Bond Plot Ideas

Apologies if there is already a similar thread.
I was chatting with a colleague of mine about the future of Bond films and the question about Quantum and SPECTRE came up. They came up with Quantum when they didn't have rights to SPECTRE, and didn't further the Quantum story at all in SF. Still, it is entirely possible that they'll bring Quantum back in future films and bring some closure to that story line a la YOLT, OHMSS, DAF.
I, for one, would prefer that they bring back SPECTRE and even Blofeld because, well, it's cool. So we got to discussing the problem of bringing SPECTRE back without leaving Quantum totally unresolved, and it occurred to me that they can do both.
People are really into origin stories these days, so why not a Blofeld origin story? The plot follows a young Blofeld (I like Paul Bettany for the role) as he rises through the ranks of Quantum, building up allies, rubbing up against other up-and-comers in Quantum, etc. This leads to Blofeld's ultimate plot, to stage a coup and destroy/take over Quantum from within, and form SPECTRE from Quantum's remains.
This would neatly tie up the Quantum story, lead us into a new era of SPECTRE, and fits in well withe the idea of a reboot series - villains need to be rebooted too, not just heroes!
So, anyway, I'd love to see that movie, and wanted to see what others thought. More entertaining for me and for the group, though, is hearing everyone else's ideas for villains, plots, entire film storylines, etc. Come one, come all!
