The next Bond

[chrismpw]

Bit of a fun fact for you here actually Chris: he’s not a real person

Pretty sure I referred to the character. Unlike most humans I have a firm grasp on reality I think.

It’s not like getting Will Smith to portray the queen or something

Jane Bond?

Bond, Janes Bond...

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Although I would certainly watch this film

Yes he was bad too, fave in order to how I think he is in the books
Dalton
Craig
Connery
Bronson
Lazenby
Moore

Apparently a lot of bond fans say that brosnan was the closest to the books as he balanced the humour and action scenes better than anyone. I never really rated him as bond at the time, but on reflection, if he had been given better material to work with (other than goldeneye, which was good) his legacy would probably be more appreciated.

It’s a shame that one of the best bond movies was ruined by probably the worst bond of the lot in George lazenby.

Neither is Roy of the rovers, but fans of the comics wouldn’t appreciate any changes to his character.

It would be great if it was a woman, just for the reaction - even more so if it was a black woman.

I wonder which previous bond theme would make the most ironic song if bond gets sex changed. And which song would be most easily modified....

I'm on all the Bond sites and used to belong to a Bond book club and never seen anyone say Brosnam was nearest to the books, usually Dalton then Craig. He certainly the prettiest of the Bonds though and more human than the others. Wish Dalton had still been around to do Goldeneye to see his interpretation of it.
I was never a lover of the story of OHMSS so who ever did it I probably would have disliked it. Lazenby was so stiff and to think he was only about 28 when he made it, he looked in his 40's.

You're not getting me with this again.
As for Lazenby, it was the stress weighing him down, he must have known he was on for a hiding.
