My mistake I was thinking of Maud Adams (TMWTGG and OP).

My mistake I was thinking of Maud Adams (TMWTGG and OP).

Gotcha. I had a feeling that's who you were thinking of.

[thecasinoroyale]

You question seawolf, I have to go with '007 Racing' - that just was TOO cheap to provide decent fun, which at least 'Legends' can do for a while.

 

 

As a villain - Joseph Wiseman as Dr.No...

 

CLASSIC - The original evil mastermind, presented perfectly as a big screen villain

 

OR

 

WASTED - Looking back, he is very underused and never gets the chance to shine

 

??

You question seawolf, I have to go with '007 Racing' - that just was TOO cheap to provide decent fun, which at least 'Legends' can do for a while.

I agree. 007 Racing is nothing but a cheap cash-in. For the most part so is 007 Legends and while I don't think it provides any fun, I will admit that it tries (albeit not very hard). Love that new sig too!

 

As for your question, Classic. Joseph Wiseman was the original mastermind, presented perfectly as a big screen villain.

 

 

Gert Frobe as Goldfinger:

 

Classic, he was the villain who set the bar for every Bond adventure afterward

OR

Overrated. Too fat and Frobe couldn't even perform his own lines (they were dubbed!). He is nothing more than an overrated punchline

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Overrated. I just don't think he set a bar except for heaviest villain. 

 

 

Do you think Bond 24 will lead into Bond 25 OR No those rumors have been debunked? 

[The Dove]

NO, I think that those rumors have been debunked...I fully expect Bond 25 to be a stand alone story..

 

 

What do you think will be the next major newsworthy item of Bond 24 we'll get....The title OR a hint of a plot synopsis with clues about what exotic locations might be featured?

[S K Y F A L L]

A hint about the locations and maybe a hint of the plot. I'm guessing the next piece of news we get will be who will be co producing, executive producing and costume designing. Maybe who will be editor but I suspect it will be all the same as SF so long as EON gets its way, however editor on SF Stuart Baird might want to stop while he is on top since he tied with Zero Dark Thirty for an Oscar. 

 

Who should I replace Tom Hanks with on my signature; Casting auditions 1 of 3: Val Kilmer OR Peter Dinklage ?

[thecasinoroyale]

I go for Val Kilmer - he certainly could do a Bond stint. Michael Madsen did it (be it badly) in 'DAD' so...

 

 

When do you think we will hear the next official 'Bond 24' news release:

 

Before the end of 2013

 

OR

 

Early in 2014

 

??

[The Dove]

It's probably more likely we'll get the next official Bond 24 news release in early 2014, once Sam Mendes has gotten his King Lear production up and running and Michael G and Barbara have finished producing whatever that non-Bond film is that they're doing at the moment.

 

For Bond 24, do you think Mendes and Co. will go with a well established actor / actress for the villain (i.e. Javier Bardem in Skyfall) OR go with a relatively unknown person that posesses all the right qualities to become a memorable villain?

[S K Y F A L L]

Tough one. I wonder if they'll do what they did with Bardem and try and entice someone with a unfinished character to tune out themselves , that would be my guess.

 

Who should I replace Tom Hanks with on my signature; Casting auditions 2 of 3: Val Kilmer OR Helen Mirren ?

[seawolfnyy]

Helen Mirren. Go with a female villain.

 

 

 

Will we get news on the next Bond game before more Bond 24 news:

Yes

OR

No

?

[GalaSilva]

Yes, but not long before due to the fact that it's obvious they want to have a break with the games, although now after the success of Skyfall maybe closer to the release of Bond 24 they'll announce a game.

 

In Bond 24, how will the next Bond girl die? 

 

She will be killed off-screen and left to be found (preferably in Bond's bed)?

 

or 

 

She will be killed on-screen either in front of Bond or just us the audience?

[seawolfnyy]

Killed off-screen and left to be found, however, not in Bond's bed. We just had that in Quantum of Solace.

 

 

 

Will one of the villain's, either the main villain or a henchmen, survive the next Bond film:

Yes

OR

No

?

[AMC Hornet]

At the risk of appearing to be trolling, might I interrupt here to ask what the point is of speculating on what will or will not appear in the next film?

 

Hoping and knowing are two immensely different things.

 

So I will simply answer NO but I could be wrong, and pose something more definable:

 

Better sequel appearance:

 

Jaws in MR

or

Zukovsky in TWINE

?

[seawolfnyy]

Well, that would be the very definition of trolling AMC and isn't every single thing we discuss about the forth coming Bond films speculating? We have a whole thread dedicated to speculating on whether or not Idris Elba will be the next actor to play Bond. We speculated on Bond 24's director even after Mendes was confirmed to be returning. We speculate on who will sing the titles, why we (think) know it won't be Adele, who Mendes will pick for his production team. The actors, the locales. When the film will be released. It's story. Everything. It's what we do here. Everything we talk about in regards to Bond 24, 25, Solo, the next Bond game, it's all speculation. The point is, that it's fun. We wouldn't do it otherwise. This is why we ask and answer each other who the main villain is, how many woman Bond will bed, where he will travel etc. If you don't like it, then don't participate. End of rant.

[thecasinoroyale]

So, bringing it all back down with a bump... how about.....

 

Which city REALLY comes off well in the Bond films over multiple appearences:

 

London

 

OR

 

Istanbul

 

??

[The Dove]

I think we passed over AMC's question about the better sequel appearance, so I'll go with Zukovsky in TWINE...At least his character wasn't made more goofy like Jaws in Moonraker..

 

TCR's, I'll go with London..

 

Better non-shooting death of a Bond villain...knife in the back for Silva in Skyfall OR Elliot Carver being crushed by his own sea drill in Tomorrow Never Dies?

[S K Y F A L L]

Carver by his own sea drill. 

 

My signature Bond 24 casting auditions 3 of 3.  Helen Mirren OR anybody else you would like to see in Bond 24 ? 

[The Dove]

Helen Mirren might be interesting...Perhaps she could be the late M's (Judi Dench) sister?? Hmm..

 

Which of these rumored, potential 007s would make a better villain to go up against Daniel Craig... Hugh Jackman OR Clive Owen?

[GalaSilva]

Clive Owen, just for the fact I haven't seen him on the big screen for a while and that he doesn't have a big superhero film to his name.

 

In Bond 25, they're going to introduce a reboot of Tracy Draco and in Bond 26, they're going to kill her off. How should she die?

 

By drowning, like Vesper?

 

or 

 

By drive-by-shooting, like in the OHMSS novel and film?

[seawolfnyy]

Drive-by shooting as in OHMSS's novel and film. Vesper drowned so we don't need to do that again.

 

 

 

If David Tennant were in a Bond film:

James Bond

OR

the villain

?

[thecasinoroyale]

The villain - to be killed off in a memorable way!

 

 

Will we hear more of the James Bond theme in the marketing for 'Bond 24' after 'Skyfall'?

 

YES - It will be back to using it throughout

 

OR

 

NO - Like 'Skyfall', it will mostly be generic but well presented action music

 

??

[The Dove]

NO- Like Skyfall, it'll be mostly generic...I expect we'll get more and more of the Bond theme in the marketing and TV spots as we get closer to the release of Bond 24.

 

X-treme sport stunts you'd like to see Craig's Bond pull off.. some skateboarding - half-pipe type of stunt OR some BMX type of jump and flip ?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

some BMX type of jump and flip

 

Tiffany Case and Fiona Volpe

 

or

 

 Domino Derval and Helga Brandt?

[seawolfnyy]

Tiffany and Fiona. I intensely dislike Helga Brandt.

 

 

James Bond in the U.S.:

New York

OR

Seattle

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Seattle. Haven`t been there yet I believe so why not.

 

 

Would you rather see a supporting role in Bond 24 played by a comedian OR whoever sings the theme song?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Theme song singer. Too bad Tom Jones couldn't played one of Bond's allies back in TB.

 

Better Latin American female agent assistant for Bond:

 

Bianca in Cuba in OP

 

http://jamesbondmm.c...ies/tina-hudson

 

or 

 

Manuela in Brazil in MR

 

http://www.jamesbond...ls/emily-bolton

 

?

[seawolfnyy]

Have to go with Bianca from Octopussy, although I never much cared for either.

 

 

Setting for a car chase in Bond 24:

Downtown Tokyo

OR

Off-roading in the Outback

?

[thecasinoroyale]

As much as off-roading would be fun in the Outback, I feel it would be limited, so add the danger of Tokyo - downtown!

 

 

In the big movie year of 2015 with many sequels and new super-hero projects, do you think Bond 24 will gross -

 

Top 3 of the year

 

or

 

Less then 3rd, so somewhere in the Top 10.

 

??

I agree. Last year I had a lot of fun just speculating about Skyfall and at the end I found out that the speculation enjoyed me as much as the movie did.

 

Back on topic:

Umm... hard to tell.
Skyfall was definitely successful at box office, so box office-wise it'll likely be at top 3 in my opinion.

Should Bond 24 take place in Fleming's estate "GoldenEye" at some point?

YES

 

or

 

NO
