007 movies should be set in the 60's

Doing the next one in the 60s would be an awesome spin and probably refreshing to the series.

Of course they would totally frick it up.

Who downvoted this? It’s 100% true.

Pay Henry Cavill whatever he wants.
Set the movie in the 60s.
Make the soviets or old nazis the bad guys.
The movie will print money.

Also MTV board - "I WANT BOND 26 TO BE SET IN THE 60s!!!"

Can there not be an original story in that era?

yeah

get Tarantino to write it

make it Felix Leiter character driven

The more I think about it the more correct I am I mean the Fleming novels were a lot darker than the Bond series with Connery or Moore you could even do the same story but a truer telling of the story or go with my other suggestion that make it a Felix lighter driven film but in the bond universe with the characters proven characters in the Bond films as opposed to these almost parody of sixty spy movies that were getting

Agreed. But unfortunately we’ll probably soon have a trans 007.

I read them religiously on trains backpacking through Europe a long time ago...because the paperbacks were thin and lightweight and you could find them in any used bookstore. Connery comes closest to the Novels, Moore is a movie invention.

Bond is a dark morose, brooding, widowed alcoholic that loves Bourbon.

That isn't film-fun. The movies we could call..." loosely based".

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. shows Cavill has the chops

There's a chapter in one of the Bond novels where he's just drinking in the dark by himself.

I think they might've shown it for 2 seconds in one of the movies...and then...lets get to the action and hot babes.

Its weird, in the books he mostly drinks whiskey (Scotch) but says he prefers Bourbon.

The Vodka Martini is lightly used in the first few films but Bond is more seen drinking whiskey.

Ian Fleming drank mostly Bourbon and smoked 3 packs a day...that was his Bond. The movies took a generous amount of creative license.

I don't know if we'd like the book Bond...they kinda tried to do it with Craig but they were out of material and nobody could write for shite.
