Bring back Connery, there's a new direction.
That's the best suggestion so far:
They actually could do an entire series on a gracefully aging James Bond; back to do sophisticated good stuff for queen and country, in the meantime introducing new Watsons and new Mrs. Riggs as up and coming stars for yet another series.
Unfortunately, Hollywood's imagination runs as far as the next anti-Bush rally and no further.
The much more likely PC Bond will make the same marks as did Star wars 1 & 2 (4 & 5?):
meaning heavy duty money losers.
How's about "Bond's Gate" for the next non-Flemming (ersatz) 007 flick? They could have their selected spokesperson spend four or five hours boring us all by repeating Tom Cruse 'mission unwatchable' computer augmented stunts while being chased by Brittany Spears wanna-bes [but certainly not dwarfs, gigandos, bald headed gays, or fat ladies] and end it all with a studio staged crash into the Pentagon.
Whoopee!
Staged violence with an 'appropriate' purpose....
Don't know if he's in a wheelchair just yet. But they could bring HIM back as Bond, Jim Bond, and have another actor work as his lackey falling off bridges and free falling without a parachute - and stuff.
James Bond not as secret agent, but now Bilderberger mastermind. Maybe Bond should get a lap-cat, too.
