James Bond thread: Horror redux

Sam Mendes in negotiations to direct Bond 23

After Marc Foster this is the second most famous director to helm the bond series.

I loved Casino Royale. imo it showed a vicious side of Bond that I always wanted to see. I have only seen Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Die Another Day, and Casino Royale. They were all great imo. I loved the music and the cars. I also loved the darker side of Bond that Craig gave him. Made the movie more intense.

[Zombie Fred]

Interesting pick for Director. Should be interesting to see what he would do with Bond (and other characters) if he was on the helm of taking the direction on the 23rd film.

[Shadow Stalker]

I'm pretty fond of the James Bond movies: The Spy Who Loved Me and GoldenEye.

[Karui]

They should keep that vicious side. It made the movies more interesting.

According to Barbara Broccoli the new Bond film has been delayed

Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the future of MGM and the failure to close a sale of the studio, we have suspended development on Bond 23 indefinitely. We do not know when development will resume and do not have a date for the release of Bond 23

[Zombie Fred]

Vadar nooooooo. I hope MGM/Sony are able to get this solved as soon as possible

[aris13]

Nice going MGM....

Next James Bond Film Permanently Canceled


The latest film was shaping up to be one of the franchise’s best with Sam Mendes in the director's chair and Peter Morgan writing the screenplay. If someone swoops in to save MGM we may have a Bond film in the near future, we can still hope.

Bond voyage!

[aris13]

James Bond isn't going anywhere, it's a huge franchise I'm sure that they will find a solution.

[TheBatMan]

But by the time they do it may be too late for Daniel Craig.

The same thing happened with Dalton when it took six years to sort out the legal wrangle. He was a very underrated Bond in my opinion.

Bond voyage!

YOINK!

So stealing that.

[GuardhouseMusic]

But by the time they do it may be too late for Daniel Craig.

I'd regret it if that happened. Quantum of Solace was a mediocre film, he needs another good one to stake his claim, because Casino Royale showcased him quite nicely.

[BBboy20]

Why wouldn't Sony help?

[BrionIrons]

My favorite Movies Byfar are:

From Russia With Love
Thunderball
Goldfinger
Diamonds Are Forever
Moonraker
The Man With the Goldengun
A View To A Kill
A License to Kill
GoldenEye
Casino Royal

My favorite Bond games are:

Goldeneye N64
The World is Not Enough N64
Tomorrow Never Dies PSX
007 Everything Or Nothing PS2

Even though an un-official Bond Movie,Never Say Never Again.I do like it because it gave Connery some sort of closure to him.Plus the movie was also about if Connery could still play Bond like in his Goldfinger days and also about him breaking his promise that he would never play Bond again.Thus the name "Never Say Never Again".He pulled it off pretty well for his age(mid to late 60s).

^No "On Her Majesty's secret service"? I'm so dissapointed in you.

The same thing happened with Dalton when it took six years to sort out the legal wrangle. He was a very underrated Bond in my opinion.

Yeah, just like Licence To Kill was a very underrated Bond movie. It's my favourite Bond film alongside Goldeneye.

I want Daniel Craig to quit the role of OO7. OO7 is not an ugly and beef blond guy. He was fine in Casino royale, but that was it. And Casino Royale is overrated. People praised Craig for bringing a more serious and dark side to James Bond but Dalton did it (and better) a long time ago. Licence To Kill is the darkest James Bond. I love it.

[aris13]

Both Dalton films are great.

^No "On Her Majesty's secret service"? I'm so dissapointed in you.

LOL.Sorry,but not my most favorite.

James Bond 23 Producer Confident the Film Will Return

Both Barbara [Brocolli, his Bond co-producer] and I are convinced that we'll be bringing you another Bond film soon.

Let's hope so.
