It’s going to be sad to see Craig regenerate to Richard Madden
He can’t.
I’m too young to be older than Bond.
It isn’t allowed.

incorrect.
wont even go into 1954..
Those were not reboots, as both were standalone, independent productions having nothing to do with the EON series. Casino Royale was merely Charles K. Feldman's spoof released at the same time the official series film, You Only Live Twice (1967). Never Say Never Again was the result of the McClory legal issues, and again, it was a standalone film--also released the same year as the then-latest chapter in the ongoing, official series, Octopussy (1983). In other words, the films in question did not reboot anything.
And still wont be an ginger..It’s going to be sad to see Craig regenerate to Richard Madden
Which I believe is why the EON films are the only ones that can use ‘James bond oo7’ as it has the copyright. Which gets us back to the new oo7 Who isn’t the new James Bond oo7.
In regards to NSNA, there was a small possibility at the time that McClory could have (obviously he wanted to) develop a series of films from it, so while it might not be a successful reboot, it was an abortive attempt.
Wonder if he made any money off of the American Express ads and later Jonny English.
His criteria for whether something or not is a reboot is whether or not the writers announced it to be such. The rest of us use common sense.
I am fairly sure GoldenEye was announced in very similar terms, but the term reboot wasn’t exactly common currency back then. There were probably words like ‘refresh’ or ‘a new direction’ and almost certainly ‘a new bond for the current day’ or something along those lines.
The majority of behind the scenes influences changed in many ways at that point too, switching over to what we may think of as the current EON team. Though David Arnold hadn’t shown up yet. GoldenEye and Casino Royale even had the same director I think.
See Also-- his claims about X-Men movie continuity being non contradictory.I feel badly for that hill you're dying on. It is getting the crap pounded out of it!
Again, the source is that the writers said it is, therefore it must be.
He would have killed him twice.Why so much talk about canon? Everyone knows canon only matters in Trek! If this going to start mattering then I got to ask. Would James Bond have killed Tuvix?Jason
Pardon me for derailing the thread and for being thick, but why do you type 007 as oo7? Is it a stylistic thing?
Yeah, sorry, you're totally right about LtK, I somehow managed to forget about the Felix Leiter bit. My bad.
Brosnan didn't actually use any of the DB5 gadgets on-screen, and as for the licence plate, well ...
Yup. When I remember. Because it’s double oh seven when spoken after all. I am not the only one I suspect xD

Lol. It wasn’t any of those either.
To be fair, it is easy enough to follow.
Then again, wouldn't they change the licence plates every now and then, anyway, in order for him to still fly under the radar?!
Raymond Benson's novelization of GoldenEye actually established that Bond bought the DB5 from the MI6 as his private car.
