Well, I have been reading up on the new James Bond, Casino Royale, and I have to say, I think it is going to suck. I mean, how can you have a Bond movie without Moneypenny and Q? Or a James Bond film with less emphasis on stunts and gadgets? Its poposterous. People go to Bond films for the gadgets, the cars, the stunts etc. It’s a spy movie, it is supposed to have good stunts and fancy gadgets. That’s the point!!!! I think that this movie will flop for them. I’m hoping it does, so they’ll go back to what was good. I don’t get how they think that its going to work. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
I think this quote is pretty funny.
“Niether Miss Moneypenny nor Q will appear. Neither of them are in the book.†Michael G. Wilson said. “The film will update the novel but stick very closely to the storyline. In the story, Bond is just joining the service.â€
Its funny because, if they wanted to stick close to the novel, they should be keeping Moneypenny. He says that she doesn’t appear.
“Miss Moneypenny would have been desirable but for eyes which were cool and direct and quizzical.†That’s in the book.
Do you suppose he’s actually read the book? I mean, I haven’t, I’d like to, if I could find it. Anyways, thats not the point, my point is, he is the Producer, he needs, NEEDS to have read the book.
I think that they will eventually script Q and Moneypenny back into the script. I just don’t know about this one. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens in the next little while.
