Bond 21 - Casino Royale

Goldeneye is only on the N64. It was in my opinion the best Bond game and probably the best N64 game. It also definitely ranks in my top ten favorite games of all time.

Also what about Elijah Wood playing Bond? Not now of course but perhaps when he is a little older, I really like Elijah Wood.

I heard the next James Bond was going to be Brosnan's last, and that Britney Spears was gonna be the James Bond girl

Ah, thank you Caliber.

Quentin Tarantino want's to direct the first bond novel Casino Royale

Casino Royale? They might have to choose a differant name for the story (Even if that's what Fleming's book was called) becouse of that lousy rip off they made in the 60's.

From another place in time:

Some of my more creative plagerism.

Bond conversations to follow....

Sallah: You want the Ark?
Jones: No man. I don't need absolution.
Sallah: What's the matter, you Jewish?
Jones: No, I just don't dig on sacrifice. That's all.
Sallah: Why not.
Jones: The Ark is a sarificial ornament. I don't keep sacrificial ornaments.
Sallah: Yeah man, but it looks good.
Jones: Hey, the Taj MaHal may look like Marilynn Monroe, but I'd never know, I wouldn't look at the filthy street walker. The Ark is covered in blood, that's a sacrifical ornament.
Sallah: How about the Grail? The Grail was covered in blood.
Jones: I don't want the Grail either.
Sallah: Yeah, but do you figure the Grail to be a sacrificial ornament.
Jones: I wouldn't go so far as to say the Grail is sacrificial, but it's definitaly consecrated. The Grail has character. Character goes a long way.
Sallah: Ah! So by that rational, if the Ark had character, it would cease to be a sacrificial ornament. Is that true?
Jones: Well we'd have to be talking about one stylish, M-fn Ark. I mean it'd have to be ten times as noble as that Noah thing, know what I am saying?

What I've heard of Tarantino, despite the kind of movies the man makes, he's really got a taste. So if he was to choose Bond, somehow I think it wouldn't exactly one in one with the genre of his earlier works... Of course, there would be tidbits and trademarks here and there, but still.

Perhaps Tarantino could in fact be the thing the Bond franchise requires to freshen up a bit. Of course, <i>Die Another Day</i> displayed already some crucial changes to the drill (Bond not always coming out as a winner), but Tarantino could bring even more attention... and that's at least a sure bet.

<small>Heh, Horsie... <i>maybe</i> I wouldn't like to see Quentin directing and Indy flick though...</small>

nah Quentin would try to make it too artistic

what i DO want to see in new james bond movies is classic stuff. Not as much action but more talk. The real cool bond moments. You know what I mean.

He could actually make it more interesting. Bond is Bond and he's damn cool, but with all the movies I think they could push it all a step further. In other words get a differant sort of story that is a bit differant from what we have already seen without looseing the main elements. They have made 20 films. I think they can afford to take risks.

20 films made after nearly the very same formula... perhaps it could be time to see some real facelifting. Though of course, why to change something that still brings money into pockets?

<small>Anyway, I've noticed that there have been slightly different elements in the latest two Bond flicks we've never seen before. In <i>World is Not Enough</i>, we had M in a fairly bigger role than usual... and a Bond girl ended up dead by 007's own hand for the first time. And in <i>Die Another Day</i>... well, we saw Bond getting caught big time.</small>

I actually plead to see what Tarantino would do.

UPDATE

after a few months of no for sure news, Pierce Brosnan has announced that he has officially stepped down as bond and Die Another Day was his final bond

I have heard speculation that he is taking 1 film off in order to get a big payrole for bond 22 (ala connery) but I don't think it's so

what do you guys say?

I would say he is done. I also think that with the rumor of Tarentino considering a chance at directing Bond, (Casino Royale) perhaps we will see a deviation in the Bond legacy. A quirky movie in a few years, another short break, and than a fresh Bond in about 7 years. Just a hunch.

Yeah, and when we're on it, let's hand over the control codes of all the nukes in the US to Saddam Hussein...

I think EA is going down two different paths here. It's hard to have great singleplayer and great multiplayer in the same game. EoN has the ultimate multiplayer bond experience, and the upcoming Goldeneye 2 seems to be geared more toward multiplayer (it will be first-person).

where did that come from IG?!

You guys need to check out other Spy movies and see what else is out there.

There's the new one that I haven't seen yet: "The Bourne Supremacy". Folks are telling me that this reminds them of why they loved Bond in the first place, and this is the spy thriller to beat all others... better then any Bond movie since Golden-Eye.

100% of all bond fans agree that James bond should never be played by an american

yeah inter, that was pretty random.

I think I have a new respect for EoN as Pierce Brosnan's Last Bond Adventure, sure it's not a film, but it is the next best thing. The 1P was good (story was good, cool to see actual people, but I prefer 'IJ and the ET' if I wanted 3rd person controls

the co-op was ok, but EoN's multiplayer deatmatch was terrible, the only good thing you can say about it is that there is something else to do on this game (but you probubly won't do it much)



anyways, EoN is the last adventure with PB as bond . ROgue agent sounds like a very cool game (sounds, I don't have hands on experience) the multiplayer sounds very cool, check out the classic bond multiplayer maps:

Multi-Player Maps

Atlantis - Karl Stromberg's underwater lair from "The Spy Who Loved Me" returns from a brief and somewhat disappointing appearance in "Agent Under Fire", this time it's in all it's Ken Adam glory.

Severnaya - Xenia Onatopp made her reputation here by shooting all the Russian Space Division employees in "GoldenEye", let's hope for more "climatic" action.

Scaramanga's Funhouse - The testing ground for the million-dollar-a-shot hitman in "The Man With The Golden Gun" is remade as a perfect hunting ground in deathmatch mode.

Moonraker Launch Facility - Expect to see all the classic elements from the "Moonraker" set, including the conference room (which was cut from the original film script) - where players can activate the overhead thrusters to toast anyone in range.

St. Cyril's Monastery - Although one of the lesser known Bond locales, this mountain-top building from "For Your Eyes Only" makes for a superb multiplayer map.

Piz Gloria- A restaurant in real-life, Blofeld's lair from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" not only offers great ski slopes and a bob sleigh run - but will now become a top capture the flag location.

Golden Gate Bridge - the famous San Fran suspension Bridge that was featured in the climatic...uhhhh, climax of 'A View to a Kill'

Pyramids - from 'the spy who loved me' not sure why they picked this one, the 'liparus' would have been better then pyramids, but hey, the more bond levels, the better


the 1P story also sounds good, but you don't play as bond

this game is full of classic bond villians. Oddjob, goldfinger, blofeld, Xenia, ***** Galore, Dr. No.

Christopher Lee will provide the voice for his classic bond character 'Franscisco Scaramanga' aka 'The man with the goldene gun'. Judi Dench will again provice the voice of 'M'. This is good that they have some actual film actors reprise their roles (like in EoN). ALso sounds like they will have a Theme song at the begining by 'a well known artist' like Mya did in EoN

there are alot of really awesome extra's they're putting into it, I'm just hoping that these extra's don't take away from gameplay



awwww, thanks alot Inter! now look at what you made me do!

Bond shouldn't be played by an American if it happens though I envision the next Bond film involving a secret mexican plot to take over the world and annex Texas, and in the end the American Bond will through some mexican down the grand canyon and say, "This will teach ya'll to mess with Texas".

Note: No offense to any Texans here.

But all of the Bonds have <i>not</i> been Brits, so can we follow the route and say that all Joneses don't have to be...?

I don't really care who plays Bond as I never watch them until they hit DVD.

The movies have pretty much have been written/produced/filmed on automatic pilot for the last decade.

The only thing new Brosnan brought to the series was a new watch.

Omega instead of Rolex....
