I agree with the above poster, stop making Bond after Brosnan's 5th one. If they're going to remake him as a younger hipper guy to attract a youger audience, why bother, they tried with xXx.
What made Bond unique was what Ian Fleming, Terance Young and Sean Connery did in creating the film versions of Bond. Sadly the studios want to cater to what they think today's audiences want. Which is mindless explosive action for teens without the flair of what makes Bond, Bond.
I read Brosnan felt that they should just go back to basics and make a good thriller with characterization. But then that might be too adult! The Bourne Identity had a feeling of what a modern Bond film could be. Just add a few little bits of traditional Bond flair.
