James Bond Drops Catchphrases

Posted by

Producers of the new JAMES BOND film QUANTUM OF SOLACE are set to anger die-hard 007 fans – they have dropped all of the superspy’s catchphrases.

The legendary character has often thrilled cinema audiences with the immortal line, “The name is Bond, James Bond,” and ordered his martinis “shaken, not stirred”.

But movie bosses have cut the lines out of the new film, fearing they may be too old-fashioned for a modern Bond.

Director Marc Foster says, “There was a ‘Bond, James Bond’ in the script. There are several places where we shot it as well, but it never worked as we hoped. I just felt we should cut it out and Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson (the film’s producers) agreed, too.

“It’s nice to be open-minded about the Bond formula. You can always ago back to them later on.”

    I can see the Bond franchise being ruined. They’ve already removed Q, Moneypenny, Brosnan, gun barrel main intro and theme music with title name in it. Now the catchphrases! A few years ago, what would you say of someone said all of the above will be absent in a 007 film?

    First no Moneypenny and Q…now this? I mean, I’m all for reinventing the series and “Bourn-ing it up,” but come on, at least let the man give us a Bond. James Bond. When Daniel Craig uttered that in Casino Royale it was one of the best parts!!!

    ……….is that Daniel Craig is the best ever Bond and he doesn’t need all that c**p, People need to read Ian Fleming’s books to realise just how close to Fleming’s Bond Daniel Craig really is. He’s like a breath of fresh air in an old tired formula. Keep it real and fresh Daniel!
