Classic Bond Forum

Lienz cossacks was historical fact neither nor irreverent to the cold war. Just a back drop for the why of a characters motivation. Who could of imagine a grandfather being tortured by the British Empire in Kania 80 years ago could have political implications today. Ian Fleming asked them to make su...

Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry wrote:Seems strange that Eon had success with the cheapo thriller CR (although they spent $600 million promoting Craig's mug) and then spent a fortune on QOS.

Casino R budget fell far on the cheap side. The Casino in Montenegro was too cheaply done.

Cubby Broccoli had the golden rule of keeping Bond looking forward his daughter killed this idea. She rebooted and yet didn't as a result she has very little room to go with Daniel Craig's Bond more likely than not will be restarted once more. I don't believe Cubby Broccoli's rule was not against te...

I am concerned about what they are doing with this film. Are they doing a weird bookend story where Skyfall is the end of Bond career and Casino Royale the beginning with the rest left up in the air. If Skyfall is successful they may go back to fill in the Quantum trilogy. I don't understand why Bon...

:lol: Ok Craig haters. You all win. I'm convinced now Craig is a miserable git now too. You've worn me down...... :skull: As for McQueen, he was the king of cool. There is a passing resemblence between the two actors, but I agree Craig doesn't have the same swagger and coolness that McQueen natural...

This kind of news is disheartening. EON's new motto is "We always put the money on the screen, but my god have you seen the price of jet fuel?". I do not think they have put the money on the screen for a long time now. Die Another Day had a few locations that felt exotic and exciting but ultimately ...

Sounding more and more like James Bond the Staycation. Seriously how much can it cost to get a few shots of somewhere warm and exotic?

On Her Majesty's Secret Service has to be Ian Fleming's best books.

Its good to see some new posters here. Reading 'BJ's' and 'Ale's' posts....its clear to me that they now see Babs as some sort of Medusa character. A piece of advice when you go into EON's offices with a sword..........remember not to stare in Babs eyes, or you will turn into a stone statue of DC. ...

Unless "field agent" is misdirection for the Miss Moneypenny rumour mongers. It could be, but like I said, that's just pure speculation. It *could* be that the whole press conference is misdirection and that James Bond will actually be played by Carrot Top in Skyfall , but there's no real reason to...

Unless "field agent" is misdirection for the Miss Moneypenny rumour mongers. I hope she is only a Bond Girl who sleeps with Bond.

Graham Rye on Twitter: 'Ben Whishaw as Q? They must be [censored] joking! SkyFall is beginning to sound much TOO clever for its own good! 'Classic Bond' I think not.' He might be on to something. I think they want to put a twist on the 50 years the Bond legend. I am not sure the team they have is c...

It is sounding more and more like Moneypenny & Q Begins than Bond 23. I hope this Eve character is not Moneypenny, first off her name is supposed to be Jane Moneypenny. The way Naomie Harris talks about the job since she won it is apparent to me she thinks this is longer term than a one time Bond Gi...

The Bond Girl dumping 007 for Q?

I have a big problem with this. Q of the books not much to go on there, my God Q of the movies there is so much to go on it is not funny, a younger man will fundamentally change the dynamics. This in concert of the rumor Agent Eve later Miss Moneypenny is the first conquest of the movie is enough to...

There was an interesting interview with Dame Judy Dench in one of the British Sunday papers today............Dench said she likes Craig as Bond, but her favourite was Pierce Brosnan, and she says she misses him. Thought you people might like that. :) EA Damning in its own way I suppose. I do think ...

Reviewing all of the information in the available about SKyfall some of it still rumor, with all of the rumors confirmed at the press conference it is harder to take them lightly. I am more than a little concerned they are about to commit several fatal errors. Moneypenny: Lets say this "Eve" is the ...

Slightly too obvious the road they want to go down. I do not like them getting another Bourne alumni.
