I've seen this done elsewhere. If you had control of EON, how would YOUR Bond film series look? This is mine:
Sean Connery
Dr No (1962) - No Q or reference to Bond's Beretta
From Russia With Love (1963) - Same.
Goldfinger (1964) - Directed by Terence Young.
Thunderball (1965) - Trimmed down.
Connery announces that the next Bond film will be his last so an extra year is spent making the film 'extra special'.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1967) - Directed by Terence Young. No refrence to previous Bond films
After the enormous success of OHMSS the Bond producers cannot find anybody good enough to fill Connery's shoes so they leave the Bond series to rest for a few years.
Roger Moore
Moore is finally free from TV contracts and so producer Albert R Broccoli decides to cast him as the all-new James Bond in LALD.
Live and Let Die (1973) - Kananga gets proper send-off
(Eaten by sharks), Bond watch isn't magnetic
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) - Bigger climax.
Due to more legal battles which Kevin McClory there is a 3-year gap between TMWTGG & TSWLM.
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) - Same
Moonraker (1979) - Jaws doesn't return & Bond doesn't go to space
For Your Eyes Only (1981) - Cut out Blofeld in the pre-creds & replace with boat blowing up, M's funeral also features, Bond is asked to take over as head but declines. Cut out ending with Margaret Thatcher.
Moore leaves with Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell to persue other roles.
Timothy Dalton
Octopussy (1983) - Edward Fox as M & Caroline Bliss as Moneypenny. Trimmed down, less camp.
From A View To A Kill (1985) - Different plot. No California Girls music in pre-creds. Better titles. Bond doesn't sleep with MayDay. Bigger climax. To hell with it, change the whole bloody film :*D
The Living Daylights (1987) - No cello-chase.
Licence Revoked (1989) - Different pre-creds. Less Q. No Moneypenny.
The Bond series is put to rest on a high with LR which sees Bond leave MI6 for good.
Daniel Craig
After winning the rights to make CR in the early 00's, Albert R Brocooli's step-son, Michael G Wilson decides to make it as the first of a brand-new, rebooted Bond series.
Casino Royale (2007) - New M. Trimmed down.
The Property of a Lady (2008) - Same as QOS.
Risico (2010) - Wraps up the loose ends of CR & TPOAL. Reintroduces Moneypenny and Q.
Colonel Sun (2012) - Based on novel.
