Bond films on an even-numbered year or a odd-numbered year

jorgem

Five Bond films were held on an even-numbered year. Dr. No, Goldfinger, The Man with the Golden Gun, Die Another Day, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. The rest of them were held on an odd-numbered year.

Which one do you prefer, even or odd?

Bond films are produced every 1-3 years.

Until DAD, of course, I thought it was neat that the series only had three films that came out in an even-numbered year. They were Dr. No in 1962, Goldfinger in 1964 and The Man with the Golden Gun in 1974. These three were unique because the are the only three named after the main villain. So for the first 37 years of this franchise there were three Bond films that were named after the main villain and came out in an even-numbered year.

It's too bad they could not have come up with a better title than "Die Another Day" to keep this neat thing going. "Gustav Graves" would have been a bad name for the film, but dare I say that "Colonel Moon" might have been a decent title. Well, decent when compared to DAD.

I would have to say odd, because my two favourite films are odd - FRWL (1963) and OHMSS (1969) - however there are some really great films in the even bunch - GF and CR, especially and let's hope QOS!!


BTW - This is my 1000th post - it's taken me 4 years to reach this mark. It seems some people make 1000 posts in a couple of months, but hopefully my theory of quality over quantity works!!

Odd for me

This would happen until 2012 I think. 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of James Bond.

Bond 23 in 2010

Bond 24 in 2012 - This would probably happen in the summer of 2012 (around July). That would coincide the 30th Olympic Games in London on July 27, 2012. Let's hope that Bond 24 would premiere on July 20, 2012, a week before the Olympic opening ceremony! Both in the UK and the US would premiere the film on the same day.

Bond 25 would probably return on an odd-numbered year, 2015. Possibly a new Bond actor would play in that film.

I really can't believe they missed the opportunity of releasing CR in 2005. That way Quantum of Solace would've come out 2007. ('007 - get it?)

The directors fired Brosnan in '04 and CR was moved to 2006. :007) And theyn had to find another actor to play James Bond! The candidates back then were Clive Owen, Ioan Gruffudd and Daniel Craig.

Would it be better if Brosnan was still Bond in CR and QOS?

Would've obviously been quite different films, and not a series reboot. They could've probably sqeezed two more out of Brozzer, but...

I'm glad we've got Craigger :007)
