Previous Debate: Would you support any or all of the following spin-off projects from EON?

Considering how well programs like Mad Men have done, I'd be on a period-set Fleming reboot in a heartbeat.

And some Felix adventures, I'm all over that.

Good avatar, 00Twelve.

The only idea posted that interests me would be a 1950's Bond. But even this idea I would prefer as a side project to the ongoing "Bond in the now" series.

Although as we have seen from recent films such as X-Men First Class and Captain America, that mid 20th century period pieces can be quite, colourful, spectacular, escapist and Bondian.

This. I'd like faithful adaptations of Fleming's novels, whilst still retaining the 50 year cinematic franchise.

My choice for Bond in this type of film? Michael Fassbender.

Faithful adaptations of Flemmmmming? Could be great. If they did it right now it could come across as Mad Men meets Bond (especially LALD, DAF, TB and TSWLM) though. Jon Hamm IS Felix Leiter!

Wouldn't have minded if Gregory Ratoff's CR got off the ground, at least for the amusement value.

After watching the Incredibles when it came out, with the island and music (very Bond like) I have always thought a 50's or 60's digital animation Bond film might be kind of cool. Something seperate from the standard films.

Well, we've had Die Another Day... as close to a digital animation Bond pastiche as possible.

That isn't such a bad idea tbh.

It could really work.

I also like the idea of a faithfully adapted 1950s Bond, and I think it would work best on television. I'd watch something like that faithfully, and I'm not usually much for TV.

Yep, that's not a bad idea, and it wouldn't compete with the main series. I do think its important, and enough work, to keep the main film series strong and robust, and financially healthy, so for that reason, spin-offs don't interest me, unless a rival company to Eon, suddenly got Bond rights too, and started cranking out big budget competition featuring Bond as main character.
