YES- Given that a script read with the cast of Bond 24 is scheduled for November, I fully expect the villain to be disclosed before shooting starts.

 

 

Do you think that some, if not all of the cast has been signed by now, but are just being kept under strict orders not to announce it until the press conference? YES or NO?

[glidrose]

Probably.

Michael Lonsdale singing TMWTGG title song?

or

Lulu as Holly Goodhead in MR?

[thecasinoroyale]

I reckon Lonsdale could give a crooning rendition of 'TMWTGG', I'd like to hear that!

 

 

Will the action in 'Bond 24' eclipse 'Skyfall' in terms of scale -

 

YES: They will go for bigger, louder and better!

 

OR

 

NO: They don't always need to go bigger to keep it exciting

 

??

[GalaSilva]

NO: They don't always need to go bigger to keep it exciting

 

If they were to kill another Bond girl in Bond 24, would you rather?

 

The Bond girl is a villain and is killed by Bond

 

OR

 

The Bond girl is on Bond's side and is killed by the villain.

[Call Billy Bob]

Killed by villain. Too many turncoat Bond girls in recent memory...

 

 

The upcoming Bond 24 title:

 

References the plot in some way (Casino Royale, Skyfall, etc.)

 

OR

 

Something Fleming-esque and not directly related (Live and Let Die, For Your Eyes Only, etc.) ?

[The Dove]

I think that it would be great to a have Fleming-esque title for Bond 24...preferably something that doesn't confuse the hell out of the ordinary or casual Bond fan, like Quantum of Solace did..

 

Say Bond drinks a beer in Bond 24..like he was spotted drinking a Heineken in Skyfall..Do you think there will be another stupid uproar from the general public who fear that Bond is trading in his vodka martini for beer? YES or NO?

[thecasinoroyale]

YES - Of course. Every time the media blow it up, but each film shoots it down. And if anything it just helps the marketing!

 

 

Which Bond singer/group vet would you like to see return for a fitting title theme for 'Bond 24' -

 

Duran Duran

 

OR

 

Carly Simon

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Duran Duran, baby! A View to a Kill is one of my favorite Bond themes, which actually turned me on to Duran Duran: I later discovered my mother owned all of their albums!

 

 

If you could choose one of these former Bond film actors to appear as a new character in the post-CR timeline, it would be...

 

John Rhys-Davies (Pushkin in TLD)

 

OR

 

Alan Cumming (Boris in GE)

 

OR

 

Robbie Coltrane (Zukovsky in GE and TWINE) ?

[AMC Hornet]

Alan Cumming. He could be scenes into his role before we'd identify him with Boris.

 

Anthony Horowitz & Murder on Wheels:

 

Good idea

or

Bad idea

?

[glidrose]

Horowitz is a very good idea, but "Murder on Wheels" is a terrible gimmicky idea. It's not a coincidence that Fleming turned several of these treatments into *short stories* and not novels. I suspect it's not a coincidence that Fleming chose not to adapt MOW as a short story.

Gert Frobe singing "Skyfall" or Adele playing Pussy Galore.

[thecasinoroyale]

I'll have a look at Adele playing Pussy Galore I think. Sounds fruity.

 

 

Which kill was the most disappointing when it actually happened?

 

Valentin is shot by Elektra in 'The World Is Not Enough'

 

OR

 

Dominic Greene just left to die in 'Quantum Of Solace'

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Greene dying off-screen. It's a shame that the main villain of the film was essentially not deemed worthy enough to have a proper death...

 

 

Who has the better second outing in Bond 24:

 

Ralph Fiennes as M

 

OR

 

Ben Whishaw as Q ?

[The Dove]

I think that Ben Whishaw will have a stronger outing as Q..perhaps get into some more instances of him being annoyed with 007 for not returning his equipment in working order!

 

Rhianna for the Bond 24 theme... YES or NO?

[thecasinoroyale]

No. Let's leave it there, shall we.

 

*fume*

 

 

 

Imagine we are presented with the 'Bond 24' synopsis in December. What do you NOT want to see:

 

 

"Set months after the tragic events of 'Skyfall'..."

 

OR

 

"....will come back to haunt M, and all that MI6 stand for."

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

"...will come back to haunt M and all that MI6 stands for." Please no Skyfall 2.

 

 

If Bond 24 were adapted from a Fleming story:

Thrilling Cities

OR

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Have to go for 'Thrilling Cities' - we can't go back to Chitty!

 

 

Which 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' gadget would you like to see back in a future Bond film?

 

A car that drives on water?

 

OR

 

A car that can fly?

 

??

[The Dove]

Well, we've almost seen them both already (aka the Lotus submarine in TSWLM and the flying AMC Matador in TMWTGG), so how about a car that drives on the surface of the water..

 

Which 007 would look more natural sipping a pint of lager or bitter at the pub.. Brosnan or Craig?

[Call Billy Bob]

Craiger, for sure. The bar scenes in Skyfall cement it for me.

 

 

Worse blatant product placement in the Craig Bonds:

 

OMEGA in CR

 

OR

 

Heineken in SF ?

[seawolfnyy]

Heineken.

 

 

Dom Perignon '64

OR

Dom Peringon '62

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Dom Perignon '64. Well, why not.

 

 

Which sort of Bond villain do you hope for in 'Bond 24'?

 

A suited, well-to-do but maniacal businessman, ie: Hugo Drax, Max Zorin, Franz Sanchez, Dominic Greene etc

 

OR

 

A scorned, vengeful schemer out for chaos, ie: Dr No, Dr Kananga, Georgi Koskov, Raoul Silva etc

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

I'll put my two cents in for a Drax/Zorin type. Since Silva was the unhinged type from the start, I'll welcome a return of the false face entrepreneur (one who presents himself/herself as legitimate).

 

 

Better possible Bond 24 PTS:

 

Ski scene/chase

 

OR

 

plane crash/disastrous event ?

[The Dove]

I'd say we're due for a ski chase for the pre-titles.. Haven't had one since the snowboard sequence in AVTAK..let the plane crash be a part of the main film in my opinion.

How about this as a nice nod to previous Bonds.. Say at some point in B24 007 goes to a pub and over the jukebox or sound system a previous Bond theme is heard in the back ground. Should it be Duran Duran's "A View To A Kill" OR Gladys Knight's "Licence To Kill"?

[thecasinoroyale]

Always a Durannie, so I'd love to hear 'AVTAK' in the back-ground!

 

 

Will 'Bond 24' feature another popular music track in the soundtrack, like we had with 'Die Another Day' and 'Skyfall'?

 

YES - May as well keep Bond relevant in the real world by acknowledging appropriate songs in the film

 

OR

 

NO - Let's not get ahead of things and make Bond bridge the fantasy action with the real world too much

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

I say no. A nod to a previous Bond theme or tune is fine, but no getting carried away please!

 

 

Who played the better "James Bond" in Casino Royale '67:

 

David Niven

 

OR

 

Peter Sellers ?

[The Dove]

I'd say Peter Sellers..

Cooler look on Craig's face.. His smile when Carlos blows himself up at the end of the airport chase in CR? OR his wink to Mallory when he shoots the fire extinguishers for cover during Silva's attack on M's hearing in SF?

[thecasinoroyale]

Defiantly the wink to Mallory - the smirk during 'CR' hits me sometimes as arrogance, and smarmy. A nice touch, but just not Bond for me. However his wink his cool, calm and controlled where he knew what he was doing and why, and he had the total confidence to relay it with just a wink. Brilliant.

 

 

 

Laziest Bond kill....

 

Bond knocking the guard off the cliff via hang-glider in 'Live And Let Die'

 

OR

 

Bond drowning Blofeld's double in the mud pit by pulling the chain and hiding in 'Diamonds Are Forever'

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Killing the double... the hang-glider kill was kind of cool!

 

 

Other than Le Chiffre, which classic Bond villain could Peter Lorre have portrayed:

 

Goldfinger

 

OR

 

Blofeld ?

[seawolfnyy]

Blofeld, he would've made a great one after Savalas.

 

 

 

Should the credits for Bond 24:

Have a reworked version of the title track like The Spy Who Loved Me

OR

The Bond theme as in CR and SF

?

[The Dove]

Since we've had the Bond theme for the last 3 films, how about a reworking of the title theme... As long as it isn't a repeat situation of Die Another Day's utterly awful techno remix!

Bond's new Aston Martin in Bond 24.. Do you think it will be charcoal grey like the DBS in CR and QOS or classic silver like the DB5, or should it be a new color?

[seawolfnyy]

Charcoal grey still, in my opinion. That car in that color is damn sexy.

 

 

If Bond 24 were to feature a car chase, but with Bond driving an antique car instead of a modern supercar:

1929 Duesenberg

OR

1935 Bentley

?
