Peter Jackson. He'll probably have Bond take part in a 3 film story-arc where he has to lead a band of MI6 agents to track down an evil organisation who want to launch a nuclear war, and battle hordes of random villains along the way and a few double-crosses.

 

 

Before Daniel Craig did anything, did Timothy Dalton do everything?

 

YES - The oringinal Fleming template

 

OR

 

NO - He tried but failed a few important moments

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

YES - Dalton was ahead of his time, giving the fans what they wanted before most of them knew they wanted it.

 

For Bond 24:

 

Aston Martins again

or

The showcasing of a new, equally sexy car

?

[The Dove]

Aston Martin (preferrably the DBS again)

 

 

Now that Sam Mendes will NOT be directing Bond 24, what is more likely....David Arnold will return to score the film OR Thomas Newman will be asked back on behalf of Michael G. and Barbara??

[seawolfnyy]

Thomas Newman being asked back by Michael and Babs. I still believe that delaying the film to 2015 is part of a stunt to delay production until Mendes has time to commit to the film.

 

 

Next Bond game to be released on:

Current gen-consoles (PS3/X360)

OR

Next-gen (PS4/next Xbox)

?

[Professor Pi]

David Arnold will be back.  They've always left the door open, and he says the right things about EON--call it a mutual admiration society.

 

Will Bond 24 be a

 

Fleming title (TPOAL, Risico, THR, 7inNY)

 

OR

 

a new title (TND, DAD, SF)

 

??

Next -gen, just seems like it would to soon for a Bond game to come out before the newer systems. 

David Arnold will be back.  They've always left the door open, and he says the right things about EON--call it a mutual admiration society.

A new title. If Bond 24 is an original idea by John Logan then I figure it will be an original title. 

 

 

 

Who would you rather have perform the title song of Bond 24: Rihanna OR Lady Gaga?

[thecasinoroyale]

Oh god - if anyone, I'll go for Lady GaGa. Maybe she could pull off a haunting song, like Adele.

 

 

When the time comes and Daniel Craig steps down as 007, what will you feel -

 

EXCITEMENT - Another chapter over, a new one beginning with a new actor! Bring it on!

 

OR

 

FEAR - Nothing seems to be logical away from Daniel Craig's run and this could be a rocky path to find someone just as good.

 

??

[The Dove]

Too early to tell, but I'll go with EXCITEMENT... It's always intriguing whenever the search for the new 007 begins.

 

 

The gadgets that Q will / should give Bond in 24...should they be more than just the PPK and homing beacon that we saw in Skyfall OR Nah, keep them simple and not over-the-top?

[S K Y F A L L]

I think they will 'keep them simple', maybe a watch like in TND. 

 

 

Which gadget would you rather see in Bond 24 a; watch OR something for his car? 

[seawolfnyy]

Something for his car. I wouldn't mind a small return of the car gadgets.

 

 

Which actor would make a worse James Bond:

Nicolas Cage

OR

Zac Efron

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Zac Efron, haven't seen anything of his but I understand he is the guy from the High school musicals and just wouldn't stand for it. Bond can't keep getting shorter at least Cage could play the more light hearted Bond I suppose. 

 

 

Who would you rather have direct Bond 24: Quentin Tarantino OR Michael Bay?

[seawolfnyy]

Tarantino.

 

 

More likely Bond/Villain team up:

Bond and Trevelyan

OR

Bond and Silva

?

[S K Y F A L L]

I would have to go Bond and Trevelyan because they have already worked together in the GE PTS. 

 

Coolest villain liar #1: Crab Key with fake dragon (DN) OR Spectre island (FRWL)? 

[AMC Hornet]

Crab Key, with the underground lagoon window and nuclear reactor.

 

Signature palm-print rifle disguised as a cine-camera (yet packed in a box with a sniper-scope, shoulder stock and extended barrel)

or

Signature palm-print Walther PPK short pistol, packed with an emergency radio

?

[The Dove]

Have to go with the signature palm-print rifle..

 

Bond's hovercraft / gondola from Moonraker OR Bond and Kara's improvised cello case / sled from The Living Daylights...which would you rather have a go at riding?

[AMC Hornet]

The cello case was not as ridiculously OTT and conspicuous. Sometimes improvising is more cinematic-ally pleasing than having the Batmobile constantly at your disposal. Besides, a cello case could conceivably slide downhill, whereas a hovercraft - especially one without a push-prop - cannot travel up a flight of stairs.

 

Speaking of Moonraker, would you rather host a heckle-fest featuring

MR

or Casino Royale '67

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Coolest villain liar #2: The hollow volcano from YOLT or Blofeld's research facility/headquarters on top a mountain in OHMSS? 

[Professor Pi]

The cello case was not as ridiculously OTT and conspicuous. Sometimes improvising is more cinematic-ally pleasing than having the Batmobile constantly at your disposal.

Speaking of Moonraker, would you rather host a heckle-fest featuring

Moonraker has quite the funny quips.  CR67 is rather a chore to sit through.

 

Coolest villain liar #2: The hollow volcano from YOLT or Blofeld's research facility/headquarters on top a mountain in OHMSS? 

 

Tough one there, but since one can actually go to Piz Gloria, I'll take that.

 

Villain lair #3: Who had the better island?

 

Silva or Scaramanga

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

Fransisco Paco "Pistol", that's who (though obviously I'm biased).

 

Vida (Aliza Gur)

or

Zora (Martine Beswick)

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Vida 

 

 

Coolest Villain Liar #4 :

 

The Whyte House penthouse and Baja oil rig (DAF)

or

The voodoo island with hidden drug growing field and underground hideout with monorail and shark tank (LALD)? 

[Professor Pi]

The voodoo island with hidden drug growing field and unerground hideout with monorail and shark tank (LALD)

 

(Oil rigs and casinos from 70s Vegas tend to get blown up nowadays )

 

A 5th Brosnan Bond movie

 

OR

 

A 3rd Dalton Bond movie ??

[thecasinoroyale]

A 3rd Dalton Bond movie without a doubt. We were robbed!

 

 

The closest call Timothy Dalton's James Bond had was...

 

Nearly being shot by Whittaker's guard catching him in the villa only to be saved by Pushkin in 'The Living Daylights'

 

OR

 

Nearly having his fingers crushed as he just about catches the kitchen door acting as a waiter in Sanchez's casino in 'Licence To Kill'

 

??

[The Dove]

Nearly being shot by Whitaker's soldier before Pushkin shoots the guard in TLD..

 

Most hilarious look on Craig's face in Skyfall... When he's being held upside down during the Komodo Dragon fight in the casino before being body slammed to the ground OR when he's hanging onto the ouside of the train door and tells the driver to "Open...the...DOOR!!" ??

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be the Komodo Dragon fight - that was a brilliant moment that was very Moore/Brosnan-ish. Also, a hint of Harrison Ford in his various Indiana Jones encounters with danger.

 

 

What "character" trait of James Bond is your favourite?

 

The sinister, cold-blooded professional killer

 

OR

 

The suave, charming sophisticated gentleman

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

The suave, charming sophisticated gentleman.

 

There's been too little of that lately. Hopefully, now that Craig's Bond has completed his character arc* - again - he can relax and get a little flippant and less bitter occasionally.

 

(* as indicated by the placement of the gun barrel logo in the last two films)

 

Speaking of which:

 

Fists and wits only

or

Gadgets and a ninja army for backup

?

[seawolfnyy]

Fists and wits only.

 

 

Foreign language Bond theme:

 

Shakira in Spanish

OR

A.R. Rahman in Hindi

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Shakira, shes a real she wolf. 

 

Coolest Villain Liar #5: Stromberg's Atlantis (TSWLM) OR Kristatos mountaintop monastery (FYEO)?

[AMC Hornet]

Atlantis. It took torpedoes to penetrate it. Any highly-paid stunt man can climb a mountain.

 

Vodka martinis

or

Bollinger RD

?

[S K Y F A L L]

I'd have to go with the wine, I haven't had Bollinger myself. 

 

Coolest Villain Liar #6: 

 

Sanchez's meditation retreat with hidden helicopter landing pad and drug processing planet (LTK)

 

OR 

 

Alec Trevelyan's Cuban underground base with a hidden underwater satellite (GE)?

[mrevans]

Sanchez's meditation retreat.  Trevelyan's is cool but not a good place to kick back and relax.  No comfortable chairs. 

 

Silva as the villain in GE trying to avenge his families betrayal and facing off against Brosnan's Bond

 

OR

 

Trevelyan as the villain in SF trying to get revenge against M and facing off against Craig's Bond?
