the studio type's wrecked another good thing by trying to save money. Just like cancelling enterprise. Just like Lucas not doing the sequels to star wars because a new cast would be cheaper. Whatever fag they pick to be the new bond i won't go to see, they already screwed over sean connery and now brosnan. who said bond had to be a perpetual 30 something, it would've been interesting to see adventures with a aged james bond who came out of retirement for one last hurrah. By the way Casino Royale was the very first bond novel written by ian fleming, and originally serialized in magazines not a novel to begin with but edited that way later. Of course hollywood has gone too far with the new prequels thing, star wars, the new star trek coming out in 2007, batman begins, they even made a prequel to dumb and dumber without jim carrey that sucked. The only prequels i really like are Revenge of The Sith (only parts of it) enterprise, and the silmarillion and the hobbit which are prequels to thr rings trilogy but have not been made yet into movies. Harve Bennet's Prequel idea for star trek Vi that got cancelled eventually got used in the game starfleet academy.
