It's clear that he doesn't care for the playboy antics, globetrotting, and cartoon-show-for-grown-ups approach. He'd rather have edgy dialogue and explore themes of black and gray morality. Well he gave you Die Another Day. People didn't like that. If Bond continues to be a forever franchise it can't just be the same thing. Look at how Terminator is doing for example. Skye Reynolds posted... A screenwriter doesn't get the last say in tone or content, but it's clear that his writing was more inspired when Bond was allowed to be darker and edgier. I think he'd get more enjoyment out of seeing Bond casually justify leaving a friend in a ditch than he would writing a ski chase through the French alps. Based on what? Skye Reynolds posted... I think there's a sort of mutual understanding between studio and writer. Directors have their marching orders too. It's just the fans who don't always understand that Bond is meant to be The Wire, Heat, or The Bourne Identity. Some still think he should be Goldfinger, GoldenEye, or The Spy Who Loved Me. lol Bond has never been anything like The Wire or Heat. Again it's literally just what is popular with movie audiences. Look at any James Bond movie and it's a reflection of action movies of that decade. No Time To Die doesn't sound like a particularly gritty movie either. I doubt it will be because gritty action movies aren't really popular right now. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:930059738] in The phrase...
