Actually, I would take your version over the crap movie we got, minus Elektra coming back to life. I know you were going for a whole 006 thing, but it just doesn't work for some reason.



Ever wonder how Die Another Day would have turned out had it been a little less over-the-top and followed proper continuity? Sure, it's just speculation, but just imagine what might have been! :D

Probably wouldn't have made as much money at the box office, the producers would not have been happy about it, and they would have actually told Brosnan that his services weren't required anymore.


Some aspects are good and "less stupid", but I think resurrecting a dead character from a past movie was a mistake. Also for those fans who hadn't seen THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, the impact would have been lost. I'd be interested to hear what sort of action sequences you would incorporate to replace those you have omitted.

Three comments that aren't one hundred percent positive and that voice complaints about your draft. You come up with alot of ideas.Not everyone is going to like every single one.There's nothing wrong in admitting that.

Well, let me see if I can explain and clear up the confusion...

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because uh some people out there in our nation don't have maps and uh I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for.

There, any questions? :D

Right alongside William Shakespeare and good ol' Fleming himself, I presume. :D

Continuity isn't really that important, but even if you wanted to develop it, this was the wrong way to do it. Bringing Elektra back is just nonsensical... M was right besides her dead body. Do you think anybody let that body of their sight? That MI6 didn't collect it? And if her body went missing, why wasn't anyone at MI6 concerned about that?

I think this is better than the real one. Most things are better than DAD. I have to say I like this rewrite quite a bit, although bringing Elektra back was not that spectacular. DAD needs just brand new villians with a brand new everything, pretty much. It is alot more realistic, though, which is very nice.

Though I agree that the major twist could've been developed more, as far as originality goes, I think I would still rather see this version. Nice job.
