Getting The Bonds Back Together - Roger Moore On Rumored Project

Sir Roger Moore told the Sun that producers are trying to line up a film ala The Expendables, that would start previous James Bonds: Moore (89), Sean Connery (84), George Lazenby (75), Timothy Dalton (71) and Pierce Brosnan (65). Moore says that the hold up on the project is Connery who retired from actin in 2006. Moore said:

I’d be up for it. But Sean balked at the idea as I don’t think he wanted to be associated with Bond any more. But I’d need about ten stunt doubles.

Anybody else notice the On Her Majesty's Secret Service theme at 1:45? Could be a clue.

Also, the opening had a very Live and Let Die vibe. Can't wait.
 
James Bond Author Thinks Idris Elba is Too “Street” to Play 007
http://collider.com/james-bond-author-thinks-idris-elba-is-too-street-to-play-007/

And as for his comments on Elba, Horowitz may be insisting that they’re not racially motivated, but the terminology is not one you’d likely hear about Bruce Willis, Hugh Jackman, or Mark Wahlberg, all of whom play characters similar to those Elba plays. If it’s meant simply as another word for “rough,” well, okay then, but even that seems spurious: One would think an international killer of men and women employed loosely by the government would, at the very least, be a bit rough, even in a tailored suit and with a taste for martinis. Horowitz goes onto say that the character of Bond must be “suave,” which he assumedly doesn’t think Elba is, putting him in direct opposition to every woman I’ve ever met in my life. I’d agree that the character should be suave, and that Elba is about as suave a performer as I’ve seen in the last two decades.

‘Spectre’ Theme Song Title and Release Date Announced

I know I am old, and my opinion is unimportant to the people running the show here, but this ain't my Bond. Every aspect of it just leaves me cold. The semi annual Bond theme song was more than just a disposable download by a soon to be disposable pop star...It's like every other aspect of these flicks in my opinion, aimed at a focus group as opposed to an audience.

That was a View to a Kill right? At that point the franchise had really hit a wall, too much camp, not enough clever. Hell, they wasted Walken as a Bond Villain. And say what you will, DD is a band with a legacy. Not disposable in any way shape or form.

Not disputing any of that, but at the time they got the gig I'm not sure there was much in the way of legacy.
