In real life, the Biosphere or Mars Experiments (isolating people on the ground to simulate life in space), turns out to be managed by people with weird reputation. Members of Biosphere / Biosphere 2 have even been said to be member of a cult. So in order to have "gritty Bond" and "Bond in space" almost in the same movie, you can imagine a Biosphere experiment going evil thanks to some Drax like villain at the head of it. You can then picture Bond going through isolated and tiny spaces full of hi-tech, and still be, hm, "realistic". No lack of gravity though.
Would like the idea of Bond on the hunt while himself being hunted.

I'm all for this. As soon as it was obvious what Spectre's ending was, these were my first thoughts, let's have the cinematic showdown with Blofeld that we've always wanted.
SP changed my mind on the MI6 team dynamic. I was previously very sceptical, but I thought Mendes struck a great balance. Bond was clearly the driving force of the film with the others there as support. Q has suddenly become a different beast under Whishaw and I genuinely can't wait to see him reprise the role. Harris' chemistry with Bond was perfect and the scenarios in which they shared screen time were excellent. Tanner was undercooked again, but there are ways they can make better of use of him. As for Fiennes. He's just the ideal 'M'.

I've always thought the Dr Shatterhand's Garden of Death was one of the remaining Fleming nuggets that would make a good, if somewhat bizarre story line, so I'll add my voice to yours, guys.
However, I see no reason to eschew Japan, because the main reason why Fleming chose this location was down to the Samurai bushido honour code of committing seppuku (ritual suicide) when honour had not been fulfilled. As such, it's fitting that the Japanese setting should remain.
The Hildebrand Rarity
PTS: Blofeld Escapes Custody and Bond Saves Madeline from a Shark Attack
Title Sequence
Story: Bond is retired and Serving as a Security Specialist for a new UN Base thanks to his new friend Fidel Barbery (who serves as the Mathis/tanaka of the film) He Find out Blofeld has escaped but figured he has hidden his tracks so well that Blofeld won't find him. Of Course Spectre Agents do M Flies out and says let the new 007 Gala Brand (played by Charity Wakefield she is also the bond girl and gives a middle finger to the code name theory once and for all) Handle this. Bond of course being Bond says no and goes out to try and stop Blofeld. Blofeld Says no harm will come to Madeline as long as Bond does exactly what he says and steals a virus from the UN base called The Hildebrand Rarity.
ok I have hit a writers block But basically at the end Bond is 007 again Swann is dead and Gala becomes 006 setting bond 26 up to be basically the final;e between Bond and Blofeld.
Modernise it with Switzerland and it's laws on euthanasia. Japan would be a no no treading on YOLT toes. We don't need remakes but it's ok to borrow Fleming nuggets not yet on film
Okay, but similar locations have been used before in the Bond canon. Let's not forget that the use of Switzerland would, by the same criteria, tread on OHMSS' toes. Another thing is that Swiss culture is nowhere near as dramatically exotic as Japanese culture, especially in its apparent tolerance to ritual suicide (as opposed to medically assisted means). Apologies to any Swiss reading this, but the incidence of suicide in Switzerland by ritual means is practically zero.
I think the concept in YOLT of the garden of death and it's purpose would be too weak for a plot to a movie and hence why Dhal was asked to change it to a volcano layer. The idea of a madman just encouraging death 1 man at a time is a bit naff in itself. They could take the idea of the garden but for something more sinister such as enriching uranium in the bowels of the Rock in which the garden and castle sit upon. The plot would have to be something with a serious global consequence. Bond needs to be saving more than just a few people from suicide.
Yes, good idea. The trouble is it's been used before in Angels and Demons where antimatter created in the collider was used as a weapon to destroy the Vatican.
I wouldn't say the idea's comic book, but it is very Dan Brown.
I think this is a marvellous idea really. Sounds also a bit like an alternative experiment to the Angels of Death sequence...
Sadly, it has, although maybe "borrowing" this idea might be a good move if the sheer magnitude of an antimatter explosion weren't underplayed like it was in Angels and Demons.
The antithesis of the Garden of Eden.
Hybrid lethal plants when taken as prescribed have been claimed to cure cancer but toxic when easily overdosed.
People are dying though across Europe and now the UK with traces of these plants in their bloodstream.
....Ok I have no clue lol ...but a modern take on the Garden of Death could be interesting.
EoN is always trying to explore Bond's roots, so something along the lines of his Royal Navy past could be used...
DAD doesn't count. It never has.
Because I have turned it around (so you cannot see the spine) and banished it to the far bottom corner of my DVD rack.
I have, literally, nothing to counter that with. Common sense has prevailed :>
