James Bond: All the Bonds Together
What if you could have all those who have been James Bond in one movie? It is not an idea of mine by the way, but a project that was on years ago and sadly never came to be.
The idea was that James Bond is actually a name that is given to special agents also known as 007. That would justify to have Sean Connery, George Lazemby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig all in the same film.
Is money the problem? Perhaps not. Quite often Connery has been cited manifesting disdain for the character that made him famous and he has gone as far as to reject the possibility to ever be Bond again. You cannot make an "all-Bonds" movie without Connery, still the quintessential Bond.
A pity, really. None of them is getting any younger (especially Moore and Connery) and this would have been the right time to make such film since it is in this year, 2012, that the franchise turns 50. Besides (spoiler ahead) in Skyfall it is revealed that 007 has indeed had the name Bond since he was born.
Still, one can´t help but dream. We can do that while all of the "former Bonds" are still alive. With the right director, and a compelling plot (and the always powerful argument of money in the middle, of course) we could have this dream project come true. The premise should not be a complicate one, just make a threat so overwhelming that one Bond is not enough and thus the new M has to locate all the previous Bonds with the help of the new Q (which just like M is a name that is given to whoever is in this or that position).
Again, for now fans of the character can only dream: you never know, after all they are already making the next Star Wars film.
