I'm not a fan of prequels, and I wouldn't be interested in watching "James Bond: The High School Years." On the same note, James Bond (the adult, i.e. Pierce Brosnan) has been done to death. He's no longer interesting to me.

What I'd like to see, however, is Connery play Bond again. Let's see how Bond functions as a 60+ year old senior. Set the movie in modern times. Put Bond in situations where his age becomes a major disadvantage. Give him high tech gadgets that he has trouble understanding. Let him hit on younger girls that have absolutely no interest in him sexually. lol

I'd watch that movie the second it hit the theaters.

Sean Connery was the best, he quit because he was getting typecast and the gadgets were starting to take over the films. The first couple had hardly any gadgets. Connery's bond had that dangerous air to him, he didn't screw around.  He was literally a cold blooded killer.

George Lazenby  was okay (lucky guy got to shag Mrs. Peel). I read a long, long time ago that  Albert Broccoli had met him in a barbershop and was so taken with him he gave Lazenby the watch he was wearing.

Roger Moore I never liked, naybe not because of  him but the movies had devolved into campy , almost comedies.

Timothy Dalton was very good, he had that dangerous air like Connery .

Pierce Brosnan shares that  dangerous bit  too.  Although I think they got to the point of the action negating the need for a good story.




And you thought Trek isn't cool.

Well said AndyC. Keep Bond as an experinced, charistmatic man not as a teen heartthrob hunk (Yerch!).

Now it's time to sing the nation anthem IN AMERICA!!!
