I've just had a thought. The Lockerbie bombing wasnt even a year before the release of LTK (Pan Am are even advertised when Bond is at the airport) so wouldn't that sort of plot line be a little risky - especially as the target was intended to be an AMERICAN airliner.
Yep,this is one thing i have always noticed,i remember thinking about it at the time when i saw it in the cinema ,but it seems to be something everyone overlooks or doesnt connect the two,luckily.
I can only presume the fact that nothing actually happens to an airliner,and it being only a sub-plot,is the reason they left it in and didnt cut it.
However,i always wondered if this,maybe in a small way,contributed to the film's bad takings in the US.
Alas,it was too little too late.
I do believe that the great Tiimothy Dalton wanted to do Casino Royale as a b/w period piece. Would have loved that.
I'm sure of this. He's seems too smart to let his tenure drift. I think he'll get out when he either, feels he can't take the character further, or doesn't feel like the writing/direction is up to scratch (ie pre-production).
Wasn't that Quentin Tarantino who wanted to do that with ol' Pierce Brosnan?
I know Tarantino wanted to do CR with Brosnan, I'm not sure about B/w though.
I agree. I like Tarantino's movies but I don't think him and Bond would've clicked. Something just wouldn't be right.
As for Tarantino's films I like Kill Bill 1 and I love Inglorious Basterds but his "crime trilogy" of those first three are still the best.

Yes, but Dalton mentioned it years before QT called action on his first movie. Also, although QT wanted to do CR, he also said that if he didn't do it, it would fail. Yeah, it failed big time QT! I like his early output but he has come to believe his on hype and I don't think a QT Bond would have worked - and please EON keep him away from Bond.
And a Bond film in b/w and period would upset the balance of the whole series.
I'm sure someone could do it as a TV movie or series,SKY maybe,as long as approval is given by EON,which is unlikely.
Tarantino's style would work as good on a Bond movie as "Bourne's" style did.
You're not invited, please stay away.
Care to explain what you mean by this comment ?
It would be great to have Tarantino do a one-off non EON Bond film that's not part of the official canon--like NSNA. That said, for the Craig-era, it wouldn't be a good idea, IMO. You know that it would be full of vulgarities, nudity and violence and would never get the PG-13 rating that a Bond film needs in order to get its huge audience.
Let's hope he was referring to Tarantino
I don't want, or need, any "Tarantino" style of director working on a Bond film. So "Tarantino's" like directors please stay away.
Aaah thats what i thought you meant.....and i agree with you.
Bond and Tarantino do not mix,he would have murdered CR if he directed it.
That's exactly my concern with Tarantino directing a Bond film. Great writer/director. But he's so up himself, he believes he could 'make' a James Bond film. You're not that good Quentin, maybe in his own head.
I agree!
I feel that way about Carver in TND. Graves just came across as smug and annoying to me.
