    Bond goes into space, again.

    Apparently it nearly happened under Danny Boyle...

    Oh, good grief...

    That's according to new information that has leaked out recently. I love Moonraker but once was enough for that sort of thing. Bond in space is much more suited to the Moore era than to the Craig era.

    @Dragonpol Don't you think Bond in space could still work? I think it depends on how it's written or directed though.

    Yeah I entirely agree with that; I'd need to see what was actually planned before saying it's a bad idea.

    Exactly.

    Well, maybe I was a bit harsh in dismissing the idea of Bond in space again out of hand. I just felt it didn't sound like something that would quite work for the Craig era. However, I suppose it would all come down to the writing, casting, direction and execution. I like that Moonraker is set apart from the other Bond films by being "the one where Bond goes into space" and maybe that uniqueness would be lost if it was repeated. No doubt that is a slightly silly opinion to have though in the context of Bond films where themes and locations are repeated frequently, for example the links between YOLT, TSWLM and MR or the overuse of Italy as a location in the Craig Bond films.

    A fun Bond-esque title I hadn't come across before (on tonight on Talking Pictures)

    Have A Nice Death.

    This was a Tales of the Unexpected episode title from Season 7 (1984). It has a nice Fleming/Gardner ring to it, doing that thing of taking an existing phrase and adapting it slightly to make it more sinister. It's of course a play on the banal "Have a nice day" beloved of American shop assistants.

    I absolutely love the title. I've always thought Christopher Plummer was always Bond material.

    Nice twist of a title.

    MI6 battles with Massive Counterintelligence and Longterm Operations Round Yearlong (M.C.L.O.R.Y), who want Bond to join them.

    Another subtitle use with Operation Ruthless after Operation Ruthless: Save Our Souls (aka Operation Ruthless: S.O.S):

    Operation Ruthless: Distant From Home

    Day of the Dragonpol.

    Never Send Flowers has some elements in common with Frederick Forsyth's The Day of the Jackal (Princess Diana and President Charles de Gaulle are similar high-profile assassination targets for one example).

    It's what Man With The Golden Gun film should have been really. It's kind of mad that it wasn't about an assassination.

    Forever Hold Your Peace

    The plot would involve a wedding somehow.

    EDIT: Don't anybody suggest "Forever Hold Your Piece"

    They could just continue outdoing the previous Bond film's running length and call it Forever Hold Your Pee.

    I do really like that one, but the MWTGG line does undermine it quite a lot! :D
