3. Dalton
4. Moore
5. Lazenby

Bond Movie:

1 From Russia With Love
2. Goldfinger
3. You Only Live twice

i might be one og the biggest fans on this forum .. I've been collecting the books, movies, soundtracks ever since i was a kid .. when i saw The MAn With The Golden Gun by accident.

A friend and I were supposed to be seeing a completely different movie and ended up at this one by accident ... i was completely hooked.

My favorite Bond ... man its hard to say .. I was always fond of On HEr MAjesties Secret Service because it was so historically significant ... (bond gets married)

I love You Only Live Twice for the magnificent Barry score

I love Diamonds are Forever for the great vegas car chase and bambi and thumper ..

I love The man with the golden gun because it was my first - and Christpher Lee was cool

I love view to a kill because walken was the most evil villian at all (laughing while he killed his own men ...)

The only one i didnt like was Moonraker .. when some asshole decided to make the movie a comedy.

I still enjoy even moonraker.... bad, but good bad.

A view to a kill is considered the qworst, and there IS a lot that is bad about it... But walken is just great. He even laughes while HE is about to die. That old fart is yelling "Max! Max!" and he looks over, about to fall off the top of the golden gate bridge, and laughs..... Fucking nut...:D

yeah he has this holy fuck - hahaha ! look

there was a lot to dislike about that movie (tanya roberts as you alredy mentioned)

the part that drove me insane was the pure granite courthouse

rocks on fire .. jesus christ.

but walken went a long way to redeem that film and I was always a big fan of Grace Jones

Keep your eyes peeled the next time you watch it. Dolph Lundgren has a 2 second cameo, if you blink, you will miss it.

The funny thing is, i saw this movie WAY before i ever saw spinal tap, so sir Thomas Eden-Hog will always be Sir Godfrey Tibbets to me.

Also, ever notice that "Jenny Fleck" was the same chick who played Elsa Schnieder in Indiana Jones and the last Crusade?

someone was lobbying to be the next bond and he is a black guy .. i cant remember who ..

it doesnt make sense ... if you're going to switch race/gender on an established character .. just do the same thing with a different character.

It would be like having a white Blade or Spawn... doesnt make sense.

Thats how I felt when Will Smith did "Wild Wild West". That was one of my favorite shows growing up. Nothing against Will Smith but c'mon.....he plays pretty much the same character in all of his movies.And this has nothing to do with race. I love all people.

I can't say I'm too keen on seeing Steve Martin do the Pink Panther either.

i'd rather see an unknown 30 something Brit in the roll ...who can act.

I need a Bond I'm not going to associate with any other rolls.

Thats why Roger Moore was so unliked by older Bond fans .. they still saw him as The Saint.

Hugh JAckman as wolverine will always be in my head.

(the downside to a strong character roll)

Bond is mid to late 30's (i think) about 6'1" and not pretty .. he should look tough .. (that part was Jackman)

He is a cruel man. I'd like to see the Bonds get back to the basics ... a couple of believable gimmicks, a cool car, a funky villan ... and hard core action.

A couple of the recent bonds made an attempt to go in that direction - actually the Dalton bonds made an attempt to get grittier at one point.

But .. its hard to go back...

blofeld died in every bond movie :)

he always comes back ... it was always a double ..etc ..
or he just comes back with fresh scars.

the return of Blofeld would be a great way to turn back the series - old school ... but people now want bond to be more topical ... something they can relate to what they read in the papers.

Here's topical:
Bond calls the President a retard, avoids a natural disaster that kills thousands in the indian ocean, then gets filmed boning paris hilton, shortly thereafter he gets his own reality show.

And eventually ends up on "The Surreal Life", making out in a hot tub with Peter North and Chyna.(She comes back for another season. in the movie anyway)

"The Man With The Golden Gun" has probably the funniest lines in a Bond movie.
The scene has Bond(Roger Moore) talking to an arms dealer trying to get information on the villian "Scaramanga"(Christopher Lee). The man won't talk so Bond points a rifle at the mans crotch and say's "Speak now or forever hold your piece". The first time I heard that line, I think I laughed for 5 minutes. Roger Moore was not my favorite Bond, but I will say he knew how to deliver a funny line.

moonraker is the biggest example ...and the spy who loved me ..
(although i do like the spy who loved me) they started to become more like comedies .. and all of the action was gadget oriented.

Moore was a bit too long in the tooth eventually and fight scenes had to be carefully edited.

A little comedy has its place ... but it completely ruined Moonraker ...

Hell yeah I like James Bond 007 movies I grew up watching them until Dalton LOL. I think Peirce Brosnan kicks ass as Bond though. As far as my fave Bond movies go I will say Octopussy is a fave man I like that Maud Adams yummy. Dr. No in 1962 and The Man with a golden Gun and Goldfinger I like. Most Bond fans would say that Dr. No is the first James Bond movie ever made. The first James Bond movie was made in 1954 it was titled Casino Royale it was a Tv Bond movie that played 1 hour on the BBC. But in 1962 the 1st motion picture of Bond was made titled Dr. No. Another so called James Bond movie that I dont count as part of the James Bond series is a 1967 spoof staring David Nevins as Sir James Bond and Peter Sellers as James Bond the movie was made the same year Pinewood made You Only live Twice. I hope who ever plays Bond in the next movie will be as good as Brosnan.

"Casino Royale" was actually made for American TV. It was on CBS and it starred American actor Barry Nelson as Bond. It aired on Oct 21, 1954 as part of the series "Climax Mystery Theater"(Perfect name for a Bond show) it also starred Peter Lorre as the villian "Le Chiffre" and Linda Christian as the first "Bond Girl". Even though it was made in Hollywood it totally lacked any of adventure and style that the "Official" Bond movies would later have.

As for the David Niven film, the only thing I liked about the movie was the poster and the Herb Alpert music.

I didnt know Casino Royale was made here in the USA I just knew it aired on the BBC in 1954. Very intersting. I am not much of a fan of the Bond spoof Casino Royale with Sellers and Nevin. I prefer the Pinewood movies and speaking of Pinewood one of my fave Dragon movies was produced by them DragonSlayer. I love that movie.

Now this sounds interesting:

http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=8215

Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, producers of the James Bond films, and MGM announced today that Martin Campbell will direct Casino Royale, the 21st film in the 007 franchise.

This is Campbell's second time as helmer of a James Bond film. In 1995 he directed the hit Goldeneye which introduced Pierce Brosnan to the role of 007 with great success.

Wilson and Broccoli said: "We are thrilled that Martin has accepted our offer to direct 'Casino Royale'. He is an extremely talented director and we believe he will help take our films in a new and exciting direction. He is currently finishing filming 'Legend Of Zorro', the sequel to 'The Mask Of Zorro', and will be joining EON Productions shortly to work on the development of the script with our writers, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade."

MGM Vice Chairman and COO Chris McGurk said: "Martin is an incredibly exciting filmmaker. 'Goldeneye' was a wonderful movie and helped reinvigorate the Bond franchise. We're thrilled to have him back to direct the newest Bond."

Born in New Zealand, Campbell moved to England in 1966 and made his directorial debut on the popular TV series' The Professionals and Minder. He moved to America in 1986 to direct Criminal Law and Defenceless. Following Goldeneye, he went on to direct The Mask Of Zorro, Vertical Limit and Beyond Borders and is currently directing Legend Of Zorro.

Casino Royale will be released in 2006 and distributed world-wide by MGM. No decision has yet been made regarding casting for the role of 'James Bond'.

Now that "Casino Royale" has been named as the next film, the producers have to find a new Bond. These are the names I keep hearing about. Some are interesting, some ...not so interesting.

1. Hugh Jackman-not a bad choice, but I've heard he is too busy with the "X-Men" sequels as well as a "Wolverine" solo movie.

2. Adrian Paul (Highlander)-too damn short

3. Julian McMahon (Charmed-Nip/Tuck) again a decent choice, but might be to busy with his series and the "Fantastic Four" movie.

4. Rory McMann- never seen him act but he looks the part.

5. Clive Owen....nahhh.

well those are the names I mostly have seen , any other choices?

Some more news about the new film:

Director Martin Campell on Casino Royale
Source: New York Daily News
February 24, 2005

Martin Campbell, who directed Pierce Brosnan's first turn as James Bond in Goldeneye, is returning for the 21st film Casino Royale, based on the first Bond adventure written by Ian Fleming in 1953. MGM is targeting for a November, 2006 release.

The director talked to the New York Daily News about the movie, which will feature a new actor as 007. "There are things that will have to be changed from the original novel," says Campbell. "The Cold War elements will have to be reconfigured, for example, but 'Casino Royale' will be a grittier, tougher and more realistic Bond movie.

"We'll be getting away from the huge visual effects kind of films," he added. "In the new film, Bond is essentially starting out in his career, and has just recently become part of the double-0 section."

"The idea is to put a bit of the dash back in Bond. By the end of the movie, the character will have been forged into the wiser, harder Bond we know."

Owen Denies 007 Rumors

Clive Owen again denied that he'd been approached to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in the upcoming 21st 007 movie Casino Royale. "I have heard" about rumors that he's one of two finalists to play the British superspy, Owen told reporters at a news conference to promote his upcoming film Sin City. "It's the same as always. There's nothing to it whatsoever. It's just people writing about it. But ... it's not substantiated at all."

But when asked if he'd like to play James Bond, Owen dodged the inquiry. "Next question!" is all he said.

Owen appears in Sin City, co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, as Dwight. Sin City opens April 1.

Dear God!! Let's hope this is not true:

Orlando Bloom Up For Young James Bond?
Source: Dark Horizons
March 28, 2005

Sky Movies reports (via Dark Horizons) that Orlando Bloom is up for the role of young James Bond:

Sky Movies reports the British hunk is in serious talks about a series of films based on an idea by a new author about the early life of the MI6 agent. Bloom says "I love the idea, in principle, as he can be far more adventurous and do more stunts. This is as near as I think I will get to playing the grown up James for the next 20 years."

This film series, which Miramax and Dreamworks have both been barracking for already, would be based on a new series of young 007 novels which began this year with 'Silverfin' which has already become a best seller

More Rumors:

Owen Finally Confirmed as Sixth Bond?
Source: IESB
March 29, 2005

After years of rumor and speculation, actor Clive Owen may finally have been nailed down for the role that everyone on the planet seems to think he should play!

The Movie Reporter at IESB has a picture of Owen with the enigmatic caption:

"BREAKING NEWS Clive Owen confirmed to be the next James Bond? More Details to Follow 3/28/05"

If what currently is still just a rumor turns out to be true, Owen will follow the likes of Sean Connery, Roger Moore and most recently Pierce Brosnan as agent 007 in the upcoming adaptation of Ian Fleming's Casino Royale, the 21st James Bond film. That title was originally used for a 1967 spy spoof starring Peter Sellers, David Niven and Woody Allen, but this would be the first time that Fleming's novel would be given the "Broccoli treatment."

Martin Campbell, who directed Owen with Angelina Jolie in Beyond Borders, has already been hired to direct the 21st Bond film

Well, maybe Felix Unger was never played by the same guy twice, but Felix Liter was played by David Hedison in LIVE AND LET DIE and LICENSE TO KILL.

Hmmm, I think I predicted the film would take this approach back in October: http://hollywoodgothique.bravejournal.com/entry/6335

Connery Back As Bond
Sean Connery has agreed to reprise his role as James Bond for Electronic Arts' upcoming video-game version of From Russia With Love, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Connery will record dialogue for the game, and his likeness will appear as it did in MGM's 1963 hit movie, the trade paper reported.

Connery will be joined by other likenesses from the original cast of the film as the game brings to life such characters as the original Q (Desmond Llewelyn), Donald "Red" Grant (Robert Shaw), Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya), Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi), Kerim Bay (Pedro Armendariz) and Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell). In addition, EA will work with Hollywood talent to round out the game, the trade paper reported.

The game is slated for release in the fall on PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube, meaning it will come out before MGM and Danjaq Productions' feature-film remake of Casino Royale, which is scheduled for completion next year, the trade paper reported.
