    Are you available to direct B25?

    That will only give @barryt007 the opportunity to reintroduce Kara!

    YES !!!! killed by a car in 5 seconds.....3 times !!

    I wonder how you're going to sell that idea to EON! :))

    Call it a dramatic Craig'ish memory.

    What's the biggest film of the year? Infinity War. Nearly everyone dies in that one, so why not kill off all of these jokers in the next Bond film too? They like to follow trends, so it makes sense. Get some emotions going in the audience and all that. Not as far fetched as we may think.

    I realize a sense of decency is customary, but $$ talks, and these sort of stunts seems to work at pulling in the punters, to my chagrin.

    They kill Bond in the PTS only to backtrack for the entire film and show us he's not really dead. Something out of a sitcom but hey... FRWL shades and all that.

    Personally I think there's a ton of more ingenious new ideas to use. Brainwashed, amnesia, apparent death, all been use to death (pun intended). Time to use the little grey cells and think of something new.

    Bond presumed dead happened two films ago, so yes, that's hardly an original idea.

    Boyle's big idea, perhaps? Just kill everyone – making the most shocking Bond film ever?
  • I think Bond being killed off could be really emotional ending if done right. I don't get why it's seen by some as so disrespectful. He's not real and it won't be the end of the series. They can just carry on as normal with the next actor afterwards like they always have done.

    I just see it as somewhat lazy most of all. I mean if the big idea is just to kill James Bond, that’s pretty underwhelming in the originality department. YOLT already had his faked death, too. I would be stunned if they could actually pull it off (death/ambiguous death) in any worthwhile way. It’s possible, but I sort of doubt they will actually kill Bond in the next one - maybe an ambiguous thing at most.

    If Bond dies then the series becomes a joke and joins the other series....thats me done....Damn i wish the only Bond i knew in real life,Sir Roger,was still alive,we need him now.

    Here's my instant pitch:

    The film begins with Bond doing something quite anti-heroic, to our amazement (Like Bond killing M). Then we soon realize that ex-007, having quit the service in SP, is now a very expensive gun for hire in the vein of Scaramanga. He is hired by an oligarch that has some plans of his own. Bond joins the villain's ranks and seems to have the fun of his life on the dark side of things, enjoying the luxurious life in Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian coast, and then, just then, while all seems very, very surreal, Bond sabotages the whole thing. Only then it's revealed that the leaving the service thing was a mission itself, something sanctioned secretly by M himself (who is not really dead). Oh, and no henchman, Bond would be the henchman, with a quirk of his own, a signature if you'd like.

    See? Done right it could be cool. Not that it's a completely original ideia, but if the organics of the piece were done differently, juggling with the audience and our pre conceived ideia of who James Bond should be, it would be fun.

    Sounds interesting, @Univex.

    Thanks, @Superintendent. It would be a good chance to see our man messing about in a very villainous way, while having non supervised fun. A more borderline Bond if you may. Craig could pull it off nicely. I could write it all in two weeks time or less, and make the script oscar worthy ;) (I know that would please BB)

    Really like the sound of that, but it might be a bit too bold for certain member's tastes who want a more straightforward, back to basics film.

    The way I'd write it, and if they like Fleming and the early Connery flicks, they'd love it (a mix of TMWTGG and YOLT novels, maybe). And while it would be a bit avant guarde, it would be more classic Bond than the last two films, that's for sure.
  • Maybe at the end of the movie Bond dies, but eventualy there is a coda in which M or MoneyPenny says that his body was never found and, after all the final credits, there is the tipical "James Bond will return". It would be a way to say: take it as you prefer.

    Anyway, I think we are paying too much attention to The Sun.

    The BIG idea (also known as Boyle's idea) was NOT to kill Bond. The article that claimed they wanted to kill Bond said that it was EON's idea to kill him and Boyle was against it.

    While I think the YOLT idea of Bond dying only officially was a good idea back in the 60s and even in Skyfall, I think nowadays the trope of "x character dies but then later we find out didn't" is overplayed.

    I love that pitch. Far more interesting and unique than simply Bond dying or something. I’d love to see Craig tackle that. Excellent idea @Univex!

    I'd actually like that as a film with Dalton.

    Honestly, I highly doubt The Sun’s story about Bond dying. My guess is the main reason for Boyle leaving was because he had less control than he wanted and just had too many opposing ideas to Craig and EON. But not the specific idea of killing off Bond. It’s possible I guess, but I’m going to doubt it until I see more proof.

    This. Moreover, it doesn't have any point since we all know he'll return in the next one.

    This is really cool, actually. It's pretty much a modern adaptation of TMWTGG's novel premise, except with the twist at the end.

    Agreed. In Skyfall it worked because we knew all along he didn't die (heck, it was shown in the trailers) and it was never meant to be a twist.

    If Bond is killed of, then I wont bother watching the film. I didn't see SP on the big scree, because I was already sick of the direction, so it isn't that hard to do. It's bad enough that they are hell bent of removing any mystery Bond had.
