It should have been called "Cats in the cradle".
On a serious note, I think Craig's fifth will be more bleak in tone than any of Craig's films to date.
Once Craig quits, we'll get a fun larger than life formula entry than completely throws out the naval gazing of the Craig films. That'll come with the 60th anniversary, and it'll be a true celebration of the character in all his glory.
I doubt we'll see The Hildebrand Rarity, and definitely not for the film after Spectre.
Also, Bond may have been somewhat of a left of the center in the books, but the screen Bond pre-Craig showed more conservatism than any other character managed to do. The literary Bond wasn't patriotic and was described as somewhat being cowardly, whereas the screen Bond (even Craig) was always patriotic and held Britain above all else while encouraging worldwide international equality and fought for world peace.
Agreed,that is 100% a better title,shame they didn't go with it,and bowed to pressure from US viewers etc.
Looking at his other work he’s not the man who will bring back the style and classy nature of Bond. If anything it will be more working class than before.
Hope he can prove me wrong.

And what if they don't like it? Ring Demange up and start filming the next week?
But, if they are planning on a 2019 release they have to go with someone, right? I mean, if they get this script from Hodge and don't like it, then that's Boyle out of the window, unless they are prepared to go without whatever Boyle and Hodge deliver just to keep Dan happy. If not, they need someone else ready to go pretty quickly, and if not Demange then there's only a few names that they could go to.
I remember Roger Mitchell was offered Quantum but refused on such a short schedule. I'd imagine the type of talent Craig is interested in working with would all need more time than is available now (about 10 months before shooting), so what happens if (supposed) talks with Boyle break down? From the information we have it sounds like they are sailing awfully close to the wind on this one.
Also, there will never be a Bond film named 007 in New York. If they ever do, I will pull a Panchito.
RE: sailing close to the wind: that seems to be an EON approach since forever. Sometimes I wonder, if not for the money, why any actor or director in his right mind would take the gig.
Haha, yes.
I always preferred Licence Revoked as well. Considering this was the first Eon Bond with a made up title, Licence To Kill ended up sounding cliched in a Bond film which was anything but cliched.
In addition the Bob peak artwork posters for Licence Revoked I thought were far superior to what was the end result.
The Property of A Lady is still my favorite title of the remaining short stories. When B22 was announced as Quantum of Solace, I was thrilled because it lead me to feel the Craig era just might be a true return to Fleming using the remaining titles for his era.
Oh well. Perhaps one day?
I see. Could the rumoured "competing" script by Boyle/Hodge mean that Purvis and Wade haven't come up with a story EON see fit to produce?
LOVE IT!
