Like the Bond novel "Moonraker," we might finally get a film that is set entirely in the U.K. The good guys can have their HQ in Thor's Cave, and the bad guys can have their HQ at the bottom of Windermere.
We might get a film with better acting in it. Glenda Jackson won an Oscar for her performance in "Women in Love," and Ann-Margret was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in "Tommy." I have never known anyone to win an Oscar for acting or even being nominated for their acting in any of the Bond films.
We might get a film with better writing. One of the best known features of the Bond films is Bond's double entendres. There was Roger Moore's, when he wanted a man to talk, pointing his gun at the man's groin and saying: "Speak now or forever hold your piece." Any others? That's what I thought. While just in "Lair of the White Worm" we have "'Do you have children? -- 'Only when there are no men around.'" and "'How do you rate the music?' -- 'I'm not really into headbanging.' -- 'Are you into any kind of banging?'"
Almost everyother aspect of the Bonds films should be about the same as Russell's previous films, except for . . .
The SFX, which have, for the most part, never been that good in any of Russell's films. And the opening credits, which for the most part have been more memorable in the Bond films than in Russell's films. But I would like to see what the opening credits would look like in a Bond film directed by Russell. We would have battalions of naked nuns marching across the screen. Though, how you would know they were nuns, when they were naked, is anybody's guess. We would have snakes shaping themselves into the numbers 007., etc.
And this concludes this thread. Next time: Russell's 10 Best Sex Scenes
