bucketfoot Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Just now, James Bond said: GoldenEye 64 was my personal introduction to James Bond. I still play it to this day! Still one of the best first person shooters ever, absolutely incredible when it first came out. Fantastic game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, these two universes really are connected. On another note, I watched the new Lazenby documentary last night. There's nothing overly new in it but it's a good watch and it's nice to hear him talk about everything in a concise documentary. There isn't too much on the making of OHMSS itself but he does explain his decision to leave the franchise and stands by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Lazenby was going to be in Game of Death and was due to meet Bruce Lee the day he died, Game of Death which coincidentally in its posthumous form would acquire a ridiculously good John Barry theme. Something still came from the meeting as he ended up making three films for Golden Harvest including Jimmy Wang-Yu's Man from Hong Kong.

James Bond Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 He's honestly not a terrible actor. I've seen worse performances from A-listers than what Lazenby gave us in OHMSS. A little wooden at times but for his first role ever? He's pretty good. It helps that they surrounded him with top talent like Diana Rigg and Telly Savalas but nevertheless I think he would have grown into the role nicely in that "what if" universe of Bond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly David Arnold had emailed Chris Cornell a day before he died to ask him to be a part of this. The title sequence will no doubt take a new emotional meaning when it's performed that night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty convincing with Diana Rigg, though it may have to do with the fact they had an affair. Lucy dog. What made Lazenby convincing that he was bad ass in the fight scenes. Those punches look like they hurt. I think he is the toughest Bond out there. After all, he was special forces. He also looked natrual holding a gun due to his training. The best parts of the film was when he was Sir Hilly with his voice dubbed by the actor who played the real Sir Hilly. That and the ski/car chase that lasted like 20 minutes.

James Bond Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Speaking of themes, since the next film is presumably the final Craig film they should break from usual tradition and put You Know My Name over the ending credits. A nod to Chris Cornell but also a fitting end for the Craig era to come full circle. Seriously, that song and melody is such a huge part of his Bond image. Casino Royale's whole score is just brilliant. On that note - bring back David Arnold! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though there's been gaps between his films I do think the series needs some time for the batteries to recharge. 1 hour ago, DieselDaisy said: They need to dedicate it to Rodge also.

With the new Cold War we are in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 They sort of did in Die Another Day with China and North Korea but it was a wasted effort. A British Spy like Bond may no longer need to struggle for relevance. He is needed more than ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bond 25 will be written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade and produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. The film’s cast, director and distributor will be announced at a later date. No word on if DC is still Bond. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Unless they lock him into a 2 movie deal, this will probably be it for him. He just complains on the promo tour about it then a year or two goes by and has a change of heart. Of course this could all fall through, too. I think he's playing a redneck in an upcoming movie.

James Bond Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 There was a rumour floating around the Bond forums about a week ago that the film was going to be delayed a year to appease Daniel. I'd say he's a lock and that this will indeed be his final film. Glad to also have the official word that Purvis and Wade are handling the script. Now we just need a good director and David Arnold.
