Moonraker, close to the way it was written, since that’s as much terra incognita as Casino Royale was a few years ago. The style shold be spare rather than over dosed with technology or luxury. Bond using his wits, often alone, _not_ getting the girl in the end. Some scenery would be plain looking (a la late in FRWL) but the cliffs would look great.

It needs a new title, of course. All i can come up with are cheesy ones: Spoonbreaker, Loonfaker… maybe the bad guys are exiled from a desert country and something in the plot involves fresh water: Duneslaker.

Forget Devil May Care. I don’t think it would work for a movie that well. Especialy with Craig as Bond. What EON should do is get on those Gardner/Benson books

If they wanted to make a really period piece Craig would be out. If they wanted to adapt Devil May Care they probably update it to our time. Or make a new reboot after Craig quits.

Interesting, I agree their would be backlash against any Connery remake.

John Gardner’s For Special Services would be excellent as a film IMO. So would–dare I say it–Devil May Care. I’d love to see a real period piece dated to the 60’s for Bond.

I think its not wise to totally remake a existing movie. Some fans (not me) would only protest even more against Craig. What they could do is look at last at some of the other bond novels, thos of gardner and benson, to make a movie.

The Union from The Union trilogy of Benson comes close to Quantum. Also in the novel Doubleshot the bond-girls are twins. That would be a nice novel twist (there havent’been twin bond girls, only twin bad guys in Bond movies till now)

The only villian i would redo is Blofeld. I think he should be the head of Quantum. Maybe end Bond 23 with the shot of a white cat…
