I like Anthony Hopkins

PB's comments about the producers being clueless is the most depressing Bond news I have ever heard. If they don't have a clue, what hope is there for Bond 21?

Here's the way I see it, Eon.

Update the original films for the 2000s. Make the new Goldfinger, the new Thunderball, the new You Only Live Twice, the new On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I am convinced this is the way to go forward. Use the original films as the blueprint. Make all new stories, keep Bond modern fighting modern foes, but use the original films as the magic blueprint. <~~~~~~qouted by moomoo

I say no remakes! <~~~~~~~quoted by agent 76

You both in a way are right. Making those particular movies modern day remakes would be absolutely a no no.

My solution is to modernize but stay close to possible to the CASINO ROYALE novel. this wouldnt infringe on the "remaking" of old movies. But still provide the "remake" moomoo proclaimed.

[Moomoo]

I don't want to see remakes. I said modern films inspired by the old ones. Use them as the blueprints. BUT NO REMAKES. Hope that is clear.

let me finish the above statement i made.

the reason it wouldnt be considered a remake because it was never an official movie.

it wouldnt be a remake like i just explained

[SeaNNy-T.]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Qwerty]

Seanny-T, you are obviously just trying to make this thread always be the first one everyone sees, there's really no need to do that. People will post in it if they see it.

Moomoo

me too. is one of the best options to make the next movies in the franchise.

[SeaNNy-T.]

making a casino royale adaption wouldnt be a remake because it was never a MOVIE! well an officially well done bond franchise movie.

[Qwerty]

Um, yeah it was a movie, although changed in many ways, and not done by the official company, but still a movie, and then still technically a remake.

It all depends how they would shoot the entire film.

I like the idea of it as a springboard, much like The Living Daylights serving as the first 15 minutes of the film.

[CommanderBond]

how about the do a fleming book to its entirety and put a new name on it

[SeaNNy-T.]

what do you mean the 1st 15 minutes of living daylights.

[Qwerty]

What do you mean CommanderBond, which Fleming book exactly?

And most of them have already had many elements or the plot used already, I think.

[Qwerty]

Seanny-T, what I mean is that the short story: The Living Daylights served as the springboard for the film, that is, the story served as material for the first 15 minutes of the film, the rest was thought up by the screenwriters.

[CommanderBond]

i know that they have taken bits and pieces but i like the idea of doing a version of Live and Let Die. Change the name and change some of the characters names and their ocupation (mainly Solitaire) and base a movie of of that.

[SeaNNy-T.]

oh the short story book. i never have read it or heard of it

[SeaNNy-T.]

they can modernize Casino Royale. Are there not Casinos nowadays.

[Qwerty]

Commander Bond: It's a great idea, but I think (just my opinion) that if they've already taken some elements, that should be where they stop with doing it again. And that novel has aged consderably too.

Seanny-T, yes that's the only book for it. That's what I meant by a 'springboard' for the film.

[SeaNNy-T.]

its not like there is much reference to it all taking place during the cold war. although i would love to see bond return to those cold war era days.

[Qwerty]

[CommanderBond]

well base it in modern day time. base it durring the Iraqi stuff to make bond current and up to date.

Are you talking of Casino Royale or Live and Let Die? Either way, then how could it be an adaption of the original novel?

[SeaNNy-T.]

but bond shouldnt be adpted into the current wars of today. he is an authors creation of the cold war which he should remain to a degree.

[JimmyBond]

Bond's been out of the Cold War for ten years now. The Brosnan era films have been hits, MGM, and EON for that matter should not be looking back. Always press forward, that was Cubby's motto.

either or, but mainly talking about casino royale.

[Qwerty]

I wouldn't want to see that novel get any terrorist plots or ideas in it, it's fine the way it is, I think.

[CommanderBond]

well it doesnt have to have a terrorist plot but have a slip of it in there say in the opening scene like the did in EON just to show that bond is current with the times.

[Sensualist]

Well, if they can do what they are doing with Batman (ie, rebooting the series from the beginning) then why not James Bond?  After 40 years, why not go back and do it all again?

...Because, by all accounts, Batman was run into the ground financially and needs re-tooling.

(Those geeky fanaticos who think the series low point was Die Another Day are so out of touch with reality that they really ought to get a life outside this forum. Get a career going. Find some spirituality. Get laid. Create something. Excell in school. Do something other than spending hours and hours and hours on CBn.net in an effort to get the post count into the thousands by next month!)

There are lots and lots of ideas left...and there are a number of threads on these ideas in the archives if one could be bothered looking.

Unbelievable!

The back-and-forth one-line banter in this thread on 're-making' past Bonds by two or three of the newer members is especially ammusing.

Didn't you know that Eon has effectively been 're-making' Bond movies off and on for decades now? Go to the movie released in 1977 and see if you see any similarities to the one released 9 years earlier.
