Who Would Like To See The Rise Of S.p.e.c.t.r.e. Again??

[celldog]

I would like to see that Spectre had a hand in some of the things that happened in this movie!

What do you guys think?

 

[MKO1234]

I guess so long as they don't headquarter themselves in a hollowed out volcano and such, and Kevin McClory sold the Blofeld/Spectre rights to EON it might not be so bad. Just so they aren't made cheesy or anything.

 

[Warhammer]

I'd rather see SMERSH or just new ideas from the writers.

 

[The Joker]

Not me.

We have several Bond movies with Spectre as the chief villains. They've had their day. Some new villains please.

 

[DorkyFresh]

i dunno what S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is...


...but i know of a few past Bond films i would love to see remade because they're so bad.

 

[The Joker]

i dunno what S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is...

SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPECTRE

They were the chief villains in:

-Dr No
-From Russia with love
-Thunderball
-You only live twice
-On her Majesty's secret service
-Diamonds are forever

They've had enough screen time IMO.

 

[DorkyFresh]

hey...James Bond has already copied Batman Begins by telling Bond's origin, why not copy King Kong by remaking a Bond movie???!!! hehe


just messin'...i have a feeling that wouldn't go over to well w/the majority, but i, personally, wouldn't have a problem if they went that route.

edit: thanx for the info, Doc Ock! i never watched the old films. i kind of have a hard time watching them...hehe

 

[TripXyDE]

oh, i LOVE S.P.E.C.T.R.E.!!!

but because the bond movies which had them were the old ones, the treatment was sort of done in an oldies obscure fashion. it would be interesting to see SPECTRE done in today's standards

i love the whole Machiavellian attitude of the organization & the way they call themselves (Number One, Number Two, hehehehe... i'm a blofeld bloke)

I'm with you on that. Do a S.P.E.C.T.R.E. for the 21st century.

 

[StrainedEyes]

There is no reason why the new organization can't be called SPECTRE. It'll add more continuity to the films by having this organization come back, and it'll obviously be under new management. With a possible Mr. Black as a leader

 

[Catman]

Again with the SPECTER? People don't pay attention. SPECTER/Blofeld was only 3 books.

-Thunderball
-OHMSS
-YOLT

But, in the movie world it got expanded to 6 or 7 films. So, what Casino Royale sets up IS NOT SPECTER. It is SMERSH. It's a completely different organization. So, don't expect SPECTER.

As do I want SPECTER? Sure. But, I believe that SMERSH deserves a chance as well.

 

[Everyman]

SMERSh was a Soviet organisation, I doubt they will use it in the movies, that would be a bit anachronistic. I think they will make a SPECTRE-like organisation sans the name, to avoid any problem with mcClory (I know, he sold the rights, but still, I would be careful with him) and to avoid any confusion/more retcon.

 

[Bishop2]

Actually, there's a very good reason why they can't be called SPECTRE -

[Cinemaman]

I think screenwriters should put there something really new.

That sucks - the kid in me would love for S.P.E.C.T.R.E. to make a comeback as a real threat for Bond.

That said, hopefully the writers can come up with someone/something just as good, if not better.

One things for sure though, I'd prefer Bond to have a nemesis that goes beyond just one movie. My main beef with the Brosnan era is that there were too many 'throwaway' villains.

 

[Bishop2]

The copyright issues forced the creators of the "From Russia With Love" video game to rename SPECTRE into "OCTOPUS." I suppose they could always use that name...

 

[Gold Samurai]

I just have this feeling that if bond gets involved with Spectre it will just lead to a big bad villian in a hollowed out volcano lol

i mean you start out at the bottom of the chain(lechiffre) and follow the lead to something absurd like blofeld

 

[Everyman]

Agreed. Sadly, they could have given Brosnan-Bond recurring nemesis, which would have given a sense of continuity to his movies.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Not necessarily - tone and seriousness of characters are dictated by the writers, director and actor.

Do you really think that now theyve got a serious Bond back on track they'd risk it all by going all over the top with an absurd villain?

It would be very plausable to have an organisation like Spectre (or because of the legal ramifications, someone like Spectre) portrayed realistically, with real menace.

 

[Two-Face]

Same here

 

[Bishop2]

Well he did have his friendly nemesis Valentin t:, and of course the ever obnoxious Jack Wade. Maybe they should've had Jack Wade go evil, but I guess Bond already killed Joe Don Baker once before.

 

[Darknightnomis]

I thought the "organization" Mr. White was working for was S.p.e.c.t.r.e!

 

[superkong 500]

Do you guys think they should bring in a more physical villain for #22, I mean afterall craig is the most physical bond we've ever had followed by connery. Maybe the next villian could have a henchman ala robert shaw in FRWL.

 

[Threshold]

Even if it isn't the real S.P.E.C.T.R.E., it would be cool to see another story arch revolve around an organization like that. I think that's when Bond is at his most badass, when he's running around and they're sending jaws or other friggers after him!

brosnan's bond era tried to make memorable henchmen or woman

xenia

stamper

zao

you could say renard was one since he had some type of unique ability lol

but I see what your mean none of them were iconic like Jaws or Oddjob or Red Grant, Ross Klebb
