A new Bond could bring a new direction, even with the evil crumb vegetable at the helm. Remember, a new distributor might be involved as well.

[Blowfeld]

I am ready to welcome Aidan Turner as my new Bond overlord. However lets see him sign a contract first.

Problem with Bond is not necessary Ms Broccoli and her belittled step brother, they managed to make some decent Bond films losing their way shortly after Cubby passed away. The true problem was their need to make emo arthouse drama, with Daniel they turned 007 into a painful caricature of himself. The cover of the SPECTRE DVD is a joke, a pompous poe faced berk in a wannabe traditional Bond outfit. They forgot what made Bond cool and why it worked in the first place all Daniel could do is very bad poses trying to look tough, maybe its more smug about nothing. No gravitas to back up his bluster. (Daniel is basically copying Zoolander poses yet we are supposed to take him seriously)
From Connery to Brosnan Bond was not posing, he didn't try to make a smug face like he was suddenly a connoisseur of the finest things after living his life in the estates. 007 used to look like what he was doing was natural.

EON jumped the shark trying to follow the Bourne redundancy and Batman revival, so much their series ripped off most of the better parts of those movies. Pathetically so. Barbara's 007 was more two dimensional than anything Cubby's could be accused of. She hired writers inappropriate for the series and had to beg the fellows she fired to come back and polish the excrement. Her goal for Bond was to be taken seriously and she did not have enough material for one movie and did not have an actor who could carry the brand forward. Roger, Timothy, Pierce ate some awful Bond sandwiches but the audience never had to completely swallow bitter aftertaste (as the Craig era audience have) because their performance had something redeemable to it.

Poor Naomie Harris is trying to talk up Daniel. Hoping he will comeback, understandably so very likely she and a few of the other will be gone if they restart bond. Daniel and Sam Mendes said they finished his Bond arc. I can only assume they find a new take on Bond, classics is back in style. The 50 and 60 spy game is entertaining fodder again.

Daniel has one more in his contract, he is not gone until he is gone. That said many people are excited about a possible new Bond at this point his return would be a disappointment for more than just me.

I was going to make noises about these supposed UK producers calling the actor to LA, however this may be the studios involved wanting to see him. Food for thought Aidan Turner does have a relationship in a big franchise with MGM ( and WB) if it matters a t all. He also bedded the She-elf with Bond like ease

If that's the case, then every Anti-Craig rebel here are require to participate in Order 66 when DC retires. Either you're in or you'll be considered a minion.

As long as Babs is still producer, I have no desire to the see the traditional Bond return and neither should every one of guys here. This is what we need guys.

Two of DC Bonds got Oscars while none of Pierce got any. This is why that anyone or anything can be Bond now. Seriously, you might as well cast a Dalek as the next Bond and do what made SF and SP Oscar friendly.

Kind of funny eon or Craig have not shot down the new bond rumor. And its weird out of the 50 years of history this is the first time a new actor has let it leak he was in talks with them. I wouldn't think it's s prank cause this actor doesn't need it his career is on the rise as it is. But it strange maybe in the new social media world the old world bond secrecy is gone

Aidan doesn't need Bond and neither does Tom Hiddleston. What James Bond should look like is no longer relevant. If Craig can be Bond in Bond films ending up winning Oscars, anybody or anything can. Bond might as well be 5'7'' or black or redhead. I don't care anymore. I stopped care about the series' well being when Pierce was replaced, and that there was no way to bring him back. What we have been fighting for 14 years is NOT worth fighting for anymore. We DON'T need Bond anymore, especially for escapism. We got Kingsman and M:I.

What we should do is let those minions have all fun with the franchise while we look for something. As they would say, go watch another movie. Instead of hoping for the classic Bond actor to return, we should all feed those minions and especially the brainwashed general audience that, again, anybody and anything can be Bond. If those minions welcome the idea, let them have it, but if not, they'll know how they feel. This is what we should be shriving for. I've been saying this for years. Quite frankly though, I find the idea of fighting to bring the traditional actor back is COMPLETELY pointless ever since Pierce was let go horribly and that there was no turning back. I do want to the traditional actor to return as well, but the series and the way EON is running the series is too corrupt for the traditional Bond actor to return.

It's better for the James Bond himself to become recognizable than to have the traditional Bond actor ruled over by a controlled freak SOB especially in the rebooted timeline. It's like having the Enterprise falling into the hands of the Klingons. Why else would Kirk blew her up in Trek III? Let's not forget Babs dismissed Pierce horribly. Not only that, she gave not the only best since Sean but also a modern classic Bond a VERY unforgiving poor treatment. In doing so, she gave the traditional Bond image a bad name. If this is how that bitch treats a classic Bond actor, she's better off casting unconventional type actors. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Bond actor who looks less Bond than Craig is ends up as the BEST BOND EVER or the BEST BOND EVER SINCE SEAN. Again, this is what we should be fighting for.

James Bond is past tense. Besides, our days in collecting Bond films is over. Let it end with DAD, which is the last true Bond film. 20 (or 23 if you include '54 and '67 versions of CR and NSNA) is a good number to stop. Heck, I'm still trying to collect the previous of the first 20. Also there's plenty other films and franchises that need collecting. I hope you all find my words useful.

I'm sorry. Not when the control freak SOB is still producer. If you still don't get it, reply my reply to Omega's latest post.

[Kristatos]

Why? If FBF has given up on Bond, then that's his prerogative. It doesn't affect you, me or anybody else. I, for one, hope that the rumours turn out to be true, and if others disagree, it doesn't change how I feel.

[Veronica]

Even if someone appropriate is cast I don't think they will go back to making real Bond films. I already said I think it's much harder to make a good Bond movie than a movie that pretentious critics will applaud because of quasi depth. I still have hope,however small,that one day Bond will return. But I don't think it's going to happen as long as Barbara and the rest of her company are in control.
FBF,I don't think Barbara gave Bond a bad imagine because she made DAD. It might be a poor movie and really bad in the last third but people didn't ask for change because of it. That movie wouldn't even get it's toxic reputation if Barbara didn't go on and on how everything was bad and chauvinistic before her magnificent reboot.
She has no respect for her father's legacy and no clue how to use Bond formula so that's why she turned to "let's copy anything that's in now,add superficial depth and sell the thing as a serious arty piece" approach.

I hope you're right about Bond not returning when the psychotic dictator is in control.

You're missing the point here. The SOB gave the traditional classic tall and dark-haired Bond a bad name because of the way she treated Pierce, especially that he was left without classic Bond aside from his debut Bond GE. Two of DC's Bonds got Oscar wins/nominations while none of the Pierce's got any. Plus, those minions bash Pierce like it's his fault even though he had no control over content he was given, and they might as well trash the traditional types actors.

She has no respect for her father's legacy and no clue how to use Bond formula so that's why she turned to "let's copy anything that's in now,add superficial depth and sell the thing as a serious arty piece" approach.

This is why Babs the B1tch is better off casting rotten dogs (instead of classic types that we had with Barry, Sean, David, George, Rog, Tim and Pierce) as Bond. Looks don't matter anymore.

If you're looking for a franchise that is worth cared for, give your money to Star Wars. Heck, I'm ready for the 4th trilogy.

FBF's psyche was crushed by Brosnan's premature firing by Broccoli. It would be nice if a proper Bond took over now, and he could be part of the excitement that will be generated by Aidan's announcement, unless Broccoli is using this as a publicity ruse. I don't believe they want Turner to become more popular and then hire him in 3 years to replace Cr-egg, and they realize this. If they feminize Turner as well in tone, the hell with it all. In an ideal world MGW and the green vegetable will disappear with a fat buyout.

And let's not forget that Pierce was dismissed without a REALLY good Bond aside from GE. This is something I NEVER forgive the SOB for as she has forgotten the meaning of a classic needs a classic. Pierce was a classic Bond, and he was meant to star in classic Bond films, but that never happened after his debut thanks to the b1tch.

If you want a classic Bond film with a classic Bond actor, try this instead:

We don't NEED Bond films produced from that psychotic dictator.

[bjmdds]

Her method of Pierce dismissal was a disgrace. I wonder how she will handle Cr-egg's removal. Will it be in a bedroom romp or a quick phone call.

[Veronica]

A remake of real Bond films? Good Lord,NO! Why remake something that in no way could be topped? FYEO remake?
Come on,that someone would be compared to Sir Roger and probably turn out to be bad in comparison.
Just imagine if they remade Dr.No and you have someone doing that famous casino introduction scene. And honestly,in comparison to Connery...well,comparison would be downright mean.
I would like to find a way to send Barbara and her crew off to same island and bring in someone who would have Cubby's confidence and will to make real Bond films.
I think the problem with Brosnan movies were lack of EON's confidence(and sometimes directors-Apted for example)
and some consistent direction. Shifts in tone and style are obvious when we are talking about TND-TWINE-DAD.

I say bedroom romp as a goodbye for Craig.
After all,Craig is the most beautiful man on Earth. According to her,anyway.
