Bob Garlen Presents... Ian Fleming's James Bond Reboot Pitch and Fancast

NO TIME TO DIE comes out this year, and I'm excited. That being said, this is definitely Daniel Craig's last outing as Bond, an almost ceremonial event. There's bound to be a reboot of the character to come along with the new casting and like everyone else I have my take on the next potential Bond Reboot. I'm exploring everything from the casting to several storylines to set up a potential Bond reboot, the difference being that when this would end, it would leave the door open to continue.

The ideas is for the Films to take place within 6 months, and being that I've got 8 Films that's only about 4 Years in this continuity. Much like the X-Men films theses would take place in a not too distant future (I'd estimate just 5 years ahead of whenever they would be watched.) 

What I present here is an 8 Film Plan that allows a modern refresh of the James Bond Classics, do villains that haven’t been done properly and do the ones that have been done properly in a more modern sense. This is an idea to end on a note that allows a new creative team to come in and continue Bond in its classic serialized format. This is my vision for the future of 007.

My idea for 007 is to take the core elements of the Ian Fleming works and the Older, Pre/Post-Roger Moore Bond Spy Adventure. This vision isn’t geared to be political or to question his place in modern society. To accomplish this, there’s a plan laid out, that allows a through line that continues Bond’s journey through the series of films. The films will feature Fleming original villains, some that haven’t been used and others who’ve only been used in Name only. The goal of re-using some villains is to re-introduce them to the modern age and to a new audience helping Fleming’s Novel’s live on while adapting them to the times. New Titles will be given for each film but based on the villain it would be easy to see which novel the Film originates from.

This is a full-on reboot. Removing from both sets of previous continuity: EON ’62 - ’02 (Original Bond) and EON ’06 - ’19 (the Daniel Craig Era). This is a choice to free this series from any previous restraints and set up for a brand-new era that allows others to continue directly afterwards. The ideal schedule would see each one of the films released every other year, with pre-production of the next film going on during the filming of the current film. The idea would be to capitalize on the Actors and the filmmakers to ensure their longevity but that’s not likely. The idea behind this is to do an 8-film re-start of James Bond. This is a re-invigoration of what made the Bond films appealing as well as taking what elements have worked from the new films and create the quintessential Bond. 

The Main through-line of the story involved Bond going after S.P.E.C.T.R.E. In this version Spectre, as well as Ernst Stavro Blofeld will carry numerous changes from all previous adaptations as well as changes from Fleming’s original concept, modernizing the criminal empire. This version of Ernst Stavro Blofeld won’t even appear in the same capacity as Blofeld on screen until the 8th film in the series, where it would be revealed that this series’ iteration of “M” had been Blofeld in disguise, using MI6 to gain power in the UK’s political scene as well as keep Spectre in the shadows. Blofeld would be one three of the Heads that Started Spectre. The others would include Comte Balthazar De Bleuville and Dr. Guntram Shatterhand (Aliases of Blofeld in the novels, now individual characters. Together they began assembling the greatest criminal masterminds and created Spectre plotting for world domination. This would evolve into a new version of Spectre still very much modeled after the classic version while being more predominantly effective in Organized Crime. This version of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is: Society of Power Execution Counter-intelligence Terrorism Ransom and Extortion.

The criminal syndicate would end at the end of the 8^th film. While they would have a strong presence, they wouldn’t be in every film as the main villain nor would they make an appearance (outside of Blofeld who would be “M” during several of the films)  this would explore other Villains who have no allegiance to Spectre. This would involve Villains who’ve never been adapted, as well as Bond Girls who’ve never previously appeared.  This is my overly ambitious pitch for the next James Bond reboot in the form of 8 Bond films.

James Bond/Agent 007 [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 30’s]: Coded as 007, Bond is a 00 Agent for MI6, with a license to kill he serves her majesty’s secret service. Many political scenes as well as help Spectre stay in the dark. This allows Blofeld a realistic, natural, and unsettling relationship with Bond. Many describe him as handsome while having a cruel mouth and cold eyes. He was the son of Wealth, his father the well payed Scottish Arms Representative Andrew Bond and his Wife Dominque Delacroix Bond. When he was 11 his parents died on a family vacation leaving the young Bond orphaned, He was raised from then on in Canterbury by his aunt Charmain Bond, at age 18 he joined the Royal Navy and flew through the ranks, taking an early retirement from naval service to join MI6, earning 00 status inside a year. 

Matthew Lewis [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 30, Notable Works: Harry Potter {Franchise}, Me Before You, Terminal]: No actor has gone through the shocking change that Matthew Lewis has. Best known as Neville Longbottom, as he grew up in the spotlight Lewis had made a massive physical change. Now taking parts more drama-based, he’s showing a considerable range, and considering that he has evolved a character fully with the Potter Franchise, and considering his age, he would be perfect for a Bond Reboot. Something that strikes me is how much he looks like the literary Bond, the same height and slender build as well as elements that make him seem like a rough player. There’s no doubt he’s got the talent, the look, and the age to carry the franchise for quite a while. I don’t think anyone could be as interesting or as unique a Bond as Lewis can bring to the screen.

Jane Moneypenny/Miss Moneypenny [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: She is secretary to M, who is Bond's boss and head of the British Secret Service. She is infatuated with Bond leading to a very flirtatious relationship. 

            Lucy Boynton [Height: 5’ 5”, Age: 25, Notable Works: Sing Street, Murder on the Orient Express, Bohemian Rhapsody]: A truly wonderful actress. Her work is stellar and after Bohemian Rhapsody there’s no doubt she could bring a level of endearing to Moneypenny that has been absent since Samantha Bond vacated the role in 2002. She stands out in Rhapsody and makes Mary Austin a person that anyone could have fallen in love with and I think she could bring that to Moneypenny and have very flirtatious chemistry with Lewis’ Bond.

Amis MacIntyre/M/Ernst Stavro Blofeld [Height: N/A, Age: 50’s]: Formerly 005 he was an agent for MI6 promoted to “M” after the former head retired. In truth he was born Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the last of the Blofeld Family, a Sicilian lineage, his family migrated to London when Ernst was young. Growing up on the rough streets of London he took quick to joining gangs and sometime after he joined the Royal Marines, faking his death and assumed the identity of fellow Soldier Amis MacIntyre and joined MI6 while starting his own criminal empire in Spectre. He sought to gain a control of life he was without in his childhood and planned to rule the world, or the part of it he felt mattered.

            Idris Elba [Height: 6’ 2”, Age: 47, Notable Works: Luther, Star Trek Beyond, Hobbs and Shaw]: This felt like a very easy call. Elba has been a fan favorite for Bond but considering his age He’s a bit old to take up the role. He’s a wonderful actor and plays a terrific villain. He’s certainly an actor that seems perfect for the world of 007 and giving him a supporting role that allows him a big villainy twist would help his performance stand out as something unique and warranted. He could take Blofeld and put a more Definitive stamp on the character than any of the previous actors have. This could be a defining role for Elba and there’s no doubt he could nail it.

Bill Tanner [Height: 6’ 1”, Age: 30’s]: A man about Bond's age and height, Tanner earned distinguish service during his military career in the second world war. He later avoided the potential of a nervous breakdown based on his experiences in field service and settled down to an administration job. He becomes MI6's Chief of Staff reporting directly to M.

            Nicholas Hoult [Height: 6’ 3”, Age: 30, Notable Works: X-Men {Franchise}, Equals, Tolkien]: Hoult is an actor that has evolved notably on screen through his roles. Best known at this point for Beast, Hoult has shown to be quite the ranged actor and honestly has some wit in him that desperately needs to come out. There’s no doubt he could take a role like Tanner and add some wit and charm to the role, making the character, as he was in the novels, a peer and friend to Bond.

Major Ian Boothroyd/Q [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: Armorer of MI6 and very protective of his work. He’s a genius engineer with an odd sense of humor. He often bickers with Bond over the status of his gadgets, almost always disappointed at the condition they’re returned in.

            David Tennant [Height: 6’ 1”, Age: 48, Notable Works: Doctor Who, Jessica Jones, Good Omens]: A wonderful actor who’s given some great performances on television giving legendary takes on characters like Doctor Who and Killgrave. With his characters he’s developed a bit of a trademark wit and has shown to be very adept with Comedic Timing. He’s got the all the right elements to play the legendary Q and would be a worthy successor to the group of actors that have played the role with exceptional style before.

Mary Goodnight/006/M [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: A double 00 Agent who assisted in training and refining Bond for service in MI6. She’s one of few who has ever gotten close to him to be a confidant, while never showing her true emotions. She’s carried a causal relationship with Bond at times, considering it more of a sport. After MacIntyre is outed as Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Goodnight is promoted to Head of MI6, adopting the moniker of “M” herself. 

            Leana Heady [Height: 5’ 5”, Age: 46, Notable Works: 300, Game of Thrones, Dredd]: One of my favorite actresses and one of the most dynamic performers on Game of Thrones. Leana has played numerous strong-willed characters and has played them with a sense of wit and wonder to them. For what is laid out with a character like Goodnight, there’s really few actresses that could stick the character and make the changes over films work and feel natural, Leana being at the top of that list.

Renee’ Mathis [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: An old friend and personal mentor to Bond. They met during war, after which Mathis was recruited to Deuxième Bureau as a French spy. Mathis has climbed the ranks to the head of Deuxième Bureau and assist Bond in any way he can. 

            Gaspard Ulliel [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 35, Notable Works: Hannibal Rising, Saint Laurent, It’s Only the End of the World]: Best known as the young Hannibal Lecter, Gaspard is a fantastic actor and has given some wonderful performances in European and French Cinema. He’s taken time and honed his craft and it shows in his more recent work. Adding him in a role like Mathis is a great way to bring him back to American cinema and Mathis would be a decent role to really let him shine without feeling too much pressure.

Felix Leiter [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 30’s]: CIA Agent, originally from Texas, went from the army to the CIA. He has worked several times as a liaison between agencies with Bond. He’s a lover of jazz and was an excellent reporter.

            Sebastian Stan [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 37, Notable Works: Captain America/MCU {Franchise}, Lucky Logan, Destroyer]: There’s no doubt Stan is an individual who should be a leading man. He’s a strong actor and has done some fantastic films and at this point will be forever known to fans as ‘The Winter Soldier.’ He’s got all the right qualities to play Felix in a more memorable fashion that the character has received before. Stan has played charming, intelligent, and tactical and could bring some new life as Leiter. With Jeffrey Wright feeling wasted in the role beyond Casino Royale, it’s time to bring Felix back and make him a recurring and more prominent supporting character, as his friendship with Bond is legendary.

M (Miles Messervey) is retiring as an Attack has been made on the Queen by international Terrorist Irma Bunt. For his final mission in command M sends Agent 007 to hunt down Irma Bunt and her Angels of Death (Tatiana Romanov & Maria Freudstein) before they can execute another deadly attack. Bond is ordered to kill Bunt on site, as MI6 has given Bond the “Order of a Vengeance.”

Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.

            Lorne Balfe [Notable Works: 13 Hours, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Gemini Man]: His music is energetic, exciting, and does just as much work progressing the story as the script. His music has a very notable pulse that would make Balfe an exciting addition to the variety of composers that have given legendary Bond Movie Scores.

Bond Song: Theme music is a piece that is often written specifically for a radio program, television program, video game, or movie and is usually played during the intro, opening credits, and/or ending credits.

            Nostghalia [Notable Works (Singles): Who You Talkin’ To Man? (John Wick), Plastic Heart (John Wick Chapter 2), Coronation]: All the best Bond songs have poppy elements as well as a catchy tune. Nostaghalia is a singer that has really captured the Bond Song feeling with her original singles used in the first two John Wick entries. Her music would be absolutely beautiful to put to a Bond Film and there’s no doubt hers would stand out as one of the best.

Screenwriter: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.

            Christopher McQuarrie [Notable Works: The Way of the Gun, Jack Reacher, Mission: Impossible {Franchise}]: His dialogue and his stories are fantastic. His work on The Usual Suspects earned him his first Academy Award and it’s not understatement to say his scripts have only gotten better and more exciting. There’s no doubt the action and the humor he’s put into his scripts would be perfectly married into the world of James Bond.

Director: A film director is a person who directs the making of a film. Generally, a film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. The director has a key role in choosing the cast members, production design, and the creative aspects of filmmaking.

            Christopher McQuarrie [Notable Works: The Way of the Gun, Jack Reacher, Mission: Impossible {Franchise}]: With his second entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise not only being the best one yet, but also constantly upstaging the action and look of the film, there’s really no one better for rebooting Bond. While this breaks the tradition of using only British Filmmakers he wouldn’t be the first American director to helm an entry in the franchise and considering his body of work he’s already a perfect choice.

Miles Messervy/M [Height: N/A, Age: 70’s]: The Head of Secret Intelligence Service—also known as MI6. An older man with a cold, calculated, and angry voice. Admiral Sir Miles Messervy KCMG; Messervy had been appointed to head of MI6 after his predecessor had been assassinated at his desk. Planning a retirement after Bond performs a final mission for him.

            Patrick Stewart [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 79, Notable Works: Star Trek {Franchise}, X-Men {Franchise}, Blunt Talk]: A legendary Actor, Patrick has contributed to countless franchises and has become a cultural Icon. It seems criminal that he hasn’t appeared in a Bond film, as he certainly has the all the right characteristics as an actor to have appeared in one. While he would be perfect for a long term “M” this version is retiring at the end of the first Movie but the idea behind Casting Stewart is to Hint that there have been theses adventures and that the original “M” is finally retiring in a proper form. Patrick is a legend and would knock this role out of the park.

Tatiana Romanova [Height: 5’ 7”, Age: 25]: One of Irma Bunt’s angels of Death. Born in Russia she grew up in a military household and became a member of SMERSH before going rogue and joining Irma Bunt’s terror group. Though she falls for Bond and becomes a spy in the organization that allows Bond footing to stop the terrorist plot.

            Liza Arzamasova [Height: 5’ 8”, Age: 24, Notable Works: Snow Queen, Naparnik, Mistresses]: A wonderful Russian actress with very little exposure to western audiences. She’s done a number of films in Russian Cinema as well as voice over work in 2012’s Snow Queen. She hasn’t done any English language work but that hasn’t stopped the Bond Franchise before, and with an actress as versatile as Liza, it would certainly be worth the trouble to introduce her to a western audience.

Maria Freudenstein [Height: N/A, Age: 31]: A more brutish member of Irma Bunt’s Angels of Death. She was a French Born citizen who was raised in Russia, targeted from an early age to be a member of Irma’s growing militia. 

            Lily James [Height: 5’ 7”, Age: 30, Notable Works: Cinderella, Baby Driver, Yesterday]: She’s really stood out in some fantastic roles such as Cinderella and Darkest Hour. She’s a strong actress that would be able to really excel at the role and create something unique out of the un-adapted Bond girl.

Irma Bunt [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: German born terrorist, Irma Bunt was once a beautiful woman who was horrifically disfigured in an incident that now forces her to wear prosthetic make-up. Outside of the gorgeous disguise of her make-up she wears a mask to hide parts of her prosthetic skull. She is ruthless and quick to lash out at others.

            Aylet Zurer [Height: 5’ 7”, Age: 50, Notable Works: Munich, Man of Steel, Daredevil]: If anything her work in Daredevil has not only shown why she works so well for a role like Irma Bunt, but also presents her as being able to change from moments of vulnerability to complete and utter cruelty. Bunt hasn’t been a main player in her lone former adaptation and the character is frankly too good to waste from her appearance in ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.’ This allows Zurer to take a character that could have been a main villain and really do something iconic with her and there’s no doubt she would do wonderful.

A New “M” Has been appointed (Amis MacIntyre), sending Bond to Casino Royale in Paris. After arriving 007 has extracted criminal accountant Le Chiffre, turning him over to MI6. Information relayed from Le Chiffre leads Bond and CIA Agent Felix Leiter to a member of the Star-Spangled Mob and its Connection to New Orleans Crime Lord Mr. Big. The Two secret agents team up and investigate to see where the Criminal Empires Converge.

Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.

            Patrick Doyle [Notable Works: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Cinderella, Murder on the Orient Express]: His work is stunning and emotional. He has done fast-paced action, tension-filled drama, and inquisitive moments. He’s one of many composers who’s work would be able to add some new and pulse-pounding elements to a James Bond movie score and stands as one of the best composers in the industry.

Bond Song: Theme music is a piece that is often written specifically for a radio program, television program, video game, or movie and is usually played during the intro, opening credits, and/or ending credits.

            Kaleida [Notable Works (Singles): Think (Used in John Wick), Tropea, Aliaa]: Their work on ‘Think’ was amazing and stood out as something that could have been a quintessential Bond song. Their efforts only continue to be amazing and with their established talent it’s really only a matter of time before they do get to do a Bond theme and it would certainly be welcomed.

Screenwriter: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.

            Michael Green [Notable Works: Logan, Blade Runner 2049, Murder on the Orient Express]: Green has been responsible for some of my favorite films in the last 5 years. Logan and Blade Runner both standing out as pinnacles of filmmaking. He’s got a talent for story and situation that make him absolutely perfect to tackle a Bond film with heart and intensity.

Director: A film director is a person who directs the making of a film. Generally, a film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. The director has a key role in choosing the cast members, production design, and the creative aspects of filmmaking.

            Kenneth Branagh [Notable Works: Sleuth, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Murder on the Orient Express]: Branagh is one of those directors I always felt should do a Bond movie. He’s fantastic with a Shakespearian background and an action background making him a legendary director. Murder on the Orient Express stood out as a unique and wonderful adaptation and only proved that Branagh is a perfect director to tackle 007.

Simone Latrelle/Solitaire [Height: N/A, Age: 25]: In the presence of Mr. Big, she comes across as superior, cold, and disdainful, an attitude reflected by her face, which Bond finds beautiful partly because of its lack of compromise and its hint of both cruelty and command. Once Solitaire has escaped from Mr. Big, however, she immediately becomes warm, open, and passionate towards Bond.


            Zoë Kravitz [Height: 5’ 2”, Age: 31, Notable Works: X-Men First Class, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald, The Batman {Forthcoming}]: An actress that has stood out and made something of herself. She’s appeared in standard big movies and is expected to do well as Catwoman but I wanted to see her in a role that asked a little bit more vulnerability than her previous work and I think a character like Solitaire is tailor made for that. She’s a stronger actress than she’s been able to show and I think, if nothing else, this would be the first step forward to really showing a character with real and deep vulnerability that overcomes it to stand as a new person.

Le Chiffre [Height: 5’ 8”, Age: 45]: Paymaster of Spectre, after losing a significant amount of money attempts to win it back at a Baccarat Tournament in Casino Royale. There he is defeated by Bond. Le Chiffre attempts to torture Bond into giving him the money but is apprehended by Leiter and with Bond’s help takes Le Chiffre into Custody. After this Le Chiffre rats on elements of the hidden heads of Spectre.

            Christopher Lambert [Height: 5’ 11”, Age: 62, Notable Works: Highlander, Mortal Kombat, The Blacklist]: He’s been one of my favorite actors since childhood. He’s done fantastic work and has become a living legend perfect to play a rough and morally bankrupt character like Le Chiffre. Adding him in the role would be a wonderful addition and add a fun interpretation to the few other versions of the character.

Mr. Big [Height: 6’ 6”, Age: 40’s]: Mr. Big is one of the most powerful criminal figures in the world. Mr. Big's name is actually an acronym for Buonapart Ignace Gallia, his real name. Big's past is shrouded in mystery, although it is known that he was born in Haiti and is half French. He served in the American military and was an exceptional soldier working alongside special services. Publicly, Big owns a nightclub in Harlem named "The Boneyard" and a company based in St. Petersburg, Florida named Ouroborous Inc. which deals in tropical fish and rare shells. In reality the company is a front for laundering 17th century gold coins.

            Mahershala Ali [Height: 6’ 2”, Age: 43, Notable Works: Moonlight, Alita: Battle Angel, True Detective]: Not only is he a two-time Oscar winning actor but he’s without equal as an actor. He’s given some of the most heart-wrenching and tense performances and is someone that should be strongly desired as a Bond villain. A character like Mr. Big allows him to play a delicate Balance of scene-chewing menace and dramatic moral bankruptcy that would show even more new shades of Mahershala Ali’s work. 

Jack Strap [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: A cigar smoking gangster in the Star-Spangled Mob, Jack Strap worked as a front man for the Las Vegas casinos they owned. Unknown to his bosses in the Star-Spangled Mob, he’s using Mr. Big and his connections at Spectre to try and take over as the new Head of the Star-Spangled Mob.

            B.J. Novak [Height: 5’ 9”, Age: 40, Notable Works: Inglourious Basterds, Saving Mr. Banks, The Founder]:  He’s a massively underrated actor who’s been able to actually pull of interesting and dramatic performances. He was a great addition to Inglourious Basterds and stood out in The Founder. He’s great when playing morally despicable characters and Jack Strap would be a perfect character to add to his repertoire.

007’s investigation into the Star-Spangled Mob leads him to the door of old acquaintance Milton Krest and the Star-Spangled Mob Heads: The Spang Brothers, working with Enrico Kristatos smuggling drugs to fund a shadow organization. Bond is forced to infiltrate the organization and shut it down before they can deliver a massive shipment to Kristatos’ Greek Operations.

Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.

            Daniel Pemberton [Notable Works: The Counselor, Steve Jobs, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.]: The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is a cinematic stand out when it comes to Spy movie and the score for it just as much. Pemberton has scored some fantastic and thematically fresh films. His work makes him ideal for Bond and if anything Man From U.N.C.L.E. proves he can handle the world-class spy with ease.  

Bond Song: Theme music is a piece that is often written specifically for a radio program, television program, video game, or movie and is usually played during the intro, opening credits, and/or ending credits.

            P!nk [Notable Works (Singles): Trouble, Walk of Shame, What About Us?]: She’s a lovely artist that has a pulse on the Pop-Culture sensibility and could actually do something solid and unique with a Bond song without diving into the territory of the less-loved Bond themes like “Die Another Day” or “Another Way to Die.” P!nk is a singer who’s every bit as talented as they say and would give an appropriate and dynamic Bond song.

Screenwriter: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.

            Taylor Sheridan [Notable Works: Sicario, Hell or Highwater, Wind River]: His work is dark, explorative, and violent in ways that fit the classic Fleming approach to Bond. His work stands out in a manner that makes you sit and take notice and adding that kind of edge to a Bond film is absolutely needed and wanted. His work on Sicario stands as the perfect style of film to put Bond and there’s no doubt what Sheridan could bring to the table would be absolutely fantastic.

Director: A film director is a person who directs the making of a film. Generally, a film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. The director has a key role in choosing the cast members, production design, and the creative aspects of filmmaking.

            Guy Ritchie [Notable Works: Snatch, Sherlock Holmes, The Man From U.N.C.L.E.]: I love his work. Snatch is a classic and the Gentlemen looks like a return to form for Ritchie. His adaptation of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was a movie I never knew I wanted and I fell in love with it. There’s no doubt that given the right script he could make one of, if not thee, most epic Bond films of all time.

Lisl Baum [Height: N/A, Age: 30’s]: Lisl Baum is the mistress of smuggler Enrico Kristatos, Lisl is sent to extract information from James Bond.

            Lily Collins [Height: 5’ 5”, Age: 30, Notable Works: To The Bone, Okja, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile]: She was absolutely enchanting in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. She’s a powerful actress and is the kind of performer you want to see in a Bond film. Her work is strong, and she gives such depth to her characters that giving her something like Lisl Baum is a chance to really expose her talent to a much wider audience.

Elizabeth Krest [Height: N/A, Age: 30’s]: Originally from England, Elizabeth was a model turned hotel receptionist until she met and married rich entrepreneur Milton Krest. She met James Bond while he was on assignment in the Seychelles following her husband, in the search for the rare fish, "The Hildebrand Rarity". Elizabeth is subject to much verbal and physical abuse by Milton, who punishes her with the use of a stingray tail he dubs "The Corrector".

            Alice Eve [Height: 5’ 5”, Age: 37, Notable Works: Star Trek Into Darkness, Before We Go, Replicas]: I can’t think of many actresses I adore the way I adore Alice Eve’s work. She’s split her career into so many different roles that it’s hard not to cast her in any role. She’s a great actress and really stands as someone who could do something unique in a role like Krest and would stand out playing a vulnerable and vengeful Bond Girl.

Milton Krest [Height: N/A, Age: 50’s]: An American Entrepreneur and Owner of a Hotel Chain who works closely with the Star-Spangled Mob as well as Drug Lord Enrico Kristatos. Using his freighter “The Wavecrest” he works as a middleman between the Star-Spangled Mob’s Trafficking of Conflict Diamonds and Kristatos’ Drug Operations. 

            Michael Shannon [Height: 6’ 3”, Age: 45, Notable Works: Boardwalk Empire, Man of Steel, Knives Out]: Few actors have brought such a level of interest and intensity as Michael Shannon has. Every performance he gives is a knock-out and he’s balanced his work between drama, comedy, and action making him a perfect addition to the series of Bond Villains.

Serrafimo Spang & Jack Spang [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: Twin brothers Jack and Seraffimo Spang are controllers of the “Spangled Mob”; a crime syndicate which operates widely in the United States. Together the brothers establish a diamond smuggling 'pipeline' reaching from Africa to North America. Together they run a crime organization called the Spangled Mob.

            Walton Goggins [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 48, Notable Works: Justified, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight]: Goggins is an actor that has consistently been underutilized. He’s fantastic and hasn’t been given a role to shine. He was wasted in Ant-Man and the Wasp and didn’t get enough screen time in either of his Tarantino roles. He’s a great actor and perfect for characters like the Spang brothers. He’d be a unique actor to bring to the series and would get the honor of playing the only Bond Villains who were identical twins.

Enrico Kristatos [Height: N/A, Age: 40’s]: head of an Italian Drug operations smuggling drugs into England as well as the United States where he’s formed a partnership with the Star-Spangled Mob.

            Riccardo Scamarcio [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 40, Notable Works: John Wick: Chapter 2, Loro, The Ruthless]: I loved his work in John Wick Chapter 2. He played exactly what this character should be. His characters have that persona that fit the Bond series and would stand out as one of the best additions to the franchise.

            Hans Zimmer [Notable Works: Gladiator, Inception, Dunkirk]: He’s a legendary composer and at this point it’s only expected for him to do a Bond Film. His work is thrilling, hard-hitting, catchy, and memorable. With thrilling scores in Inception and Dunkirk and an legendary Batman score in the Dark Knight trilogy is beyond comparison. Considering how great his Dark Knight score is, it’s possible that a Bond score could be Zimmer’s best work.

            Ellie Goulding [Notable Works (Singles): Wish I Stayed, Beating Heart, Lost and Found]: A wonderful singer whose work has caught the pulse of pop music and has really developed a following around her.

            Anthony McCarten [Notable Works: Darkest Hour, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Two Popes]: His work has landed actors Oscars. Darkest Hour gave Gary Oldman material worthy of his talent, He worked behind the film that launched Rami Malek to an Oscar win. His work is character defining and there’s no doubt he could pen a James Bond Epic that would stand out as great as, if not better than, Skyfall.

            Denis Villeneuve [Notable Works: Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049]: His work is deep, explorative, and emotional. His action is on point as well as heavy, dark, and hits hard. He’s a modern legend and there’s no doubt he would give us the Bond Film fans have been craving since Skyfall.

Gala Brand [Height: 5’ 7”, Age: 30’s]: A reporter following closely on Sir Hugo Drax’s personal life, after having received a series of tips from one of Drax’s employees. After a series of MI6 missions are publicly compromised, leading to the death of numerous agents, she seeks out word from MI6, with Bond responding by using his and Brand’s resources to investigated Sir Hugo Drax.

            Alicia Vikander [Height: 5’ 6”, Age: 31, Notable Works: Ex Machina, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Tomb Raider]: One of the most unique and interesting actresses working today. Her work has balanced action, strength, and vulnerability that has allowed her to give all her characters a soul. She’s a great actress and would be able to take a character that’s only appeared in the novels and do something iconic with it.

Vivienne Michel [Height: N/A, Age: 23]: A Canadian Spy who infiltrates Moonraker industries and becomes a high-functioning member of the organization plotting to steal the code key to the Moonraker software and take control of the company and execute Drax, effectively taking his empire for herself.

            Emily VanCamp [Height: 5’ 8”, Age: 33, Notable Works: Revenge, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Resident]: Emily is a great actress who hasn’t been given much to do. She’s made minor appearances in the MCU but is certainly deserving of a role that has some depth to it. Giving her a role like Vivienne allows her to take hold of an action and drama heavy role and develop it into something unique, becoming a Bond Girl on par with Bond himself. There’s no doubt Emily could handle it and make it look effortless in the process.

Sir Hugo Drax [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: N/A]: An English War Hero who came home and founded Moonraker Industries, a company that grew to be one of the largest tech-giants providing both Weapons Manufacturing as well as Commerical Electronics.

He’s done iconic performances on both sides of the law and he’s the kind of actor you need when re-introducing a classic Bond villain, especially when you want the character taken seriously.

He attempts to sell it on the Black Market to attempt to draw prying eyes away from his real plan “Operation Grand Slam” which would allow him to effectively control the World Economy with the robbing of the Federal Reserve.

            James Newton Howard [Notable Works: Michael Clayton, Salt, A Hidden Life]: James Newton Howard is a legendary composer that has shown to be capable of just about anything in his scores. He’s scored tearful dramas, hard hitting action, slow and methodical films all of which stand out as wonderful pieces of art. He’s got the talent and ability to do something entirely unique and warranted with Bond and it would be fun to see.

Bond Song: Theme music is a piece that is often written specifically for a radio program, television program, video game, or movie and is usually played during the intro, opening credits, and/or ending credits.

            Lady Gaga [Notable Works (Singles): Born This Way, Perfect Illusions, Shallow (A Star is Born)]: Not only has she won an Academy Award for Best song but she’s become something of a cultural Icon with exciting music and that stands out in some of the best ways. Her work is exactly what’s sought after for a Bond theme and as she’s without a equal in Music it’s just a natural fit for her to do a Bond theme.

These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.

            Peter Straughan [Notable Works: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Snowman, The Goldfinch]: After writing one of the modern quintessential Spy Dramas it’s really no question as to why Peter Straughan is perfect for a Bond script. He’s a wonderful writer and his work gets the tension and the bleakness of a Spy that would add new dimension to the Bond series and Bond’s own look at being a spy.

Director: A film director is a person who directs the making of a film. Generally, a film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. The director has a key role in choosing the cast members, production design, and the creative aspects of filmmaking.

            Paul Greengrass [Notable Works: Jason Bourne {Franchise}, United 93, Captain Phillips]:  There’s no doubt that his work on the Bourne series helped re-invigorate the Spy-Thriller Genre and even helped lead to the Casino Royale reboot of the Bond Franchise. He’s a director that has proven when he has a great script in hand, he can rewrite a genre and adding him as a director for a Bond movie would result in one of the best Spy films of all time.

Katherine “Pussy” Galore [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: Born into poverty in the southern United States, Pussy Galore fell into juvenile delinquency. Attempting to go straight, she joined the circus and became an acrobat. Soon striking out on her own, she recruited other female acrobats and formed a group called "Pussy Galore's Trapeze Flyers", which often performed at carnivals and travelling shows. However, when the business failed, she returned to crime by utilizing their skills for cat burglary. She found success, and her group soon grew into a gang called the "Cement Mixers", operating out of Harlem, New York City. With the American mafia overwhelmingly populated by men, Galore was the only female gang leader in the U.S. to be acknowledged by major gangs; with the Spangled Mob recognizing the skill of Galore's group.

            Zazie Beetz [Height: 5’ 6”, Age: 28, Notable Works: Atlanta, Deadpool 2, Joker]: Pussy Galore is a character that has strong ties to Harlem, it felt natural and right to cast Zazie in the role as not only can she handle action but she’s able to handle deep and dark material that has very little light or levity. She’s a great actress and has made stand out appearances in her recent work. She’s no doubt the perfect actress to take the role and revitalize it for a modern audience.

Rosa Klebb [Height: 5’ 4”, Age: 50’s]: Irma Bunt’s former lover. After Bunt’s death she took control of the Angels of Death and began reforming them into a new criminal empire geared towards Political assassinations but finds an opportunity to go after James Bond too appealing.

            Helena Bonham Carter [Height: 5’ 2”, Age: 52, Notable Works: Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, Fight Club, Alice in Wonderland]: Helena is a wonderful actress who, as of late, hasn’t been getting the attention-grabbing roles she deserves. She stands as one of the best actresses in the industry and hasn’t gotten a role that has had proper depth or motivation to it in a long time and I think with a role like Klebb it can easily change that. Helena’s work has always stood out as excellent and lept off the screen with veracity and heart and I’d like to see that brought to Klebb.

Donovan Grant/Agent Red [Height: N/A, Age: 27]: A Russian assassin, former SMERSH officer – recruited by Klebb who appealed to his inherent Greed. He’s one of the most formidable assassins and seeks the reputation that would come with killing a 00 officer.

            Tom Hopper [Height: 6’ 5”, Age: 34, Notable Works: Black Sails, Kill Ratio, The Umbrella Academy]: An actor whose work I’ve been recently exposed to Tom Hopper is best known for Umbrella Academy and is already showing a great degree of talent. He stands at a menacing 6’ 5” and has the build and look of a person Bond wouldn’t want to fight. He’s a talented actor and fitting for a character like Red Grant.

Oddjob [Height: 6’ 6”, Age: 40’s]: An Assassin with a cleft pallet and a Bowler hat housing a razor-blade in the rim. He grew up in a Korean traveling circus and became a strong man as well as a skilled knife-thrower and fighter. When he became of age, he turned to organized crime and became a notable hitman, primarily hired by Auric Goldfinger.

            Lee Byung-Hun [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 49, Notable Works: G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra, I Saw The Devil, Mr. Sunshine]: An amazing actor who I am desperate to see more of. He’s given some great performances in I saw the Devil and Mr. Sunshine and he was an absolute delight in his G.I. Joe appearances. He’s a fantastic actor and if anyone is capable of doing anything remotely interesting of Oddjob it’s Lee.

Auric Goldfinger [Height: 5’ 0”, Age: 40]: The Richest Man in England, born in Latvia he grew from rags to riches. In his youth he held a fascination for Gold that he never outgrew, seeing the element as the ultimate symbol of elegance and wealth. He operates as a Mafia Treasurer and starts his own Gang using remnants of the now defunct Star-Spangled Mob, arming his newly found organization towards Politically controlling the world as well as controlling it from the shadows.

            Daniel Brühl [Height: 5’ 9”, Age: 41, Notable Works: Inglourious Basterds, Captain America: Civil War, The Alienist]: With an excellent turn as Zemo Daniel has shown some remarkable work as an actor. He was one of the stand outs in Civil War and his series the Alienist has really shown what he’s capable of. There’s no doubt he has the presence and the performance to become a Goldfinger every bit as iconic as Gert Frobe’s.

  

Billionaire Industrialist Emilio Largo, Head of Thunderball Industries, a weapons manufacturer, has Commissioned the launch of a Satellite to expand his tech empire in the commercial Market. Working alongside him is Dr. Julius No a philanthropist using his connections to Drax and the Triad as a front to sell un-sanctioned Military Grade Weapons, assists Largo as the two have developed the Kingdom Satellite, a satellite that in the hands of Largo and Dr. No could send coded waves that could force a rupture of nuclear armaments around the world, causing a phenomenon known as a “Thunderball” killing billions. MI6 sends James Bond to investigate the deal, leading to Bond being tasked with stopping the launch to keep Largo and Dr. No from using it to dominate the world.

            Geoff Borrow & Ben Salisbury [Notable Works: Ex Machina, Annihilation, Luce]: Their work on Ex Machina and Annihilation are haunting and evoke a dread and wonder to them. They’ve created some of the most unique scores. Their work is no doubt top level and would make something of a unique and exciting statement to the Bond legacy.

Bond Song: Theme music is a piece that is often written specifically for a radio program, television program, video game, or movie and is usually played during the intro, opening credits, and/or ending credits.

            La Roux [Notable Works (Singles): Quicksand, In For The Kill, Kiss and Not Tell]: Her work is legendary. She’s helped evolve music in some interesting ways and has inspired some great remixes of her already stunning work. She’s got a wonderful discography, and would no doubt stand as one of the more inspired and interesting themes of the franchise in the best way.

Screenwriter: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.

            Alex Garland [Notable Works: Dredd, Ex Machina, Annihilation]: Not only are his scripts well written but they’re intriguing and psychologically deep. He’s got an edge to his work that would strongly benefit the Bond franchise and if Dredd is any indication the Action would be nothing but the most exciting Bond film yet.

Director: A film director is a person who directs the making of a film. Generally, a film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. The director has a key role in choosing the cast members, production design, and the creative aspects of filmmaking.

            Alex Garland [Notable Works: Dredd {Uncredited}, Ex Machina, Annihilation]: If it’s to be believed that he was the main force behind the camera in Dredd and considering his work in his recent sci-fi films there’s no doubt he would be able to do something exciting and fresh with Bond without jumping the shark. He’s a great director and would be someone you’d be desperate to see work on a Bond Film.

Domino Vitali [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: An Assassin who family died at the hands of Largo’s criminal organization, leaving her orphaned. She was raised by Largo in a seriously traumatic upbringing. This left her a cold desolate person and often used by Largo as a mistress and an assassin. Having resigned herself to a cold life, things change when she meets Bond and decides to take a stand against the monster who butchered her family.

            Elodie Yung [Height: 5’ 4”, Age: 38, Notable Works: G.I. Joe Retaliation, Gods of Egypt, Daredevil]: Elodie is an actress I absolutely adore. She was fun as Jinx and stood out as Elektra. She’s got the look and the presence needed to take a character like Domino and make her not only an appealing force but a ruthless one to combat Bond on. She’s no doubt an actress who should have already appeared in a Bond film and there’s no doubt she could make her time as Domino memorable and exciting.

Emilio Largo [Height: 6’ 1”, Age: 50’s]: Largo is the successor to Ernst Stavro Blofeld and the supreme commander of "Plan Omega". Largo is a large, handsome, athletic man, but his good looks are hard and smarmy. Attractive to women, Largo has satyr-like lips, oiled hair, and a hooked, Roman nose. He is a ruthless, successful criminal who womanizes and lives the high life among wealthy companions. This makes Largo's cover as a seeker of sunken treasure perfect.

            Giancarlo Esposito [Height: 5’ 8”, Age: 61, Notable Works: Breaking Bad {Franchise}, Godfather of Harlem, The Mandalorian]: Few actors command the presence, intensity, and radiate dread with their characters. He stands as one of the most enjoyable actors to watch and there’s no doubt his work with villains have made him stand out as an amazing force to be reckon with. Giving him a role like Largo only lets him show that on a much wider base than he has before.

Dr. Julius No [Height: 6’ 6”, Age: 50’s]: The Son of a German Soldier and a Chinese Whore, Dr. No grew up in the Brothels in China, turning very quickly to a life of crime at a young age. During his youth he grew in alliance and ranks with the Tongs and the Triad, becoming a one of the most feared gangsters. During this time they sent him to the United States to assist in establishing a connection for the criminal empire to run in the U.S. there he entered numerous scholarly programs, paying for his education with Tongs and Triad Money, becoming a Medical Doctor at John Hopkins. For his seizing of the Tong’s money, they removed his hands, denying him an ability to practice Medicine and therefore trapped under the Triad. He was approached sometime later by an associate of the Triad who recognized No’s Potential and eliminated his enemies allowing him to fully take over. After this No dedicated himself to the criminal enterprise: Spectre. 

            Mark Dacasacos [Height: 5’ 9”, Age: 55, Notable Works: Crying Freeman, Brotherhood of the Wolf, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum]: Few actors are as fun or as exciting to watch. His work in John Wick gave him an opportunity to showcase both a wonderful physicality and intriguing and mania driven character. There’s no doubt that placing him in the role of Dr. No would give a much more interesting and multi-layered take on the character, allowing No to pop off the screen and become the villain he deserves to be.

Bond, attempting to apprehend Comte Balthazar De Bleuville gets entangled with Canadian Interpol as a rogue Spy is out to kill Bleuville. This leads Bond into a dangerous investigation in the Swiss Alps, surrounded by Spectre’s most Dangerous Operative as well as a chance encounter with a woman stealing Bond’s heart. All the while Comte’s collection of Royal Family Members takes a sinister turn as it’s discovered they’ve been brainwashed into sleeper agents to Assassinate members of the various royal families all over the world allowing them to take over and appoint Political Power to Comte and Spectre.

            Harry Escott [Notable Works: Shifty, Shame, Welcome to the Punch]: His score for Welcome to the Punch is a stylish and John Carpenter-esq action score sprinkling darker elements as well as themes of drama and sadness to it. He’s really stands out as a composer with serious talent and drive and could very well develop one of the most legendary Bond scores of all time.

Bond Song: Theme music is a piece that is often written specifically for a radio program, television program, video game, or movie and is usually played during the intro, opening credits, and/or ending credits.

            Jess Glynne [Notable Works (Singles): Hold my Hand, Take Me Home, All I Am]: An amazing artist whose music has that pop-tone that fits the Bond songs so well. Her work draws out emotion and really tells a story with it. There’s a lot she can really do with a Bond theme and I have a feeling she could do something harkening back to the more fun and adventurous themes that accompanied Roger Moore’s tenure as Bond and that would be a welcomed trait.

Screenwriter: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.

            Eran Creevy [Notable Works: Shifty, Welcome to the Punch, Collide]: His scripts are action packed but also meaningful and thought provoking. With an outstanding debut script in Shifty and a hard-nosed action thriller in Welcome to the Punch he’s developed a style to his scripts that make him a unique but fitting and appropriate choice to pen a Bond film.

Director: A film director is a person who directs the making of a film. Generally, a film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. The director has a key role in choosing the cast members, production design, and the creative aspects of filmmaking.

            Eran Creevy [Notable Works: Shifty, Welcome to the Punch, Collide]: His direction is stylish, clever, and unique. He has a vision in his works and with a strong filmography (2/3 hell of a track record for good films) there’s no doubt he’s the type of independent talent that can come on seen with a Bond film and make something unexpected and wonderful out of it.

Countess Teressa Di Vicenzo/Tracy [Height: N/A, Age: 25]: Daughter Italian Countess Giliana Di Vicenzo and the French Mob Boss Marc-Ange Draco. Her father’s mafia connections caused her mother to hide her from her paternal family. She grew up unwanted by the Royal Family and often traveled far away. When she was just a teenager she ran away and found her father who welcomed her and raised her as she should have been. She grew a strong dislike for her mother’s family until her father convinced her to reconnect with them. During this she was kidnapped by Spectre and brought to Comte Bleuville’s clinic. During her stay she meets and falls in Love with British spy: James Bond, who in turn falls in love with her as well. On their wedding day her “sleeper” training is awakened causing her to shoot at Bond who reflexively returns fires and kills her. Bond cradles her lifeless body crying, declaring “We have all the time in the world”

            Nora Arnezeder [Height: 5’ 7”, Age: 30, Notable Works: Zoo, Manaic, Safe House]: Just looking at her it’s easy to see how a person could fall in love with this immensely talented actress. She’s very talented and has all the proper qualities of a character like Tracy and would no doubt be iconic in the role. She’s got the look and talent and can overall just control and audience and make them believe even James Bond would fall in love with her.

Comte Balthazar de Bleuville [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 50’s]: A member of the Royal Family, denied his own royal privilege. He seeks to use his specialized Clinic to infect other members of Royal Families to become his sleep agents, causing mass murder all over the world and allowing him to rise to Power in English rule. He is one of three founding members of Spectre, who’s resources helped establish his clinic as well as help him in capturing various members of Royal Families. 

            Guy Pearce [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 52, Notable Works: Memento, Lawless, Iron Man 3]: Guy Pearce has played some of the most delightful villains. Looking back, his work on Iron Man 3 and the entire film was ahead of its time. He pulled a wonderful villain out of Aldrich and could no doubt take the role of the Comte and make it every bit as menacing and terrifying as it was in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Pearce has wanted to play a Bond villain before, and I’d say this is the perfect role and opportunity.

M, Amis MacIntyre is running for Prime Minister. He sends Bond on a mission to eliminate the Head of Spectre, a figure called Dr. Shatterhand. Trouble brews as a mysterious hitman using a signature Golden Gun attacks Bond, leading the Spy to run for his life and attempt to apprehend Shatterhand. Bond travels to Japan to take down Shatterhand, leading to a stunning revelation that Bond’s Commander “M” has been the real head of Spectre – Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Bond must stop his boss and his election campaign before the people of London turn over power into the hands of Spectre.

            Ludwig Göransson [Notable Works: Creed, Black Panther, Death Wish]: His work is unique, he’s brought the region and the central elements of a film’s characters alive in his score. He’s given themes that are catchy, actiony, and fitting of the film and thematic sensibilities. He is one of those composers who you can tell will be a future name like Hans Zimmer and Thomas Newman and there’s no doubt he would be fantastic in scoring Bond.

Bond Song: Theme music is a piece that is often written specifically for a radio program, television program, video game, or movie and is usually played during the intro, opening credits, and/or ending credits.

            MARINA [Notable Works (Singles): Radioactive, Immortal, Gold]: It doesn’t take much time to hear why she is such a talented singer and to see why she’s perfect for a Bond theme. Her music is diverse and unique, adding to elements and themes other artist don’t tend to really explore in her work and would no doubt create one of the great classic Bond movie themes.

Screenwriter: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.

            Steve Kloves [Notable Works: The Fabulous Baker Boys, Flesh and Bone, Harry Potter {Franchise}]: He’s a great writer and has worked along big serialized franchises before and has certainly kept up a level of quality in his work that seems near impossible to do. He’s a great writer, hitting dialogue and action expertly and could no doubt turn out an interesting and thrilling Bond script.

Director: A film director is a person who directs the making of a film. Generally, a film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. The director has a key role in choosing the cast members, production design, and the creative aspects of filmmaking.

David Yates [Notable Works: The Tichborne Claiment, The Legend of Tarzan, Harry Potter {Franchise}]: He’s a great director, his work has time and again evolved and driven character based stories, handling them with a level of expertise some directors could only dream of. His work with the Harry Potter franchise is fantastic and his continued work only shows he can continue to evolve such fantastic concepts and bring new dimensions to them, a trait that could be very attractive to a Bond film.

Tiger Tanaka [Height: N/A, Age: 50’s]: Head of the Japanese Secret Service who has been tracking Spectre and specifically Dr. Guntram Shatterhand, a “Gaijin” who’s influence has negatively impacted the youth of Japan, many of whom travel to his Suicide Garden. He welcome’s Bond’s assistance upon the discovery that Bond has been ruthlessly tracking down Spectre and suspects Shatterhand to be the last leading member. 

            Tohoru Masamune [Height: N/A, Age: 60, Notable Works: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sway, Artificial]: One of the best actors who’s only beginning to be recognized in more western projects and deservedly so. He’s a great actor who brings a strong level of sternness and intensity to his roles and would play the role of Tanaka wonderfully.

Kissy Suzuki [Height: N/A, Age: 24]: Kissy Suzuki is an Ama diving girl who is distantly related to one of Tanaka's agents and is therefore asked to assist Bond. Bond, going undercover as a Japanese fisherman, stays with Kissy and her family in order to better establish his cover.

           Tao Okamoto [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 34, Notable Works: The Wolverine, Hannibal, Westworld]: I can’t help but love Tao’s work. She’s one of my favorite actresses and would be an absolute treat to see appear in the Bond film series. Taking a role like Kissy allows her to take a role barely known and re-introduce it into the lexicon giving the character a definitive form the way of Honor Blackman’s Pussy Galore.

Francisco Scaramanga [Height: 6’ 3”, Age: 35]: An assassin of world renown talent, whoever employs him, and his priceless Gold arsenal pay him 100 Pounds in Gold per hit. He is one the most talented and valuable of Spectre’s long line of paid assassins. He’s paid to help bring Bond to Shatterhand and assassinate the Secret Agent while Ernst Stavro Blofeld takes political office in the United Kingdom.

            Pedro Pascal [Height: 5’ 11”, Age: 44, Notable Works: Narcos, Triple Frontier, The Mandalorian]: One of the most dynamic and extensive actors working. Pedro has turned heads in The Mandalorian and has always been a wonderful actor, dating back to his stellar run in Narcos and his appearance in Netflix’s Triple Frontier, there’s no shortage of amazing roles Pedro has taken. With Wonder Woman 1984 on the horizon he faces a cultural exposure-explosion. He’s no doubt a strong enough actor to take a role like Scaramanga and make him one of the most legendary Bond villains on screen, while honoring the work done by the late Sir Christopher Lee.

Dr. Guntram Shatterhand [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 60’s]: The second of three founding members of Spectre. He resides in Japan and is a Japanophile, in his Garden of Death is where Ernst Stavro Blofeld presented him the initial idea that became Spectre. Together with Comte Bleuville they created the most powerful and until recent well-hidden criminal empire in the world. With each taking over a different aspect of the world to create an unholy trinity. Shatterhand was given control of Asia while Europe was split into two large halves dedicated equally to Blofeld and Bleuville. The plan was to take over and then use their combined power to start war with Middle East and the America’s launching nuclear warheads as a way of “removing the unsalvageable.” As he encounters Bond, Shatterhand reveals Blofeld’s place as the head of MI6 and soon Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

            Gary Oldman [Height: 5’ 9”, Age: 61, Notable Works: Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Fifth Element, Darkest Hour]: A wonderful actor and someone who has been approached for a villainous role before (rumor has it he was offered Blofeld in Spectre) and there’s no doubt Oldman has played some fantastic and legendary villains. He’s an actor beyond compare and would be an absolute dream to play such a character as Shatterhand in a Bond film, no doubt he would be perfect.
