Tomorrow Never Dies blows hard goat cocks, Die Another Day wasn't that great either, it didn't help having Madonna do the opening song.

 

I refused the prompt so it didn't play, so I'm going to come back in about an hour's worth of revision and try again. But if it isn't up to scratch of Licence To Kill [The Best Bond.] then I won't be pleased.

A lot of you are getting confused, its only the beggining part, before the song, that it shows James Bond earning his 007 title.
It may show him being presented the 007 lisence before the titles, but Casino Royale tells the story of Bonds first mission.

 

If the bond films had a set timeline, wouldn't Bond be in his 60's or something?

The films do have a set timeline, just not a real-time one, because obviously there wouldn't be 3 years between missions.

But things still change, such as the appointing of a new female M etc...

 

In going back to the very start in this way they have changed everything that's gone before.

 

If this film is a reinvention of the series (like with Batman), then I guess they can pretend Judy Dench was the first M and go on in that way.

But if that's the case then the other films no longer count to the storyline!

 

As far as I was aware, it wasn't a total reinvention, just a change for the series.

Does it really matter though? It's sort of like Zelda. None of the games fit into anykind of strict timeline, but that's fairly irrelavent to what happens in the game. I think 007s the same: Bond is all about gadgets, fast cars, action, fashion, villains and and being sexy and suave. Setting it in the past just to avoid upsetting a time-line which is never refered to anywhere else would be a step back and utterly pointless. It's not a period film. It's not really about complex character development over the course of several films. Just because we don't have the same cast or because it's set in the 21st century doesn't mean we can't have a film about Bond at the start of his career. You may as well complain that Wind Waker isn't really a Zelda game because it has a different graphical style to the rest of the series, or even because it isn't 2D despite being set earlier in the timeline.

007 Returns in '007?

 

May 4, 2006 - Citing Britain's Daily Express as the source of their story, FemaleFirst.co.uk claims that the untitled 22nd Bond movie will shoot this year for a 2007 release. 007 in '007, get it?

 

"The next one will be in 2007 - Bond's year," the Express source purports. "It will mean back-to-back shooting but then the next film will pick up where Casino Royale leaves off anyway."

 

The site says new Bond Daniel Craig will have to film the projects back-to-back while also doing promotional chores for Casino Royale.

 

Although producer Barbara Broccoli has confirmed in past interviews that series scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are indeed working on a script for Bond 22, it doesn't seem likely that the two Bond films are indeed filming back-to-back. After all, Casino Royale wraps filming at the end of the month and there has been no director or casting announced yet for the next film.

 

The more likely scenario might be that Bond 22 will begin filming later this year for a fall 2007 bow. That would mean Craig would indeed have a short hiatus between projects and would have to juggle filming and promotional duties.

I can't see Bond 22 being ready for 2007, but who knows!

 

Also, here's Casino Royale's Aston Martin DBS!!
