I agree. It was a Fleming title. And you could easily throw away the plot from the book and make up something more intriguing.
The scent smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning. Then the soul-erosion produced by high gambling - a compost of greed and fear and nervous tension - becomes unbearable and the senses awake and revolt from it.
Oops. I thought it was a Fleming outline finished by Amis. Sorry for the gaff.

I enjoyed the plot of Colonel Sun, IMHO it was the best written and most enjoyable non-Feming Bond. It could easily form the basis of a film. Bu I'm not sure the producers want the titles to start
Albert R Broccoli's EON Productions present
Ian Fleming's James Bond in
Robert Markham's (well, Kingsley Amis's)
Colonel Sun.... )
Nobody has mentioned The Hildebrand Rarity, one of Fleming's original tiles, yet.
Personally IMO I think it's a great title and one they could do a lot with, as its pretty generic ( if that's the right word) - like The Bourne Identity or The Fourth Protocol.
The Property of a lady and Risico, are IMHO the two best titles left.
007 in New york, ( Can't see that ever being used ) The Hildebrand Rarity,
Could be, but I feel the first two are the Best.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Although I haven't been a huge advocate of it in the past, I think this would be the PERFECT time to use "Property of a Lady"...they could tie it in to the bulldog Bond received from M's estate. There could be some special meaning / additional symbolism behind the bulldog. Maybe have a message for Bond (from M) hidden inside the bulldog. What say you?
( Although, long after I chose it,It was pointed out to me
That it is infact a "Name " for a certain act, which did
make me think of changing it. Then I thought Why ?
I'm sure Fleming would of used it, If he'd been a little
More down market Like myself. ) )

I think it would be another backward step if this happened. Bond needs to move on urgently as indicated by end of Skyfall
I can just imagine it now, DC angry again and we have flashback footage of Dench
Just a little gripe I've noticed over the years, but why do about 90% of people refer to "the property of a lady" as just "property of a lady"? Do people not like the 'the' or something? ?:) )
Good call welshboy78 and Thunderpussy, no more angry Bond. I can understand the anger to an extent in Quantum of Solace, having just lost Vesper. But if he's still knotted up inside so badly, then Mallory's suggestion to "stay dead" would surely make some sense. You'd save your liver and your sanity and retire.
Saying all that, my favourite Bond mind-frame is how he was in Casino Royale.
As for a title for Bond 24… I've got nothing, yet. That's not a title suggestion by the way, that is me being empty of ideas. -{ -{
Although while writing this I got to thinking of lines… How about Enjoying Death as a title? The storyline could include any number of fundamentalist ideas of martyrdom, or of terrorist ideologies aiming for mass murder of others etc.

I like "A Whisper of Hate". It's seldom you see the word "whisper" in an action movie title, but whisper of love sounds too much like a romantic movie. A Whisper of Hate is unusual, but it has a sense of foreboding and threat.
A Whisper of Love, A Whisper of Hate--together, as Fleming wrote it--would make a terrific title. Also, I once heard--but I can't remember from where and I can't verify it--that at the time of his death Fleming was planning the Bond novel he'd write in 1965, which would be called The Enemy of My Enemy or My Enemy's Enemy. Either one wouldn't be bad. . .

It has a good ring to it, but is it too long? I belive A Whisper of Love, A Whisper of Hate would be perhaps the longest action movie title in history. And even with a comma? I quite like long Bond titles (TMWTGG, TWINE), but AWLAWH would be breaking new ground. My money (the little I have ) is on A Whisper of Hate.

No, that one was written by Kingsley Amis (using the pen name Robert Markham).

Sounds very cool to me.

… you mean you are sure Fleming would HAVE used it.
From would've, the contraction of would have
… would of makes no sense

I though the slightly lighter touch in Skyfall was a move in
the right direction.
1 - Moore, 2 - Dalton, 3 - Craig, 4 - Connery, 5 - Brosnan, 6 - Lazenby

007: The Movie ?
What about: Back in Action ?
for a theme song. :-)

Or combine it with The Property of a Lady:
Whispers of a Lady. The property of Whispers.
Whispers of love, Lady of hate. Whispers of Hate, Lady of Love.
Lady of whispers.
Mixed with 007 in New Yory: to get. 007 in a Lady.
....................... The List is endless !
So lond as it Doesn't have Death or Kill in the title, I'll be happy.
