I would so watch a good parody bond film but Hollywood would never make this.
A creative casting for a roll of a traditionally beautiful person.
Do you know how many watch ads and car commercials they would miss out on.
No, the next bond will be filmed like the latest marvel garbage. So evenly lit that you’d think it was a commercial with how clean it looks.
a good parody bond film
Hey, at least we have Austin Powers!
Oh gosh. Freaking classics.
Imagine if they made those today. Like not another remake or sequel but like actually made them nowadays. Or Wayne’s World?
I just don’t see it happening without it falling completely flat due to executives being tone deaf shills.
That whole part about mocking the paid ads would just be a paid advertising segment.
Austin Powers was such a successful parody it's the REASON they rebooted the Bondiverse with Daniel Craig as a more grounded Bond, and IMO <insert Professor Hulk absolute win gif here>.
I forget the name of it, but didn't Steve Carell also play a parody of a spy?
Oh yeah, it was a remake of something, if I remember right. I know I saw it, but I don't remember thinking it was very good.
Get Smart
It was Get Smart, a remake of a Mel Brooks TV series from the 60s.
Also, this is the moment that I realized we're closer to the 2060s than the 1960s.
I would so watch a good parody bond film but Hollywood would never make this.
You mean like Get Smart, or Johnny English, or Top Secret, or the David Niven Casino Royale, or Spy, or Spy Hard, or The Man Who Knew Too Little, or True Lies, or Leonard Part 6, or I Spy, or Spies Like Us, or Spy Dad, or The Spy Next Door, or The Spy Who Dumped Me, or The Brothers Grimsby, or S*P*Y*S, or Code Name: The Cleaner, or Austin Powers?
Hollywood fucking loves making parody James Bond films, and some of them are occasionally good.
Yeah they sure like to beat dead horses.
Austin Power, Johnny English and Get Smart would fall under good enough to watch.
The rest is studio executives wanting some of that cake.
Top Secret is Val Kilmer’s best film. Fight me.
It’s Tombstone and you know it!
Tombstone would be better with more skeet surfing.
And underwater saloon fights.
