If they remade it then could it be improved and made into a good Bond film and be successful unlike the one in 1969? And my keyboard isn't working very well so excuse the spelling mistakes
The Bond franchise seriously needed Casino Royale... they should make this a total restart and I wouldn't mind remaking a few of the films... not Goldfinger though!

Hey guys. In response to the suggestion that some of the old Bond films should be re-made, I should point out that the producer of the Bond films, Barbara Broccoli, has confirmed that future instalments of the James Bond franchise will not be remakes. Besides which, I personally think that it's a bad idea; even though some of the series' entries have been less than stellar, I feel that part of the strength of the Bond series is the fact that it moves forward with the times - going backwards would be a step in the wrong direction, IMHO ...

The same is true for a lot of people I know when it comes to this film (i.e. their opinion of it changing with age). If I'm being honest, simply because it's quite downbeat (especially the ending of course), I've always kind of kept the film at arm's length, and for that reason it's the Bond film that I've watched the least; but I've been feeling for a while now that the time is right for a re-evaluation ...

I have watched all the Bond Films, and mind you none of them are bad. James Bond is a special character and every hero chosen to portray the role is selected after a thorough analysis of the image of the spy. It is only when you compare a bond film with another or when you compare two actors who have played James Bond that you come up with the quote that "The Film is Bad". "On her Majesty's Secret Service" wasn't bad at all....and why remaking bond films...they should never be remade, instead the franchise should be carried ahead. "Quantum of Solace" is already on the verge of release and will hit the theaters soon...it's high time we discussed that.
dude, if you write none of the bond films are bad, you clearly haven't seen them all! Even if you gag on Roger Moore, everybody knows Moonraker sucks huge balls.

You are quite right. OHMSS is a masterpiece. It is easily one of my favourite Bond films. It is also a myth that the producers wanted to get rid of Lazenby quickly. He was actually offered a three or four picture deal. Unfortunately he thought that the Bond franchise was going to come to an end as he viewed Bond as a dinosaur!
