A Lego James Bond Game That Never Was: A Pitch That Could Have Been
A 50-second video has been making the rounds on social media, showcasing a pitch for a Lego James Bond game that never saw the light of day. The video, which has been deleted from various platforms due to copyright claims, shows Lego James Bond reenacting iconic scenes from various Bond movies, including the famous crocodile gauntlet from Live and Let Die.
A Pitch that Never Got Approval
According to LEGOGameMuseum, a mod of the legogaming subreddit, the video was made as a pitch to get approval for a full Lego James Bond game. However, it seems that the pitch never got the green light. The reason for this is unclear, but some speculate that it may be due to the violence and sexual innuendo present in the James Bond franchise, making it unsuitable for a kid-friendly Lego game.
A Game That Could Have Been
The idea of a Lego James Bond game is an exciting one, and many fans are now wondering why it never came to fruition. Fans of the franchise and gamers alike would have likely played the game, and it’s hard not to imagine the possibilities of Lego versions of iconic Bond characters like James Bond, Q, and M, as well as the villains like Blofeld and Scaramanga.
A glimmer of Hope
Although the game never got made, fans still hold out hope that it could be revisited in the future. The LEGOGameMuseum notes that Traveller’s Tales, the developers of the LEGO game series, have been willing to try new things, and it’s possible that they could revisit the idea in the future. The biggest barrier to this would be Warner Bros.’ insistence on sticking to their owned IP.
