Having read all of their Bond novels, I’ll go with John Gardner. He rebooted literary Bond, was very prolific (14 novels?), and had some nice yarns (Icebreaker, Win Lose or Die, Scorpius, and No Deals, Mr. Bond) though he admittedly lost inspiration later on.
Having NOT read any of the subsequent publications, which is best?
Triggor Mortis,
Carte Blanche,
Devil May Care,
OR
Solo?
After doing some Googling to see pics of these various locales, I would definitely go with the Transfagarasan road in Romania… I love the way it curves in a bowl shape in some areas.
Of the new character posters for NTTD, which do you think looks more badass?
Jeffrey Wright’s Felix Leiter OR Dali Benssalah’s Primo?
Well, since I can’t say Billy Magnussen, Dali Benssalah.
It is currently February 11, less than 2 months until the release of No Time To Die. When will we get first:
the second full trailer
OR
the title song
?
I can get on board with that. Forever and a Day and Trigger Mortis are both very good. I think FaaD has a far better female lead, one of the best in the overall series, while TM has a much better villain. Both good reads though and I’m very much looking forward to a (potential) 3rd Horowitz.
Back to the game…Gadget-laden motorcyle. I always love a good motorcycle chase.
Character most likely to die in No Time To Die:
Bond
OR
Felix
?
I hope neither but if I had to choose, I’d say Felix.
How do you think No Time To Die will fare at the box office? Reach the $1 billion mark like Skyfall OR just come a bit short of $1 billion like SPECTRE?
Which earlier discarded script idea Bond film would you rather watch:
a 1971 Diamonds Are Forever with Goldfinger’s twin brother(played by Gert Frobe) instead of Blofeld as the primary villain operating his diamond powered laser weapon aboard a Liparus-type tanker
or
a 1977 Moonraker scripted by Cary Bates where Sir Hugo Drax works for SPECTRE, has an underground base in Loch Ness, Scotland, his plot involves hijacking nuclear submarines and Tatiana Romanova(FRWL) returns as Bond’s leading lady?
