The James Bond Thread
Discussion
yep, skywall was marketing hype, I remember every publication going on about it so its default reputation was best bond movie ever!!111!! but in reality it wasnt great.
The whole moody bond thing was naff, The get captured to escape on purpose plan. product placement, nostalgic throw backs for the sake of it and that terrible song. skyfall does not rhyme with crumble no matter how bad you pronounce the words.

I read somewhere that Daniel Craig had signed to do another film at a time when he would have been expected to be doing the new Bond thing.
I wonder if perhaps the scramble to get him to sign on to do another might be something that would have been left alone. Hear me out here.
It comes across as a bit "get Connery back" type thing. In the end Sean did go back for one more. I just wonder if it would be best to quietly let Daniel Craigs Bond slip away and get someone else in now.
A sort of how it ended with Pierce Brosnan type thing.

It's always surprised me that Connery came back for one more film more than a decade after he did 'Diamonds Are Forever', he only relented to do that when he made sure his contract included making 'Zardsoz' and 'The Offence', both of which went in completely different directions from the Bond genre.I wonder if perhaps the scramble to get him to sign on to do another might be something that would have been left alone.

On a topical note, Connery's role in Zardoz was intended for...Burt Reynolds...

1. Replace Daniel Craig now instead of just putting it off for one film
Release date pushed back to February 2020 as well.
I'm sure I read something somewhere about how the producers started ensuring the films were always released in Autumn in order to get the best box office takings possible, ever since Licence to Kill got a Summer release and didn't get the response expected of it?

That isn't going to happen (and I am predicting Craig will stay on in a production role when he eventually does decide to pass on the Walther).davidc1 said:
Ohmss is the best film.a masterpiece. I spoke to guy ritchie before skyfall was made and i told him he would do a good bond film. And he agreed. He said it was something he wanted to do....
Too true.Shame the star decided being a hippy was where its at and allowed the greedy scotsman back in who proceeded to kick start all the pissing about with his comedy scriptwriting team.davidc1 said:

Totally agree, I couldn’t of put it better outstanding stand alone film.Agree too with Guy Ritchie at helm plus a new Bond ‘effective forthwith...’
TD series 1, well that's a masterpiece, and if I felt that allowing a director with creativity was the best thing for BOnd, then it'd sound like a good idea. But we have a hint that Craig is pretty powerful at BOnd hq, and look how the series has been directed in the last three films, into the creative toilet. It doesn't jive with what this new director has been doing.
I want the best for BOnd, but I do feel that this seems to me to be another ANt-Man/FF/Rogue One/Solo etc where a creative sort is hired only to be beaten up and s
tcanned for a company hack. I'd quite like the second half of that history lesson not to be repeated.
