James Bond 31 Day Challenge. Day 3

 

3. Hmmmm. I wanna see another woman as the big bad. Sophie Marceau was a bit of a damp squib in The World Is Not Enough so gimme Patricia Clarkson or Kathy Bates. Or Patricia Clarkson and Kathy Bates as two megalomaniacal baddies gunning for Bond's head. You can never go wrong with those two masters of film.

As for director? Give it to Martin Scorsese. He'd can do crowdpleasers (The Departed, The Wolf Of Wall Street. The Color Of Money) and he wouldn't fuck with the formula. Too much anyway. We might even get Joe Pesci as a hitman in the opening scene...

Song? It's Beyoncé's turn. A big brassy tune. It would be great to bring it back to something similar to Gladys Knight's Licence To Kill or Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger. The last few songs have been unmemorable to say the least.
