20th James Bond movie title announced!

[MrBond]

Just saw it on a crawl on CNN. Bond 20 is going to be "Die Another Day." Here's hoping Pierce goes out with a bang, as this is rumored to be his last title as bond.

I can't wait for november

Edit: It's on the offical site, along with lots of other info. here

i thought the "Gold Member" or whatever it was, was better.

 

[NeoMadHatter]

gold member is for austin powers 3. i think. bond is awesome.

 

[glen]

What happened with GoldMember?
Do they have to change the name?
Is it stillup in the air?

I think all the legal stuff has not been figured out yet. The preview though now calls the film 'The Next Installment Of Austin Powers'.

 

[Spooner]

Why is this the last movie with Pierce as Bond?

I think he's a great Bond, that sucks.

 

[BeauJangles]

Connery was the best bond, IMO.

 

[PlatinumGold]

Other than timothy dalton i felt all the bonds did Credible work.

Brosnan is the best actor today for that part.

 

[MrBond]

<< Why is this the last movie with Pierce as Bond? >>

It's not an easy role to play, pretty demanding. Brosnan isn't getting any younger either, which doesn't help. He already hurt himself filming "Die Another Day." If he stops, it will be most definatly his decision, as I think the general public likes him as Bond.

There's a quote from the director on the offical site saying this might be the biggest Bond film yet

So what! The movie lost ALL substance when they decided to dump BMW and bring back Aston...cough...Ford.

Definitely...I can't think of another super-suave Brit in that age range...

Nah, they're just returning to Bond's roots. His first car was a Aston Martin.

Although I'll give you the argument that the BMW's from Tomorrow Never Dies and T.W.I.N.E were cool as hell. They're really going to have to work to get that Aston Martin at a level above that Z8, which remains my favorite Bond car ever.

Agreed.

 

[Zenmervolt]

<<Nah, they're just returning to Bond's roots. His first car was a Aston Martin.>>

Actually, Bond's first car was a Bentley.

Right, but the DB5 was considered the most important (like his switch from the beretta to a walther). Bond's only really shot Walther's, the beretta seem's insiginficat.

 

[Koing]

I think Brosnan is a great Bond. I can't wait to see it either!

 

[PlatinumGold]

It only makes sense for a british agent to drive a british car (aston martins are british right? )

 

[Aquaman]

Cool............... I thought it was going to be called 'Beyond the Ice'............ but 'Die Another Day' is not bad.

Cheers.
Aquaman

Personally I like the Switch back to aston...would like to see him wearing a Rolex again instead of an Omega as well, but it seems as if the New bond is about Merchandising and selling stuff, which is why BMW, HP, and Omega played rather large Roles in the Brosnan Series of Bond films.

I always thought Omega was the watch Bond always wore When did he wear a Rolex?

[sohcrates]

i watched "live and let die" the other night

ugh...man, did bond ever sell out in the 70's!!

 

[jamesbond007]

Brosnan's last Bond film!?! Who the heck will replace him!! ::kicks dirt:: Maybe if I lose 30lbs and can attain a Brittish accent, I can be the next Bond!!

I love Aston Martin. The V12 Vanquish is one of my favorite cars.

All previous Bond actors have surely left the set, but the memories, like the character they play, will never die.

 

[Buzzman151]

wtf???? I thought it would have been more like "Bond w/ 54 STD's..... and he still gets more play than any of you"

 

[bozack]

Aquaman.....

In Ian Flemming's novels it was written that the Original Bond's watch of choice was a plain Stainless Steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual with large Phospherous Indicies....

When this was translated into the Movies it was decided that a Stainless Steel Rolex Submariner would be used...

All of the Bond Characters up until the mid-point in Roger Moore's career wore Non Date Rolex Submariners on NATO style Nylon straps.

So Basically in all of the Connery Films, and a little more than Half of the Moore films Bond was sporting a Rolex. In one of the Connery films they did not have a Prop watch on hand and they had to use the Director's own Watch.

In the Middle of the Moore stint they switched to Digital Seiko's..which lasted throughout Dalton and only with Brosnan was Omega Introduced...this was a part of the "appearance update".

One of the Fashion coordinators for the film thought that Bond's image was getting dated and he needed an overhaul (Him Wearing Saville Row Suits and driving Aston Martins and Bently's would not appeal to the younger male audience) I also feel that there were some monetary influences involved seeing as there was so much blatant product placement. So with the upgrade of Bond he was given a More stylish watch which is more available to the masses, an Expensive euro suit, a BMW roadster, and a HP Jordina PDA (SP?) all in blatant product placement spots. Which is why I am surprised they went back to Aston Martin as it is not as easily attainable to the Masses as the BMW(Higher Price).

I find it somewhat Ironic that Omega is comming out with a Special Limited edition Watch (Funny how they call something made to the tune of over 10,000 pieces limited) to commemorate this film, when Omega has only been represented in the past three of the 20 made.

Also The Swatch Group, which owns Omega, is producing a line of those cheap Plastic jobs commemorating each of the 20 bond films...

both of which just says selling out to me, but who am I to judge.

Sorry kind of a Bond/Watch nut

<< Cool............... I thought it was going to be called 'Beyond the Ice'............ but 'Die Another Day' is not bad. >>

According to something I read on the website, ice/icy surfaces play a role in this movie. In fact, the Aston Martin he drives is a modified 4WD version (although we'll see if that's mentioned in the movie) due to the fact that it's got to be driven on the ice for one of the scenes in the movie. And one of the women in th movie is named "Miranda Frost".

I still can't wait
