Inclined to agree, but without harping on, Craig doesn't quite have the right look for that, though he can look handsome. Certainly a more glamorous poster than the last two can't be hard.
I thought the posters for CR were superb ! Okay...probably not quite the 'glammour' that you're looking for Nap but I really liked the ones with Vesper and Solange...
Haven't had a good poster in a really long time, GE was the last good one. I much prefer the artwork from the 60's and 70's that had Bond standing in the middle of explosions, women, villians, etc. QOS poster may be the worst one of all time.

I was telling my wife about this forum and some of our wants,,,she wants to see Daniel Craig in a kilt.....she says, "Is that too much to ask?"
My wife had never seen a Bond film until I took her to see "The Spy who Loved Me" and she was hooked. I think it was the second film we went to see, Star Wars being the first..
So Mr Craig, make sure they get you in a kilt.
I don't rememeber any Bonds being in a kilt...?

I'd really like to see something of his everyday life, his home, his training, and maybe his friends (Fleming mentions ' a few close friends') I'd like to see some of that in between assignments ennui after a furious PTS of an unconnected/stand alone nature. I'd like to see the Bond/Leiter piece develop. in this Bondiverse has he been married or not ?
It would be great if we could see him prepare for his next mission, acquire or develop a new skill,or hone existing ones.If any of this were to happen 23 would need to top out at over 2hrs if we are to have a good balance between narrative and action.
It might even be time for him to visit Shrublands.
I like some ideas in this thread. Gun barrel. No more rogue agent loose cannon stuff. So probably less of M in general. Grandmum gives him a mission. Disappears and shows up later.We don't need to see her worried or lecturing him too much that just distracts from the story.
No Q at all. I don't really care about Moneypenny either. No smoking unless they have him give himself away hiding a couple times because of his smoker's cough alerting the villain that he's there. And hack up a lung after every fight and chase scene.
Some very un-PC gratuitous sex with one of those "married" women he professes to like that has nothing to do with the rest of the film. A memorable main villain and a dangerous, imposing, psychotic henchman who looks like he could do Bond in but of course is dispatched by Bond in a very clever but quite brutal manner. Actually I want two good henchmen: one who is all huge and pumped up on steroids and another who while not physically imposing is a psychotic killer with deadly skills.

Like this a lot. My hopes are along similar lines, but with at least one curvy/pneumatic age appropriate women (notice women not girls). Could we have a Blond or a Redhead please (don't give me 'blink & you'll miss her Fields)
I would love to see a modern day version of Sylvia Trench. Have her married to someone old and very wealthy. Also, make her an American ex-pat living in England (just so Christina Hendicks can be cast). Bond should also sleep with a hot female villain (for Queen and Country of course) then kill her at some point (for Queen and Country of course). I think Craig's portrayal of Bond is now ready for a little more "kiss kiss bang bang" and less "kiss kiss weep weep".
Actually, I think Craig should be desexed in a way. I don't like the whole thing where he gets nooke in the old tradtional Bond way. Let him have it, but don't make a big deal out of it, it seems obnoxious somehow. Have it the way sex is in Spooks, almost incidental.
Oh, I also think there should be a flashmob scene in the film, with Craig in the middle forced to do some dancing, with M say, just to liven things up a bit.
I want to see Ben Whishaw as the new Q. I`m watching the BBC series The Hour and he is great in it. He comes across as inteligent, good at delivering a witty and stinging line and he is edgy in an interesting way. I picture the quartermaster as a former armourer in the Special Recconicense Regiment. He should be the type who delivers shoes with daggers and lockpicks in the heel, suppressors for sniper rifles and mobile phones that can sweep rooms for listening deviecs. Belivable, yet interesting stuff.

Ben Whishaw as "Q"? I always thought "Q" was older than James Bond. Desmond Llewelyn was 48 at the time of filming From Russia With Love (1963). Sean Connery was 32 at the time of filming. Ben Whishaw will be 31 while filiming Bond 23.
If Ben Whishaw is to be "Q", then I hope they use the actor for many Bond movies, not just for one appearance.
I'm sorry to sound "racial" and "prejudice" (their are those words again), but I do not want a black woman to be "Miss Moneypenny" against the white British James Bond. If Naomi Harris is to be "Moneypenny" (not confirmed) and be flirtatious, I'm not buying it already. A black woman being spicy with a white man is a real turn off to me. I don't like mixed relationships.
I didn't like Grace Jones with Roger Moore either in "A View To A Kill". The kissing scene nearly made me vomit.
Why can`t Whishaw be the Quartermaster? He would be making the part of Q his own, not playing Llewelyn. Whishaw would be very believable as a young,brilliant scientist. And yes, naturally he should do the role for many films in the future.
Also, if you have a problem with a black woman and a white man flirting it is not surprising that you find the words "racial" and "prejudice" familiar. People say that about your opinions because they are.

Quantum won't know what hit it.
Really...I think a few Doctors may just disagree... :v

lol, i'd say it's about time! bond has saved our asses for 30+ years, i think he's earned a bisexual lesbian sister duo.

Bond at home or play is another good idea.
i don't think craig would mind this either...:))
Correct me if I'm wrong with my figures here, but 3 girls in 2 films must be a bit of a "drought" for Bond?
Well we are in the midst of a world-wide recession!
I didn't realise he paid for it!!

I'll say Grace Jones and Roger affected my stomach as well, but it had nothing to do with race. My prejudice is against ugly and man-like women.
