sharing un-released music or documentry. It wil possible be mute.
Promotion. It sucks if not be a real Warner movie. But i whas suprised how good Fox's Kingsman be promotion. But X-men First class flops in my country, not promoted enough. Soundtrack wil be released by Warner like Die Another Day. There first whant to give us 11 tracks before we get 15. With Inception Warner give soundtrack 2 les tracks and those 2 tracks who only can lissen online for a very limited time.
Budget. There easy change things who previously made difrent. Hagrid house remember ? Also since Harry Potter 4 there cut on the budget. I also think J.K. Rowling co wrote Harry Potter 7 with Warner.
Tv screening. You must wait 3 years before movie going to be on tv and for The Netherlands it mean a return on SBS6, whyle finaly Rtl Nederland get them back. Return to no gunbarrel.
We stil waiting on new Superman Bluray set in The Netherlands. We must 5 years before Batman Boxset. Some releases we don't get. No steelbook of Bond 25.
Fair enough. It felt weird reading it.
