Honestly The man with the golden gun and from Russia with love should be the blueprint for a trilogy of bond films
First film bond is brainwashed and has to figure out which fellow 00 was also brainwashed and stop him from killing M
Second film bond gets deeper into the organizations known as The Sleepers (lame name I know but yeah) we meet Stefanno Spang who does work with them
Third film we find the head of The Sleepers and bond stops the entire organization
Fleming did seem to be creating a new organization, The Group, in TMWTGG, so that could be used.
Perhaps Fleming (and I'm just speculating) was tiring of all the McClory/SPECTRE litigation and was plotting a new villainous organization of his own.
I do think we need a break from Blofeld and SPECTRE.
You're preaching to the choir! I really think TMWTGG opening chapters could be a great PTS and a brilliant way to introduce a new actor. Not sure however about Bond hunting down a fellow 00. It's not a bad idea but I would prefer to see something closer to Fleming's novel: M gives him a last-chance opportunity to redeem himself by assigning him a seemingly impossible mission of killing an international assassin. A nice way to twist the story could be to replace Scaramanga with a female assassin; a female main antagonist could be a great way to distance this new era from Craig.
On the other hand, the story could take inspiration from Horowitz's future novel and directly see Bond infiltrating the organisation that brainwashed him. M could fake his death, allowing Bond to gain the trust of his enemies.
Trouble is, the British are the only ones who don't care if you have them as the villains of the piece - everyone else throws their toys out of the pram as if it's a comment on national character or the real regimes. Imagine the revenue losses if China spat the dummy, etc.
My home country of America is full of criminals. They’re often called politicians. If EON wants a another Felix Leiter centered story, that would be a good place to start.
I know the feeling, Max...
I really like this idea — it would allow a way to "introduce" the character but not make the whole thing an origin a la Casino Royale. Plus it would allow for some connection to the past in some sense, if you wanted to tie whatever the threat was in the many-years later Bond involving his naval days.
I feel they touched on that at least a bit with the Gregg Beam character in Quantum of Solace. Of course there's always scope for more development in that area given how heroes and villains are hard to tell apart these days. It's always a good thing to add nuance and shades of grey to Bond's often black and white binary world. NTTD also featured a bit of this with M being responsible for keeping the Heracles project ongoing despite the risks of it leaking out. It makes the viewer wonder whether M isn't as much of a villain in his own way as Safin.
Agreed. That’s why EON invented SPECTRE, to avoid having Russia as the bad guys. Despite the tendency to have Germans, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans etc as villains
Or rather Ian Fleming invented SPECTRE for the same reason after having the 1950s Bond novels mostly featuring SMERSH and Soviet Russia as the villains's employer.
But the point was to allow a film to have wider appeal by not being political.
We can see by the Living Daylights how fast political moralising can date
Well goldeneye was extremely anti American no idea why but yeah
The plot of the novel itself involves 007 on the trail of a missing micro-dot, where he ends up on an epic mission climbing the world's third highest mountain, in an attempt to rescue the micro-dot from a crashed plane. Needless to say, the British Secret Service isn't the only party interested in retrieving this top military secret and Bond encounters other challenges besides that of surviving the expedition.
It might be interesting to at least take some inspiration for a really great villain.
Was it? I’ve seen the film countless times and unlesss your referring to the CNN line, I don’t see any “Anti-American” sentiment.
Yeah, it's possible you need to be an extremely jaded American to see it this way, first I've heard of this too.
Makes more sense for this film to be "anti-Canadian" I think! Doesn't look too good regarding our Navy and their Admirals.
Anyone who gets offended can harden the ef up.
Alternate titles: Operation Ruthless, Shaken Not Stirred, Smoking Curtain, ''The'' Doubleminded Spy, Risico, For Queen and Country, The Hildebrand Rarity.
Mabey one movie is not enough and should be two or three.
Bond 26 inspyred by:
OHMSS and DAF Blofeld
Dr No connection in FRWL.
Renard Bullet in head from Twine (Metaphor)
Germany as location and plot (The hell above Germany in Spectre)
England, minimal but big in story (Hell above The Crown in Spectre)
New since i watched NTTD:
Argentinia as location (NTTD) as The Switzerland of OHMSS. Link with Germany, als two with The Netherlands. Link with England, but a bit difrent.
Bolivia (Spectre NTTD but then with QOS Bond 26) with a reference to Stockholm syndrome from Twine. As new pretitle scene of the movie. Before i have liked to see a scene where Blofeld get Lucia from Safe house, this i like to see now after title's, in flashback or Lucia already be in Argentinia (her taken be offscreen or short scene).
2 New idea's for start. Inspyred by NTTD and QOS and Yolt again (trowback to when i made fanart about predict China for Bond 23/Skyfall). Hint: The symbol in middle of Argentinia flag. No shooting. Alternate start is that Universal logo turn yellow first (after it turn in the moon in NTTD) with no gunbarrel at all. This is because something (see poster) will shoot on screen before titles. Nerves whole searching. Original first gunbarrel be that it start but then Universal logo start as light opening and that something drive you in to movie. I even consider that thing contuned driving in titles. Like adult take hands child.
Mabey there should have showed this in NTTD
, as contuned of Tom and Jerry theme (3x mouse and Blofeld cats) in Spectre:
Taglines:
Before Paradise Comes Hell (In first place refer to SF titles)
Return line: This is the world's most precious resource, we need to control as much of it as we can (Dominic Greene in QOS)
Directer is rated and this movie R.
Some suport music:
Speculation:
Remour that Walter Bridge returns as writer.
''Bullets For Winter'' be credit as title of Bond 26 for almoost 2 weaks on imdb.com page of Bond 26.
With his massive presence, he owns the role. Due to his age, he films 3 back-to-back movies released over the course of 6 years with a trilogy director such as Christopher Nolan. Elba can own the situation of each scene in the role as 007 takes on cartels which leads him on a massive journey interconnected between many nations from north to south America, and ends up in Asia to find a seedy underworld of human trafficking.
His movies would shed light on major problems that are not discussed enough on the news while at the same time showing how Bond leads his battle.
Guarenteed money-maker for the studios with director-actor talents, the storytelling arc, the shooting schedule to give more time for the producers to take a few years to see who will replace Elba as a young 007. Alternatively, Nolan has worked with Tom Hardy and can definitely make this work as Hardy has a history of being in uncomfortable situations for his movies and playing someone who you sometimes can't tell is the villain or the hero (like Connery and Daniel Craig's interpretations of Bond).
As fans, we need to think like the producers and see what makes the franchise move on strong, as we don't live in an age where one bad film is just a bad film anymore. You can't afford another DAF, TMWTGG, MR, or DAD on both a critical or commercial level.
I find that idea strangely attractive! :)
The villain's creep factor won't be established by a cliche scar, maybe a mask at most but otherwise would be a manipulative charismatic person. Bond is conflicted with following his own mission at work versus tracking down this killer. The subject brings M and Bond closer to one another in terms of building trust with another and also puts Q into a position of questioning the purpose of his work and gadgetry as the undeveloped detective aspect of his products are tested alongside his engineering skills as he learns the two must go hand in hand.
The film should end with Bond not truly finding out if the killer was really acting alone as he is immersed with evidence to the contrary. It would end at the funeral of the killer's last victim.
