1) Kleinman's redesign (GoldenEye to Die Another Day).
2) A tuxedo.
3) A mixture between the JB Theme & YKMN.
4) At the beginning of the film, as usual, after the dots.
5) Kleinman's GoldenEye to Die Another Day blood (altough I found the Casino Royale one is more realistic)

1. What Design would you like for the Gunbarrel itself?

Well, I LOVED the one in the CR teaser. Which is a mixture of the old Connery with the new Craig.

2. What would you like Craig to wear in the Gunbarrel?


A tux would be good but its too played out. I'm all for open-necked, and even more for the three piece (I think its very popular nowadays, I love wearing a three piece myself). But what I'd really like to see is him without a jacket, instead have him wearing a shoulder holster, no tie. I think that would be iconic and more in line with Craig's portrayal of Bond.

3. What Music would you like for the Gunbarrel?

JB theme, BLARING!!! Like the good old days. Its been a while.

I) I'd like to see a Klienmann-esque gunbarrel, but not like the ones we've seen before. I think the GE-DAD one was a little too reflective, and the CR one had twenty-six rifling grooves when no such gun exists.

II) A three-piece suit; maybe the one from the end of CR. I think the tuxedo, while certainly impressive, doesn't quite fit in with the image of Craig's Bond for some reason. He's a little rouger around the edges than his predecessors, and I think a three-piece suits him better. Mind you, I don't exactly have an eye for fashion.

III) The James Bond Theme, but I think it should be done a little differently: start off with the low-key stuff until such time as Bond shoots. Then cue the orchestral sound.

IV) There's no number four, but I'm adding one relating to how I'd like the actual gunbarrel to play out. I'd love to see Bond come in with a casual, almost arrogant rolling gait as if he's got all the time in the world, but turn and shoot very quickly. As the blood trickles down the screen, he should eject the spent round a la the Dryden killing, already with his attentions somewhere else.

V) There is no number five. Feels like there should be, though.

1. What Design would you like for the Gunbarrel itself?

A brand new design, that still keeps the spirit of the image, but does something interesting and new with the concept (ala CASINO ROYALE). I'm sure MK12, with their new set of eyes, could produce something pretty cool.

2. What would you like Craig to wear in the Gunbarrel?

An open-necked shirt with business suit, much like he seems to be wearing throughout the bulk of QUANTUM OF SOLACE. It's the perfect CraigBond image.

3. What Music would you like for the Gunbarrel?

The Bond theme. It should be bold, brassy, and intense, but framed in some unfamiliar way that makes it stand out.

4. How would you like to see the Gunbarrel to play out?


His walk should be Craig's typical panther-like strut, and the spin and shot should be as close to the one from CASINO ROYALE as they can get it.

5. What blood would you like to flow down the screen?

New design to go with the new gunbarrel.

Design-wise I'd like (and it will be) a whole new design. Has to be coupled with the Bond theme, but I'd like a newer, less retro spin on it. And have him wear the black suit with black necktie that looked so cool in the CR credits sequence.

The James Bond Theme.

Surprise me, and I mean that in several ways. I always felt like I could've shot Pierce before he got me. Make me feel like I just got owned.

Kleinmans Casino Royale Blood.

1. What Design would you like for the Gunbarrel itself?

New design, not depending on CGI, e.g. proper filming through the inside of a gun barrel or something like that.

2. What would you like Craig to wear in the Gunbarrel?

The open neck dinner jacket setup. A full DJ with bow tie seems too stuffy for Craig.

3. What Music would you like for the Gunbarrel?

The James Bond Theme.

4. How would you like to see the Gunbarrel to play out?

He walks, he turns, he shoots. I don't really care if he drops to one knee or whatever.

5. What blood would you like to flow down the screen?

Completely New Design. Keep it real but stylish.

1. What Design would you like for the Gunbarrel itself?

I would love the see Craig in the new Gunbarrel design from Casino Royale.

2. What would you like Craig to wear in the Gunbarrel?

An open necked Dinner Jacket like in Casino Royale theatrical poster. Complete with an undone bow tie around his neck.

3. What Music would you like for the Gunbarrel?

A Mysterious Bond theme, Like Licence to Kill or Silence and just the sound of Bond's footsteps right up untill he shoots.

4. How would you like to see the Gunbarrel to play out?

Bond walks as usual, at the same time he's screwing a silencer onto his Walther PPK he turns and fires. Bond loweres his gun and walks out of shot.

5. What blood would you like to flow down the screen?

Kleinmans Casino Royale blood would be really cool.

Kleinman's Casino Royale design, or as close as they can get and still make it fit the traditional walk and turn.

2. What would you like Craig to wear in the Gunbarrel?

A suit and necktie.

3. What Music would you like for the Gunbarrel?

A remixed Bond theme, like in Licence to Kill.

As natural and realistic as possible, in keeping with Craig's portrayal of Bond.

1. What Design would you like for the Gunbarrel itself?
Not sure, but I think a hybrid between Binder's design and Kleinman's Casino Royale design would be interesting. A mix of the old and the new.

2. What would you like Craig to wear in the Gunbarrel?
The three piece suit he wore at the end of Casino Royale. I think Craig's outfit in his gunbarrels should change to parallel the evolution of his Bond. He wore a jacket as the unexperienced Bond in CR; he should wear a three piece suit as the more experienced, but still rough around the edges Bond in QoS, and a tuxedo as the most experienced Bond in future films.

3. What Music would you like for the Gunbarrel?
The James Bond Theme. It'll hopefully sound something like Rich Douglas' gunbarrel music. (http://debrief.comma...showtopic=47959)

4. How would you like to see the Gunbarrel to play out?
The usual; he walks, turns and fires. I don't care what his firing pose is, as long as it's more interesting than Brosnan's.

5. What blood would you like to flow down the screen?
Something between the Brosnan era blood and the Casino Royale blood.

I agree with Harmsway. I actually believe that MK12 will put together something new and different for the gunbarrel and that the music will be like a jazzier version of LTK.

1. What Design would you like for the Gunbarrel itself?

A Brand New Design.
Nothing drastic, just MK12's updated version of the classic style. I didn't like the look of the barrel in CR.

2. What would you like Craig to wear in the Gunbarrel?

I like the idea of using
The Three piece suit he wore at the end of Casino Royale.
But I don't know, it might seem a bit awkward.

3. What Music would you like for the Gunbarrel?

The James Bond Theme.

4. How would you like to see the Gunbarrel to play out?

No preference.

5. What blood would you like to flow down the screen?

Kleinmans Brosnan Era Blood.
Or as close as MK12 can get. I also didn't like the look of the blood in CR's.

1. What Design would you like for the Gunbarrel itself?

I think Binder's version looked the best (particularly Dr. No through Goldfinger), but since that's old school (non-computer generated) it probably won't be done. In that regard then I would go with a new design since I found Kleinman's gunbarrel too shiny.

2. What would you like Craig to wear in the Gunbarrel?

Either a tux or a suit and tie. Both would be fine with me, but unlike what some others have said, I would have the tie tied.

3. What Music would you like for the Gunbarrel?

Some sort of version of the James Bond Theme.

4. How would you like to see the Gunbarrel to play out?

The traditional entrance -- the dots run across the screen which turn into a gunbarrel as Craig walks in and once it gets to the middle he turns and fires. Whether he keeps the coat flip is fine with me as long as there is a subtle difference in his firing stance/gun arm from all the variations that have gone before.

5. What blood would you like to flow down the screen?

I really haven't minded any of the blood versions so any would be fine with me. But for the sake of picking one, I'll go with Kleinman's Brosnan blood.

1. What Design would you like for the Gunbarrel itself?

I think it'd be the best choice to go with the new Casino Royale's 28 rifling barrel. It's incredibly slick, and I feel that if they went back to the Pierce style it'd be a step back. Something slick like the new gunbarrel, but still operating like the old style (start of the film, panning across the screen).

2. What would you like Craig to wear in the Gunbarrel?

My top choice would be the three piece from the end of CR. It's different, but also ties in with the last movie, and would instantly get me into the movie knowing this is a direct sequel to the last movie.

I wouldn't mind a regular business suit - that'd be quite cool, and neither a tux, but would preferably wish to see the three piece.

3. What Music would you like for the Gunbarrel?

A new, remixed version of the Bond theme - not too loud or intense. I wouldn't mind, for the first part for DC to be walking on with no music playing at all - just the sound of his footsteps as he walks on, and after he fires the bullet, the music begins blarring. It'd be, once again, different and quite dramatic.

But otherwise, I'd be absolutely satisfied with any version of the Bond theme.

4. How would you like to see the Gunbarrel to play out?

I think I'd like a turn from DC similar to his CR turn, legs bent - one handed.

5. What blood would you like to flow down the screen?

Definitely either the CR blood or something even more attune to this style. I loved the realistic blood. It was really very cool - but also stylized.

That's a great thought, but isn't it a little long? He needs some time to put the silencer in the gun!

1. What Design would you like for the Gunbarrel itself?
A brand new design. I want it to be special, because it's actually a restart for Bond.

2. What would you like Craig to wear in the Gunbarrel?
Either an open-neck tuxedo or the suit he wears in the teaser poster.

3. What Music would you like for the Gunbarrel?
The Bond theme plain with no remix.

4. How would you like to see the Gunbarrel to play out?
Craig walks holding the silenced PPK in his hand(90 degrees angle) and shoots.

5. What blood would you like to flow down the screen?
Brosnan era blood.

I can't agree with any of the above. I would like something with that is the vein of Connery's earlier films. That was the perfect suit for a gunbarrel.

I don't get it. The gunbarrel is supposed to be Bond's first kill. We saw it at the beginning of CR. Therefore, it's already shot, it's already there. It's 007 firing at the guy in the toilets.
The only thing than can change from now on is the graphics, not the actual shooting. It's done. It's over.

I notice quite a few people have suggested silence before Bond fires. Why not, instead of that or the Bond theme, some unusual sound effect that nevertheless fits the theme of the movie, as in Dr. No? Maybe, partially in reference to the PTS of CR, a subtle "drip-drip" or even running water. The Bond theme could even have that motif worked into it. Then QoS opens with a shot of Mr. White's lakeside villa.

I know it's not going to happen, but that's the kind of experimentation that would make me confident about the film from the start.

No, the gunbarrel is an iconic visual motive to open a Bond movie with. Sure, Casino Royale integrated it into the PTS, but that doesn't mean every future gun barrel has to be constrained by that idea.

I would definitely support an experimental approach to the sequence such as what you're describing here. I also quite like the idea of having the sequence completely silent with the exception of Bond's footsteps before the Bond theme begins blaring when Bond turns in the gun barrel. Both approaches would be very interesting and different approaches to a sequence that has been more or less the same for the last 20 films or so (with, obviously, a few minor exceptions along the way).

I don't look at it that way. To me, it was just a nifty way to lead into the titles in Casino Royale.

In any case, in all the others at the start of each film, he is walking and dressed differently (and not in a toilet!).
