Telly Savalas' Blofeld in You Only Live Twice. He was excellent in OHMSS and being in YOLT would create better continuity.

 

 

 

Shirley Bassey singing "Thunderball"

OR

Tom Jones singing "Goldfinger"

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I'd love to hear Tom Jones sing 'Goldfinger'.

 

 

Who would you like to see in 'Bond 24' playing an MI6 contact out in the field:

 

Tom Hanks as the Head of Section C

 

OR

 

Gary Oldman as the Head of Section A

 

??

[The Dove]

Gary Oldman as the Head of Section A..

 

 

Which "Sherlock" actor would work better in a future Bond film...Martin Freeman as "Q' OR Benedict Cumberbatch as a Bond villain?

[seawolfnyy]

Cumberbatch as a villain.

 

 

 

Nancy Sinatra sings "Diamonds Are Forever"

OR

Lulu sings "You Only Live Twice"

?

[glidrose]

Lulu sings YOLT, with that bad cold of hers.

 

Roger Moore and Sean Connery sing "Another Way to Die"

 

or

 

Tee Hee from LALD is your proctologist.

 

Decisions, decisions...

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be Connery and Moore - could be a novel Christmas number one!

 

 

Will we see another re-boot of James Bond in our time, like the transition from Craig's character to a "new" one?

 

YES - It will take time, but Craig's established character, like Connery's, will be rebooted once more to keep it modern and fresh

 

OR

 

NO - This was a big risk and it worked, so this character will be the new 007 and moulded to work over the years

 

??

[The Dove]

I'd say YES, but probably not quite as dramatic a reboot as it was from Brosnan's 007 to Craig's 007...

 

Previous Bond locales that you'd like to see Craig's 007 pay a visit to...Piz Gloria in Murren, Switzerland OR Osato Chemicals (aka the New Otani Hotel) in Tokyo?

[S K Y F A L L]

Osato Chemicals (aka the New Otani Hotel) in Tokyo. Piz Gloria just shouldn't be touched IMO.

 

 

How would you rather have Bond 24 start off; Bond and Moneypenny playing paintball OR Bond and M playing chess?

[glidrose]

Bond and M playing chess.

 

Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby singing "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" as the Bond24 title song

 

or

 

'69 with Jaws.

[seawolfnyy]

'69 with Jaws. It could be Sharknado 2.

 

 

 

Elizabeth Sladen as Andrea Anders

OR

Maud Adams as Sarah Jane Smith

?

[The Dove]

Maud Adams as Sarah Jane Smith...

 

 

Pierce Brosnan OR Daniel Craig as The Doctor ??

[AMC Hornet]

When - now or in their prime?

[The Dove]

Just in general, at any point in their career..

[AMC Hornet]

In that case, Pierce, between 1989-1995 - during the time he missed out on Bond and Dr. Who was in limbo (Sylvester McCoy-Paul McGann).

Do we really want a pugnacious Doctor who's all fists and little imagination?

 

The villain in B24:

 

Another techno-terrorist a la Silva;

another bloated capitalist a la Goldfinger or Drax

or

Another physical match a la Largo or Trevelyan

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Another physical match for Craig while he is still young and since he did not really fight Silva in SF. 

 

 

 

An old one but a classic; will Bond 24 feature a Bond villain's lair OR could SF have started a trend?

[seawolfnyy]

With Mendes on board? SF will have started a trend.

 

 

More potential as the Doctor:

Pierce

or

Roger

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Age wise, has to be Pierce for what he could bring to the role.

 

 

Will James Bond ever touch upon sci-fi themes again?

 

YES - It sort of worked for 'Moonraker' and future global events will deem it vital for 007 to touch outer space again

 

OR

 

NO - It didn't really work in 'Moonraker' and 007 should always stay grounded, regardless of the future global themes

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Yes, but not for the reasons you mentioned. Eventually, Bond will move past the more realistic adventures and once again dabble in the crazy pool. We will get more Moonraker/Die Another Day spacey adventures.

 

 

 

Bond 25 will release in:

2017

OR

2018

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Tough one. I want to say 2017 but probably more likely 2018.

 

Better location for Bond 24; The Wall of China OR The Taj Mahal in India?

[seawolfnyy]

The Taj Mahal. We just had China in Skyfall, so let's have Bond travel to India in B24.

 

 

 

What would Bond do at the Taj:

Meet a contact in the field like he did with Q at the museum in Skyfall

OR

Chase a henchman throughout it like he did with Mitchell through the sewers/streets of Sienna in Quantum of Solace

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I'd like him to meet a contact in the field like he did with Q at the museum in 'Skyfall', to take in the beauty of a location like that rather than use it as a backdrop for a big chase scene.

 

 

Are glamorous locations and iconic buildings best used...

 

As backdrops and quiet meeting spots for Bond and his allies or enemies

 

OR

 

As foundations for action sequences on land, sea or air

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Backdrops and quiet meeting spots for Bond and his allies. You can't really take in the majesty and beauty of these iconic structures in the middle of a frantic chase. Let's not forget that ugly chase between Bond and Mayday up the Eiffel Tower in AVTAK. However, Mendes did do a great job with Istanbul's Grand Bazaar in Skyfall....

 

 

 

What other iconic structure would you like to see in a future Bond film:

Burj Khalifa in Dubai

OR

Wembley Stadium in London

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Sorry London, but has to be the Burj Khalifa, it could lead to some stunning visuals.

 

 

Will Sam Mendes return for 'Bond 25'?

 

YES - If 'Bond 24' continues the success and appreciation for Bond as 'Skyfall' did, and with the right cast and crew, Mendes could return!

 

OR

 

NO - It was hard enough him to return for one more, and he has greater direction to take than just become a staple Bond director

 

??

[The Dove]

YES...I think that especially if Bond 25 does indeed appear to be Daniel Craig's last Bond film and if Bond 24 turns out to be just as successful as Skyfall, then I believe Mendes would return for one final film.

 

Mr. White and the Quantum organization...Have we seen the last of them OR do you think they'll appear in Bond 24 or 25?

[seawolfnyy]

We've seen the last of them.

 

 

 

Karen Gillan as Strawberry Fields

OR

Gemma Arterton as Amy Pond

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Gemma Arterton as Amy Pond. Not a DW fan, but do love Arterton.

 

Will we see James Bond married again on screen?

 

NO - It happened once, iconically, and that was enough to craft the character over 40 years

 

OR

 

YES - Give him the right woman, the right story and motive and we may see Bond marry again

 

??

[The Dove]

I'd say NO...

 

 

Which classic Bond-captured-and-being-tortured sequence would you like to see revamped for Daniel Craig in either Bond 24 or 25?

 

The Goldfinger laser scene OR the Bond escaping via the cable car wire scene from OHMSS?

[seawolfnyy]

Escaping via the cable car in OHMSS. I'd love to see Craig tackle that story.

 

 

Silva in OHMSS

OR

Blofeld (Savalas) in SF

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Gotta be Silva in 'OHMSS'. Never liked Savalas as Blofeld.

 

 

Following Dove's question, which classic Bond-chases-villain sequence would you like to see a homage to in 'Bond 24' -

 

Bond chases down the villain in a hijacked tanker truck a'la 'Licence To Kill'

 

OR

 

Bond chases down a team of villains in a tank, a'a 'GoldenEye'

 

??

[S K Y F A L L]

A tanker truck. I think it would be harder to find a reason for a tank sequence. 

 

 

What Bond stunt would you rather see in Bond 24; driving a vehicle on half it's tires (DAF, LTK) OR a barrel roll (LALD, TWINE) ?
