Title?

Number24

I hope they will use a Flemming title, and I do belive they will. But if they don't I have found a few i like.
What do you think of:

"Luck of the devil"

"Blood runs cold"

"Fuel to fire"

"At daggers drawn"


Do you have any suggestions or comments?

I do like several of the Raymond Benson titles such as:

Doubleshot

Never Dream of Dying

Blast from the Past

"Blast from the Past" could be an interesting title as Quantum has been involved with financing terrorist operations and they could tie in more of the same with Quantum and bombings.

007 and a half

Like Number24 I also prefer the idea of an old Fleming title such as 'Property of A Lady'.

How about the card hand as Fleming mentioned once 'A Whisper of Love. A Whisper of Hate'.

I kind of like the sound of "The Hildebrand Rarity" or "Risico". It would be cool to have a one word bond title like Goldeneye.

Predator

I have a feeling that a Fleming title will be used again, but perhaps the misunderstanding of the term Quantum of Solace may push Eon away from the Hildebrand Rarity or Risico. Another possibility may be a chapter title:

Dead Reckoning
Something Evil Comes this Way
Blood and Thunder
The Jamaica Version
The Nature of Evil
Death Is So Permanent

Those are all really good titles, however Something Evil Comes this Way is too similar IMO to the Ray Bradbury novel Something Wicked This Way Comes.

I can tell you what the title won't be... chapter 5 from Live And Let Die.
Anyway, my guess at the title is Risico, possibly the villain's name(?).

Well EON hasn't used chapter titles previously, not sure why they would now.

TPOAL or RISICO would be fine by me, SHATTERHAND (with or without the Dr.) too if they want to use that moniker in the film, it's such a great and as yet unused Fleming villain name.

Jarvio

I hope, and think, it will be a Fleming title.

Sure, people are saying that 'risico' and 'the hildebrand rarity' sound weird or not catchy enough, but they have gone to extremes already with QOS (which IMO is even stranger sounding than risico and THR).

Plus, I see the DC era as a Fleming title era too.

So hopefully it will be either:
'Risico'
'The Hildebrand Rarity'
or
'The Property Of A Lady'

'007 In New York' would be pushing it though

Hopefully all 3 if DC does up to Bond 25 he will only be 45 or 46.

Thanks. I really hadn't thought about the double- 0 thing.

I agree with the majority here: The Property of a Lady and Risico are the most likely candidates. Can't see The Hildebrant Rarity working, and don't get me started on 007 in New York. It worked for Tarzan, but I don't see it going well with Bond.

Anyway, some book chapter titles aren't that bad, and I don't see why the producers wouldn't go for them once the literary well goes completely dry.

Such as "A whisper of hate", "The Undertaker's wind" and "The prewailing wind"?

I agree.

But I really started this thread to discuss titles we come up with ourselves. The Flemming titles have been debated a lot, perhaps enough.

"The Undertaker's wind"

I'm sorry, but this title sounds like flatulence LOL

As toilet-humour as this most definitely is, I have to agree as well! )

I'm fully aware that it's a chapter from Live and Let Die, but out-of-context it sounds quite funny. You can imagine how the press would tackle something like this after they were so harsh towards Quantum of Solace being the title of Bond 22.

Ok, then. Of the three you mention, I'd go with AWoH. The other two are too literary (and "the Undertaker" prone to

Now, as for original titles (and please let's try to be original and have nothing with "Die" or "Kill" in it), what do you think of the following ones:

- Off the Mark.
- The Winter Contract.
- Blind Sanction.

A bit silly, will try to think a couple better ones.

Prone to what? :v )

Since mr. White is probably the next Bloefeld, Perhaps a move should be called

WHITEOUT

A whiteout can be to be tricked by White or killing White.

Harry Palmer

"Hell or Highwater" to me remains the best possible "original" title for a Bond film. I had suggested it some time back before the title of QoS was announced. Then I found out it was being used for a fan fiction. In any case, I think it's very Flemingesque.
If that doesn't fly, I recommend a short variation: "Highwater". Other options are: "Dead Reckoning" (chapter title from Moonraker) and "Spy's Gambit". In sum (I'll make it easy for the fols at Eon):

1. Hell or Highwater
2. Highwater
3. Dead Reckoning
4. Spy's Gambit

Prone to some toilet humour, as already proved... and me, prone to Alzheimer's, forgetting I haven't finished a message and sending it anyway... ):#

I like Whiteout quite a lot, though, but should they really be so "literal" with names and titles? (i.e., "CR", "Quantum" oS, etc) I myself would prefer a more generic phrase, not linked to a specific person/organisation, like "The Living Daylights" or "The World is Not Enough".

Lexi

I think I'm one of the few on here that really dislikes 'Property of a Lady'. It sounds like a Jane Austen Novel (and I love those ) ) But it just doesn't seem gritty enough for a Bond film, especially with Craig at the helm.

- and with the last two movies, surely Bond is making the point extremly clear that he isn't the property of anyone! Or ever will.*


*Unless of course we are talking about his duty to His Queen - but still.....you get my point

j.blades

i must confess the following are chapter titles form ohmss but i think that these are quite fitting like;

'The Gambit of Shame' [really like this one. :007) ]
'Hell's Delight'
'A Bleeding Heart' [from casino royale]

Jarvio

Besides Fleming titles, I always liked the title 'One Life Left'

Barry Nelson

Anyone know who owns the rights to the title Colonel Sun. It was IMO the best non-Fleming novel and would make a good title.

Predator

AFAIK it will still be with the Fleming estate, but whether or not Fleming's estate has licensed all film rights to their IP, I'm not sure ...

Yankee Mike Bravo

So far, I'm liking:

Luck of the Devil and
Doubleshot

spy008

Live Once,Die Twice.

Mister White

Risico.

No question about it.

Number24

I have to remind us all (again) that the topic is for discussing titles we came up with ourselves.

WHITEOUT

The definition of "whiteout" is:

n.
1. A polar weather condition caused by a heavy cloud cover over the snow, in which the light coming from above is approximately equal to the light reflected from below, and which is characterized by absence of shadow, invisibility of the horizon, and discernibility of only very dark objects.
2. A fluid, usually white, that dries quickly and is applied to printed matter to cover mistakes.


Mr. White being (one of) the main villan(s) it also has two other meanings:

1) Killing Mr. White

2) Being decieved by Mr. White.


If the story is set (partly) in winter or artic regions it could also refer to the landscape.
