Do you think the production on Bond 23 would be slowed down and/or pushed back while Eon Productions is working on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in 2009?

I can see some cross-over stuff happening here.

Q:- "Now pay attention, 007. Your new car....Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"

Bond bursts into song.

I was thinking the same thing, except without the song. :tup:

What I'm hearing through my secret official sources is that they're combining them into one film called "Chitty Chitty Kiss Kiss Bang Bang." Apparently, upon completing QoS, Daniel Craig will be taking singing lessons for his part in the film.

Seems like something that would fit well in the '67 version of Casino Royale.

I think this is all rumour and spoeculation. If true i wouldn't mind. I'm not going to see it I dislike musicals. Almost as much as Ernst Stavro Blofield hates marches (LOL)


I wish them much succes with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang redue (if it is true) I never saw the first oen and i'm not seeing the remake.

Why should they do this. "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" would never be as successfull as ab Bond movie. And why the hell they want to do a remake?

I'm guessing that the recent stage version of Chitty did well enough to warrant discussions of remaking the film version.

And with all of the films in that genre recently released or about to "Willy Wonka", "Dr Imaginum's Planetarium", "Lord Peddiput's Day Off", "Spiderwick Chronicles 2: Wrath of Khan", etc. ad nauseum - they decided to get a piece of the "family friendly period fantasy wackiness" pie.

Because it's their project to do with whatever they want, that's why. And who says it wouldn't be as successful as a Bond film. If they make a UNIVERSAL rated film, the audience demographics are wider than any Bond film.

Good luck to them.

I suspect that a CCBB movie would rely more heavily of people outside of the normal EON group - so MGW and BB wouldn't be as involved as in a Bond film.

I would beg to differ. CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG was a project dear to Cubby Broccoli's heart (he made the original as a film for his kids, particularly Barbara). She would be VERY involved, believe me.

Not sure if this is "proof" per se, but I think this topic grew out of the one I started just over a week ago, see:

Good luck to them.

At this point, though, they may be facing an uphill struggle. A lot of recent non-animated/CGI big-budget films aimed at a kid/family audience have underperformed such as The Golden Compass, Charlotte

Whoever thinks Sean Connery can act really needs to think about him for a while.


I am not too sure what the revelance of this is?

And Are you suggesting that Sean actually tries to change his accent? :tup:

Inadvertantly carried over material from another post where I was quoting someone else.:tup: Fixed it. Let it not be thought that Turn has any doubts about Big Tam's acting ability.

I know,right!There's a reason CCBB is only shown on TV infrequently(I've only seen it on US TV a handful of times-I dunno about the UK).Why subject a whole new generation to it?

Did anybody say whether it's actually a remake? The book is a very different animal from the movie. The '06 CR had nothing to do with the '67 version, despite both ostensibly coming from the same source material; the new Chitty could be the same. Fleming certainly didn't write a musical.

The book is a LOT different than the movie,IIRC.


Yeah,it totally could be a reboot of the original CCBB :tup: Hey,if Bond can do it,so can CCBB! They can bring it into the 21st century.

Yeah, they'll remake the remakes.

In 3008, people will say:

"Hey, did you see the new Willy Wonka? It doesn't live up to the Depp version."

LOL, yep. In fact, I think they'll be saying that in 2048, never mind 3008.
