The original script for the James Bond reboot following Roger Moores departure in the 1980s sounds more like an Indiana Jones movie than a Bond movie. Whenever a Bond actor retires from the role, the producers dont just have to find a new actor to don the tuxedo; they have to come up with a way to reinvent the franchise. They ended up following the goofy, tongue-in-cheek humor of Moores tenure with the darker, grittier, more faithful Timothy Dalton Bond movies but that wasnt their first thought.
