James Bond could come to Australia, if actor Daniel Craig has his way
Bounine said:I can't help but thinks this too. The current Bond actor is usually very positive towards Australia when asked. I seem to recall tht Brosnan was constantly questioned about it, and he always said he would love to do a Bond film her…

What do you consider the direst moment in a Bond film?
My most dire moment? "This never happened to the other fella!" Forever cemented in my mind the thought of George Lazenby as nothing more than a pretender in the role of James Bond. My second-most dire moment was the way Bond seduced eve…

Char35t said:HQ in AUS or NZ would be a great idea in a mining complex. Then you have the shipping, military, secret, test, haarp bases. But that's generic stuff - a secret base, or a mineral mine could reasonably be anywhere else in the world.…

Does anybody have an answer about this? shadowonthesun said:I've found a bug, but I'm not sure if it's been reported. Sometimes I get a little semi-transpartent grey box floating over the "MI6 HQ" tab at the top of the page,…

Nevertheless, I still feel that your approach to Bond is untenable, impractical and largely impossible. I honestly think you've fundamentally misinterpreted not only Bond, but storytelling in general. However, I am trying to understand your poi…

Here: DaltonCraig007 said:the plot is the pinch of salt that is the very basic final element, that often you don't even notice. Note the use of word "final", which implies it is the last thing added in. Almost as an afterthought.

It's funny you should say you don't care about the plot, because without a plot, none of the things that you do care about could be put into the film. In fact, I'm pretty sure that your ideal Bond film is practically unfilmable. If by…

Can we maybe stick to one metaphor here? So far we've had meals, the human body and houses ... and all in the past fifteen minutes. My head is starting to hurt from all the mixed metaphors. DaltonCraig007 said:the plot is the pinch of salt tha…

Thank you, Dimi. Now you understand why I find DC's stance so confusing. The gadgets, the humour, the girls and the exotic locales all play their own part in the films, particularly when it comes to defining the look and the feel of them. I am …

I just don't understand where all this "the plot is unimportant" business is coming from. Each of the novels had very strong plots, even if there were a few issues with the finer aspects of the storytelling (ie one of the changes tha…

Hey, I'm not looking for a fight here. I'm just trying to understand DC007's opinion since it doesn't make much sense to me, so I'm asking what I think are perfectly reasonable questions. How he wants to take that is entirel…

And which Bond film has ever done that? In twenty-two films, there have been twenty-two plots. Bond has never gone to exotic countries, met women, used gadgets or made one-liners without first having a reason to go there. Which Bond film(s) have no …

If Mr. White returns for future Bond films(Craig films or future films) who would play him?
Librarian said:And if Mr. Christensen won't agree to come back producers will use filmed and unused scene from QoS with Haines and White. Not necessarily. The director may not choose to use it at all.

But ... why Perth? I was there once. I remember the roads turned to dirt about thirty metres after turning off the arterial roads.

I can't think of anything Australia-specific unless it's something like a Pakistani cricketer claiming political asylum during a test match in Australia because he knows something damaging. Like Zulqarnain Haider who disappeared during a t…

But that's your whole generic plot line, like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2. Whatever happens in the story could reasonably happen anywhere on earth. Also, let it be known that anybody who suggests Bond visit 'the Outback' gets punched.

I'm only interested in Australia appearing if it fits the demands of the story. Shoe-horning it in is not an option. And as it stands, Australia doesn't hold much weight geopolitically. So unless BOND 24's story revolves around the Gi…

Another Lost Bond Film?
Didn't McClory say he wanted Pierce Brosnan in the role at one point? Brosnan was approached for THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS, but then "Remington Steele" got renewed and he was forced out. I seem to recall something about McClory wanting to …
