Bond 26: Choose Your Own 007 Adventure - Blu-ray Forum

JediJones77 · 10-11-2021, 09:41 AM

Here is where you get to produce the next 007 picture. Select ALL the attributes you want the next 007 film to have. Make sure none of your selections contradict each other. They should all add up to your ideal version of Bond 26. Note that the poll assumes that Agent 007 will still be the lead of the movie.

Great poll!

jayman3 · 10-11-2021, 04:12 PM

I honestly wouldn’t mind a period Bond film.

DVD Josh · 10-11-2021, 04:16 PM

CGI de-aged Connery should be a choice.

Hindustani · 10-11-2021, 04:16 PM

Set it in 60s (70s will be fine too)

Henry Cavill as James Bond (Superman = James Bond = younger audiences of 18-35 demographics will gravitate towards JB)

QUANTUM as sinister organization (mentioned in QOS, SPECTRE is dead and buried)

Idris Elba as M or 1st Bond Villian in re-boot. based out of South Africa. Blood Diamonds is plot (DAF reference). BCCI bank used as laundering machine back in London. Bank of Panama used as front (LTK reference).

QUANTUM is based out of caribbean (cuba) and central america etc. with tenticles in miami, NY, London, Brazil, Caracus. Well funded by Cuba and Venezuala and Iran and North Korea etc etc (commie nations, enemies of democracy and NATO and West)

Bonds inherited summer home is goldeneye estate, Jamaica. Adopted family left him this property (yes. black immigrant family adopted orphan bond). This is bonds summer recluse when not in London on assignments.

GOAL of reboot
----------------
-Get Far Far Away from Craig Bond era.

-SPECTRE and blofeld is dead and buried. Never used it again.
-Go where Ethan Hunt and Jason Bourne will never.
-Aim for "trilogy" at worst. Cavill and every other bond should only do 2 Movies with option of 3rd. Once "trilogy" is done, they must go. to keep Freshness!.
-No continuing assignments. Single Assigment per film. with definitive ending.
-Keep villian end goals current and real. like building a parallel army to control Panama Canal out of NATO and USAs hands.

-Each movie length 1 hr 59 mins. 110 mins if fine too.
-Each Movie Budget. $150 Max. $175-180 only if required.

Idris Elba should play african blood diamonds villain for QUANTUM or next M.
Hugh Laurie should play head of QUANTUM organization at some points (2nd movie).

This will properly re-boot Bond. With connection to past bonds but barely any reference to Craig Era.

Hmmmmm - just curious, how do you de-age a dead person?

JayTL · 10-11-2021, 06:17 PM

I selected a whole ton of things I wouldn't mind happening.

Once Mr Nolan gets the A-BOMB done.....

He Dialin' it all the way back to 1960.....

"the origins of Mysterious Island called "Crab Key"...

...Meanwhile, enjoy the trailer

....Let the hype begin!

A white man in his early to mid thirties, at least six feet tall. Masculine. Dark hair. Someone not that well known.

James Bond smokes and wears a hat. He's ruthless. Romantic, but also uses women. Witty, but cool.

Set in the early 1950s. I'd probably involve the remnants of the Nazis in some way. Maybe the bad guys are trying to get at some international cache of money they accumulated or are using one of their former scientists for some weapon.

I would seek high and low for a composer trained in more classical music. There shall be no electronic instruments. I want real melodies.

unberechenbar · 10-11-2021, 10:15 PM

Great poll idea!

slumcat · 10-12-2021, 02:13 AM

No period piece please. The easiest way to admit that Bond is irrelevant and dated is to set it anywhere other than the present. Our Bond is relevant, it should work in a contemporary setting.

John1701D · 10-12-2021, 02:15 AM

Gritty, down to earth with an unambiguously heroic male Bond. Not a hard formula.

Justin2000 · 10-12-2021, 03:20 AM

A Woman as Bond might be cool.

Maybe make her Gender-fluid and hook up with guys and girls

nowadays, its only about electronics, tech wizardry and futuristic nanorobotics and advance smartphones.......

its becoming mundane, boring and redundant.

Maybe not 50s and 60s, if you had to compromise.....

70s and 80s decade was done bad in Bond Movies, would you take that

Bond re-booting to 70s.

I think more in terms of the villain plots. They should be relevant to the world today and plausible.

It would help the film if the threats her believable rather than fantasy.

JediJones77 · 10-12-2021, 05:35 PM

The only two major differences showing up in the poll from the Craig era is that people REALLY want Bond to be promiscuous again and not fall in love with one woman, and they want shorter movies.

Hindustani · 10-13-2021, 07:26 PM

Now that they got poison garden from YOLT novel.....

should Bond 26 be titled YOU ONLY DIE TWICE
