After 4 weeks in Japan, Mamma Mia!($21.3 million) has outgrossed QOS($19.9 million) which has been there 5 weeks now. Head to head, Brosnan's musical flick is more popular than Craig's Bond flick and twice now, an animated film has outgrossed Craig's Bond films in the USA. More food for EON/MGM to ruminate over and decide what to do in 2011.

It looks like Eon will have to make an animated musical Bond film.

I wonder what Miyazaki would do with Bond? Princess Bondonoke anyone?

lol

It'd be interesting to see what they could do with animation..... or not...but you know there would be Bond nerds that would love it

What would you do if Daniel Craig provided the voice though?

Animation is going to become more popular, I think. There have seen several animated movies (Persepolis and Waltz With Bashir, which I saw today,) that got rave reviews. Does that mean EON should try it? Oh HELL no

[stockslivevan]

...Nah.

[katied]

...Nah.

Exactly.LOL

[James]

Never saw that series but from what I've read it isn't fondly remembered.

[katied]

According to the Wkipedia page for James Bond Jr. it was over the top.Ever more so than some of the Bond films

[Kristatos]

I'm not really advocating for an animated Bond here, but just because there was one bad animated Bond-related series back in the 80's (which were a fallow period for animation generally - even Disney sucked), it doesn't mean that no Bond animated series could ever be any good. The Japanese in particular have a long history of producing animation for adults rather than kids.

[katied]

IMO the only way they could do an animated Bond is if it was an unofficial film-without the help of Mike'n' Babs.But that's just me.

Today is Craig's 41st birthday. How old does he really look?

[stockslivevan]

Correction Kris, that cartoon was from the 90s.

It was? I'm sure I remember it being on when I was a teenager, but if you say so.

On our local news they were lol-ing at Jennifer Aniston saying she wants to be a Bond girl.I have to say,I agree.

British director DANNY BOYLE will not take the helm of the next JAMES BOND movie - despite insisting he's a huge fan of the 007 franchise.

The acclaimed moviemaker was reportedly approached by Bond bosses to direct the upcoming sequel to last year's (08) Quantum of Solace after he swept the board at February's (09) Oscars with Slumdog Millionaire.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper, "He has been offered the chance to direct the 23rd Bond film by (Bond producer) Barbara (Broccoli). Everyone on the Eon team thinks Danny would be the perfect addition to the Bond family."

However, despite the modest filmmaker insisting he is "flattered" to be linked with the Bond brand - he has no plans to direct the next movie.

A spokeswoman tells WENN, "While Danny says he always has and always will enjoy the Bond movies he has no plans to direct one. Danny is naturally flattered to be thought of!"

"Choose Bond. Choose a licence to kill. Choose a car that turns intae a submarine...."

[katied]

Boyle directing a Bond film would make Bond nerds happy. His name comes up frequently(along with Christopher Nolan,who also will never do it no matter how much Bond fans fanw*ank it ) when the topic of who should direct a Bond film comes up.

The days of Danny Boyle being willing to direct a James Bond film are long gone.

He passed Bond by a LONG time ago.
