No, Madeline has an affair with the hot indian yoga instructor named franz mc im not drno mc retard.
Yoga Only Live Twice
Taking my own ideas/hopes and what has been tossed around here from others I guess it will be something like this:
- Have to keep trademarks of the DC Bond era: Drama elements, great physicality, Continuity
- Elements of OHMSS (Bonds in a serious relationship, Vespers grave, tragic loss)
- Elements of (novel) MR (many great things in here: Card game, Rocket base, Gala Brand)
- Elements of YOLT (Blofeld in a hideout, possibly Garden Of Death in modernized form)
- Bring back Felix Leiter (definitely)
If I could set the story cornerstones based on the list above:
PTS:
- Continue from SP, Bond joined MI5 (so he is in the country with Madeleine and still it would make some sense given his background).
- Serious relationship with Madeleine, Bond helping M in the club (card game) where parts of the story unfold (mysterious character cheating the club).
- Club meeting aftermath (Henchman waiting for Bond in his Appartement?) [+ Action sequence]
Main Story:
- Bond gets a new assignment to investigate a case of connected stealings of sensitive material (weapon parts of any kind: a McGuffin, basically) and teams up with Gala Brand (of MI5, too)
- Investigations in some kind of UK-based institute where Bond meets Irma Bunt , technological lead there
- Connections to mysterious person at M's club unfolds when suddenly Bond is contacted by Felix Leiter because the CIA seems to be on a case connected to Bond's.
- Sudden "Accident" to Madeleine in her car (maybe have even Bunt be involved in the car accident appearing as just a tragic coincidence) - traces lead to mysterious person's company which is owner of the car involved in Madeleine's "accident" [+ Action sequence]
- Company gets bankrupt - officially due to the stealings
- M attends Madeleine's funeral and Bond learns that a bigger case unfolds and M recruits Bond back for MI-6
- Traces lead to Latin America where Felix and Bond meet Camille. CIA and local intelligence Camille is working for lead to some kind of factory/HQ where stolen material is collected and combined with stuff stolen elsewhere in the world, joining the traces Felix/CIA and Bond/MI5/MI6 were following [+ Action sequence] [This whole sequence can also play anywhere and a different character in place of Camille but I would like it, personally and yet more continuity from the DC 007 films]
- Global threat shows up (Let the authors be creative - maybe some kind of TB/YOLT (movie) mixture for the threat ?
- Threats lead to other country (Japan or somewhere else 007 has not been before)
- Bond finds sister company associated with UK-based company, finding Irma Bunt
- MI6 brings in Gala Brand because of her cover back in UK investigations to infiltrate sister company
- Bond learns about the shadowy owner of all companies being located in some kind of strange hideout (Garden Of Death comes into the play)
- Bond, Felix and Gala Brand on their tracks find information combined unfolds that origins of global threat lead to the hideout of company owner / Irma Bunt
- Bond breaks into hideout, uncovers commando for global threat lies there
- Classic Bond scenes of villain explaining plans, wants to kill the girl, big action sequence, Bond gets the girl
I would sincerely hope for something like that. I would keep all trademarks of the DC era (connection between movies, drama, hard-boiled action), base it on unused Fleming elements plus cornerstones of the beloved Bond-formula, still a real case. I would sprinkle in some aspects I personally would like to see, too which are some kind of underwater sequences plus exploring the actual locations a bit more.
EoN, just go home.
Bond shrugs and says "Just isn't my day,is it " and heads off back to MI6 .

P.S.: at the risk of insulting some of you, none of the ideas I have read had only a trace of originality in it and I really don't understand the urge to make a franchise that was known and loved in the past for his upbeat hero a permanent depressing affair.
There was also something "Cruella de Vi" about her so pretty easy to imagine her "on the dark side". Once Bond found this out, he would be angry at her and himself so you have the in built revenge as a plot line (plus the back story that he really did fancy her so we have the mutual sexual chemistry)
So getting her back as a Spectre agent is interesting IMHO
BUT we do have the small issue of the two guys that Bond shot in her house. Not sure how that works. Any ideas? Did Lucia sacrifice them (they were never going to shoot her) to give Bond the impression that she was a Spectre target?
Interesting idea @patb .
Lucia could kill Madeleine,she could be a modern day Irma Bundt,on the orders of Blofeld,from his prison cell perhaps.
Lucia would be trusted by Bond for sure,he could well let his guard down,now he is retiring.
I quite like that one !! Well done,matey.
She was also stupidly underused and some said she was too mature but not too mature to be a Spectre agent as she needs that maturity and gravitas to make a believable top Spectre agent.
It also fits in with the time line and IF she was responsible for killing Swann (we have the female jealousy /bitchiness coming in - this worked well with Fatima Blush) plus we also make use of the age difference as she is painfully aware that her beauty is fading (as is DC's so the passing of time can be a sublimial theme) and that Swann is younger and Bond's choice.
So you have the external motivation that she has been order to sort out Bond/Swann from Blofeld but you have the inner personal motivation already set up within the last movie.
The persistent negativity is certainly disconcerting. It's good to see there are a certain few here who very much hate SP, but are maintaining an air of optimism re. B25. I mean, why not?
I do question why some choose to frequent this board when it is abundantly clear they despise the current era, or at the very least the last five years, and see the future as unstoppably bleak.
Ironically the sense of depression they so desperately want to see eradicated from the series is the very same they pedal on here. Reading some of the comments you'd think the Craig era was some sort of Lars Von Trier nightmare.
Lighten up, people. We know nothing of story or tone yet.
TSWLM had a tone I think they could aspire to.
I don't really mind what they go for as long as it's thrilling. TSWLM fits that criteria, but films like OHMSS also do.
God, what a dumb website. Can't believe it's still going. Would have thought it would have closed when Craig proved just how much of a bloody good James Bond he was.
Everyone seems to be taking this 'leak' about the plot as verbatim. Even though it's just tabloid gossip.
It certainly could be true with regards to what direction the plot will take but it's hardly suprising from what we saw in SP.
But if it is an adaptation of YOLT then I think it could be something special. Especially if it's along the same lines as the Casino Royale adaptation.
What people are doing here is discussing their wishes for B25, which is quite different from that website.
Excellent idea @patb. I agree that she could very well be a villain. It would fit in with standard Bond operating procedure from the old days too.
I'm pretty sure all three will still happen if they go down the YOLT route though.
Madness....
I just can't believe EoN would be so sloppy as to let this leak. At least last time could be blamed on an aggressive hack. But this is a "leak"... I'm sure ppl who have seen the script had to sign confidentiality waivers... it's a dangerous risk to break that kind of agreement, and, I'm sure, only a few select ppl have had the pleasure of being able to read it, so the leaker wouldn't be hard to track down...
True,but that's not a dedicated website .
It is. It's called MI6 Community.
