[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1194283, member: 812"] You got that right. I'm waiting for things to get so desperate that they actually *gasp* try something new. Hoping the timing works out so that my wife and I are the hot new directors that season because we would LOVE to do a Bond film. My idea is to do a story from John Pearson's [i]Authorized Biography of 007[/i], where Bond goes to a little casino run by an old friend of his that's being driven out of business by a bunch of cheating hoodlums. Bond has to figure out how they're cheating and stop them without causing a fuss. It's NOT an MI6 mission -- he's on holiday. So when he gets into car chases, it's HIS car, so he's SUPER careful. Invert all the Bond paradigms and make him into a human being instead of a superman. That's what I love about the books -- how human Bond is. The only movies that caught very much of that were [i]On Her Majesty's Secret Service[/i] and [i]For Your Eyes Only[/i]. I'd like to do something like that. A small story, not saving the world, just saving his friend. That'd be cool. [/QUOTE]
