[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] I'd think Jeff would be more concerned with M's ability to spontaneously change gender. I've always sorta assumed that continuity runs within the series of movies with the same Bond actor but not beyond that, i.e. Goldeneye, TND and TWINE are in one universe where Bond was born in the 40s or 50s and M looks rather similar to Judy Dench, while the Moore movies are in another conceptual universe where Bond was born in the 30s and M is most decidedly male. Q's the only constant. In any case, the Bond franchise certainly took an easier route regarding continuity than that [i]other[/i] franchise, y'know the one that gets ripped to shreds for disregarding its continuity even though its gone above-and-beyond in creating a well-fleshed-out universe. Oh, whoops, I was on the soapbox there. And for Bond Twenty... (hmm, I'm wondering if Bond Thirty will just drop the unique title and be called Bond XXX ;) )I've read Michelle Yeoh will be back in a lessened capacity and the plot will involve Hong Kong gangs. *shrugs* I know Brosnan's been lobbying for some time for a trip to Ireland, so who knows. Bond script inevitably feature a minimum of three locations spread across the world. There's also some talk that Ang Lee might direct, but MGM execs are reluctant to give him the final cut. AFAIK "Under the Ice" hasn't been confirmed by anyone officialish. As for the next Bond, the gossip mill is indeed suggesting that Brosnan will throw in the towel after 20, but no firm word on who's gonna be tapped next. (Methinks TPTB will keep word as hushhush as possible so as to avoid the Brosnan/Remington Steele scandal again.) And while the same old rumours are going that we need a black Bond or a female Bond for the new millenium, I wouldn't put too much credence in them. There is apparently some Scottish nobody guy that the Harry Knowleses of the world love to death and think is prefect for the role and IIRC he does have some officialish word behind him as being firmly in the eyes of TPTB. Wish I could remember his name. [/QB][/QUOTE]
