I'm sorry, I am so so so very excited. Rawk.

Holy crap. I didn't think an older Bond would work, but...holy crap. I'm looking forward to this movie now.

Wow, that was a great trailer...I had my doubts....is it Nov yet?
Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
Seriously!
Also, I'm very impressed with the official website, usually movie websites drive me up a wall... but this one is really well done.
And the car is beautiful.
And the new Bond's voice is spot on.
So excited.

This is going to be awesome.

Wow...
I wasn't really looking forward to this movie before. Completely different story now though.
EDIT: POSSIBLE SPOILER! Sort of, maybe... It's mentioned in the trailer.
I didn't realize they were taking the Batman Begins approach and taking the story line back to before Bond was a 00. Interesting in that regard that they're brining Judi Dench (and only her) back for what looks like a wholly reimagined Bond movie.

The beefier bond works. It's a different image, though. I'd gotten used to the Roger Moore/Pierce Brosnan A-line Bonds. This is guy looks at home in jeans or maybe caches(khakis), whereas the former two look as if they were born in an impeccably tailored suit.

And Q will be different. It'll be interesting... I think in a James Bond movie all that matters is that you *have* an M, and a Q, and maybe those other letter that I forget who sometimes show up.
Did I mention I was excited to see this?!
Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :
There is a Q? I looked at a cast list, and the only letter I saw listed was M.
Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
D'oh, I didn't even check before I said that. No Q, that's sad! Does this mean no Q branch? Ah well. I hope there's gadgets!

Yes, this film is a "reboot" of sorts for the Bond series.
Either that, or we're now viewing the James Bond of Earth 2. Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :
Casino Royale the book was the first outing as a 00 agent for Bond.
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
Oh man that movie looks awesome.
I am going to go see that with my bond guru buddy the night it comes out.
Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :
The previous Casino Royale Bond film was done as a parody, as I recall.
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
Um, Irami? What are "caches"?
Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :
Funny, I read that as Khakis and never even noticed the spelling...
