James Bond 007 WARHEAD (* unfinished project *)

Coming Soon Warhead is a fan edit of the 1993 Brosnan film Detonator aka death train… The title Warhead refers to the nuke on the train, while also a nod to the McClory title. The film will work as a short film ( roughly 30 mins or so ), all about the mission. It will tighten up the action, (Think of how the TND opening worked) Brosnan in the field and away from the control room. It will play like an extended pre-title seq rather than a full 3 act story. It can in a sense work as a prequel to Goldeneye (timeline wise). The film as is, is paced horribly. New sound-effects and bond score will be added, along with the gunbarrel introduced in Goldeneye. Patrick Stewart will have a role similar to M. I haven’t decided if it’s possible to make him M in the edit or not. I won’t know until I get to that point. Alexandra Paul’s role will be edited down to be a part of the team, and not a bond girl/bond’s equal character. Christopher Lee of-course will be the bad guy. With the exception of Alexandra Paul the cast isn’t bad, and will some tight editing and new sound, I really think this is possible. The dead bond years between 1989 and 1995 will now have at-least one mission, at least in the fan-edit world. As far as extras go, I plan on creating a teaser and full trailer. Since Brosnan almost got the role in 1987, and was even announced with it. I toyed with the idea of making trailers for TLD,LTK and the 1991 never made film. Using footage of films Brosnan did around the same time intercut with footage from the Dalton era films. This project is in no way meant to dis-credit Daltons work, or any other bond actors work. It is simply, for fun.

Interesting.  This one could be pretty cool if done right.  Keep us posted.

Cool, good idea, you should include some footage from the 1980 something Sean Connery Nevery Say Never again, it has some good warhead footage.

srry the web page is freaking out its got me posting far too many of the same stuff

The film was made in 1993, He is obviously a lot younger than the bond in 02. Plus the themes of the story are very early 90's with the Russian connection. I wish I wouldn't have announced this yet, only because I think it's going to take a little longer than expected. I recently got involved into a lot of work and it will be the fall at earliest before I can tackle this. Glad to see people are excited about it though.

You could probably edit a pre-title sequence from night watch (aka detonator 2) and update the gun-barrel sequence, mix your own gun-barrel song, and create titles using the text-less thunderboll titles.

If you rele got into it this could be awsome.  Try making it longer than 30mins, this idea has potential.  Maybe some shots of sean connery or timothy dalton could be added since that was the original idea for warhead.

I was originally going to edit Never Say Never Again with shots from the Living Daylights, and various other clips, also adding a gun-barrel, and using 1 complete score.  If you were trying to make what Warhead was going to be, that would have been.

Dont get me wrong this could be cool as well.

 Don't sweat it.  Just let this thread slip into the murky haze of the dozens and dozens of projects in the works or on the backburner here and later on, you drop a warhead on us.

I would love to see this project come true. I'm too a great Bond fan and I have myself a plan of making a fan-edit of Diamonds are forever, but it's just a plan at the moment as I am halfway through another Bond fan-edit.

I really hope you make this one - go for it!

You know, I think it'd be best if this re-edit was structured as if it were a Bond film, prior to the Dalton ones. That way, it'd be WARHEAD, the Dalton ones, and then the four Brosnan ones.

 

What do you think?

Why not just have him make it take place between Licence to Kill and GoldenEye? I mean there's a suitable gap of time between the two films and both movies he's making this project from were made during this time.

WARHEAD: The Forgotten James Bond Film (A re-edit of Detonator I & II). Hey, it could work maybe.

Somewhere on the internet I've also seen custom movie posters of James Bond films that never were. Cool concept. And if you wanted my opinion, George Lazenby should've made another 007 film. Same goes for Timothy Dalton but legal issues for the film rights of the character from I think 1989 to 1994 put a temporary hold on that. Said film was going to titled (based upon what I've read) Property of a Lady. It might've been great or it might've been shite. May never know.
