Craig's Gunbarrel: Redux

[stockslivevan]

Let's cut the bulls**t and actually discuss. It's been confirmed Craig is getting the signature gunbarrel at the very beginning of the film. Bob Simmons did the walk, jump, shoot. Connery did the walk, swing, shoot with one hand in the air. Lazenby did the crouch. Moore swung slower than my grandma holding with both hands. Dalton swing and shoot. Brosnan extremely stiff with zero style. I personally liked the turn and shoot maneuver in the CR gunbarrel, but since he'll be walking he can't do that so he'll have to come up with a different move. If to keep that spin, perhaps the walk, a quick 270°and shoot? Might work if done right? I dunno. Maybe even reuse an earlier maneuver.

I'll tell you what happens. Daniel Craig will walk into the middile of the gunbarrel from the right. Then he will turn and shoot into the camera. His latest opus will begin. What more is there to say?

Wrong thread, 007.

I personally think the turn and shoot will look similar to CR's, but with the addition of him walking, and the removal of the public bog from the background. Edited to add: I hope they go back to a more traditional style for the gunbarrel itself. Me no likey the CR gunbarrel with the insane amount of rifling and the 3D blood.

Agreed.

What more is there to say?

His wardrobe for one thing. Will he wear the usual tux that started from TSWLM or will he go back to the old way wearing a suit? I prefer the suit.

He seems to prefer suits, so you may get your wish.

If it were up to me I wouldn't bother with the gun barrel.
At all.

If purists get upset, well it wont matter. Not to Babs and Batboy. They already cast a man unsuitable for the role and changed concept of the entire series to suite him.
If there was a compliant I'd say Quark is a continuation of CR and a new gun barrel was not necessary.
I don't think they should bother with the Gunbarrel, they screwed up the concept last movie. No reason (yet) to go back to the gold standard.
