It’s not that I’m clamoring for it, I just would be fine with it if that’s the route they went down. There’s something to be said for having an interest in seeing how something written in the 50’s/60’s would translate to modern sensibilities.

Look at a character like Moneypenny. The way she is written in 2020 is much different than she was in 1962, and I enjoy both. I’m glad they didn’t leave her in the past and brought her along. I wouldn’t mind seeing the same thing happen with a Goldfinger or a Red Grant.

Or look at Casino Royale. Let’s pretend that book had been filmed as a movie in 1960 as Connery’s 1st. It’s a very simple book and probably would have been a simple movie, much like Dr. No turned out.

Now look at what a modern telling of that turned into in 2006. The plot was expanded and updated and fans loved it.

If CR ‘06 had been a reboot, wouldn’t you have enjoyed the new telling of it?
