![]() But Brolin, come on, no way would cinemagoers have welcomed him as Bond back then. Ok, I was young myself, I went to the movies regularly, but I'd grown tired of Moore as Bond long before OP came along (MR and FYEO saw to that) and would've welcomed a new Bond, whether that had been Collins or Oliver Tobias I didn't mind either way.

To this day, I still don't understand what Cubby had against Lewis Collins as Bond. This was a period in cinema where big budget movies could also be big BO flops. What with Connery coming back for NSNA, the press, fans and Uncle Tom Cobley and all would've had a field day. The fact that the UK newspapers were advocating Lewis Collins for Bond roughly around this period, a very credible suggestion IMHO, it would've been commercial suicide to go with the all-American Brolin at this stage. Sam Waterston is Willis, the wisecracking one (for years I thought he was Scott Walker, who played wisecracking astronauts in both The Right Stuff and The Ninth Configuration). The reasonably charismatic cast includes OJ Simpson, Telly. Personally, I was already greatly disturbed by some of Cubby's decision making at the time and Brolin as Bond would've endorsed everything I was feeling that TSWLM was a one-off and he was creatively stunted without Saltzman by his side. A fairly agreeable 1977 family-friendly-action-thriller-conspiracy film, from Lew Grades ITC stable. Being someone who was very much an active cinemagoer when OP came out I can honestly say, unequivocally, that Brolin would've tanked as Bond. Firstly, much like Moore himself, I like the man as a man and liked him as an actor in such movies as Capricorn One, Westworld, The Car and Amityville Horror. Until then, I'll wait and hope that he learns some tips from Ridley Scott.Ok, peeps, I've come out of self-imposed semiretirement through an absence of official Bond news, to add my opinion to this curious topic of Brolin as 007 in OP.

Cast Crew Elliott Gould Robert Caulfield James Brolin Charles Brubaker Hal Holbrook Dr. So far he's been rather mediocre when it comes to war ( Behind Enemy Lines), action ( Flight of the Phoenix), and horror ( The Omen). The premise sounds promising and I'm curious whether Moore will be better at sci-fi than anything else. Not much more is known, but it sounds like a fun project.Īlthough I'm not at all familiar with the original film, I usually take an interest in anything sci-fi given my love for the genre. Moore's version is described as an updated, reimagining written by Eragon and Jurassic Park III writer Peter Buchman. Elliott Gould and James Brolin starred in the original.
