Loomis, I'm sure you realised I was joking.
Just as I realise you are too.

Phew.

Now seriously, I think we could get Nick Nack in Bond 23. If, that is, he wants to leave his restaurant in the fashionable Salitun district of Beijing...

I've heard word that Desmond Llewelyn's son and Lois Maxwell's daughter are to reprise their parents roles....following on from the success of a similiar casting coup in LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE, a hit TV British comedy amongst the cyber generation.

Liking these ideas very much,may I make a suggestion?
Man With Wine Bottle should be accompanied in the finale of the next film with Double Taking Pigeon. A poignant wordless exchange cutting between MWWB becoming ever more incredulous and draining bottle after bottle,and DTP eventually becoming a freeze frame close up. Final shot is DTP flying off in slow motion,accompanied by half speed belch from MWWB. It would be a devastating moment,a real showstopper enabling the audience to leave the auditorium without any trouble at all.

[Quantumofsolace007]

On a serious note I'd like Bond 23 to be sort of a who done it?


The Hildebrand Rarity

Pre title Sequence Motor Cycle Chase similar to the short stor from a view to a kill

Title

Main plot Post the events of Quantum of Solace M sends bond on a mission to see a possible leader of quantum. the person get's murdered on his yacht and Bond has to figure out who killed him why and what his next target is before it's too late.

[Lebowski951]

It's been stated previously but I really think the next Bond outing should reflect more on Bond as a character. I mean, of course, as a man who thoroughly enjoys gambling, is an avid motoring enthusiast (perhaps favoring a car that is not brand new in the next film), and knows about the finer things in life (food, drink, and women of course).

I think that's why Casino Royale was such a great film (in my opinion) and why QoS was a disappointment(not opinion. Fact.).

I don't remember who created this poster but it had a tag line that I think really works:

THE HILDEBRAND RARITY

no one knows what it is
where it is
or what it does
but bond must find it
before they do


For some reason this tag MAKES the title. I think if the writers followed this the title/film would be outstanding

[DamnCoffee]

It was created by a very talented artist by the name of RNK007 aka Gobi1.

I agree if they are going to use The Hildebrand Rarity (a dream come true for myself and a few others on this board) then they should embrace it's mysterious nature.

1. Gunbarrel back AT THE BEGGINING
2. Decent Main Title Sequence
3. Maybe the return of Q and Moneypenny
4. Martin Campbell or another very good thriller director.
5. Brosnan back (just kidding )
6. A recurrent use of the JB Theme in the soundtrack.
7. Bond in Argentina
8. The 007 theme
9. Return of the high scale battle of Bond's "army" (Mujahadin, Aquapara, Ninjas, etc.) againt the villains one.
10. That David Arnold stops doing that Die Another Day cue he repeated in Casino Royale ("The Switch"), and Quantum of Solace ("Have you ever killed someone"; "Greene and Camille").

#3, personally I'd only like to see one or the other for now, not both. Preferably Moneypenny first.
#4, falling back on Martin Campbell too much is unwise. Campbell also has other projects, like the Green Lantern movie, that will probably keep him from the director's chair.
#6, Eh, to each his own. I would like a little more Bond theme, but I prefer the soundtracks where it pops up less.

I think (with the maybe exception of "10", I would say that returning all of those for the sake of it is detrimental to the evolution of the series and sort of what has already been left behind (for very good reason).

[__7]

1. Gunbarrel at the begining
2. Bond in the snow
3. Bond in a casino
4. Bond uses walther with silencer
5. Arthouse/noir Bond elements (actually I think they ought to let Forster write his own ticket so he'll direct again [not like eon can't afford it])
6. Fiona Apple, Duffy or Sting singing the theme
7. Baddie should have something to do with N. Korea since they seem to be getting quite froggy again (actually a number of places are getting froggy right now, pick one)
8. "Bond, James Bond" if it fits and it's done well
9. Camille should be back - I think she was the best bond girl in a long time, not a shrinking violet but not a "every bit Bond's equal" either, perfect balance.
10. time to mix in a slow bond theme this time around ala FYEO or something

It's not my best poster and was little more then filler to showcase the logo but here it is for those who haven't seen it.

The Hildebrand Rarity - Created ‎April ‎21, ‎2006
http://img207.images...teaserfinal.jpg

[mister-white]

Here's some ideas I've had:
First, Gun barrel at the start, with a classic version of the Bond theme (no "techno redo")

Pre-title Sequence: Why does the PTS always have to be at the start of the story. Why not open with a crazy scene that takes place later on in the film's story? M:i:III did this well.

Title sequence: A few things to say- why not be bold and simply have a title card, designed by Daniel Kleinman, then bring Kleinman back to a classic Bond title sequence, but through the entire credits. But I'm not 100% commited to the idea. Also, if you use the regular style of titles (with cast and crew credits), I really would like to hear an original piece of score instead of a song from some "one hit wonder" or flavour of the month pop star.

Story: Don't go in one direction with the story then take a sudden turn that shifts everything. Examples: DAD seemed to be about Bond looking for revenge, then about half way through turned into a mess of self parodying and CGI crap- QoS had a very similar plot and that was a huge problem. If you set a tone at the start, stick with it!

Characterization of Bond: As I've been watching the "Classic Bonds" (ie. the better Connery and Moore films), it occurs to me that 007 is not really an assassin (as recent films have portrayed him), but really a detective who carries the ability to kill whoever and whenever he pleases.

Locations: I've been wanting to see Australia, which I'm amazed Bond has never been to.

People involved: Time to ditch David Arnold in the composer's chair, I've been saying Michael Giacchino would be perfect for Bond, and after his work on Star Trek, I'm even more sure he'll be great. As for the script, I would love it if they brought in someone like Jonathan Nolan as the scribe. For director, I say Martin Campbell is the only previous Bond director I would like to see return (well, one that's still working), for a new name to the Bond series, I still wanna see what Mike Newell can do with Bond.

So, those are what I wanna see, some of them I'm not 100% committed to, but they would be nice to see.

[tdalton]

Some of my ideas:

• Preferably no gunbarrel sequence, but if there must be one, it needs to be at the beginning of the film.
• Locations we haven't had before in a Bond film. Bond should go to either South Africa, Australia, or Canada (or any other place that he hasn't already been to in the film franchise)
• A director in the style of Marc Forster (although I'd prefer Forster himself) directing the film.
• Continue casting relative unknowns as Bond girls. My recommendations would be Yvonne Strahovski and Olivia Wilde, and I'd also like to see Corinne (Stana Katic) from QUANTUM OF SOLACE return in a bigger role.
• Continue with the QUANTUM storyline. I don't want another GOLDFINGER where we get away from the villainous organization that has just established itself as a major foe for Bond.
• The continued exclusion of some of the "checklist" items that were missing from QUANTUM OF SOLACE: "Shaken, not stirred," "Bond, James Bond", The James Bond Theme, etc.
• A running time of more than 2 hours
• Another villain in the style of Dominic Greene and Le Chiffre, but perhaps one that is older. I think that, now that Craig is established as Bond, that they could get away with hiring a more well-known actor in the role of the villain. My choice would be the same as it was for CASINO ROYALE: James Woods.

[dinovelvet]

Eon must do the following:

Get rid of Craig. Americans have rejected him. ]

And your reasoning for that is based on what...?

Well, Brosnan was known as the Billion Dollar Bond. Don't forget, he was a huge star in the States even prior to Bond thanks to REMINGTON STEELE, the show that made most Americans champion him as 007 back in the 1980s. And, today, in the wake of MAMMA MIA!, Brosnan is arguably the most bankable guy from the British Isles next to Christian Bale.

Agreed. Brosnan shows he's still got it in Mamma Mia. Just look at the prestigious award he collected for his fine performance! It rivals even his tour de force in THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, with its gut wrenching drama and searing emotional content. I'd like to see this Daniel Gregg try and top that instead of mucking around with all this Flemming nonsense. Flemming has been dead for about five years now, nobody cares about that rubbish, we need to be more cutting edge like DIE ANOTHER DAY with its virtual reality, invisible cars, DNA identity changing and solar laser satellites. As a side note, did you know that ice-surfing scene was apparently all done on a computer? It's amazing what those Hollywood boffins can do these days! BRING BACK BRONSAN NOW! Why, he doesn't look a day over 67!

I'm quite sure all those elements made you a Bond fan.
BTW, your favourite movie seems to be A View to a Kill or... have you seen Quantum of Solace in 1985?

[Quantumofsolace007]

7 things

1. Fleming titles (prefarbly The Hildebrand rarity but i wouldn't mind Property of a lady etc)
2. more Screen Time of Mr. White he is a creepy villian
3. Ski/snowboard chase
4. mystery elements (I liked bond having to figure stuff out in Casino Royale and Quantum i'd like more of that)
5. A believable Good plot ( Again like Casino Royale and QOS keep on that path )
6. Rock Theme (once again just like Casino Royale and QOS)
7. American Setting (prefarbly New york or Boston so i can go up and see them filming )

[DamnCoffee]

• The Gunbarrel Sequence rightfully at the start of the movie. The Casino Royale design, with Craig in a tuxedo.
• More of the Bond theme. Something I really missed in Casino and Quantum.
• A really retro main title sequence, with an instrumental title song. That way they'll be less "good lord, that's terrible!"
• A nice 2 1/2 hour long movie. With a decent amount of character development and a nice balance of action.
• Felix Leiter played by Jeffrey Wright.
• Judi Dench as M.
• Mr White & Guy Haines.
• Maybe Corrine as the main Bond girl? It would be interesting.
• The Return of Camille Montes.
• Moneypenny and Q.
• Pete Travis as a Director.
• Paul Haggis totally in charge of the script. (Preferably with it finished wayyyy before filming starts)
• Bond in a cold location. M's Bed? NO - Somewhere like the Swiss Alps. What was originally planned for Quantum of Solace.
• Craig on Ski's.
• A Fleming Title. The Hildebrand Rarity is my top choice.

[Lebowski951]

-Paul Haggis totally in charge of the script. (Preferably with it finished wayyyy before filming starts)

I agree wholeheartedly with this. I want the script read an extra 100 times even if it means a 3 month delay, why make something if you're not going to bother to take a little time to make sure you get it right? I often wonder if any writers for any film nowadays see the goal of the finished product and not just the deadline to finish by to get payed.

[DamnCoffee]

In the PS2 version of Quantum of Solace, there was a really Bondian moment which I would love to see in a future Bond movie.

In the Docks level, there is a great moment where Bond slides down a wire from one window to ground level. I could just imagine it, in a really hot climate. With a brilliant camera angle just above Bonds shoulders, so you his the back of Bond (Mid-Back - Head) sliding down a wire.

[DKnight007]

What I would like to see in the next Bond film is for it to be more like the original Fleming books in spirit and feel and lets hope Morgan brings it.

Fleming showed more of what makes Bond tick, and more of what goes through his mind.

I would love to see a Bond film where we see Bond narrating/voicing over the story of what goes through his mind when he meets the people he meets and what his strategy is when given an assignment. I want to see what makes him tick and what he is going through on the inside.

It would an interesting and different way to see Bond on film and it would definitely be closer in spirit with the original book(s). Lets see more of the psychology of Bond is what I'm saying.

In another little but significant twist, we should see Bond more in disguise and be different characters to use as his cover in perhaps two scenes. We can some of Craigs range by him needing to perhaps change his voice and mannerisms when undercover.

I also think it would be a nice wink to Bond fans and to the general movie audience to see Bond needing to dye his hair brown for a specific undercover assignment for example.

Another suggestion for this next film is to get back to the feel of the earlier Connery films with mystery, suspense, and more of a noirish feel. MoneyPenny and Q need to finally be introduced in this next film as well.

I hope the Broccolis get a solid director for the next film and I suggest they look at ALFONSO CUARON. He would be a great choice to direct the next Bond film, since I feel he brings the total package for a Bond film to succeed.
