re: A Thought on How James Bond Films Should be done...In Short, go back to the origins!

They need to find a young actor in his early to mid 20s and sign him up for an 8-10 picture deal. Have him be recruited as the new 007 in the first movie in the mid 60s when the old 007 does on a mission or something and follow him into the mid to late 80s. Heck make his last scene as Bond take place at the fall of the Berlin Wall and he retires to let a new agent take on the mantle of 007 in a world with new threats (Middle East).
