This will be unpopular, but I think its probably time to retire Bond before it gets run entirely into the ground and becomes the Police Academy of Spy Movies. With the loss of the original M & Q, the series lost all of its original panache and none of the Bonds since Moore (who wasn't half the Bond that Connery was) have been able to really recapture the trademark Bond flair. All we've had since then are gadgets, explosions, and an English accent.
You can take the laser pens and Cello riding snow chases, and stack them as high as you want, and they still don't come close to the scene in Thunderball were Connery walks in on Fiona Volpe in the bath and she asks him to give her something to wear - so he deftly hands her shoes.
Unfortunately the sophistication level since then has dropped to standard Xbox levels.
