A different song altogether

 

The title for Bond 24 is going to be: 

 

An Unused Fleming Title (i.e. Risico, Property of a Lady)

 

or 

 

An Original Title (i.e. Skyfall, Goldeneye)

[PrinceKamalKhan]

An Unused Fleming Title (i.e. Risico, Property of a Lady)

 

"Alternate universe" casting for actual Bond girl contenders::

 

Faye Dunaway

 

 

and

 

Raquel Welch

 

 

Which would have turned out better:

 

Raquel Welch as Domino in Thunderball and Faye Dunaway as Tiffany Case in Diamonds Are Forever

 

 

or

 

 

Faye Dunaway as Domino in Thunderball and Raquel Welch as Tiffany Case in Diamonds Are Forever ?

[seawolfnyy]

Raquel Welch as Domino and Faye Dunaway as Tiffany Case.

 

 

Bodn 24's title:

Risico

OR

The Property of a Lady

OR

The Hildebrand Rarity

?

[GalaSilva]

Risico

 

In Daniel Craig's final Bond movie...

 

The main Bond Girl lives and Bond has a final romantic scene with her, then in the next film the Bond actor is changed without a realistic explanation?

 

or 

 

The main Bond Girl dies and Bond resigns from MI6 for good, deciding to travel around the world?

[thecasinoroyale]

Have to stick with the usual and go for our main Bond Girl lives and Bond has a final romantic scene with her, then in the next film the Bond actor is changed without a realistic explanation. If Craig's Bond left MI6, it'd feel an empty journey we'd taken with 007 to follow his espionage career from start to end.

 

Will the villain in Bond 24 use....

 

Technology as a weapon to create and maniuplate the world he wants to rule / destroy with the push of a button, hidden behind a screen

 

OR

 

His skill and cunning to create dangerous situations for his enemies and have a frontline in creating choas

 

??

[The Dove]

Definitely go with the villain using his skill and cunning to create dangerous situations..We've seen the technology aspect far too many times (i.e. Gustav Graves' Icarus, Blofeld's Diamond satellite, Elliot Carver's news satellites etc..)

 

 

Thinking back to Q's rendezvouz with 007 in the Greek church in FYEO, where should be the next "fun" rendevouz location with Q for Craig's 007 in Bond 24?  Bond hails a taxi in London and the driver turns out to be Q OR Bond meets Q backstage at a London musical, where Q is disguised as one of the supporting cast in the musical?

[seawolfnyy]

Bond hails a taxi in London and Q happens to be the driver.

 

 

Bond 24's henchman:

Paul Bettany as the Red Grant/Necros/Kriegler, Aryan/Nazi-esque type

OR

Yuliya Snigir as the Fiona Volpe/Xenia Onatopp femme fatale

?

[GalaSilva]

Yuliya Snigir as the Fiona Volpe/Xenia Onatopp femme fatale, just because Craig hasn't had one yet and he definitely needs one before he finishes.

 

John Logan wants to homage a death from previous Bond movies for one of the Bond girls in Bond 24.

 

Plenty O' Tooles death (tied to the bottom of a pool)?

 

or 

 

Fiona Volpe's death (spun into the path of a bullet)?

Edited by GalaSilva, 22 July 2013 - 08:54 PM.

[seawolfnyy]

Fiona Volpe's death (spun into the path of a bullet).

 

 

 

In Bond 24's PTS, will we get:

 

a big tie-in to the rest of the film like in QoS and SF

OR

a seemingly unrelated to the main plot, mini-mission like in GF and TLD

?

[S K Y F A L L]

A tie in, I think those days of seemingly unrelated missions is over. At least for now.

 

Do you think Felix will return in Bond 24 OR be left out again ?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Felix will return.

 

Fiona Volpe(TB) and Helga Brandt a/k/a No. 11(YOLT)

 

or

 

Naomi(TSWLM) and Jenny Flex(AVTAK)?

[seawolfnyy]

Naomi (TSWLM) and Jenny Flex (AVTAK), always liked Alison Doody in that role. She was just underused, much like Stana Katic.

 

 

 

Will Bond 24:

adapt some form of Ian Fleming material in some regard (main story or portions)

OR

no, the script will be 100% original

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think they will try to be 100% original as they managed to make it work once more with 'Skyfall' so will try again now.

 

 

What is Bond's greatest natural skill in the field...

 

His quick wit and wry observation used to worm his way in, or out, of a tense situation

 

OR

 

His logic in planning to escape or infiltrate the surroundings whilst seeming to be not interested

 

??

[GalaSilva]

His quick wit and wry observation used to worm his way in, or out, of a tense situation. Because any action hero or spy can escape or infiltrate but only Bond can charm or talk his way out of a situation.

 

How many Bond Girls will die in Bond 24?

 

0? 

 

or 

 

1?

 

or 

 

2?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think 1. Craig's Bond does seem to get through the girls - Vesper, Solange, Fields, Severine, M....if you count M! I think 1 will die, keep it in line with the last two outings.

 

 

What will feature in 'Bond 24' -

 

An elaborate torture / dice-with-death sequence facing Bond that comes down to the wire to escape from

 

OR

 

A classic briefing with M, Moneypenny and Q in MI6 just like the older films before going out on his mission

 

??

[The Dove]

I hope for, and expect to see, the classic briefing with M, Moneypenny and Q...It would be a shame to waste such a brilliant set-up at the end of Skyfall.

 

 

Now that Sam Mendes has confirmed he'll be doing a 2nd Bond film, which of the previous directors' 2nd films did you think was best?  Terence Young with From Russia With Love, Lewis Gilbert with The Spy Who Loved Me, Guy Hamilton with Diamonds Are Forever, John Glen with Octopussy or Martin Campbell with Casino Royale?

[GalaSilva]

From Russia With Love, not just because it's a good film but because the tone of the film differed from Dr No (in a good way) kind of like what they did with Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace but better. 

 

If Jesper Christensen returned as Mr White for Bond 24, how would you want to see him?

 

In a small part in the pre-title sequence and killed off by Bond.

 

or 

 

Becomes a larger part and is the main villain of the film.

[Eric Stromberg]

I'm gonna have to get with...

 

Becomes a larger part and is the main villain of the film.  (Sort of.)

 

I would like to see him back but I would also add an organizational layer of complexity to Quantum that we haven't seen thus far.  So I don't necessarily think he should be the main villain, but perhaps the villain that leads us (and Bond, of course) to the bigger fish and the big kill.

 

A four day 007 media and fan convention in London

 

OR 

 

San Diego?

[seawolfnyy]

When you say San Diego do you mean Comic Con? I guess I would say London as most major Bond events happen in the UK. However, I wouldn't mind seeing one in the States.

 

 

 

If 1 Bond girl dies in Bond 24, how will Bond react:

He will try to avenge her as he did with Fields

OR

He will be indifferent as he was with Solange

?

[thecasinoroyale]

He will be indifferent as he was with Solange. He's showing his armour is getting tougher, as it was with Severine also.

 

 

Will 'Bond 24' be Craig's last 007 outing?

 

YES - He will bow out on a high after the success of the recent run of films and pave the way for new, younger talent

 

OR

 

NO - He will stick out for another, to build on the success already there with the right cast and crew for at least one more

 

??

[The Dove]

NO, he's already contracted for Bond 25 anyways and I feel that Daniel is a man of his word and will honor that contract before deciding to bow out.

 

Which of these two, well established directors would have made the more intriguing Bond film, had they had the chance... Stanley Kubrick OR Steven Spielberg?

[GalaSilva]

Steven Spielberg. Kubrick may have done too much with it. 

 

Bond 24 casting of the villain

 

A well known actor i.e. Javier Bardem?

 

or 

 

A less known actor (at the time) i.e. Mads Mikkelson?

[seawolfnyy]

A well known actor. Sam Mendes will go for a casting that has an Oscar-esque resume.

 

 

 

Bond 24's release:

It will make it's release date in October/November 2015

OR
It's been delayed once, it will be delayed again and we'll see it in 2016

?

[S K Y F A L L]

I don't think it will be delayed. I would bet that they already had a good idea of what Bond 24 will be and a first draft of the script before SF was even released. They shouldn't have any reason to delay so long as there isn't a strike. 

 

Who would you rather have do the Bond 24 theme song; Rihanna OR Lady Gaga ?

[seawolfnyy]

Oh god, I guess Lady Gaga, but really? Those are our 2 choices?

 

 

 

If the next Bond video game were a console exclusive, who should do it:

Naughty Dog (Playstation)

OR

Epic Games (Xbox)

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Epic Games - just for my Xbox ownership!

 

 

Do you still hold the "iconic" elements important now in modern Bond films as they've proven it works even shaken up, like the gunbarrel out of place, low use of the Bond theme, and not incorporating all the usual lines.

 

YES - It's still criucial to build on this and keep them all there, it retains the Bond formula no matter how they are presented

 

OR

 

NO - It's proven Bond exists without the usual check-list of factors, and it can work in future too as we're seeing happen

 

??

[The Dove]

NO - it's proven Bond exsists without an overdose of the usual factors..

 

Say a new pub in London was being built and a Bond themed name was going to be used...which would sound better... Her Majesty's Secret Agent OR The Double O's ??

[seawolfnyy]

The Double 0's.

 

 

 

Catherine von Schell and Diana Rigg

OR

Berenice Marlohe and Naomi Harris

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Oh god, I guess Lady Gaga, but really? Those are our 2 choices?

 

I just haven't been listening to too much new music lately,... so I just went with 2 of the biggest names I could think of. 

 

 

The Double 0's.

 

 

 

Catherine von Schell and Diana Rigg

OR

Berenice Marlohe and Naomi Harris

?

 

Berenice and Harris. Never cared much for Catherine von Schell, I always just looked at her as another older person on set to take the eyes off Roger Moore's aging face. Diana Rigg I'm not a fan either, don't care much for her sideburns...

 

 

 

Should I update my signature ;

 

Yes, its getting old and no new updates will come anytime soon anyway

 

OR 

 

No, its alright stick with it news is bound to come...

 

00?

[seawolfnyy]

The Double 0's.

 

 

 

Catherine von Schell and Diana Rigg

OR

Berenice Marlohe and Naomi Harris

?

 

Berenice and Harris. Never cared much for Catherine von Schell, I always just looked at her as another older person on set to take the eyes off Roger Moore's aging face. Diana Rigg I'm not a fan either, don't care much for her sideburns...

Catherine von Schell was in On Her Majesty's Secret Service opposite George Lazenby, not Roger Moore. Who were you thinking of?

 

Your sig is fine, stick with it news will come.

 

 

Worse game:

007 Legends

OR

007 Racing

?
