I don't get it????
Re: I don't get it????
The Bond series started again in 2006 with Casino Royale and the geezer who takes over from Craig will continue the new backstory. Sad but true. I saw nothing wrong with the original set of movies - it lasted went on for about fifty years so it must have been good.................

The classic Bond formula wasn't the problem, it was the producers, who use Die Another Day as a security blanket to insist how terrible and dated the classic Bond formula is.Bejams wrote:The Bond series started again in 2006 with Casino Royale and the geezer who takes over from Craig will continue the new backstory.

Ah yes, the warm and cozy Die Another Day blanket continues to shelter the producers from going back to the old formula that they despise so much.
Hollywood is going through a reboot/remake phase recently as well, so I suppose that also influenced the producers to get aboard the bandwagon and reboot the series when they finally got the rights to Casino Royale. Plus, Michael Wilson already wanted to make a film about Bond's beginning back when Timothy Dalton was cast, but Albert Broccoli disapproved of the idea.

Re: I don't get it????
Quite right bejams. I'm a fan of the Bond series because of the iconic first 20 movies. The Craig series (if you regard them as a separate franchise because they are so different from the others) are simply awful. I hate the movies and the "Bond" character in them.
I was hoping that the series would be rebooted again after the 4 year break after QOS but Skyfall made about $5 billion worldwide so the Craig Bond series will go on....forever.

But the problem is that the general public will never separate DC Bonds from the original 20. No point of hoping the classic Bond to come back for the franchise is TOO corrupt. Bring in Idris or other ethnic actors as Bond for all I care.Capt.
