What will future Bond films be called?
What will be the titles of the next/future Bond films e.g. Bond 24,25 etc
Titles have often come initially from the titles of Fleming's works, tenuously lifted from Fleming's life, adapted from some of the concepts used in some of Fleming's works - or will the future Bond films start to take more and more inspiration from the posthumous Fleming works, written by other writers but under the Bond banner? Or will the scriptwriters take only very tenuous inspiration from Fleming's novels and create something seemingly original as they have with Skyfall?
So offer up some speculative and prospective titles - and explain why you've come up with these titles, or even what the Bond movie of that name would be like content-wise.
So I will start with a few;
Risico - Loosely taking some of the elements of the short story.
Devil May Care - Taking only the title and maybe the idea of Scarlett Papava and some structural elements - I maybe would try and mix this with maybe the concepts presented by Licence Renewed - have Murik as a bad guy.
Mad Dogs - Just in name - ironically taken from Noel Coward's ditty Mad Dogs and Englishmen?
Blood Stone - Taken from the game of the same name

But seriously, Property of a Lady & Risico have to be used pretty soon
Personally I've never felt that 'Property of a Lady' would ever be used. Aside from the fact it's referenced in Octopussy (albeit minimal) I think it's a tad wet as Bond title. I can't imagine people getting excited about it. Risico on the other hand is a belter.
Other than that, I feel like we'll get either original titles, or something spun out of a Fleming passage or a chapter title like... Blood and Thunder, Zero Minus, Dead Reckoning, Gambit of Shame, Hell's Delight, Death Collector, The Eye that never sleeps etc.
Death Collector is good too..
Mabey there should consider Tomorrow Never Lies. This time Tomorrow isn't a paper but how we going to life and act (a bit like what i also mean with Eyes Set To Kill) tomorrow (means Today!) in the legacy of historie.
I do like the sound of ShatterHand, now that someone mentioned it!
That would really confuse people. Is the world ready for a YOLT/DAD or LALD/TND mashup? /:)
Risico would make for a great follow up to Skyfall. Both one words titles, like another actor's third and fourth films.
Do we really have to start a thread again on what the next one should be called (the last one was already pointless)? SF has not even started yet and in the end EON will invent a new title anyway.
It was a joke from Saturday Night Live.
To be honest, I think that sounds terrible and like QOS, it would be used just for the sake of it because it's a Fleming title.
I think Risico is the best.
I don't know why but I pictured it as maybe a genetic mutation the villain could have. Like the 'Hildebrand disorder' and it's rare, and because it caused the villains angst, the film is called 'The Hildebrand Rarity'.
Dunno but that's the first scenario I though of.
It does mean 'battle sword' as a Germanic word, so it could be a weapon.
I think it'd b just using a Fleming title for the sake of it.
'Thunderball'
'Live and Let Die'
'For Your Eyes Only'
'A View to A Kill'
They all used the titles for the sake of it, and all the rest usually just ended up being a person's name. I don't see an issue.
Much like QoS.
On a side (but somewhat similar) note, do any of you remember reading around 1996 that the title of the film that eventually became TND, was originally called Avatar? I read that in a newspaper at the time, and didn't know what to make of it. Obviously, it's humorous with the benefit of hindsight, but at the time I thought it might perhaps be the name of the villain.
Exactly. I think just because it's a Fleming title, it doesn't make it good. I think almost all the non Fleming titles are better than QOS.
The difference is, those sound good, unlike the Hildebrand Rarity and QOS.
Not at all. For Your Eyes only is actually stamped on espionage files, and Thunderball was the name of the operation in THUNDERBALL. :-B
Risico and Property of A Lady are givens. My suggestion is a bit odd, but it's the best I've got so far.
Garde Bien.
(French for Look Well)
This is the family motto for the Montgomery Clan, from the family crest. The plot could involve some old WWII documents that fell into the wrong hands, and are still valid (modern day). Obviously, Montgomery would have had his hands on these plans during the war. Once retrieved, the plot could start with an attempt to attack MI6, or even British Parliament (although that wouldn't be as cool).
Interestingly, the Montgomery clan has a woman holding in her hand, a man's head (decapitated). Perhaps the theme could be based off the Garde Bien name, but called Property of A Lady. Maybe the villain is female.
The other advantage to the french name, is Garde sounds fairly similar to Guard. So Bond could be defending England. (Although we're seeing that in Skyfall.)
It's not the greatest name, but I think it's pretty entertaining to think about possible names.
