Producers are now
scrambling to wash the bad taste out of fans’ mouths as soon as possible, so
conversations are already taking place about the plot of Bond
25, which will bring back Daniel
Craig for one more adventure and hopefully send the actor’s run as 007
out on a high note.
Though producers
have Christoph Waltz’s Blofeld to
play with if they so desire, there have been no concrete details as of yet
related to the direction Bond 25 will go in. However, thanks to Birth.Movies.Death.
this is now what we have learned: We’ve just begun to doodle with ideas for the
next movie. Each script process begins when we ask ourselves the question:
“What is the world afraid of now?” In the case of Spectre the theme was global
monitoring and utilization of information. So now we are trying to find out
what will be relevant in the coming years… We always want to do something
new with the Bond character and see him in situations we have not seen him in
the past. We must give the audience something new every time…often it helps to
go back to Ian Fleming’s novels for inspiration, whether you’re talking about
grades or mood…
It’s good to see
that the people working on the next Bond movie are forward-facing as they hunt
for a new story, but it should also be noted that Spectre‘s topicality
made it no less confusing. In attempting to address government surveillance in
the digital age, the movie wound up wallowing in a cesspool of nonsensical
plot threads and devices – something about a “Nine Eyes” security program and
lots of hacker-related gobbledygook.
Skewing topical
is all well and good, but the Bond movies have traditionally
been retro in terms of their sensibilities and structures, so here’s
hoping there’s a little more appreciation is shown this time around for 007’s
old-school style. After Spectre, maybe it’s dumb to hold out hope that
there’s still someone involved with the franchise who knows what’s kept Bond
going all these years – but Wilson’s suggestion that Fleming’s novels could
come into play is at least a small step in the right direction for a franchise
that’s been led painfully astray.
