Eon nearly sold the franchise in the nineties. I doubt they'll ever do it now. To Joel Silver or something around 1993. Mel Gibson was lined up to replace Dalton. |

Cubby put Eon up for sale in the nineties but nothing happened because they were asking for far too much money. If anyone bought Eon and the screen rights to James Bond then I'm sure they'd have the legal right to use the staples too. Not that the current Eon bother to use them anyway. |

I severely doubt Babs would sell the franchise.

The producers of a rebel film could be cheeky and insert a gunbarrel type opening. I don't think Eon have the rights to someone turning to the camera and firing a gun! yes they have. this is the reason NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN, didn't have gunbarrel opening |

That picture shows a generously slim Sean & Roger. To be fair they were both in great shape for men in their 50's in the 1980's.
O is a better Bond movie and did slightly better at the box office dispite all the hype about Connery's comeback. Connery was so dissatisfied with the final cut of NSNA he quit movies for over a year. But NSNA has it's moments and Connery's charm still counts for a lot. O has everything people expected from a Bond movie in the 80's & Moore leaps around as if he means business, obviously aware of Seans comeback.

Rog became too old in O and AVTAK.

Thought Rog still looked good in O. The film was portraying Bond as a more mature spy. Maud Adams was a suitable older leading lady. He'd taken time off after FYEO and looked rejuvenated. After 10 years as Bond he strolled around and handled the part with aplomb. But still jumped around a bit & threw a few punches.
His autobiography says he retired after O, only to get a phone call from Cubby Brocoli asking him to star in AVTAK. What a pity as in AVTAK he looked too old.

Roger appearing in AVTAK just shows how popular he was - Cubby was not willing to gamble on someone else. I still love the film although Roger was getting on a bit. Just think, Daniel craig could still be making Bond films in 15 years. There's a thought!  |
