What type of Bond film do you think he will make?

What is his style?

Look at his current and past films. I have NO idea what he brings to the table UNLESS he will continue this Haggis driven exploration of what makes Bond's mind tick. Other than that, what action film experience does he have? Also, IF 'Aintitcoolnews' has possibly scooped the title of Bond 22 to be THE PROPERTY OF A LADY, how do you like that? Could The Bourne Mimicry be camouflaged successfully as TPOAL? If so, who is the lady in question, Vesper? What is the property Bond desires?

That was supposed to be the title of the third Dalton film. Didn't EON say that the title of Bond 22 wouldn't be taken from Fleming, though?

They also said James Bond would be 28 in Casino Royale. Look how that turned out.

How reliable is Aintitcoolnews? For me, the title envisions Kristina Wayborn falling over the railing with the Faberge egg. It is also now mentioned here as well: http://www.canmag.com/nw/8901-bond-22-property-lady Are we getting closer to the true name of The Bourne Mimicry lads?

I think they said the 'storyline' wouldn't, but not necessarily a title. It is time for them to unveil it already.

I'm still hoping the title for 22 will be Risico.

Didn't they deny that though several months back when asked? It seems Haggis has tossed out his rewrite of Bond 22, stating he finds it harder than doing CR. This must have rattled things up at Everything Or Nothing, don't you think?

Lazenby was 29, but I do not think Eon ever considered such a thought for CR.

I always felt Lazenby looked older than 29, but not in a bad way.

Yeah i always thought he was in his mid thirties, i dont know if anyone knows this, apologies if you do but lazenby post Bond carear went on to star in few chinese kung fu movies displaying his martial arts prowess and a few soft core emanuelle films.

Eric Idle wanted him to play Jesus in Life of Brian, purely because he wanted to be able to put "George Lazenby is Jesus Christ!" on the movie poster, but Lazenby had other commitments.

I wonder what other commitments he had?

Lazenby as Jesus the mind boggles

would have been funny though

Probably the kung-fu and soft-porn movies mentioned above. Dunno why anyone would turn down Brian for that, perhaps he wasn't a Python fan.

He seems to have had bad advice thoughout his carear, either that or he let his ego get in the way

I agree. I was surprised to find out his real age for OHMSS, for he looked more mature, in age.

Paul Haggis has binned his Bond 22 script and started again. I'm not a great fan of Haggis having such influence over Bond. I find his work very humourless and I dislike the way he's rewriting the mythology of James Bond. I'll stick my neck out and say that Bond 22 will not be a barrel of laughs or much fun for traditional cinematic Bond fans.

Post by **bjmdds** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 10:29 pm

You won't have to stick your neck out that far James, for I agree with you. Haggis' view of what a Bond film SHOULD be are not in step with a lot of us here I would bet.

Post by **James** » Sat Oct 20, 2007 2:23 pm

I don't think they make 'James Bond films' anymore. If Craig was playing James Bond in CR I either missed something or Jeremy Beadle is back.

It seems Eon put them on hiatus since November 2006,and will continue as is, until the Bourne craze subsides.
