Fart City posted:Maybe someone here can help me out. A couple of years ago, before Daniel Craig was cast as Bond but after Beosnan left the role, EA was still trying to be in the business of Bond games. They released stuff like From Russia With Love and Goldeneye: Rogue Agent around that time. Right before Craig was given the role, they announced that they were going to make a new, original Bond game, and had even gone so far as to “cast” Bond with an actual actor. He wasn’t a known-name, but looked dead on the illustrations used in the Fleming books. And it wasn’t the model they used for Agent Under Fire; this was like an actual dude with a headshot and everything. Andrew Bicknell, a British character actor with a pretty grizzled visage, did the facial capture.  However he was voiced by Adam Blackwood, who had provided the voice of Bond since The World is Not Enough. And actually, I believe Bicknell was going to have his face used again in Everything or Nothing, then Brosnan re-upped to do Die Another Day, the contract of which covered a video game.

Heck it could even be a reference to the original film, wasn’t there an Asian character who was very much NOT played by an actual Asian?

Idris Elba has said he won't do it; he'd love to play the part, but he fears--rightfully so--that he would be judged more as "the first black Bond" rather than just "Bond."

I just can't help but feel like Elba as Bond would be too similar to Craig. If I was going to fantasy-cast the first black British actor to play Bond, I would have said David Oyelowo, but I feel like he might be too old now.

Their goal is to find that sweet spot where they rush production just enough they don't re-write the script into poo poo and just slow enough they actually have a script. Or we'll end up with a James Bond film where he has to fight a group of genetically altered super-humans because why not give Craig his own Moonraker or Die Another Day?

Yeah, the Annapurna deal for domestic distribution was announced a few months ago but there was a pretty fierce bidding war for the international rights, as Sony's distribution deal expired after Spectre. Sony, Universal, WB, Fox and Amazon were reportedly all in the running, with Amazon dropping out a while back.

Maybe it is okay to give Craig his whacky outing. Brosnan’s ended on whacky when starting from serious. I think Moore did too. I’m not sure where modern spy movies are but the gritty Bourne style is being replaced by Raid/Wick action and MI has Cruise doing hairball stunts so maybe some crazy schickanery isn’t so bad after Spectre may have wrapped up Bonds initial storyline. Give it Time Travel, space, multiverse, elaborate sets, James Bond goes to deep space at request of the Queen to find an elixir of eternal youth and life so she can rule forever to gently caress with Charles...that aliens have but it’s a tesseract that has Bond go backwards and forwards in time to alternate Bond universes so we see him in the background of Dr. No killing shapeshifting Nazi aliens and preventing Sean Connery from dying. Bond finally bangs his way through alien women.

Perhaps that can be the thing that sets Bond apart - it's the action franchise that seems to have stumbled into the cachet to attract these Oscar-winning directors and cinematographers like Mendes and Boyle and Deakins.

I tried watching some bond movies with my weird roommate but he made it so weird I never did it again. In OHMSS when Bond slaps Tracy, he goes "Ooh, yeah you were allowed to that back then! I wish we still could." Hmm. Yeah ok. No Bond for you.

Eh, Goldfinger is really good too, with a giant note as to the time and place where it came out (Look at Catch Me if You Can before watching Goldfinger to get the idea of what it did for the era). Then you have a lonnnnnnggggg time until you find another good movie (the editing in Lazenby's movie, along with the goofy midsection means I'll never endorse it).

I just can’t love Goldfinger, as much as I know I should. Between the misogyny of “men talk”, to the fact that Bond barely does anything the entire movie other than be a prisoner and observe what’s happening, to the blatant rape of Pussy Galore...yeah, it’s not a good movie. The car sure was cool, though.

The Spy Who Loved Me is my favourite Moore movie and close to being my favourite Bond movie overall. The only thing that holds it back is that Stromberg isn't a fantastic villain; if it had been Blofeld (I haven't a clue who could've played him this time; any one of Pleasence, Savalas or Gray could've come back or it could've been someone different - I like the idea of William Conrad playing him) then that would've been it. It would've been a "serious" Austin Powers movie.

I might've liked TSWLM more if I hadn't seen Moonraker first. Its the exact same movie but completely nuts. That and Golden Gun are my favorite Moores. Yes, I'm the one guy who loves all the "bad" Bonds. They're fun!

It's a play on Licence to Kill, which does not contain an earthquake machine. The earlier 80s film A View to a Kill, however, is about Christopher Walken trying to bomb the San Andreas fault line in order to flood Silicon Valley.
