That would be perfect: MI6 vs. The Hood's Convention.Pierce Brosnan as James Bond and Al Pacino as Bond villain would be just perfect!
Al Pacino could do his Tony Montana impression while Pierce Brosnan tells Pacino's woman to "Say Hello to My Little Friend."

It would be fun to hear him utter those words Bond fans like to hear from the bad dudes: "Goodbye, Mr. Bond."

Age: 60s
Occupation: Doctor
From: Czech Republic
Plan: Crane's objective is to kill top world leaders by 'spiking' their medicine(as seen in the ever so subtle opening, by killing the leader of Austria).
Plot of Film: James Bond must find the chemical agent used to mass produce this bad medicine before Crane and his men do.
Name of Film: "For Queen and Country", because M tells James that "You must do this, 007; for Queen and for Country. There is no easy resolution. If this chemical compound goes into the wrong hands, the world will never be the same."
Wishful thinking. I want the character to have a real Czech last name, but he changed it to 'Crane' do to his love, and study of the beautiful birds. This character is loosely based on a Czech doctor I currently work for, although he is in his 80s.

He would add a bit of gravity to the movie
A return to the bald-headed villain
And he would be cheap as he's just had two flops (Thunderbirds and Suspect Zero)!

Quite similar to the villian in my upcoming fanfic, Johnboy007.Ok, Bond 21 dream villain
20 years at least older than Bond. Is not British, American, Aussie etc. Asian, Russian, South American, doesn't really matter. Has an accent. Has a full army (beyond four people, who are also not from Britain, or British colonies, Commonwealth) of henchman
He's actually Russian, around early forties to mid fifties. A former Admiral from the Russian army who was disbanded during the cold war for reasons of unwanted brutality.
And yes, he has a massive army of Russian militia.

He could do it, IMO.Oscar winning Ben Kingsley

Also remember that Love is required whenever he's hired. It comes just before the Kill.You'd think Scaramanga wouldn't be as cheap of a villain, $1,000,000 a hit, and only one "henchman" and a dwarf.

Although he's apparently not too good at counting, I think this is good news!

I have seen him in the trailers for the dreadful looking Thunderbirds, he does look like a villain, obviously being so in that. It will be interesting to see if this rumor continues.Sir Ben Kingsley says "I would like to make it known, on this program, loud and clear, that I would absolutely embrace with all five of my arms being a Bond villain."

Won an Oscar. Popular Actor. Stared in high profile films. As much as I believe Bond is an area of film to kick-launch an unknown's American film career, Sir Ben is a great choice. But for some reason, I don't think he would be playing a sauve villain.

Kind of reminds me of a physical henchman more.Sir Ben Kinglesy:

The only thing I'd say is he would need a distinguishing feature in the make-up department or a unique character trait, but not one that would create a cliche baddy.
Not sure what.

I'm all for a distinguishing mark to make a return also. You are absolutely correct in that we can't have it be a cliche again, like Austin Powers.I'm delighted Ben Kingsley has read my recommendation for him to be a Bond villain!

I hope so as well.You'd hope they will hold back on the CGI this time. Way I can see it happening after Die Another Day was that they say some of the fan comments and hopefully we can see some good changes this time.

I don't want another Gustav Graves. We need a strong villain to remember.I know we all want Ben Kingsley or other villians, but I don't think it will happen. The villian will be more of a physical threat to Bond as Gustav Graves was.

Yes but they weren't the central baddies.Not the first if you count Elektra, or Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love.
Did anyone ever see a movie called Madam X, with Bette Davis in a Bond villain like role? She was going to sell nuclear missiles to the highest bidder.
I think an older woman like that who can do sinister, or a younger woman who has allowed Bond to seduce her.

Willem Dafoe as Dr. James Malone a billionaire scientist who runs a Tidal Energy company which is becoming a global energy source but secretly ships nuclear weapons around the world. The mission: James Bond stops Malone from detonating nuclear bombs underwater, causing massive tidal waves on major coastal cites.
His henchman will be albino triplets named Tic, Tac and Toe.

I beg to differ. Regarding SPECTRE, you could call Dr. No the main villain in Dr. No, Largo in Thunderball, and thus, Klebb in From Russia With Love.Yes but they weren't the central baddies.Not the first if you count Elektra, or Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love.
