James Bond offically dead

[iLikeHippos]

I hope Michael Bay won't ruin it. It's the very best if a movie franchise series you can produce.

If that deuce bag ruins it... I'll have no real forgiveness. 23 good movies, I won't like to see it being thorned at the 24:th.

Well whoever films the next one (and there WILL be next Bond movie, no doubt about it) I hope they keep Craig for the lead role, I got used to him and he wasn't half bad so far.

Poor story, ineffectual poorly defined bad guys, bad script, one good action sequence and then meh, dire theme tune, doubly dire when measured against the fantastic one Chris Cornell cam up with for Casino Royale.

wasn't Quantum of Solace based on a true story? well I guess I could understand that history is not the most exciting thing especially when its about raising the price of water.

I'm disappointed. I liked Craig in the role, and if it takes years for someone to pick it up, he'll be to old to continue with Bond.

Indeed. Craig was one of the best, if not the best, Bonds I've seen.
It's a shame that this has to happen, because that means, not only is Bond done, but Ian Mckellan might not be able to be in the Hobbit movies.

 

[Rakkana]

Awww, I liked Craig.

It won't be long till someone else picks this up though. I'll give it 5 years.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

As long as it isn't bloody Pierce Brosnan again I'll be happy.

 

[BiscuitWheels]

I must be the only one who hated the gimmicky bullshit that Bond became before Craig was given the role. Was I the only one who saw just how terrible Die Another Day was? Or realized the Roger Moore was a mincing old fart when he started the role, let alone by the time he got to View to a Kill? Pierce Brosnan was doing okay with the role until they decided to go crazy with Die Another Day.

 

[Bourne]

Daniel Craig is not amused.

 

[gjendemsjo]

For me, James Bond died when Sean Connery left the role.

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

shame. Craig was really good, despite the mis-steps made in Quantum of Solace. Casino Royale was easily on par with Goldeneye.

-m

What was wrong with Quantum of Solace?

OT: It's obviously not completely dead, but I do worry that Craig will not get the role again; he's my favourite by far.

Your right it's in a coma

 

[Yureina]

Good Riddance is all I'll say about this.

I won't go quite that far... but I'm not exactly sad about this either.

 

[MagicMouse]

Well you know what they say......"You only live twice"

It had to be said.

In all seriousness I have full faith that more films/games will come out eventually.

 

[Living Contradiction]

Since MGM owns the rights to the movies it is dead if you look at it that way. Unless they do what the article said and sell it to some other studio, there won't be one for a long time. $4 billion debt...they have to make like 2 Avatar income generator movies

MGM has changed hands before and even if they wind up having to sell off the release rights for Bond (ye gods, what a bidding war that would make), there will be future Bond movies. No studio would be stupid enough to just sit on that kind of property. EON will more than likely keep holding the production bag, which means if a new studio grabs the property, we'll still see consistancy as far as the content goes.

 

[B2kCyclops]

I really like the franchise.
The last two movies were not bad, but I prefer the more elegant/slick style James Bond had for almost four decades.
And since it is a cash cow, somebody will pick it up.

 

[teutonicman]

Shit..... oh well I'm going to go watch Goldfinger.

 

[sharkinz]

Daniel Craig made a good James Bond and I will miss him.

 

[Nazulu]

I'm thrilled Craig is not in it anymore, prefer a new direction even though I do agree that it would be bad if Michael Bay gets his dirty hands on it.

 

[Teh Karn]

He came back from the dead before. HE CAN DO IT AGAIN.
