WatchingThe Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfarehas made me excited aboutJames Bond 26for its historical potential.
In the realm of espionage,the1960s stand as a golden era.
A time when martini-sipping agents navigated a world of Cold War intrigue and technological marvels.
Guy Ritchies high-octane movie dramatizes one of the SSRF’s most daring missions.
Britain struggled to stop Nazi Germany’s European takeover.
London faced constant bombing, and German submarines sank supply ships.
SOE agents Marjorie Stewart and Richard Heron left by train.
A1960s Bond settingwould pay homage to classics, while also giving more scope to explore Bonds backstory.
The next film will either be unrelated or visit Bonds past.
Classics likeGoldfingerare too beloved to be remade andthe cinematic landscape is oversaturated with remakes.
It would only communicate that Bond has run out of ideas.
Being the crown jewel of British cinema, the last thing Bond should be is underwhelming.
The Daniel Craig 007 era ended with the release of No Time to Die, but what comes next?
Here’s everything that’s been revealed about Bond 26.
Giving Bond morebackstory from his early years in MI6would be an incredible way to bring Bond back.
However,I dont think its the period setting that lets the movie down.
[Bringing back 006] would truly cementJames Bond 26in backstory territory while exploring a compelling dynamic.
It needs to be on that level of writing to do well.
