The new "James Bond" film will be very different for Theo James, Tom Hiddleston or Aidan Turner from previous adaptations of Ian Flemming's spy franchise. A Theo James, Tom Hiddleston or even Aidan Turner lead notwithstanding, the new "James Bond" may be tame compared to "Spectre," which starred Daniel Craig.
The Mirror reports that the latest "James Bond" film "Spectre" got flack for the violence in the Daniel Craig film. The media outlet cites the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), which received the most complaints for 2015 about the "James Bond" film.
Historically, the presumed final "James Bond" film by Daniel Craig shares the rank for fourth most complained-about film in the last 10 years. "Black Swan" currently ties with "Spectre."
"James Bond: Spectre" and "Black Swan" were trumped by "Men In Black" in second place and "The Hunger Games" in third place. "James Bond" bows to "The Woman In Black," which takes first place in complaints for the decade.
"Casino Royale," which was the first time Daniel Craig appeared as James Bond, and "Quantum Solace" also took some beating. Given the upward trend on noted violence content the new "James Bond" film may heed BBFC feedback and tame down the "Spectre" sequel.
IGN reports that Gregg Wilson of EON Productions says the new "James Bond" is currently on R&D. When creating new "James Bond" storylines, Gregg Wilson shared that they look into relevance such as when "Spectre" took on global surveillance as the underpinning theme.
"Each script process begins when we ask ourselves the question: 'What is the world afraid right now?'" Gregg Wilson said. "So right now we are trying to find out what theme will be relevant in the coming years."
Theo James and Aidan Turner, or whoever may win the candidacy over Tom Hiddleston and Jon Hamm, as the new James Bond could find themselves a very different 007 than Daniel Craig. At best, the new "James Bond" would be high on tech to cover for a tamed overall feel.
