Bond 24 Thread

Jarvio

Not sure if this is cool with the mods, but worth a shot:

Seeing as SiCo is still absent, the 'bond 24 and beyond' forum can't possibly be added to the site, as only SiCo has that power...

So, until (and if) he returns, how about this be the thread to discuss all things about bond 24 and onwards? Nothing on Skyfall though - there's a whole forum for that!

What do you think?

Sir Miles

Probably ok to have one somewhere....but not in the Skyfall forum I'd think...

Do you wanna move it there?
Good idea though Jarvio, taking the intiative. Shall I atleast start the ball rolling..
Titles for Bond 24?
Out of the left over Bond titles, Risico and the proptery of a lady are the best.
How about the title, The Inhuman Element, Fleming was considering that title for Moonraker. Another member in this forum mentioned 'Every Rose has its thorn" which would be perfect if the new movie had a Female Villianess. If they introduced her as the leader of Quantum, that would be wonderful. I quite like the title Death's Shadow, from the midsomer Murder episode and the title "the long scream" stolen from a chapter in Dr No. What do you guys think, suited for DC's Bond?

Mr Beech

I think Risico is very interesting-sounding. Has that high-minded espionage sound to me. The Property of a Lady is too awkward and joke-worthy for the American public, in my opinion, but I wouldn't mind it.

It being awkward-Yeah I just realized that...
I can't see it being called The hildebrand rarity

Mr Beech

That said, The Property of A Lady does allow for that 007 line-up again.

There is already a Bond 24 topic in the Skyfall forum so it would probably be a good idea to move this one to the Films forum.

Bond 24 already on the cards

I'm seriously considereing a name-change right about now .....

About the titles, these are my suggestions:

Property of a Lady

Risico

A Whisper of Hate

Firesoul*


* A direct translation of a Norwegian translation of a word meaning someone who belives in something very much. I know it sounds a bit like Skyfall, but still ......

There's a lot of directions they can take Bond to in the next one. It's going to be intresting to see Ralph Fiennes and Noami Harris in a classic 'Bond at the office' scene. I liked Wishaw's Q a lot as well. They might go for a lighter touch in the next one as well and I really think now is the right time to place the gunbarrel at the start of the movie again. I really hope Sam Mendes will return for Bond 24, that could highly influence the quality of the movie I think.

raptors_887

I hope they go back to making one every 2 years. This 4 years wait time is way too long.

Strangeways

Does anyone else feel kind of melancholy at this point after a Bond year?
(Erm, see what I did there??)

I mean, we have all the build up...trailer, poster, title song, PREMIER AND MOVIE RELEASE, pirate downloads, then DVD etc etc. now, it's all over for another two years.

I have loved every minute of the past 12 months. Topped off with the DVD release coinciding with the Oscars. I am already excited about Bond 24.

Thunderpussy

I love to see Bond having to go Under cover perhaps to The Villians
Lair. Totally isolated ( like in OHMSS ) Somewhere like the S.American
Jungle.
Totally cut off, and having to fight his way out ( saving the girl as well ).

AlphaOmegaSin

I would like to see a Period Bond Film, set in the 50's like the first several Novels were.

I like that idea. However I can't really see Bond 'doing a Rambo' in the jungle.

As I've said before, I'm hankering to see DC on a pair on a pair of skis )

No, I was more thinking that a small comando team could also be moving in on the
villains lair, who help just in time for the Big finish, F Leiter could be leading the
Team. :007)

Number24

I have an idea for a traditional-style plan for the villan. Let's imagine the villan lives in the Middle East or Asia and he hates Europe and America. He places a large bomb in the vulcano Cumbre Vieja on on eof the Canary Islands. Here is somthing I found on the web:

Geological evidence suggests that during a future
eruption, Cumbre Vieja Volcano on the Island of La Palma
may experience a catastrophic failure of its west flank, dropping
150 to 500 km3 of rock into the sea. Using a geologically
reasonable estimate of landslide motion, we model tsunami
waves produced by such a collapse. Waves generated by the
run-out of a 500 km3 (150 km3) slide block at 100 m/s could
transit the entire Atlantic Basin and arrive on the coasts of the
Americas with 10-25 m (3-8 m) height.


In other words an eruption in this vulcano wold lead to a gigant tsunami on the west coast of North and South America and mauch of Europe. Putting lots of explosives or a atomic bomb in the crater could set it of. After having villans who have much more modest plans, it's time for Craig to face a megalomaniac, world-treathening (well, parts of it ...) villan!

Thunderpussy

I for one think that's a Cool idea. -{
I love to see Craig's Bond take on a larger than life Villain
with a world wide caper. :007)

I agree... although nowadays I don't think they can do a "quality" Bond film every two years. In the old days, they did one EVERY YEAR! And each one was awesome.

If they could maintain a high production Bond film every two years, I would be all for it.

Quite remarkable what they achieved in shooting those first four films almost back to back. Nowadays, the average per film is nearer three years, and that is likely to continue. Let us just hope there are no more financial/legal issues any time soon.

I'd like to see a recent Aston Martin in Bond 24.

As Ford sold the company, it's not gonna happen though.....

With a physical showdown against a villain who is bigger, tougher, and meaner than him...after of course some unconnected PTS in a glamourous location where he gets the girl, and guess what SHE DOES NOT DIE !
Perhaps even some cool toys ( not a Maplin £5 kiddie radio)

Apparently Adele is being lined up to do the theme song for Bond 24. Just wonder what everyone thinks about it? I'm undecided, Skyfall was a class Bond song and I'd like her to do another. Undecided whether it should be straight after Skyfall though

Please God let it not be true. Skyfall was like a Bond theme conceived in a test tube, an ersatz Bond theme of badly strung together cliche that almost echoed past glories. Lets move forward please.

LastRatStanding

Adele doing another Bond song would be allright, just not 2 in a row.

Adele couldn't pronounce words correctly to save her life. I like the song Skyfall, but the way she sang it killed it.

So I hope this isn't true - I'd hate to think she'd become the neo Shirley Bassey of bond songs

Strangeways

If it aint broke, don't fix it.
Adele, Sam Mendes, Ralph Finnes, Ben Wishaw, maybe even Albert Finney could be in Bond 24.
Love it!!!
