Yeah, QOS won't be the last Bond film. We would need 2 or 3 box office stinkers in succession I think for that to happen. Even then I think they would put it on a 7-8 year hiatus and try again. The character is so proven over almost 50 years, with such a reputation that Bond can't go out on this note(like a film that grossed 585 million and Bond is as popular as ever). It will go out with say a film with say a lower profile actor as Bond on a budget of 30 million grossing 10 mill before the money men would say "call it a day"As long as the monniker "James Bond WIll Return" appears in the credits, then it's never over.
I very much agree REAL008. As Cubby once said, the Bond movies will continue until doomsday. If there is money to be made.
Hell look at the Halloween and Friday the 13th Franchises, they are not big bucks but they always seem to bring them back.
You know, I don't know if I could ever see that happening. The thing with Bond as opposed to other movie franchises is that every Bond movie has a high level of effort made put into the making of them. Even the installments that are not as highly rated or deemed to be lesser than others have a lot of effort put into them and even better is that when a Bond film is deemed not to have done well at the box office, it has still made a small profit compared to other films. I gotta tell you, I genuinely believe that the only thing that will stop Bond movies being made, apart from MGM going extinct, is possibly the nuclear annihilation of this planet.
