Nice username.
Things are already looking like a 19 release.
I love your sense of humour - dry as sandpaper.
@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 you mean have everyone as Bond in 'B25'? Craig, Cavill, Neeson, Turner, Hiddleston, Stevens, Fassbender, Brosnan, Dalton, Moore, Lazenby, Connery, Hardy, Lewis, Elba, Isaacs?
@DaltonCraig007, yes. Bond will appear to be outnumbered by Blofeld and his forces, until he mentions to Mallory about the "other Jameses" that Dench's M only thinly alluded to once in a private conversation before her death. It turns out there's been endless amounts of James Bonds in MI6, and the name is passed on over and over each time an agent dies or proves ineffective for the job. When he became a rookie agent, Bond was given the name by M as his new identity and main cover, thinking nothing of it, until the truth was told to him much later and the MI6 traditional revealed.
So yes, this Bond 25 would see Dan's Bond teaming up with all the ex Jameses to face SPECTRE head on. The agents would be made up of all past rumored castings and ones that came close but failed to get the role, including Elba, and Cavill, Issacs, Turner, Hiddleston and more, in addition to all the ex film Bonds.
The film would pick on each actor through their agent character in a very self-referential way too, poking fun at their personas in reality. For instance, Turner's Bond was axed because we has too pretty and stuck out too much while on his missions. Hiddleston's 007 began trying to balance spy life while dating a famous American pop star, leading to him spilling the realm's secrets while they both got high one night on her tour bus surrounded by groupies following one of her concerts. Elba's character didn't last very long as Bond, because MI6 had never hired a black man to be a James Bond in the service before, and they weren't sure how the change would be received by conservatives in the government. And so on...
And to think some find Casino Royale 67 wacky!
Thanks!
At 44? Oh.
I thought Hardy already did.
They should get it together & get one out for fall 2018.
Yes, indeed. After 54 years with the franchise slowing down as much as it is, it could very well end with a wimper. Eon needs , yet once again, to up it's game, and at least attempt to get the films out on something of a regular basis. I'm sure Cubby would prefer that.
70s: 5 films
80s: 5 films
90s: 3 films
00s: 3 films
10s: 2 films (thus far)
Looks like a steady trend of 3 films per decade is the best we could hope for these days. Kinda ridiculous, IMO. There's no reason they can't get it to 4.
Agreed. That's a terrible way to manage EON and Bond rights.
And the worst thing is that every decade only grants one good Bond movie (Goldeneye in the 90s, Casino Royale in the 00s and Skyfall in the 10s; I love QoS but unfortunately it is generally regarded as one of the worst entries in the series).
I could live with 3-4 year gaps if that granted us great movies, but even with the longer gaps we get crappy films (both Die Another Day and SPECTRE came out after a 3 year gap).
It's hard to imagine that From Russia With Love and Goldfinger were released within a year of each other - FRWL - Oct 1963; GF - Sep 1964
