Will we know the 25th Bond film title when the end credits of "SPECTRE" roll?
What do you think? Is it possible? I have a distinct feeling that they could do this for the very first time since 1983's "Octopussy". I can even imagine a Marvel-esque (post) credits ending, that creates a lot of extra turmoil and gossiping on the social media and internet.

The End of Spectre
James bond will Return in
The Hildebrand Rarity.
but I doubt it will happen
I wouldn't mind SHATTERHAND as a title, as that would signify that maybe they're heading into Fleming's YOLT territory (and it would form a nice S trilogy with Skyfall and Spectre :) )
Well put @Birdleson
Bond is not Marvel. I don't want a teaser at the end. Also by adding the next films title at the end, kind of commits EON to much. As there are possibly three years before the next film. In the 60's, 70's and early 80's, they were churning out the films every other year. And the actors generally were more than likely going to return with the next film. If Spectre proves to be Craigs final Bond film, then by adding the follow up title commits EON to take that story path. For example, at the end of TSWLM, the next film was supposed to be FYEO. But then Cubby jumped on the Star Wars bandwagon and we got MR, with the three year gap between films, a lot can happen. Long story short, I don't think we'll get the title at the end.
Eon want everyone to be talking about this film, not giving opinions on whether or not they like the sound of the next one from the title.
I don't think it will happen though......but it might......as a one off this time only. I think it would be great marketing for B25
I agree. There was a logic to how it worked in the past, so it's not surprising it ended once they'd pretty much exhausted the most memorable Fleming titles.
There are too many variables that would stop this happening imo. Think of the buzz back on December 5th when they launched SP. We're the only franchise who set up a bespoke press conference on that level just to announce a title, it's pretty much become a key part of the Bond circus. I wouldn't want to lose that, personally.
Then there's the fact they could well shoot themselves in the foot. You may settle on what you think is a great title, but find that during script development it has become somewhat redundant, or just null and void, or you may just happen upon an even better one.
There is always talk about the future, whether that means early outlines, or a single page treatment, but the idea of deciding on a title before the current film hits would also not be something endorsed by the studio. For marketing purposes it would be disasterous to announce a title and then be bound by it, or worse still, have to change it.
Unless they have locked down the creative team and script of B25, I don't see what there is to gain from this. In fact, even if they had I still think they'd be blowing their load early.
Stick to the title launch, I say. No end credits scene either, just 'James Bond will return'.
(Next title, not topless Palin)
I was just thinking that by showing the title at the end of "SPECTRE" it would result in even more promotional free buzz for "SPECTRE".
But in hindsight it's quite ludicrous really. Because indeed, then you can't have these wonderful title launch press conferences / photo calls :-P.
I do think however, that we can expect a rather grim ending in "SPECTRE" though. Something that screams "Blofeld and S.P.E.C.T.R.E. will be back!"
Still think 25 will be a continuation of SP though.
The word SPECTRE is losing all meaning. While I do wish they would announce the title at the end, I doubt they will
Let's call Bond 25 "SPECTRE: Part II"
SPECTRE: Forever is Not Enough
:p
Funny :-P. But I always thought "The Hildebrand Rarity" is a magnificent title. Sounds very 'old 1950's English', thus can actually create a lot of gossip. "What the hell does THIS mean??".
If it wasn't already a Fleming title most fans would be bemused by it, never mind regular cinema goers. I'd rather they capture the essence of Fleming as opposed to using a title just for the sake of it.
I actually think it is a brilliant title. Old-fashioned and mysterious.
I like it, but I wouldn't want it used for the sake of shoehorning in a Fleming title. It works in the context of the book, but as you say it has an old-fashioned quality to it, where I feel the films should feel up to date. It feels like it's of its time. Something like Risico feels like it would work whatever the context, or whenever the time.
Of course I'd love to see it use providing they find the right context. I always saw the Hildebrand Rarity as a MacGuffen.
