Bond 22 - What type of film!

Post by agent english »

Forgetting the issue of Craig as BOND.

What type of film do you guys hope Bond 22 will be like?

So far there is little info, except that location filming could be in the Alpine
area of Europe.

So are you hoping for a more serious down to earth film, say in the mould
of OHMSS for example..or something else.

Look forward to your comments.

If Craig is playing James Bond I don't really give a s**t what tone the film has. I'm not really very interested I'm afraid.

Well, something new is needed, that's for sure.

No more Bourne influences and violent action.

No more 60s clichés as in the Brosnan films.

Maybe make the series more humorous as it was in the 70s? But then a suitable actor would be desperately needed, and maybe really hard to find?

What else could they do to develop the franchise?

Make a true Bond begins with a young actor who is starting out as secret agent?

Make the films period pieces set in the early 60s, but with a different tone than the real 60s Bonds?

I don't have the answer :o

Looks like they've already found the new answer...CR and Daniel Craig!!

Bond 22 MUST pick up where CR left off for it was UNRESOLVED. Eon will be very happy with a Craig trilogy which does little more than show him bruised and battered and deals with his inner demons, as he roams all over the world seeking revenge, ala Connery's Bond with Blofeld from OHMSS to DAF.

It would have been interesting to see Lazenby in DAF!

Forgetting the issue of Craig as BOND.
It's a bit difficult to forget! He will have lots of screen time.

A Bond movie with Daniel Craig playing Bond is rather pointless.

Craig simply has too many shortcomings. :twisted:
