And that's going over old ground (I mean Vesper, rather than Tracey).
I have to agree. I do wonder if they will do it, but I guess it depends on what happens with SP and if DC is sticking around. I can't see it happening in SP, it just wouldn't work for me. I do feel like the Vesper story is the perfect modern day equivalent of the Tracy arc. I know some purists decry the change to the ending, but it works for me and does what it does as effectively as it can in the circumstances. It's the most emotional ending to a Bond, for me. Trumping OHMSS.
The other reason I'd be against it is because I always feel like these seemingly innocuous narrative decisions, if not policed properly, serve to set a precedent. I don't want Bond meeting a Tracy or Vesper once or twice an era, if only because there are plenty more stories to tell, but I feel like if they do squeeze in another within the DC tenure, they're basically saying to future directors that it's fair game. There are plenty more facets of the Bond psyche to be explored, without it having to involve 'love'.
Agreed.
Sounds interesting, I may have to read the continuation novels. they may decide to go down the route of Bond getting married again in the films but I think I would prefer it if they left it alone.
