James Bond is a family tradition and a family business. My dad took me to my first 007 movies as a kid and we could always reflect on our favorite moments as we both got older.
007 Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are continuing the legacy of their dad, Albert R. Broccoli. After the first official Skyfall set photo was revealed Wilson talked about the men who’ve played Bond over the years and how team Skyfall is bringing back elements that made the 007 adventures of the 60’s and 70’s such hits.
“Sean was a tough guy; he set the tone,” Wilson said. “[Roger] played it more comic. Roger was lighthearted. Timothy brought it down to earth and Pierce brought a touch of charm and touchiness.”
“[Daniel] is a great actor who takes it back to the Sean days,” Wilson said.
Did you notice no mention of George Lazenby who played Bond once in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service? I think that performance and film never gets the praise it deserves.
In an earlier story, Daniel Craig referenced From Russia, With Love and Live and Let Die as influential Bond films he enjoyed.
Thanks to MI6 for the story.
Thanks for the “Skyfall” info, this is the first I’ve heard of the new Bond flick! Can’t wait for your take on the new Walking Dead episodes–watched a teaser for the second-half-season premiere on AMC’s website (with Rick & Hershel talking in a bar), and am already worried it won’t be v. good. Question: The teaser takes place in a bar–ever notice how Hershel is always shown in civilized, pre-zombie apocalypse surroundings, i.e. his dining room table, using a curry comb on his horses in a modern barn, and now yakking with Rick in a bar? What does this mean????
After the barn massacre – Hershel needs a strong drink! I think since Rick came with him on the zombie recovery mission – Hershel agrees to join Rick to see the world beyond the farm in hopes that he’ll let them stay. Thanks for the comment and support!
