NO- the producers should have learned their lesson from the horrible CGI surfing sequence in Die Another Day...keep it simple and real...it's what made the Bond films what they have been for the last 50 years..

 

(Just a random thought I've had for a while) When do you expect Michael G. Wilson to step away and retire from producing the Bonds...After Daniel Craig has finished his run, probably after Bond 25, OR he'll stick around to see at least the first film for 007 #7?

[thecasinoroyale]

I THINK he may stand down after the Craig era, he's done a heck of a lot, and I think with new blood taking over as a new 007 he will step down too.

 

 

If and when the time comes the Broccoli family depart from producing the Bond films (as in Barbara and MGW), what will happen...

 

A long serving member of the Bond film-making family will take on producing

 

OR

 

An external power will take over the producing job

 

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Tough one, don't really know the family or if they have anyone in mind to replace M.G.W when he departs or BB when she departs much later clearly. I would think it will stay in the family though. That is a thread in it's self IMO. 

 

 

Bond 7

 

Idris Ebla 

 

OR

 

Henry Cavill

 

00?

[The Dove]

Probably Henry Cavill

 

Say James Bond had to give up his 007 number in exchange with another Double-O agent...what would be a more suitable replacement...004 OR 001 ??

[S K Y F A L L]

001 sounds a little better IMO. 

 

What sport do you think has a better chance of making it in Bond 24;

 

sailing or jet skiing 

 

OR

 

Snowmobiling or skiing 

 

00?

[thecasinoroyale]

I HOPE it would be skiing, but I think they will use Daniel Craig's torso to good gain again for female viewers so probably have him sailing or jet-skiing, his Bond seems to be connected to water exploits!

 

Has James Bond become TOO human?

 

YES - All the heavy emotion and trauma is making him less of the "superspy" we know and becoming someone we feel to more

 

OR

 

NO - A few bumps along the way just go to make his shell harder and we will see that machine-like operative once more!

 

??

[The Dove]

I'd say No...I fully expect to see the machine-like operative in Bond 24, or as near to it as possible.

 

Felix Leiter swap arounds.... Rik Van Nutter as Leiter in Dr. No OR Jack Lord as Leiter in Thunderball ??

[seawolfnyy]

Jack Lord in Thunderball.

 

 

 

Better James Bond parody:

Austin Powers

OR

Archer

?

[*Gala*]

Austin Powers

 

Is she a Bond girl if she doesn't sleep with Bond?

[thecasinoroyale]

Yes, I think so - Eve Moneypenny is a Bond girl and she didn't sleep with Bond, as was Camille Montes - so yeah, I think they can be!

 

Has sexism died in the James Bond films?

 

YES - Women will be nothing more than equal to 007 or important victims of an evil villain or suspect

 

OR

 

NO - We will get disposable pleasures in future Bond films and those who just get in the way

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

No, we will get disposable pleasures in future Bond films and those who just get in the way. Eventually, the Bond films will revert back to their ridiculous over the topness and with that the useless, eye candy Bond girls will return as well.

 

 

 

After Sam Mendes' handling of Skyfall and Bond 24, do you think the Bond franchise can endure without big name directors:

Yes

OR

No

?

[The Dove]

YES...the franchise endured the likes of Roger Spottiswoode, Michael Apted, and Lee Tamahori so yes,it will continue.

 

 

Do you think that the new Aston Martin in Bond 24 will be...property of Her Majesty's Government OR Bond's own personal car, as compensation from MI6 for having his lovely DB5 blown up in Skyfall?

[S K Y F A L L]

I suspect it will be property of HSS.

 

 

Do you think Bond 24 will with an attack on the villains liar 

 

OR 

 

they'll save that for Bond 25

 

00?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think they will have Bond lead the assault - he will attack the villain!

 

 

Does Craig's Bond need a glorious good vs evil finale action sequence, topping 'Skyfall'?

 

YES - He needs bigger, badder and better now to harken back to the golden era of 007 and catapult the action into something big!

 

OR

 

NO - Smaller is better, as we've seen with Craig's finales, and he doesn't need a big action finale bringing good and evil together

 

??

[The Dove]

No, smaller is better...

 

Would Daniel Craig make for a better JEDI KNIGHT or SITH LORD if he were to be cast in the new Star Wars trilogy?

[S K Y F A L L]

I have a hard time seeing him as a Sith Lord, it would have to be as a Jedi IMO. 

 

 

Do you think Craig will make it into the Expendables movies 

 

OR 

 

he wouldn't waste his talents on it

 

 

00?

[The Dove]

Nah, if I were Daniel Craig, I wouldn't waste my time with it..

Are you concerned with all the other blockbusters coming out in 2015 that might give Bond 24 some stiff competition at the box office..YES or NO, Bond will "stand tall and face it all.."??

[S K Y F A L L]

I'm sure Bond will be fine.

 

 

Will we finally see Bond in action in his new Aston Martin in Bond 24 

 

OR 

 

Nope. It's just a teaser until Bond 25

 

00?

[seawolfnyy]

Yes, I think we'll get a nice car chase in the next film. The one from QoS is one of my favorite sequences of that film.

 

 

 

With Silva and Elvis in the last 2 films, we've had as many gay characters as the rest of the series combined (Kidd and Wint....unless I'm forgetting someone and I probably am), do you think we'll continue to see more gay characters in the Bond films:

Yes

OR

No

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Sure, why not. 

 

 

 

Do you think we'll see inside Q branch in Bond 24 

 

OR
 

No, we'll get another meeting place

 

00?

[The Dove]

I think we'll see the meeting take place in Q-branch..

Will Bond order a Vesper in Bond 24..YES or NO?

[S K Y F A L L]

NO. I don't know, I just don't see it. 

 

 

Curious and may have done something similar to this one already but why not

 

Will David Arnold return in Bond 24 

 

OR 

 

it's basically Thomas Newman's territory now

 

00?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think they set standards with 'Skyfall', and so even for the music, this is Thomas Newman territory now.

 

 

Which is the more "classic" Bond film regarding story, iconography and content...

 

'Goldfinger'

 

OR

 

'The Spy Who Loved Me'

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Goldfinger.

 

 

 

Worse director for Bond:

M. Night Shyamalan

OR

Michael Bay

?

[The Dove]

Tough choice...But I'd have to go with Michael Bay...a Bond film under his direction would likely have 10 times the amount of horrible CGI and useless explosions that we saw with Die Another Day..

 

 

Say the producers opt to go with one of the following performers for the title song for Bond 25, which would ultimately top Madonna's Die Another Day to become the worst Bond song ever...Lady Gaga OR Niki Minaj ??

[S K Y F A L L]

Well I actually like a few of Gaga's tunes and I'm not familiar with Niki Minaj so I would have to go with her. 

 

 

Would you rather Bond 24 be about;

 

environmental terrorism 

 

OR 

 

cyber terrorism

 

00?

[seawolfnyy]

Environmental terrorism. Granted, we've had both in the last 2 movies: environmental in QoS and cyber in Skyfall.

 

 

 

Should Bond visit the United States in Bond 24:

Yes

OR

No

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Yes - why not? Plenty of room to cause trouble across the pond.

 

 

Which British actress would you like to see in 'Bond 25'...

 

Joanna Lumley as the British PM

 

OR

 

Maggie Smith as May

 

??

[The Dove]

It'd be great to have either one, especially since both have Bond connections already.. Lumley having appeared in OHMSS and Maggie Smith is the mother of Toby Stephens.. but I'd like to see Joanna Lumley as the PM.

 

With today being April Fools, what sort of trick would you like to see the producers pull on the audience in Bond 24... Bond gets killed off in the pre-titles, a la You Only Live Twice OR push rumors that James Bond himself is not who he says he is and is actually an imposter, who killed the real 007 15 years previous and took his place, having fooled MI6?

[S K Y F A L L]

Bond gets killed off.

 

 

 

Denise Richards

 

OR
 

Halle Berry

 

00?
