Good call, age is no barrier for a great actress to be a Bond girl/lover. Not to mention, she´s actually close to Bond´s age. I still shudder when I think that Roger Moore is older than Tanya Roberts´mother.

 

 

 

Sophie Marceau as Paris Carver
OR

Rosamund Pike as Strawberry Fields

?

O_O Really? I never knew that about Sir Rog!

 

I go for Sophie Marceau as Paris Carver - seeing her in lingerie will get my vote any day, plus I find Rosamund Pike VERY irritating with her strange diction and vocal range...sounds like she's got a permanent cold.

 

 

Which Bond girl would you like to see "rebooted" for 'Spectre', either in at the end for 'Bond 25' or during the finale?

 

Tracy di Vicenzo

 

OR

 

Solitare

 

??

Tracy I guess as I don't really think Solitaire has a place in the SPECTRE storyline. Not to mention, remaking OHMSS as part 2 of the rebooted Blofeld saga seems like a natural progression.

 

 

 

More annoying, naggy Bond girl:

Mary Goodnight

OR

Pam Bouvier

?

Goodnight by a long shot.

 

 

Which would you rather see in SP

 

Bond in military uniform aboard an aircraft carrier

 

or

 

a submarine

 

00?

Hmm, I probably would've said aircraft carrier if it weren't for those hellcarriers in The Avengers and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. So I'll go with a submarine.

Emmanuelle Béart - can't stand JA.

 

 

Will it be hard for EON to now resort to the lesser-known actors taking big roles in the films, post-Craig era?

 

YES - After such a triumph in British and international acting calibre and Oscar winning actors, the expectation will be bigger than ever to top the previous standard

 

OR

 

NO - Big isn't always better; if things don't work, they will have no fear in bringing in unknowns to give us big surprises for big roles

No, big isn´t always better. I also believe that complacency will settle in again at some point and we will get another Moonraker/Die Another Day-esque Bond film that will lead to another soft reboot.

Probably off the back of 'Die Hard', but Alan Rickman gets my vote.

 

 

What will cause the biggest media debate during the 'Spectre' production:

 

Product placement

 

OR

 

The plot

I vote McTiernan. He was just coming off The Hunt for Red October, which I feel is his 3rd best film (behind Die Hard and Predator). Plus, I'd want Davis to be free to still film Under Siege which he did that year.

 

 

If Brosnan had taken over from Moore as was planned, would TLD have fared

 

Better

Or

Worse

 

critically and at the box office?

Better I think.. Pierce was well established as Remington Steele and would have connected better with audiences at the time.. Dalton was still a relatively unknown actor. For Bond 25, should we have Bond go after Kim Jong-un in North Korea? YES or NO?

So we have Emmanuelle Béart as the main Bond girl, the main villain is Alan Rickman and our director is John McTiernan. So....

In SPECTRE, which scenario would you prefer to happen:-

 

Bond has to dress as an old lady to defuse a bomb

 

or

 

Bond dresses as a monkey to infiltrate SPECTRE's headquarters

 

?

Good GOD....well if there has to be one....it's got to be the old lady. Moore already did the gorilla disguise. ;)

 

 

Will 'Spectre' gross over $1bn?

 

YES - If 'Transformers 4' can do it, then the follow up for 'Skyfall' with so much hype will do it!

 

OR

 

NO - It will do well, but the momentum for Bond has died off over 2 years, alongside heavy box-office competition

Hm. Arnold redeemed himself in the Craig era, but Kamen captured the mood so well for 'LTK' and has had some superb film scores, so I go for the under-rated Michael Kamen.

 

 

Will James Bond order a "martini, shaken not stirred" this time in 'Spectre'?

 

YES - We've had the other quips, now it's the martini's turn.

 

OR

 

NO - It's not needed and still comes across as something said to ONLY please Bond fans

I'll say Independence Day (I haven't seen Amazing Grace.. :P )

 

Say that you could combine any two past or current Bond film composers (lets assume that they are all still with us) to do the score for Bond 26 or whenever the new 007 starts his era, who would you like to mix and match? 

 

John Barry and Thomas Newman, David Arnold and John Barry, Michael Kamen and George Martin, Bill Conti and Eric Serra ??

Maurice Binder, one last time.

 

In SPECTRE, would you prefer:-

 

The movie to be a musical, where every line is sung?

 

or

 

It's a silent movie filmed entirely in black & white?

Since Michael G. Wilson has done cameo in several Bond films, and I even spotted his son Gregg in Skyfall, should Barbara Broccoli have a turn at a cameo in SPECTRE? YES or NO ?

Yes. She should have to dress up as a man and endure a voice-over of M berating her for the way female producers exploit male leads on their own time.

 

SPECTRE: even more of a sixties throwback than Octopussy was in '83

 

or

 

Another modern techno-thriller like MI or Bourne

The plot revolves around a rebooted Sheriff Pepper played by a wacky Jim Carrey
