well, I would think that the Broccolis, who still hold the rights, want to jump on recent problems... like they had oil in TWINE and media in TND and such

but with the recent stroublings, perhaps there is a chance they'll go to the non-fleming stories to get them filmed but I highly doubt it will happen anytime soon though

that's quite a lot, but I don't think that those of the '80s can be considered?

lau_timmy
Why not?

yerssot
cause that's kinda ... old now, no,

lau_timmy
Well I heard rumours that the producers might adapt Casino Royale into film for Bond 21 and that novel is very old. I think it was written in 1954.

yerssot
that's an old rumor and I believe it started with Tarantino wanting to do it messed

Reborn Again
A TV series would be better.

yerssot
I believe a TV series about bond would ruin the entire idea.
the cartoons about james bond junior were already annoying

lau_timmy
The Broccoli family is running out of ideas. Why on earth dont they use the Gardner and Benson novels? They have another 30 years of fresh material there!

yerssot
but they aren't running out of ideas, they're just screwing things up

lau_timmy
If they make the novels into film, I think they would change the actual story to something new and refreshing espcially with the old ones. Like the Ian Fleming's novels that has nothing to do with the movie's plot.

yerssot
well, perhaps they can get the titles? like they did with casino royal?

Kaleanae
They should make "James Bond: The Musical"



Not a bad idea...
I have never heard of James Bond TV show with humans not caricatures, have some of you seen or hear about a James TV series?

The Redeemer
They did an animated STAR TREK series back in the 70s. And put a bit of effort into it. An animated Bond one would be up to The Franchise of course and you know only too well how they have their heads up their own asses... roll eyes (sarcastic)

I wonder what songs Bond could sing... besides "underneath the mango tree"

At least he'd probably sound better than Clint Eastwood in PAINT YOUR WAGON! sick

yerssot
I never saw that one, and apperently it's a good thing messed

Bar for Clint singing to the trees LITERALLY, it's an enjoyable enough time waster! smile

yerssot
fastforwarding is a good invention wink

They should make 'Scorpius' into a movie, which the Simpsons parodied in "You Only Move Twice".
