    Yes, I read what you wrote and gave my own opinion. That a rebooting a franchise is starting THE WHOLE SERIES FROM SCRATCH.

    It didn't come across that way...more that you were misreading my post on purpose....I didn't mention re-booting the franchise....just the character... 8-)

    What I meant is rebooting the franchise and the character is the same thing. How can you reboot just the character? What do you mean with rebooting the character? A new Bond would be "rebooting the character", as in OHMSS,LALD,TLD,GE... Rebooting the franchise is something else in my mind, is starting from scratch and being open to re-interpret old ideas and update them. Otherwise there's not point.

    I see you've been handed your hat on this point by several others, so no need for me to add to this further...you obviously have your point - the rest of the world has theirs -{

    People seem to think a scene with a Fiat equals Bond "swapping out" his Aston Martin for it: http://news.sky.com/story/1380209/james-bond-swaps-aston-for-fiat-report

    I'm sure it will either be some major babe's wheels ( as it's cute) ;)
    Or in a pinch it's the only car he could get ? :) either way it sounds
    A great idea a night time car chase through Rome, pity they couldn't
    Work the Popemobile into it. :))

    Something like the Citroën 2CV chase in FYEO? I actually think this is a great idea. I visited Rome this past summer and after I heard that there will be a car chase in Rome, I thought to myself, "How are they ever going to film a chase scene with that wide, low Aston Martin on those narrow streets?" Having Bond drive the little 500, as silly as it sounds, actually seems fresh to me, especially seeing as the Craig-era Bond films have been lacking in the car chase department.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    True, with a tiny little car. Who knows where Bond will
    End up driving it ? :))

    I'd say the Craig era Bond has had some great car chase scenes, from the Aston chase when Vesper is abducted in CR, to the QOS PTS - one if the most exciting of all with that door ripped off.

    Of course, the Fiat 500 could just suffer the same fare as the VW Beetles in the Skyfall PTS... :))

    It's already a very popular car, I'd expect there to be awaiting list
    For it after Bond24 comes out. :)) , it's also more in my price range
    So I'll finally have a Bond car. ;) and can happily park it next to
    An Aston Martin. :))

    My biggest gripe with the Craig-era chase scenes is that they are too short for my liking.
    Maybe it's just because I'm young, and I grew up with Brosnan's Bond, but the Brosnan-era chase scenes are some of my favorites. Give me something like the parking garage chase in TND.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    I agree ( sort of) ;) in my opinion, it was really a car stunt in CR, not
    So much a chase. The Car chase in QOS did last the length of the
    PTS -{ , but was full of really fast cuts so you couldn't really savour
    The driving and stunt work.
    Hopefully with the Rome chase we'll get a more substantial car chase. -{

    I disliked the carchase in TND. It was centered around gadgets and not around cars or driving. To top it off, Bond was in the back of the car with a remote control behaving like a gleeful twelve year old with a Gameboy minutes after finding Paris dead in the hotel room.

    I agree , after the Death of Paris, you'd think he be a little more upset, but
    Having said that. I loved it, the idea of driving via remote control from the
    Backseat -{ , I only wish they had expanded the idea with Bond getting
    Into another car and then driving both, using the RC car as a weapon to
    Crash cars out of the way or block access to his attackers. :))
    One idea taken straight from Nightfire, would be to have an injured 007
    Being attended to by a lady in his car, while Q back in London has to drive
    Them to safety via Remote Control. Plenty of room for him or with Bond
    Looking frightened being driven by Q in a chase sequence. :))

    Bond could have showed no emotion during that car chase, fine. I found the childish glee displayed by Bond then as shallow, not cold. The ideas you mentioned both sound better than what we saw in TND. Using a second, remote controled car or Q remote controling the carwit the injured Bond and the girl sounds better than the convenient gedgets we got to see. A tiny saw inside the front of the car, what were the chances someone blocked the road with a wire at precisely that height? :))
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    The spinning saw blade of Bond's BMW, always reminded
    Me of the blade on the front of my toy Batmobile as a kid. ;)

    Don't mention that movie in connection with Bond 24 or 25! it's dangerous! :D

    (now that no one's listening, I get OHMSS vibes too...Blofeld and all that snow, I just won't say it..)

    Fantastic! It's about time we saw Craig's Bond in this environment. I'm hoping for snow action and a bit of mountaineering :007)

    Loeffelholz suggested " mountaineering " -{ great idea
    Would love to see Bond back doing a bit of climbing. :)

    It makes sense for the press conference to be next week if Christoph Waltz is in the film.

    He will have just finished all of the media stuff for Horrible Bosses 2 so you'd imagine that now the film is out, he'll have more free space in his diary where they can arrange a press conference for him to attend with the rest of the cast.

    So far just a rumour but it's been reported that there will just be a
    Photo call and not a Press Conference !

    Looking around other Bond forums, the source appears to be Marketto007 (via official insider), who is also a member here. I am more inclined to believe this rumour knowing it comes from him.

    {[] , I wonder if it turns out to be a Photo call, will we get any other
    Information about it. Or will we be forever guessing for months to
    Come. :D still thanks Marketto007. {[]

    No press conference? that's new. How long since they don't do a press conference with Q&A? And why wouldn't they want questions?
