Brosnan no longer Bond and film composer Jerry Goldsmith passes away

Talks between EON (the production team that produces the Bond movies) and Pierce Brosnan have gone sour and he will no longer be James Bond. Previous James Bond Roger Moore in talks to replace Judy Dench as Q, and his son Goefrey is on a short list as Brosnan replacements.

Goldsmith took Alex North's incomplete and unused score to Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Oddysey" and recorded it about eleven years ago. In listening to it, while vastly improved, it was pretty obvious that North was out of touch with Kubrick's vision.

I still think Planet of the Apes was amongst Goldsmith's best scores.

The next bond? How about Gerard Butler or Colin Salmon.

 

[amk714]

I'm not surprised. Pierce started out great (Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies) but then came The World Is Not Enough, which was OK, and Die Another Day, which was not. The next Bond better not be another George Lazenby (the guy who played him in only one film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which was great except for his presence). And if you're talking about Dench's role, you must mean M, head of MI6. Q is the guy who builds gadgets for Bond.

Roger Moore taking another role in the Bond films other than reprising his role as Bond??? Would never work lol. As for Jerry Goldsmith, to me his most memorable tracks are "Love Theme From Coma Disco" (which I actualy did a re-edit of a while ago),"Disco Strut" and of corse "The Gremlin Rag"..all 3 tracks ultra obscure now but..thats what I'll always remember him for.

Damn....I had such high hopes for a Tarantino-helmed Bond flick with Brosnan and Uma Thurman.

Roger Moore's son Geoffrey Moore is auditioning to be the next Bond along with other actors. See here

Roger Moore, who played James Bond previously, is in talks with the Producers to take over role that Dame Judi Dench played in the Brosnan pictures for the next Bond films. It would be very werid to see a guy who had played Bond in previous pictures in another role in the Bond films

I really am going to miss Brosnan's Bond for a few reasons

I was too young for the Connery Bond, and I grfew up with the Moore Bond. Although it was cool when I was a kid as it was all I knew, when I watch them now, I end up not liking them. They were too campy. The scrips were really rehases of each other, and the direction was rehashed too. The are a reasons why I think Brosnan's Bond is the best.

1. His Bond didn't rely solely on the gadgets. Oh sure he used them, but he also used his cunning and his witts. When the other Bonds did something cool they just jumped up and did it as if the cool thing was set up so they could jsut step in and do it. With Brosnan, you saw him scanning the room trying to find every available option. And when he did come up with something, you could see him piecing together the plan and really "making it up as he went along."

2. Brosnan took a more serious approach to the character. In his portrayal he did littel things and mannerisms to give you an insight to his character. You can see that, although he had been trained to be a super agent, that he knew all he was was a killer. In some scenes you can see the disdain he has for what he does. He is fully aware of who he is, but he is also fully aware of his place in the world. He knows he is a killer, but that what he does saves millions of lives and so it must be done, no matter how much inner disdain he has for it. You can see that the womanizing is almost a bandaid to comfort himself from the demon he knows he is. He wasn't just a carboard character. He was a real person behind the swagger, and the swagger was just a mask to get the job done.

3. His portrayal is the most realistic in terms of a spy portrayal. Of course real spies aren't like this, but his portayal makes it feasable for the rules in the world of a James Bond movie.

My best james Bond film is Goldeneye. My reason for that is, one it had a realistic Bond portrayed by Brosnan. But this is the first time I felt that the Villian was a match for Bond as it was an ex-agent and friend who had the same training that Bond did. The women weren't just falling for him, and they really gave him a hell of a time, which the directors intended. The villianess was great in that she had a reason for being a villianess. I also like the computer geek, and the CIA agent. Everything in that film was perfect.

Actualy, in the last Brosnan film, as I had said to another Bond fand when that came out..I really enjoyed that one cause he reminded me of Moore's Bond with attitude and just the way he did it.

Harry Knowles at aint-it-cool.com said that he heard that MGM is set to offer the role to Eric Banna (The Hulk and Troy) for the next film. He said that he has heard the Clive Owen and Orlando Bloom rumors as well, but his sources say Banna. Here is the link to his post: http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=18051

Eric Bana?!? Oh come ON! Everyone knows who the perfect guy is to play Bond......

the one!

CARROT TOP!

[MrMacphisto]

Roger Moore as Q... Strange idea... Personally, I thought John Cleese was doing a good job. He was one of the only redeeming things about Die Another Day. As for the next Bond.... How about Hugh Jackman? He might be Australian, but I think he could pull it off...

 

[The Sean Man]

Nothing against 'ol Roger, but I think he's talking out his arse.
