Besides if Connery had stayed would have been old hairy fat guy.
Danny Devito would take over in CR.
We've come a world away from my intention of removing one insert if I was the editor on Diamonds Are Forever lol :)
I have another couple - Dr. No, FRWL, GF, LALD, TMWTGG all shot in 2.35:1 Panavision.
I've just got a bigger screen to watch my movies on and it's now even more noticeable!
Agreed, although I personally loved when they animated it as with Goldeneye.
More Dalton films, whether it meant taking over earlier for Moore or extending his run into the early 90s, would be the other.
But on a more achievable note, I'd restore all the scenes the censors saw fit to cut and reinstate them for the DVD market. LTK and GE have done this already, more needs to be done with the classics before these scenes are lost forever.
Yeah agreed, modernise it but keept the rifling look like Binder's
I can see why you'd want that. I don't know, I've always quite like the GE score, controversial I know, and I do prefer my Bond scores orchestral and John Barry-esque.
Having said that, if I was to be really honest.......there is one thing I would change at this point............and .............
That is a 'certain song' (lyrics and singer) that we have yet to hear fully with the film credits.
I like your honesty! :) I can see why people don't like it, I was very sceptical when I heard Sam Smith was doing it, really don't like all that X Factor esque fake emotional singing. But I really like it - and my musical diet is worlds away from Sam Smith type stuff.
It'll grow on you ... maybe!
I think that this would be a very good idea and one that would be absolutely achievable and offer up something new to the fans while also not really overtly changing anything or trampling on the artistic vision of the filmmakers, as it wasn't their choice to cut such scenes in the first place.
1. I would have preferred that Spectre be a new entity, independent of Quantum. Perhaps Quantum is now a defunct operation, but with splintered pieces out there for the taking. Spectre has swooped in to pick up those pieces. It could have been established early on (in the Mexico City hotel room) that Sciarra is interrogating old Quantum members, wanting to know the whereabouts of other members, wanting know about moles and previous intel.
2. No Blofeld-Bond connection.
3. In regards to #1 (and I mentioned this in the review thread): perhaps Mr. White was in the hotel room and that is something Bond stumbles upon. He hears their conversation, hears that someone or some thing is looking to assume Quantum's old role. White is maybe being interrogated. During the exchange, Bond hears something that becomes a clue, maybe Sciarra shows White his ring finger (says something like, "This is who I work for"), and this is what gives Bond the idea of grabbing it off his finger during the fight. Who knows. But you get the gist.
4. Eliminate the air bag
5. Establish early on that Denbigh has been dispatched by Spectre to operate as a mole. Trying to make this a big "reveal" is simply insulting. We all knew it, so be up front about it. This would add tension. The audience knows who he is, but M and the rest don't.
6. A little more Hinx.
7. The film's finale needed to take place at the desert lair, somehow, some way.
But most of the film, in terms of settings and general plot, work great. If I think of anything else (major or minor) I'll add them later.
Severine survives and goes back to London.
She releases Silva from the prison, not his laptop, out of blind love for him - her enticing Bond in was all a trap. He then shoots her (gets rid of a loose end) and the film continues as normal.
Would've made it better for me, too, on top of explaining away yet another ridiculous moment in the film. Not sure how they would've justified having Severine logically break Silva out, though, past some hacking she does. Suppose the film would have to allude at that tidbit, too, lest we assume everyone is an "elite hacker" in the Bond world.
It maddens me when people play with and change their films just cause now they have the tech to do it. Now you can all heap on the derision and heat!
Not that hard. A big red 'open the prison' button on the wall would suffice. Then the alarms go off like crazy. Bond and Q are hacking the laptop as in the movie during this.
