SNOW and Craig skiing. 

I would like this too.

 

Also Q called into M's office, presenting Bond with an item. Like the old days.

All those things would be magical

 

That's an elegant solution to staying out of the classic but silly 'Q branch testing' scene and repeating the 'Q meets Bond in a random public place for forced thematic relevance' trick of SF.

SNOW and Craig skiing. 

 

Those are two things that definitely need to find their way into a Bond film in the near future.

 

 

Other things I'd like to see:

 

-A straightforward mission for once.  No more "this time it's personal" stuff.  It'll be 2015 when this film is released and the last film that didn't feature such an angle was release in 1987, nearly three decades ago.

 

-A female villain.  Preferably one that can go toe-to-toe with, or even exceed, Bond in hand-to-hand combat.  A villain that Bond is, and should be, very afraid of.

 

-Snow & skiing, as noted above.

 

-Yvonne Strahovski

 

-Action that is similar in style to that of Skyfall (i.e. action that doesn't feel like it's just there to be a set piece and that's all), but held together with a story that doesn't hinge upon unlikely and unpredictable coincidences to succeed.

 

-As few Q/Moneypenny scenes as possible.  My preference would be to drop the characters entirely, but as they're already signed for multiple films, I'm aware that's not happening.

 

-Keep the gadgets low-key, as they have been in Craig's films.

 

-M stays in London.  At least one film where M isn't a globetrotter on par with Bond would be a nice change of pace.

 

-Minimal focus on trust issues between Bond and the new M. 

 

-A plot larger in scope than what we've had, but not a world domination plot.  Something where there's something massive at stake rather than just the fairly minimal stakes that we've had in Craig's films so far.

That would be great. I worry Q will be on Bluetooth with Bond to much. I would love to see another secret location as great as half sunken boat in TMWTGG.

That is one thing I'm not worried about. I just feel like they have exastaed the personal angle to much. I'm going to give John Logan the benifit of the doubt.

Love it but who would you cast?

-Snow & skiing, as noted above.

 

-Yvonne Strahovski

 

I'm not going to lie I'm not a fan of hers some reason. 

 

-Action that is similar in style to that of Skyfall (i.e. action that doesn't feel like it's just there to be a set piece and that's all), but held together with a story that doesn't hinge upon unlikely and unpredictable coincidences to succeed.

 

Agreed. I think the action has been mostly really impressive and clever in the Craig Era. The only set piece/action type scene I still do not like is the subway deraillment, just seems like a waste IMO. Where is the real danger? Bond can step a few feet either way and be fine... 

-As few Q/Moneypenny scenes as possible.  My preference would be to drop the characters entirely, but as they're already signed for multiple films, I'm aware that's not happening.

 

I certainly could live with a little less Eve Moneypenny, such a horrible first name IMO. Bond just has to have a few lines with her while he is crossing into M's office, I hope she doesn't end up in the field again for some reason. 

-Keep the gadgets low-key, as they have been in Craig's films.

 

-M stays in London.  At least one film where M isn't a globetrotter on par with Bond would be a nice change of pace.

CRAIG ERA - BOND 24 (2015), BOND 25 (2017)

 

- Olga Kuryleniko, Stana Katic & Jesper Christensen return, briefly. Corrine's a Canadian agent, use it as a winter setting. Craig ski!

- M, Eve & Q all have brief roles however for Bond 25 the gang catches Bond on the 'job'. Classic Bond.

- Let Bill Tanner grow more in Bond 24 and the same for Felix in Bond 25. Maybe Felix meets someone named Della. 

- Bond 24 takes down Quantum only to end on a scene of a man/woman petting a cat if need be. Spectre and Blofeld return for Bond 25

 

BOND 7 - BOND 26 (2019), BOND 27 (2020), BOND 28 (2022 [60TH Anniversary]) BOND 29 (2024), BOND 30 (2026), BOND 31 (2028), BOND 32 (2030)

 

- Lotus, Cigars, Bourbon, Revolver, Gadgets; Basically a rip-off of the Moore Era. Idris Elba for Bond 7?...He's only 4 years old then Naomie Harris

- Perhaps they could create another nemesis for this Bond; a Chinese Gogol maybe. I feel like they need more military driven Bond films

- Why not create another Sir Frederick Gray like character to accompany M

- Bring back Sylvia Trench, Penelope Smallbone and/or Charles Robinson even

 

BOND 8 - BOND 33 (2032), BOND 34 (2034), BOND 35 (2037 [75TH Anniversary]), BOND 36 (2039), BOND 37 (2041), BOND 38 (2043), BOND 39 (2045)

 

- Re-introduce M, Eve, Tanner and Leiter if they haven't already. Perhaps the next M could be a lady

- Return to the Brosnan Era MI6, use a BMW or even a new car

- Start thinking about Introducing a new Q

- Continue the tradition of reusing performers for the title songs, directors, composers, etc. I think Adele will surpass Bassey

 

BOND 9 - BOND 40 (2048), BOND 41 (2050), BOND 42 (2052), BOND 43 (2054), BOND 44 (2056) BOND 45 (2059), BOND 46 (2062 [100TH Anniversary])

 

- Perhaps reboot the whole thing again at Bond 40

- Give Bond back a new Aston Martin, again. Bring back Blofeld, again

- The 100 Anniversary what will it be and will I be alive to see it...

- I know it's a little crazy but "Does it look like I give a dam"

Oh - good point!  I don´t know whether EON can still protect their rights to be the sole company who is allowed to do a Bond film anyway.

 

But if not... gee, there´ll be many McClorys, probably.

 

Another interesting point will probably come up when Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson will step down as producers.  Wilson´s son is already being groomed to follow, I presume, being involved in the production of the recent films.  I guess MGW will retire before Barbara Broccoli (maybe already with the 50th anniversary film?).  I wonder how this will affect the movies.

[Julian Arnold]

1- Daniel Craig replaced.

 

2- Gun Barrel logo/sequence at the beginning

 

3- No "revenge" mission this time

 

4- Bond driving a Bentley 

[jmarks4life]

1. The gunshot in the beginning.
2. Monneypenny at her desk.
3. M in the old wood office.
4. Bond coming in the office throwing his hat on the coat rack.
5. Q in his lair.
6. SPECTRE
7. SPECTRE's cat

[GalaSilva]

I'm going to bold my two most important hopes for Bond 24. I do stand by the others, I just feel like we're going to be promised the others already.

 

-A grand pre-title sequence

 

- A great main villian

 

- A Bond girl who lives to see the end, but maybe a secondary Bond girl is killed (I really don't mind seeing them die)

 

- A smart, realistic henchwoman who is bad throughout (I trust Logan with this one)

 

I'm begging Bond 24 has a femme fatale/ henchwoman in the movie as I personally believe we haven't been given an amazing female villain since Fiona Volpe, even Xenia Onatopp was a bit too cartoonish for my liking. In my eyes, she has to be like a villain version of Eve in Skyfall - she can kick ass and looks good doing it. I almost think if to make a female villain for Bond 24 they would need to mix  Eve and Severine into one character. I think the result would be what I'd like to see in Bond 24.

 

- This is not what I want to see IN Bond 24 but what I want to see happen when Bond 24 is released.

 

That is an ultimately pleased audience. There's nothing worse than enjoying a film so much and then hearing that most of the audience didn't like it. Fingers-crossed that we all enjoy the next installment of the James Bond series.

What happens in 2035? I don't understand, the rights of the Fleming books become fair game to anyone who wants them? The first novel CR was 1953 right, so does all literature become up for grabs after 82 years? Clearly I have know idea how these copyright laws work, could someone enlighten me?

 

2nd;

MGW is 72 now so if he didn't retire for SF perhaps he'll go as long as his health is there and perhaps even after that just a lighter work load....

Certainly interesting to think about. Maybe if Bond doesn't stay in their family they'll sale it to Disney?

In certain countries, such as England, copyright expires 70 years after the author's death (but the work won't enter public domain until the end of the 70th year; in this case, until the end of 2034).

In the USA, the copyright expires 95 years after the publication of a certain work. That means 2048 for Casino Royale, 2049 for Live and Let Die, etc.

If I am correct, if you make a movie or a book (or whatever you want) using Fleming's works as a source, you won't enter legal issues from 2035 onwards if the work will be published only in England (or other countries with similar copyright laws). If you want to publish it world-wide, which includes USA, you need to wait until 2048).

Please, not Disney. They used to make some of the best movies ever, but that was 30 years ago. Granted, the Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lone Ranger movies were pretty good, but they're already ruining Star Wars (and I fear what they might do with Indiana Jones!).

[tdalton]

I'm not really understanding how we can say that Disney is ruining Star Wars when we literally know nothing about the film at this point.

As for Disney acquiring Bond, I don't really care one way or the other. I can't see them doing it, as the whole womanizing assassin angle to the whole thing might not gel all that well with the Disney brand, but they could definitely pour a massive amount of financial resources into the franchise.

[S K Y F A L L]

Did not know all that, interesting. Thanks. 

 

 

I just through Disney out there cause I have know idea who would buy it. Your right though, Disney wouldn't be the right fit with their family friendly brand.

[JamesPup]

I would let Disney own Bond if they bought it. I am hoping for the best with the Star Wars though. It already sounds okay with what they are saying they will do. I just think of the ratings and content in the movies. I hope they would allow fighting, death, drinking, and nudity in their movies. If they do that then they would be fine at making the movies. It sounds strange still to be seeing Star Wars with Disney but if they do a good job I would be open minded of them owning and doing other types of movies. I don't think a person could do a bad Star Wars movie myself. They sell anyways if they are good or bad. But I have always like all of Star Wars' works.

As i understand it, it's a bit more complex than that in the case of Bond. Danjaq & UA have trademarked the novel titles and character names, so even when the books fall into the public domain, a company could not use the title of say Casino Royale or the name James Bond or any other associated trademark properties such as 007. 

 

In practice, after 2048, a production company in the U.S could make a film based on the novel Goldfinger, but they couldn't call it 'Goldfinger' or have Goldfinger in it.. or James Bond, Oddjob, Pussy Galore etc. and they would never be able to advertise and promote it in anyway as a "James Bond Film".

No, the copyright laws go over that, as far as I know. No matter if Fleming sold his rights to a company, according to copyrights laws, his works will enter public domain.

 

Thunderball, SPECTRE and Blofeld though are an interesting case, since McClory owned them.

Well as far as I know, if you are operating a business and own a trademark, you own that trademark and others cannot use it. 

 

As I say above, his books will enter public domain and can be used, but they will not be able to use any trademarked names and titles.

[Royal Dalton]

As I understand it, registered character rights would only apply to new material. So, the old books, once they're in the public domain, could be adapted with the original character names intact.

[Shrublands]

As I understand it, registered character rights would only apply to new material. So, the old books, once they're in the public domain, could be adapted with the original character names intact.

 

It isn't registering the character rights, it's trademarking the names and titles. All the Bond titles, 'James Bond' and '007' etc are registered TMs and can not be be used in money making endeavours by companies other than Danjaq & UA without licensing. As I understand trademarking and it's difference to copyright law, this will not expire when the intellectual rights of the Fleming books enter the public domain.

 

It is somewhat ironic to see that in new copies of the Fleming novels (I have a new copy of Goldfinger on my desk now), on the copyright page, we are told that Ian Fleming Publications Ltd are using 'James Bond' and '007' in the book thanks to a licence granted by Danjaq LLC. 

[Royal Dalton]

Sherlock Holmes is trademarked, as well. They don't change his name in film adaptations of Conan Doyle's novels.

[Shrublands]

Sherlock Holmes is trademarked, as well. They don't change his name in film adaptations of Conan Doyle's novels.

 

The use of 'Sherlock Holmes' is still a very legally thorny business and more complex things go on behind the scenes than we might think. This makes for very interesting reading.

Hi guys I'm new here and just wanted to start by saying that I would like the next Bond to be more traditional fare. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Craig's films so far I just think that from Casino Royale to Skyfall the style story wise has been mostly about setting up Bond's background and setting up the new generation of classic characters such as M and Moneypenny. Well that's been established now so I would like Bond's next adventure to get back to saving the world from a classic megalomaniacal villain with a truly evil plan and a good line in henchmen to throw at Bond. Let's face it, Daniel Craig's Bond hasn't faced a truly great villain yet. His adversaries have been harbouring motives more akin to personal grievances so far and although they have imagination they don't seem to have very grand plans.
