Bond 25 - The Garden Of Death

Jarvio

I really want this to happen!

So do I

All those poisonous plants, fumaroles and piranha filled lakes

I hate unrealistic bio-terrorism plots. I hope that's not what you mean.

Blood Stone was a cheesy nightmare from that side of things.

If they adapt Blofelds Japanese Garden of Death for Bond 25, I doubt that will use that Name for the Title.

It will happen, and it will be spectacular. Bond 25 title flows better from SPECTRE as SHATTERHAND though.

I have the feeling that James Bond will be back in Japan.

-{ Japan has changed quite a bit since the 60's.

I'm watching YOLT right now - Watching all 23 in order to celebrate the Spectre announcement!

Japan has changed a lot since Fleming wrote YOLT, but the attitudes towards suicide are largely unchanged. There is a forest near Mount Fuji where about 100 Japanese go to end their lives each year much like the garden of death.

No more Japan for Bond since 1967, right? It's about time.

It's funny you say this Jarvio, I'm not sure if it's part of being a Bond fan, but I too have been aching for the last couple of weeks to rewatch them all in order. I am actually trying to find a friend or somebody intrested enough to watch them all with me. Somehow it can be very refreshing and a lot of fun to watch the films you've watched countless times and each know back to back with someone who's new to them. I did this in 2011 with a friend who wasn't into Bond that much at all, but I have the most fond memories of those nights. He moved away and lives to far away now unfortunatly. My girlfriend is 'kind' of into it, and she would be willing to do it.

To go on topic here: I am making my way through the Fleming novels (also in order :P) but I haven't read You Only Live Twice yet. I do know the garden of death is in that novell from what I gathered. I'm not sure how it would work for Bond 25, I wasn't a large fan of Blofelds plan in OHMSS either... I never really understood how destroying Pizz Gloria stopped Blofeld's plan from happening. Couldn't he just set up a new command centre somewhere else and continue the whole plan with the beautiful hypnotised women? ?:)
- Anyway I will make sure I make my way through the Fleming novels as well, so that I know better what I'm talking about.

Well if you want to be a total Bond geek he was technically there for a brief minute in the PTS of DAF.

Raymond Benson "The Man With The Red Tattoo" (2001) takes 007 to Japan again.

And from reading that book. I wish he hadn't bothered ! )

Theres a Shrine in Japan dedicated to that Novel -{

SKYFALL - SPECTRE - SHATTERHAND

If they do go for the back to back filming then it's a good guess that SPECTRE will finish on a dark note and Craig's final bow will be something special.

I'd hate 3 S-one word titles in a row. It'd drive my OCD crazy.
