Perhaps it's time for all of us to stage an intervention with the Bond producers. They don't seem to be making very good choices.

I read this story online today, and, of course, it could be totally incorrect. It could be correct, though ... and if it is, then I'm worried.

As far as I can work out, the Bond producers' thought process is

1. Hire a fantastic actor who is, at first, considered an unconventional choice to play Bond. 

2. Make one amazing movie with him and, quite possibly, the best Bond Girl ever to get everybody interested in Bond movies again. 

3. Produce a movie with a plot revolving around "they want the oil, oh, no, never mind, they want the water." 

4. Make a movie with no action scenes and a bunch of "Oscar-worthy" performances.

I have two responses.


1. Whaaattt?


2. Please, please, please hire everyone who made Casino Royale, including director Martin Campbell and Eva Green. She could just play someone who looks almost exactly like Vesper Lynd. That movie I would pay to watch. Anything resembling numbers three or four above is not going to earn my $10.
