Thanks. Thing is, with CR being a clear restart, I thought we (I mean as a community of Bond fans associated with the re-editing process) could deviate the Connery-Moore Bonds from the Dalton-Brosnan Bonds by adding films that bookend either.

In the Connery-Moore Bond, I thought we could use the black and white CR, re-edit it so that Bond is more Bond (apparently he's american and all), and sort of have as a prequel to DR. NO, like a large pre-title sequence to DR. NO in essence - an introduction to Bond before Bond. And NSNA, which as a re-edit already exists - I could always put a link to the site from where I got it.

And for Dalton-Brosnan... I had this crazy idea that TAILOR OF PANAMA could've been done as a prequel, using the pre-title sequence of CR and mixing it with DAD's scene where Bond is seated with a gun to Colonel Moon. That could be a sort of introduction to his gunbarel, too, and an essential way to re-introduce Bond for a new continuity as he's to become 00. And Panama could be his first assignment, from which he obtains, by the end of the film, his 007 code. Some scenes would surely have to be trimmed like some rather explicit examples of Brosnan's sexual tastes in the film. I have to rewatch it to determine how we can work something out.

I am actually, rather surprised that not anyone, so far, has come to say "Look, we have what we have, we don't want these re-edits, we don't need them, Brosnan sucks" and so on and so on. I was afraid I'd be gunned down by the minute.

Then again, I still might...
