That would make sense!
Would rather it was Mackenzie, but Demange will be interesting!
Oh and I'm ok with 'Shatterhand', better than SKYFALL, which I've always disliked!
How long does promotional duties go on for, really?
STAVRO
SUPERNOVA
SUNCHILD
SOLARIS
SATURN
SEVENTH SON
SUN TSU
SPYKILLER
SORDID SOD
Why is having another title that starts with an "S" an issue?
It is a bit off-putting. Still, I would accept this title for Bond 25 over many other potential choices. Sadly, we are probably a long ways off from any official title announcement - likely no earlier than December.
Shatterhand To Kill
Marked For Shatterhand
On Deadly Shatterhand
Shatterhand Down Below
The Shatterhand Man
...etc.
Wilson opened the Skyfall press conference saying he'd "like to confirm the worst kept secret in London, the title of the film..." so I wouldn't count it out just yet.
Thanks. If he does get the gig, I wonder when it's best to announce it. Might give a boost for the promotional tour if it's announced early.
Skyfall, Spectre, Shatterhand. @Birdleson and @FoxRox shares my view on the matter:
For example:
SEEK OUT DR. NO
SINCERELY, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
SIR GOLDFINGER
SAFETY MANAGEMENT: THUNDERBALL
SO, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE
SECRET SERVICE
SPECIAL DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER
SAY LIVE AND LET DIE
And so on...
Hahaha, brilliant! :))
Don't need to call the song the same as the film title, though. Nobody Does It Better the prime example.
But I do like it. Always did. Now if only they could keep the Japan locations and the general story from YOLT...
"James Bond will travel to Croatia in the 25th instalment of the 007 franchise.
The film has the working title Shatterhand and the plot sees Daniel Craig's spy battle a blind supervillain.
Scriptwriters are believed to be basing parts of the plot on the 1999 thriller Never Dream Of Dying by US author Raymond Benson, who also wrote Bond books Tomorrow Never Dies, Die Another Day and The World is Not Enough.
The novel opens with a police raid on a French movie studio that goes badly wrong, while an actress with a sordid past leads Bond to his final target.
A source said: "Bond scriptwriters feel it could be the perfect follow-up to Spectre. They are hoping to film in Croatia next year."
The insider said producers had been furious when a local mayor revealed they had been scouting for locations in the coastal tourist hotspot of Dubrovnik."
"Hi, two tickets for Shatterhand, please!"
Forget it!
Again, why is having another title that starts with "S" an issue? Sounds more nitpicky. SHATTERHAND I think makes a good title.
However, assuming the P&W uses a lot of the unused elements of YOLT, "The Garden of Death" would make a nice title too. It doesn't sound "actiony", but so many Fleming titles never did anyway.
Even though I'm not crazy about that title either, that's taking it a bit far just over a title, isn't it?
I would probably not bother going to the theatre if Mendes was announced to direct, though.
You have a point on the title sounding a bit comical though. I doubt this is what we'll get so I'm not bothered.
I doubt it. Anyone posting on a James Bond website is seeing Shatterhand on opening day--or weekend at the outside. :)
I like Shatterhand as a title more than Skyfall or Spectre. The extra syllable helps. You gotta give Dame Bassey something to work with...
You, sir, are hilarious. Not kidding, I laughed. A lot :)
So, Goldfinger sounds like a proper Bond title to you? Or too much like a French nail polisher? ;)
