If there was one past James Bond 007 film you could choose Bond 21 to "be like" (as in style, plot, anything of that sort), which would it be and why?

Example: I want Bond 21 to be another From Russia With Love.

[Righty007]

I want Bond 21 to be another GoldenEye.

[royalmile]

I'd say something in a FRWL vein would be great.

It's time we had a spy movie again, just as long as it's not a mere rehash or self-parody. And as long as it doesn't take itself too, too seriously or try way too hard...

Those are big shoes to fill....

[hrabb04]

I want Bond 21 to be another Casino Royale...it's time for another movie with a clapping seal.

Seriously, I want Bond 21 to be another From Russia, With Love....sex, brutal, rapidly-paced violence, and sharp wit. Bring it on!

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

I happen to be watching FRWL right now... I am going to jump right in on that bandwagon. I'd love another FRWL, plenty of action (some good hand to hand stuff, too), a beautiful woman who isn't an annoying rocket scientist or Janie Bond and a nice solid espionage plot.

Although, since Campbell is directing, I wouldn't mind another Goldeneye - whatever happens I just don't want another story where there's some kind of personal connection to Bond and villian or CGI surfing.

I want Bond 21 to be another : Goldeneye

[Bond_Bishop]

I want Bond 21 to be a new...


well a mix between From Russia With Love and Thunderball. Sexy, thrilling, a big action scene and very much spy work. not a Spider-Man in custome movie that Sony want it to be

Licence to Kill, OHMSS, or FRWL.

[Johnboy007]

I want Bond 21 to be another The Living Daylights

But something entirely originally would be better

[Dalton]

I'd have to say either: Licence To Kill or The Spy Who Loved Me.

I want Bond 21 to be another... You Only Live Twice

On the screen as well as off it. For You Only Live Twice alot of the regular Bond crew like Richard Maibuam and Ted Moore were given a rest with some new people like Roald Dahl and Freddie Young brought to give the film something different.

Time to bring in a few new folk for Bond 21, keeps things from getting to "samey". I already know what David Arnold, Vic Armstrong, etc can do, I'd like to see what other people could do in those positions, if only for a one off.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

I would like Bond 21 to be another From Russia With Love.

Even though we prolly won't get it.

[Seannery]

I would like Bond 21 to be like the best Bond film--Goldfinger. A perfect mixture of story, humor and the fantastic. You can throw in a dash of Thunderball spectacle too and a tiny bit of the antic wit and invention of Octopussy.

Yes, yes, YES!

[Tarl_Cabot]

I want Bond 21 to be like a cocktail of TLD and LTK: The toned down spy genre story(but not a panic driven attempt to be exactly like Jason Bourne), score and class of TLD with the grit and action execution of LTK; with a human and flawed Bond but who maintains his dignity and masculinity and actually looks like a secret agent and not an aging swinger at a gay bar,and with a script for Bond #6 to shine like a star should.

[neversaynever]

I want Bond 21 to be another The Living Daylights

Me too. Unpopular, I know. But maybe this time they could get it right...

[Janus Assassin]

I don't want CGI in another Bond film. Honestly... if you need CGI to enhance a part... Well I guess that the part couldn't be done in real life. I would like to see a Bond movie with grit. Also if Bond 21 had a theme, I would like to see a sand-Egyptian theme to it, such as ice was Die Another Day

[Loyal Terrior]

Another GoldenEye.

[00-FAN008]

I want Bond 21 to be another GoldenEye

I want to be Simon LeBon.

[brendan007]

I want Bond 21 to be another Octopussy. A good serious plot mixed with bikini clad women, exotic locations and naughty jokes (done in the sophisticated English way of course, not the trash P&W have been throwing out).

Umm, the sophisticated English way?

Do you mean like that trashy post-coitous little exchange between Magda and James when she says "I need re-filling".
Or such as when James asks Q if he's "having problems keeping it up?"

Sophisticated. English. Way. -Sure.

Whatever you say

Go on, try and tell me that those double entendres don't sound like vintage P & W. You and I both know that they are really no more lewd than "big bang theory" or "christmas only cums once a year".
In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the line "I need re-filling" is about the most ribald thing in all of the James Bond films.

but not a panic driven attempt to be exactly like Jason Bourne

Do you honestly think EON is worried about, or trying to emulate the Bourne Movies?

There is no evidence to that, and I really don't think so, is just new Bourne fans who think 007 movies should be like that, but EON? This is not like the time after OHMSS (a fine film, but one that made EON panic, thinking it might end the series) or after LTK (another of my favorites, but that still worried EON, as they were losing U.S. audience).

DAD was very popular and so was Brosnan, us purists might not think that, but to the general public it was. If EON now want a change, is not because of the Bournes of the business, but because a "back to basics" film is the only way to go. Something similar to OHMSS after YOLT, and FYEO after Moonraker; and for this they need a new Bond, new blood, and new life.

To the 007 series Bournes come and Bournes go...

But Back to topic:

I want Bond 21 to be another... a TLD ( a real spy thriller with intrigue), mixed with Goldeneye (a high tech elegant spy movie with cool action), with a dash of the eccentricity of TSWLM. (Without the equal female spy)

Cheers!

[Double-0 Six]

I'm hoping for a mix of the best bits of:

Goldfinger (classic villain)
The Living Daylights (realism, get rid of the sci-fi stuff)
GoldenEye (inventive action sequences)
Tomorrow Never Dies (musical score).

All with some intelligent dialogue, witty remarks (not childish innuendo) and more Bond-ness than you can shake a stick at!

[Gabe Vieira]

I would like Bond 21 to be another: NOTHING! That's the problem! Bond 21 should not "be another." It should be new, nothing we have seen before in a Bond film. It should be slow paced with low action and have a dark atmosphere that is not created by the theam of revenge or political issues created just for the film, but by real world issues. We need to see the real world in a Bond film. No expensive stunts, no big explosions, no stupid-big action sceens, no female Bond, and a simple plot. We need something new. The villain should not be trying to take over the world, or any part of it. His motive should be simple and his plan should not have to take forever to carry out. He does not need to have any hulking henchman. He does not have to have dozens of nuclear missiles or an all-powerful WMD. In fact, he should not have to physically destroy anything. He doesn't need to black mail anybody, or create a huge conspiracy. He just needs to get the job done. Every part of the plot should be known except what the villain is planing to do. Bond should not have to be used as a tool to uncover small parts of the plot, then put them together for us at the last minute. And the Bond girl should be almost non-existant. She doesn't need to tag along everywhere Bond goes. She should be important to the plot of the movie, but not affect it in any way. Bond should not have to save her all the time.

By the end of the week, I'll give you an example of what Bond 21 should be.

[Bon-san]

I'm hoping Bond 21 is not a look backward. I'm hoping for an unabashed look forward. This doesn't mean leaving behind classic and essential elements of the series. We all know intrinsically what the crux of Bond-dom is, so it should kind of automatically be included in the project. But I would be very pleased if the helmers of Bond 21 just went for it and gave their best efforts to make a ballsy, adventurous, interesting, exhilarating James Bond film. Whatever that would end up being, in terms of a comparison to a former film, I'm not sure.

But I would very much like to see the filmmakers be brave.
