Diamonds Are Forever because I think DAD is still fresh in the minds of newer Bond fans EON wouldn't wont to lose.

Who would you rather would have had direct Brosnan's 5th 007 film in 2004: STEVEN SPIELBERG or QUENTIN TARANTINO?

[thecasinoroyale]

As fantastical as it may be, I'd always go for Steven Spielberg - Tarantino is the most over-rated director in Hollywood and he would just butcher the series and turn it into something non-Bond.


Surprise casting for Bond 25: Daniel Craig is to step down as James Bond, and replacing him will be...

Michael Fassbender, fresh from the 'X-Men: First Class' sequel and 'Assassins Creed' movie

OR

Hugh Jackman, fresh from 'The Wolverine' and the latest musical he's been in.

??

[The Dove]

Have never seen any of Michael Fassbender's films myself, I'll go with Hugh Jackman..

Should Bond films return to a summer time release (think the last one was Licence To Kill) OR continue the trend of a Nov/Dec release?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think they should leave summer for big, banging blockbusters with truckloads of stars and budgets and stick with the Oct/Nov release - it's a quiet season before Christmas and a great pick me up after the summer months and something to look forward to - plus it doesn't get over-shadowed by the Hollywood giants!



Does Daniel Craig lending his voice and likeness to a number of 007 games...

Make them a good thing, as it feels you're more in the world of James Bond!

OR

Not the best, as we are restricted and limited to the modern, gritty Bond with no chance of re-living older missions and stories with other actors.

??

[S K Y F A L L]

It is a 'good thing' because I thought it was fine in Goldeneye, it made it like an interactive film.

Which would you rather get first from Skyfall; the poster OR another videoblog ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Have to go with the poster - can't wait to see what direction they'll take with it, and what it will show!



On the topic of the 'Skyfall' poster - do you think it will be:

MINIMAL - Like 'GoldenEye', 'Licence To Kill', 'For Your Eyes Only' etc, with a focal point of Bond and a couple of images around him with a decent, bold tagline.

OR

BUSY - Like 'Die Another Day', 'Live And Let Die', 'The Living Daylights' etc, with an image of Bond amongst plenty of scenarios, vehicles and characters from the film in various explosive situations.

??

[The Dove]

(umm..I have the DAD poster in my bedroom and it's probably the MOST minimalist of all the Bond posters...just 007 and Jinx pointing guns..unless of course there is an alternate poster you are referring to, thecasino?)

Ok my choice would be BUSY with an image of Bond amongst plenty of scenarions, vehicles and characters..etc..

Right now that we have our first OFFICIAL pic of Ben Whishaw as "Q" in Skyfall, are you: disappointed because you will never accept anyone as Q who doesn't portray the character exactly like Desmond LLewellyn OR excited to see a fresh, young-blood take on the character?

[S K Y F A L L]

Excited to see a fresh take on the character, I hope he doesn't wear glasses though Desmond Llewellyn didn't wear them.

What do you think they will introduce Ben Whishaw as; simply Q or Major Boothroyd the Quartermaster?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think Major Boothroyd the Quartermaster, and we'll probably hear Bond give him the nickname of Q to reduce the length of his title in an amusing way.


Which current action star would you like to face 007 as a brutal bad guy in a future Bond film -

BRUCE WILLIS - Fresh from 'Die Hard 5'

OR

JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME - Fresh from 'The Expendables 2'

??

[S K Y F A L L]

WHAM BAM THANK YOU VAN DAMME: I've always been a Van Damme fan so easy answer for me and I think he would make a more exciting villain. Can't wait to see him do one of those tornado kicks in The Expendables and I hope they turn him into one of the good guys in the end so he can return in The Expendables 3.

What does Bond need more: A larger then life henchman like Jaws OR a larger then life villain's lair?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm....both classic elements....I would love to see a larger than life henchman. They seem to be very iconic in Bond history so having another one that really makes an impact for audiences and for Bond himself would be a treat!


Which was the best "secret" villain lair -

The Liparus Tanker from 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

OR

The Volcano from 'You Only Live Twice'

??

[The Dove]

Have to go with the Volcano lair in YOLT... The Liparus Tanker stuck out like a sore thumb, what with it being so humongous....where as the sliding crater cover was the perfect way to hide Blofeld's evil doings.

Assuming the gunbarrel has been re-shot for Skyfall, which would you like to see: Bond in a Tux (ala Roger #2, Tim, and Pierce) OR Bond in suit and tie (ala, Bob Simmons, Connery, Lazenby, Roger #1)

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond in a Tux - it just works so well!


Does James Bond celebrate Christmas...

Alone in his flat, with very little fuss and wanting to get the day done with

OR

Seeing his closest friends in the area, actually like a human being enoying the season

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Tough one, but I'm going to go with alone because I like to think he might get robbed and it would play out like a 'Home Alone' movie. haha

Which character would you rather have return in Bond 24: MR. WHITE or KRATT (Le Chiffre's bodyguard who I think is assumed dead)?

[thecasinoroyale]

Haha...Kratt. I found his oddly shaped bald head rather amusing with his eagle eyes, and his handiness with a switchblade far more interesting than Mr.White's laugh.


If Bond drinks a beer at home....would he drink it...

Out of a bottle, ice-cold

OR

Into a glass, swirling it in his hand

??

[S K Y F A L L]

If it is only cheap beer I would have to say out of the bottle.

Which car would you rather Bond drive in Bond 24: Austin Martin DBS OR Jaguar?

[thecasinoroyale]

Aston Martin DBS everytime!



Do you think that 'Skyfall' will out gross 'Casino Royale' in the global box-office.

YES - It will rocket past the weakness of 'Quantum Of Solace' to easily out gross 'Casino Royale', due to the word of mouth of how impressive the cast and action is.

OR

NO - It will probably do the same if not slightly more than 'Quantum Of Solace' thanks to the big 50th Anniversary, but maybe people have settled with Craig as Bond and it just wont hit the takings of 'Casino Royale'

??

[The Dove]

Hmm..I myself would rather tend towards a MAYBE option, but I'll take a leap of faith and say YES- It will rocket past the weakness of "Quantum of Solace" to easily outgross "Casino Royale"..

Which do you think will happen first: The new Skyfall trailer, which debuted at Comic-Con, will appear online OR the Skyfall title song performer will be announced?

[S K Y F A L L]

Definitely the new Skyfall trailer because IMO everything that has happened in steps, we hear about it and then later it is confirmed. Since we have been hearing about this 'trailer #2' it is apparent it is right around the corner.

Which would you rather get 1st: The theme Song Announced OR the Skyfall Poster ?

[thecasinoroyale]

I would say the poster but I'm very excited to hear the theme song, and who is performing (hopefully NOT Adele!).


Which plot point, for Bond 24, would you approve to use...

James Bond's son, who he didn't know about, comes to England from Japan to find him and ends up helping him out on his latest mission, working and acting just like his dad. James Bond's son will be played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

OR

James Bond's father, whom he believed had died, comes to England from Holland to find his son and ends up helping him out on his latest mission, working and acting in a way we see where his son gets it from. James Bond's father will be played by Michael Caine.

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Michael Caine because I think the idea of Bond having a son would be a huge mistake.

What piece of military equipment would you rather see Bond aboard in Bond 24: Aircraft carrier OR Submarine ?

[glidrose]

Submarine. You can never get enough of those in a Bond film.

A lousy Bond film in 2014 or no Bond film until 2016 but it's awesome.

[S K Y F A L L]

A lousy Bond film in 2014 because I don't want to wait 4 years for another film and people say that about Quantum Of Solace was a 'lousy' film but I really don't mind it at all.

Which Bond gadget do you think has the best chance of making a modern day comeback in Bond 24: THE JET PACK OR LITTLE NELLIE ?

[thecasinoroyale]

LITTLE NELLIE - Well why not, I think it would take better with audiences in this series than a jet-pack and would lead to some great action!


What do you look for to really sell a Bond film:

ACTION - Lots of chases, fights and well shot sequences involving lots of chaos

OR

ACTORS - A decent cast to play the roles, fleshed out with very well known global stars, award winners and passionate actors.

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Action because I'm not always happy with the casting such as in the Brosnan films. Luckily Skyfall will have it all.

If you could re-cast one of these actors who would it be: Denise Richards OR Halle Berry ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Denise Richards - Halle Berry is too annoying, and Richards is far, far better to look at. Ignore what's coming out of her mouth and focus on the rest... if you catch my drift.


Who pushed the limits more in the role of 007:

Sean Connery - Hitting women, racism, drinking and brutality

OR

Daniel Craig - Brutality, emotion, drinking and messing up his work

??

[S K Y F A L L]

I'll go with Connery for now cause he had done more films Craig still has time to do so but we'll have to wait and see what he'll do in Skyfall and beyond.

Which gadget would you rather have make a modern day comeback in Bond 24: a watch OR brief case ?

[thecasinoroyale]

A watch. Always been a fan of the things Bond can do with his watch so would love to see the Omega loaded with tricks for 'Skyfall' and beyond.


When has James Bond looked more human for a few seconds, and less like a hard edged spy, in your opinion...

After the tanker truck chase and final fight with Sanchez in 'Licence To Kill'

OR

Seeing the body of Paris Carver in his hotel room in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'

??

[S K Y F A L L]

LTK for whatever reason that scene always stood out to me as to over acted.

They decide to use the title '007 In New York' as the title for Bond 24 but adjust it too: Operation New York OR Operative New York ?

[The Dove]

Operation: New York (could be a cross-over plot with the Bourne series in which 007 encounters the remains of Operation: Treadstone?? hmmm..)

With the VERY FEW negative reviewers of The Dark Knight Rises already feeling the backlash of Batman fans, including one being sent death threats, are you going to: TOTALLY ignore ALL reviews of Skyfall when it is released OR get caught up in the madness?? (though NOT to the extent of sending hate mail and such...we are FAR too classy here at CBN)
