Bond 22 Less Serious, More Comedic; Bond 23 Set for 2010
In other words: less Connery, more Moore.
Summary
After the overtly gritty and serious Casino Royale, I personally predicted that after a few dark Bond movies they'd try to pump in goofy humor again. Turns out they are, and could actually start as early as the next Bond. Back to Article

on Jul 16 2007 04:17 PM what do they mean, exactly, by jokes? Last time they did that, it turned into Die Another Day. Simply atrocious. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 16 2007 04:18 PM Yeah, um, "less serious, more comedic," isn't that how we got from Goldeneye to Die Another Day? (Reply to this) |

on Jul 16 2007 04:27 PM In reply to this comment (#935213) If they mean 'smart humor' or 'homages' then I'll be fine. If they mean '****ty puns that ****ed Batman and Robin' then I'm not. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 16 2007 04:30 PM This doesnt sound good at all...but have faith people, I m pretty confident that they movie will still be gritty, dark and realistic like Casino Royale was, just with a little more humor to keep people entertained from start to finish. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 16 2007 04:31 PM Interesting choice of director, that's for sure. They shoulda begged the Royale guy to come back. Campbell is the man. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 16 2007 04:45 PM Might as well let Bay direct it if they want to finally kill the Bond franchise. At least then they could blame it on a momentary lapse of sanity. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 16 2007 04:50 PM I sincerely hope that this announcement is the extent of the "humor" attached to the forthcoming Bond films. They'd finally gotten the proper feel for Bond with CR; a less intense approach will point the franchise back towards mediocrity. My fingers remain crossed that future Bond films reflect the tone of CR. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 16 2007 04:50 PM In reply to this comment (#935310) I still have hope. I just hope that they don't take it too far. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 16 2007 05:18 PM Yeah, this is bad, really bad. And if they make a title by "***** galore" i think it would mislead some viewers to think that it is a porno. And i guess it would be a big box-office hit. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 16 2007 06:00 PM Wow. This sucks. Why did they even do the reboot in the first place if they're just going to turn around and put the franchise right back where it was? (Reply to this) |
on Jul 16 2007 06:04 PM Jmo2ski I think it's a fallacy that sex sells. If sex purely by itself sold, then X rated movies would do Harry Potter numbers. A bit of sexiness, a bit of titilation as the spice in a broader mix is what the masses like. Back on topic the idea of going back to a jokey, goofey Bond is franchise suicide. Are they stupid or what? We want some gritt, edge & realism in our Bond films now. We got that with the relaunch which is why it was so successful. Why the hell would they want to go away from that!?
