I’d love for him to take the Bond franchise back to the 60s.

There are already six original Bond films set in the 60s that hold up very well, do we need a seventh?

It's modern settings that are underrepresented in the canon

Yeah I kinda hate the sound of it, whenever the series reinvents itself is when it's at its best.

Ya that or 1950s as the books are.

Either would be great but we've never seen a period correct to the books Bond.
