In some of the recent articles there has been mention of Bond 21 being about Bond's first assignment. What do you all think about this? I think this would be stupid!

[Agent 76]

crap!
that would be awfull!

[BONDFINESSE 007]

send it to the toilet eon and mgm have killed the bond series

[Righty007]

If they go along with this idea, Bond 21 might be called James Bond Junior.

[Johnboy007]

I heard it stars some unknown guy named John Lambert

LLLOOLLLL
that sounds funny...but particular STUPID!

[Athena007]

We don't want to see Bond in "training" ...he's a MAN, he's together, he knows what he's up to. What are they doing... first asignment my .

[BONDFINESSE 007]

lets see maybe we can get aaron carter to play bond and hillary duff can play a bond girl

thats in keeping with what the mtv generation wants

[Roger Moore's Bad Facelift]

Sounds bad. I'd hate for them to keep the series set in modern times but magically have a "reset" button which starts the entire series over with his first mission taking place in 2005 and all the other adventures having been meaningless. That's just dumb. If it's prequel set in the past it may be interesting, but I'd rather they just keep making contemporary Bond films.

agree with you!
NO EARLY YEARS FOR A BOND MOVIE , HE'S GROWN UP/MAN NOT AGENT CODY BANKS MY GOODNESS!

[CommanderBond]

have you noticed since Barbera took over her dads role in EON that the movies have been A) Lacking plot ( B )have had bad writing ( C ) have had bad casting and (D)they have had the worst bond themes ever

i think she should get fired but thats just me but if they take bond all the way back to his first mission then that would take him to Casino Royale right??? But if they take him allllllll the way back then i think its the worst idea ever.

Stupid??
I take it, you didn't grow up with the hit cartoon series, James Bond jr/? I loved that show groiwng up. I have the theme song stuck in my head right now as i type this. I even own a few of the books from my childhood. There was "Live and Let's Dance" and I think "A view to a Thrill" or something.

I think to go back to Bond's first assignment would only work as a completely seperate movie, or tv show.

I thought they'd already done it with 'The Ian Fleming Story', starring 'Jason Connery' as 'Ian Fleming'. It was hinted ( if I remember correctly ) on Bond's first
mission at the end of the movie.

It sounds like a week attempt to do a 'Star Wars' prequel, but it just wouldn't work with Bond, unless it was a totally different film altogether.

Maybe EON are not happy with MGM's decision with the 'Jinx' movie, so they may be still considering a 'Jinx' and James Bond's first mission!.

But I sincerely hope not.


All the best,

Cheers,


Ian

Bond 21 might just be Cody Banks 2.

[Qwerty]

Eek! Not a good idea!

[Agent 76]

Agent Cody Bond or British Agent James Banks?

[Righty007]

Eek! Not a good idea!

Indeed, Agent D.

[Johnboy007]

Bond 21 might just be Cody Banks 2.

Sweet Jesus NO!!!!!

[Qwerty]

Indeed Agent C () That would severly weaken my interest in the Bond films.

[Johnboy007]

T'would remove all of my interest, I have no desire seeing Frankie Muniz as James Bond.

[Qwerty]

I hate that Muniz with a passion.

[Agent 76]

Muniz is a spoiled brat!

Bond's first mission? Doesn't sound too good. But if they were going to go back and do a period piece with Casino Royale... mmm.

[Johnboy007]

I hate that Muniz with a passion.

If i ever met him, my first move would be a good left hook, right to his face!

Having source material(Fleming's novels) provides you with alot of cover! After Goldeneye, the folks at EON have constantly fallen back on old formulas(and plenty of explosions) in order to satisfy today's audience.

I say a re-interpretation of CASINO ROYALE would be the best route to go. Many say it's not doable. If it isn't then incorporate some story elements into the next feature.

Having him go back to the beginning is excessive and unnecessary(it didn't really work in THE SUM OF ALL FEARS) and you run the risk of alienating the audience.

He just seems so arrogant in what I've seen of him, but that's just my personal opinion of course.

[Johnboy007]

The more the merrier.
