A real look at Bond's new Aston Martin in CASINO ROYALE!!!

Published at:  Feb 20, 2006 11:11:32 PM CST

Hey folks, Harry here... I know Quint posted up a look at the new Aston Martin that Bond will be driving in the next 007 film, but the primary Aston Martin he's driving was only shown as a sketch concept design. Well... There's an actual shot of the sweet looking vehicle - and the good blokes at Mi6 have it! I also saw some weird fucking jackasses on that previous talk back that were talking about the blatant commercialization of BOND and how this represented that nothing had really changed. FUCK THAT! I don't know about you, but I agreed with that statement when Bond was driving a goddamn BMW, but Bond belongs in a fucking Aston Martin. I also approve of Bond being in a Lotus, but only if it goes underwater. Anyways... here's the link thanks to JC...






Hi Harry,



Was very interested to see the new Bond car. I'm still not in love with the idea of a blonde Bond. If you want a better look at the new Aston Martin, have a look at this site:
Mi6 has the pic!



Cheers,


JC

    Bond or Bauer?

    by unclefishbits

    Bauer is insane, AND from the U.S. I assume Bauer would snap his neck, quickly after snapping the barkeeps necks, the roulette croupier's neck, and maybe a cocktail waitress or two. Snapped necks everywhere, I tell ya!

    JB vs. JB

    by hung-wei lo

    Hate to say it (cause I like Bond, I really do), but Bauer all the way! Bond would find a way to get Bauer in a pickle, but then Jack would find a way to get out of it -- within 24 hours no less! And kill up to 50+ baddies in the process! I mean come on, have you seen the bodycount on this show? Then, Bauer would just let him go, because he knows that Bond is nothing more than a rich playboy with cool toys, he's not a terrorist trying to blow up the US. I enjoy both James Bond and '24' for what it's worth, just silly escapist superhero action. I'm able to suspend my disbelief as I'm watching either. It sucks that some people just don't know how to have fun anymore. And for those of you who are ready to bash me for talking shit about Bond instead of Bauer, lighten up! It's just a talkback...about a movie character...who isn't real...just like '24'. Like I said, I like Bond in a special way, like a small furry woodlin' creature.

    My expectations are mixed...

    by lucienpierce

    Now this is coming from a Bond fan...I've read the books, got almost all the films (all of them if you count my VHS copies) but damn...had they put some thought into it they would've realized that you can't tell an origin story for Bond and then give him the absolute newest Aston...unless of course it's only right at the end when we jump to current events and it's basically told as a flashback...This should've been a period film set in the 60's using the original Bond films as the basis. Martin Campbell is another one of those directors that can ably make solid entertainment (Though Vertical Limit & Zorro 2 were all a bit gas) but brings absolutely nothing new to the screen. IMO Goldeneye was close to being the worst (The worst of a good-great bunch) of the Brosnan Bond's (TWINE being the best) so having Campbell back doesn't blow me away but I don't mind so much. To be fair Tamahori's Bond was by far the worst of the Brosnan Bond's, and a pity because it started off so strong. Imagine what Doug Liman could've done for Bond, Bourne Identity mixed with Mr. And Mrs. Smith + Bond Goodness set in the 60's? Absolutely pure cinematic magic! Either way, now that I've gotten over the relative disappointment of Craig's casting (I really enjoyed Layer Cake, but have found Craig very flat in all his roles except for Munich--which was terrible) I'll be there opening weekend. Besides I though Timothy Dalton was fantastic as Bond so perhaps Daniel Craig will change my mind. I loves my Bond, James Bond.

    by redshirt

    they didn't put Bond in one of those pussy little lotus elises! As Bond cars go, the lotus esprit was the worst ever, even though it was submersible. The best was that mustang he drove in diamonds are forever!
    btw, I thought Dalton was a pretty good as well.

    by veritasses

    now let's hope they didn't ruin it by pimping it up with that Romulan cloaking device nonsense. As far as JB vs JB goes, Connery Bond and Brosnan Bond (on a good day) own Kiefer's ass. The other "Bonds" are more like little girls then secret agents.

    The Bentley is shown in the beginning of From Russia With Love and gets a mention in Goldfinger, so it's not ignored completly. Still, I'd also like to see Bond take the wheel of his proper car on film.

    Because he wouldn't spend half his time fannying about because of his daughter. Case closed. No Q is fine by me. I think Llewellyn deserved a bit more respect - the dignified absence of the Quartermaster.

    by vitaly chernobyl

    How stupid is that? They want to make a gritty Bond movie and have him starting out, yet still give him a STG100K+ car? Awful idea and shows they have no idea what they are doing, as confirmed by the last minute casting of such high profile actors/actresses.

    Business as usual?

    by jt kirk

    Not that this isn't an attractive car, not that Bond hasn't had some great shit going down in Aston Martins (Goldeneye being the sole mis-step, it did less than the Lotus in For Your Eyes Only - and that fucker only BLEW UP), but this is awfully similar to the Vanquish from DAD which, forgive me for sinning, wasn't all that great: tiny shotguns, a few more guns in the front, missiles, an ejector seat, and that AWFUL STUPID contrived plot... I mean "cloaking" device, even the enemy Jag in that film was more exciting albeit very singular in its duties. Anyway, nice car, nice lines, hopefully has a few decent gimmicks but nothing patently retarded like last time, the DB5 in Goldfinger and Thunderball, plus the Vantage Volante in The Living Daylights, give this a lot to live up to, but that's the problem I fear, they're TRYING to live up to something rather than going someplace towards the spy Bond we knew in From Russia With Love rather than gadget-happy Bond in Goldfinger.

    You want spy realism in his choice of car? Why? He gives away his real name when he says "The name's Bond, James Bond." If you want secret service realism, read John Le Carre.

    Maybe they think that if they do things like putting Bond back in an Aston Martin it might fool us into thinking we like or care about this movie when all they're doing is jumping the shark, something which the Brosnan movies did NOT do, even though some people think they did for some reason.

    Photos of Craig at Casino Royale Press Conference

    by jt kirk

    These were taken on 2-15-06: http://tinyurl.com/gt4b4 - - - - - - - COME ON!!! What the fuck? This guy looks OLDER than he actually is! I thought part of the point of new-Bond was that he was supposed to be younger so he could carry the franchise a little - this guy is 38 and looks like a liver-lipped, sunken-eyed, grizzled ranch hand tranny a la General Zod in Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.

    Jack has probably killed and tortured more people over 4.5 seasons of work on 24 versus the number Bond has killed in all his movies combined. Jack has even died, TWICE, then brought back to life. Just don't give me any crap on how the crafty Bond would ever measure up to the Crazy Bauer. ___KNEEL___

    Tomorrow Dies In A Golden Way

    by brokebackcowboy

    Ooooh I'm creaming my jeans at that Aston Martin ... damn it is the most beautiful car in the world. Quite honestly, who even cares anymore about either cars or James Bond? When even Saturn can turn out a good-looking convertible, the game is over for a new Aston that looks like the old Aston. Anyway, it's looking quite like the Broccolis are gonna regret tossing Brosnan out. He's publicly saying Craig will have the last laugh, but I bet privately he's taking great pleasure at the farce that is the new Bond.
