It would be good to have Jinx in her own series as a NSA agent without compromising the current Bond series. Halle Berry is the best actress to continue the role of the character of Jinx.

Jinx would need her own supporting characters and the series could be done more like
the Bond played by Roger Moore. I'm thinking of Jinx as an up-dated version of Honey West or Modesty Blaise.

Some of my suggestions for titles to first few movies are:
1. Our Woman Jinx
2. In like Jinx
3. The Jinx Connection
4. Diamonds are for Jinx
5. From Russia with Jinx (or whatever country)
6. For Jinx's Eyes Only
7. The Spy Who Loved Jinx

A film series based on Jinx should be like the Matt Helm or Flint or Moore/Bond.
I'm interested in what others think of my suggestion for a series about Jinx. Maybe
even have Pierse Brosnan make an appearance at the end of the first Jinx film as an
old lover of Jinx, without referring to him as Bond.

Welcome to CBn, ron007. Now, anyone will tell you, how much I love Halle Berry. But, no. That ship left the port, along time ago.

It would be OK, as long as she died. Perhaps Jar Jar Binks could be killed in his own spin-off series too?

Oh dear - someone appears to have never have watched a Bond film in his life...!

This is a wind-up, isn't it? No-one in this world needs to see JAR JAR JINX THE MOVIE....regardless of your less than stunning list of titles....

Nope just make horrible references and copying their titles.

I'm Sorry but this would be plain horrible.

They should reboot the character. Give her some proper background-story and show the audience how she became the strong, witty, Jinx we all know and love.

Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Sean Connery (and Roger Moore). Craig reinvents Bond the way Ian Fleming created the James Bond character.

Jinx is a character of the Bond films and not the literary Bond. Jinx was introduced
in Die Another Day. There is enough mystery behind Jinx to create a series for her separate from the Bond series, with Halle Berry. Keeping Jinx completely separate from the Bond series with tongue & cheek humor. I see Jinx as similiar to the characters Honey West and Modesty Braise.

The only thing the Bond films and Jinx films should have in common is Eon Productions.

I only suggested Pierse Brosnan appear at the end of a Jinx film, because it would be good for humor at the end of the film. Daniel Craig is now the new Bond for the official series.

The official Bond series should remain serious and not get campy with unrealistic scenes. The Jinx film series could go more for humor, without getting too silly.

So far my favorite women in the Bond series have been:
1. Dominoe (Claudine Auger in Thunderball
2. Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) in Moonraker (I liked the book by Fleming better.)
3. Jinx in Die Another Day

I am a serious Bond fan with every Bond novel from Fleming to Benson. I also have every video from Dr. No to Die Another Day. Casino Royale is my first Bond DVD.

It won't happen. Most of the diehard Bond fans hate the character of Jinx. Or they simply dislike Halle Berry.

I think EON should just give the rights to Quentin Tarantino, let him make it, [censored] it up, then let the fans who want it live with it. :D I admit there was a time when I thought a Jinx movie would be awesome, there is a little part of me that still does, but I know in my heart it will be a disaster. So why even try?

Jinx was one of the WORST characters to come down the pike and her delivery of lines makes Stacey Sutton come across like a Mensa Genius. Halle Berry may be an award winning actress but the part that she was given, and written for, detracted and not enhanced the film. Granted, she is part of the Bond canon, but remains, for me, one of the things that ruined the film, rather than making it more enjoyable.

Maybe then he'll shut up about his version of Casino Royale, which would've sucked.
