Synopsis: Bond's capabilities are questioned when a mission gets out of hand. EU trading relations are increasingly tense. 007 must track down the root of the cause before coalitions break and a war begins.
Description: Bond (Craig) is pursuing a rogue french agent (Gaudette), when the suspect is suddenly killed by an unknown sniper. The sniper escapes before Bond can track them down. An explosion goes off before 007's eyes, destroying a large trading port in Greece.
007 returns to London, to the displeasure and dejection of M (Fiennes). Tanner (Kinnear) sides with Bond, and illegally obtains information on possible suspects. This leads bond to Cuba, where he meets Giselle Des Marie (Cotillard), a french DGSE agent. Marie leads Bond to a couple dead ends in their investigation.
Uncertain about Marie's legitimacy, Bond messages MI6 to look into her profile. He further investigates on his own at a Cuban casino, where he meets Evelynn (Strahovski), an Australian agent. Evelynn gains Bond's trust, and immediately points Bond to root of the havoc, Victor Flynn (Cumberbatch). As Bond is about to make his move, Evelynn captures Bond and kills Marie. Bond is named the murderer for Marie's death, and M issues an execution warrant to all MI6 agents.
Bond wakes up in a cold, abandoned WWII bunker in the mountains of Canada. Flynn tortures Bond with ice and fire, and explains his plan to destroy all major ports around the world; causing a global recession, and potentially, war. Flynn leaves Bond with Evelynn, as he begins his attack on the trading Canadian ports for North America and Asia.
Bond escapes, killing Evelynn, in pursuit of Flynn. MI6 is in pursuit of Bond. Bond must use wit and skill to track down Victor Flynn in time to stop a global crisis.
I like this alot!
He has a henchman who has an artificial right hand (Austin Powers' Robert Wagner's character ripped me off!). @-)
Stormkeeper had a mistress named Nina whom Bond naturally seduces. But she didn't became the sacrificial lamb, that goes to his personal pilot, Lila, a Naomi-type ripoff. ;)
The main Bond girl was some dimwitted fellow agent named Grayson LeVine (named her after actress Grayson Hall), kind of a redheaded Mary Goodnight. I had Rebecca Holden of Knight Rider in mind when visualizing her. :-O
The ironic part is that for the most part, the story didn't concentrate much on the satellite.....it became a soap opera thingy as Nina wants Bond to kill Stormkeeper because he murdered her parents, and later, Bond and Grayson spend most of the time running away from Stormkeeper's henchmen from one place to another.
Oh, yeah, Lila got blown up in a helicopter, Naomi-style! =D>

Plot:
Profile For A Killer - After Bond's mission in which he must assassinate a rising dictator in Eastern Europe is thwarted, signs point to sabotage from within MI6. He suspects the newly promoted 004 of working for the Eastern European dictator's terror team. After killing 004 while on a follow up mission, Bond becomes aware of the extent of the infiltration and is forced to flee to the French Riviera. He is forced to adjust to a simpler lifestyle while Q and Moneypenny investigate from within MI6. Bond teams with French secret service agent (Marrion Cotillard). They are soon discovered and are chased into Monaco where Bond confronts several mercenaries. On the other end M, Q, and Moneypenny manage to remove MI6 of suspicious individuals and hire many new employees to replace those persecuted. Believing he is safe, Bond is able to return to the UK and MI6.
Kiss From A Lover - Since returning, Bond has been requesting joint operations with French intelligence to remain close to (Marrion Cotillard). However, while sleeping they are compromised and (Cotillard) is tortured extensively launching Bond into fury. They manage to escape but (Cotillard) spends many months in recovery and Bond is required to see a psychologist do to the rage that caused him to act irrationally and outside of MI6 protocol. The psychologist prescribes pills to calm Bond's mind. Bond continues to work for MI6 during this time, investigating the mercenaries from earlier. A connection to a terrorist group on the Indian coast that has been developing chemical warheads is uncovered. Bond heads to Delhi, acting undercover while spying on a related company, AGNI. When talking with (McAvoy) Bond feels sick and his cover is blown, he is forced to blast his way from the building. He tells his psychologist about his symptoms and how he wishes to stop taking the pills. However, he is asked to continue, being told the symptoms will end with time. Bond returns to the Indian coast but this time investigates an AGNI factory near the Pakistani border. He discovers chemical warheads there and also runs into recently recovered (Cotillard) who is investigating a drug and chemical corporation suspected of foul play which led her to the same factory. They attempt to flee but are caught and brought to (McAvoy). (McAvoy) reveals a deep understanding of Bond's mental state when he presents both the chemical warheads bound for several major cities as well as (Cotillard) who will face a slow painful death. Bond must choose between his country and his love. However, being Bond, he manages to free (Cotillard) and disable many of the warheads. But he fails to disable the last warhead, as time was lost in saving (Cotillard), and the missile kills roughly 50 people. While being taken into custody, (McAvoy) escapes for a moments and shoots (Cotillard) dead, proving to Bond that he must choose between love and duty, or he will end up destroying both. Bond is traumatized by the entire event and his dosage is increased by the psychologist and he takes some time off from MI6 to recover. Bond visits (McAvoy) who manages to get under the intoxicated Bond's skin and convince him that he will never escape the conflict of love and duty. Meanwhile, M reads through the French intelligence file (Cotillard) had been assigned and discovers that AGNI is a father company to the drug and chemical corporation (Cotillard) had originally investigated. He also realizes that the same corporation supplies MI6 with all of their medical supplies and drugs. M goes to (McAvoy) and questions him about the relation, (McAvoy) reveals that he knows about Bond's condition because the psychologist (appointed after the removal of suspicious individuals in the last story) is actually working for AGNI and has been giving Bond drugs to increase paranoia, depression, etc. He also reveals Bond's recent visit and M rushes to Bond's apartment fearing the worse. However, when he comes in, he finds the home a wreck and the balcony door ajar. Assuming the worst, M turns around to leave but instead finds Bond standing behind him, ready to pursue the rest of AGNI. Bond tortures the psychologist in his home, hoping to extract information about other associates of AGNI. Bond elicits three words from the dying psychologist... Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
Identity Of A Man - Bond is requested to oversee the transportation of a world leader through the alps aboard a train. Many suspicious deaths have occurred recently and this specific leader is the next suspected target. (Fassbender) infiltrates the train and pursues Bond and the leader. Leiter (also present) battles (Fassbender) but is unable to hold him back and the leader is assassinated just as Bond attempts to escape with him. (Fassbender) flees the train. Bond spends the story chasing (Fassbender) and attempting to prevent further assassinations and involvements in world trade. All the while he is uncovering information about (Fassbender's) employers (the associates of AGNI) who belong to a higher group which shapes world politics and economics through sheer force. Within the group, Blofeld, attempts to work his way to the top in order to see to his needs rather than the boards. By the time Bond catches up with the group, Blofeld is number one and the group has taken on a new form, SPECTRE. Bond will spend the rest of his career trying to stop Blofeld's malicious plans and agents (like Fassbender).
This makes for leading up to all previous films involving Blofeld (From Russia With Love, Thunderball, OHMSS, etc.).
Thanks, I appreciate any input. I'm in a film group and we've been planning to write full scripts for these films, I'll let you know how it goes.

Story: A Chinese industrialist is developing a wonder vaccine for Britain at his medical facility in Japan. When the facility’s head of security commits suicide over being rejected romantically by Secret Service officer Gala Brand, M assigns Bond to replace the head of security. However, Bond and Brand suspect the mysterious industrialist of foul play, and what they discover goes way beyond one suicide: an international cult obsessed with understanding the afterlife and a plot to control the world’s pharmaceutical industry. Adapts the bridge game from Fleming's Moonraker, the garden of death from You Only Live Twice and the squid fight from Dr No.
Here's the instrumental version of "Who's to Blame" from the intro titles of Death Wish 2, I think it's a nice tune.

007/Timothy Dalton

Holly- Lin( bond girl, dies in middle of film)/ Jamie Lee Curtis
bond bad guy/ John Hurt
MoneyPenny/ Caroline Bliss
M/ Robert Brown
Felix Leiter/David Hedison
Plot
After 007's date (Jamie Lee Curtis) got killed, 007 hunts the killer down with Erika, (Carrie fisher) they met because she's the witness of the murder.
A brutal former Warsaw Pact dictator (somebody like Nicolae Ceausescu from Romania) has been a fugitive of international justice since the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe. He reemerges, claiming to have kidnapped a young European royal (a beautiful girl of course) and is demanding amnesty (and probably money and stuff) from INTERPOL in exchange for her safe release.
007 is of course sent on the case. He seduces the villain's mistress/wife to find out the location of his lair where he's holding the girl, and that's where the fun begins. I might have to add another obstacle, since I tend to not like "lair oriented" Bond films where he movie is just Bond crawling through dark hallways at a villain's lair. We can always put the mistress in an exotic location and have an action sequence there, but I'd like for him to go somewhere else before arriving at the lair. Anyway, the girl is an ingenue (in the vein of an early Audrey Hepburn role or Kara from TLD for a Bond example) but she'll be somewhat plucky and have laid plans for her own escape before Bond arrives that will be helpful later in the movie (perhaps having constructed a homemade gadget that Bond uses to kill a bad guy at the end or something). This will be another "true love" for Bond and he will fall head over heels for her but in a somewhat more paternal/protective way that is different than his other serious relationships.
After that a series of plot twists will emerge. The girl has a brother who either has a protective older brother with high ranking government position due to his title or who is a disaffected trouble-making royal who became a master hacker. The villain will have made a separate ransom offer to him: his sister in exchange for nuclear codes (if he works for a government he would have to be British, and I'm not sure what rules they have about titled people in the government, if he was a hacker it could be anywhere). He then reveals to Bond (presumably right before he's going to kill him) that his plan is to use his new-found nuclear access to build a new hardcore Stalinist Worker's State in Europe. He is then shot from off camera, and it is revealed that he was working for Spectre ( that explains his lair and whatever other technology he uses in the movie) and is too ideological to be of use any longer. A classic non-Blofeld Spectre villain (Dr. No, Red Grant, Largo, even Rosa Klebb) takes over in the final act as Spectre tries to hold the world for ransom as in TB. Of course, Bond and the girl escape certain death at the end of the second act and have a cathartic love scene before figuring out exactly where they need to go to beat the ticking clock to shut down the nukes and save the world. However, the Bond Girl dies in the climax (preferably going out in a blaze of glory to sacrifice herself to save Bond or stop Spectre) and the villain escapes.
The head man at Spectre is of course not pleased with his underling's failure. In the second to last scene of the movie, we see Blofeld sitting in shadow as in the early movies, as the Spectre villain is theatrically killed as punishment for his failure. In the final scene Bond picks up some kind of clue as to Blofeld's identity/whereabouts, and sets off to avenge his dead lover, setting up the Blofeld revenge movie we never got after OHMSS.
I always like PTS's that are non-connected to the main plot and somewhat simple, just focusing on Bond being cool. So I'd just do Bond in a casino or something where he wins at cards, easily dispatches some bad guys, gets a girl, and then says something cool as it cuts to the title sequence. For the action scenes, I could see him having to dispatch a body guard in a Red Grant/Hinx style fight before meeting the mistress, and then maybe them getting in a boat or car chase or something. There could be another fistfight when Bond arrives at the lair, and the escape after the big reveal would likely have to involve a big gun battle. For the finale, a gunfight in a room with nuclear reactors always works for suspense, or Bond could be in another "boss fight" fist fight while the girl tries to find the right lever to pull/cord to cut.
This story would be ideal for a new Bond, so I won't pick any of the other ones. The girl should also be a fresh face. The dictator villain would need to be pretty old, so Malcolm McDowell or Patrick Stewart could work since I'd like to see either of them play Bond villains. Not sure who I'd cast as any of the classic Bond villains.
Not going to claim this is better than Spectre as a way to reintroduce Blofeld, the second act isn't worked out and a few things don't make sense (why does Spectre even need the dictator dude?) but those things could be fixed with work. Could have been an interesting idea.

Plot Summary
A series of defunct number stations begin to broadcast mysterious and eerie coded messages as powerful industrial and political figures are mysteriously murdered or missing. As the attacks progress, the targets begin to close in on the Western Intelligence Community and UK/US intelligence operatives including MI6s own become the latest victims, with the global intelligence community reeling to anticipate and thwart the attacks.
M assigns Bond to investigate the murderous events but as Bond prepares to re-enter active duty for the first time after experiencing the loss of his wife Tracy; his boredom, substance abuse, and high risk behaviours result in Bond being critically injured in a reckless driving incident during a torrential downpour, which sidelines him from the assignment and forces Bond to rehabilitate himself physically and mentally at Shrublands while 003 is sent in his place. 003 is nearly killed shortly after being dispatched to investigate the attacks and returns home severely injured and paralyzed.
Both recovering at Shrublands, 003 passes on a lead to Bond regarding an elusive contract assassin known as Fransisco Scaramanga who may be connected to the recent attacks. Skeptical of his ability to function reliably as an operative, M gives Bond one final opportunity to redeem himself by sending him to find Scaramanga with the assistance of Gala Brand, a former intelligence communications analyst who retired to civilian life nearly a decade ago after failing to intercept a fatal terrorist attack.
She’s now a wife and mother with everything

Determined to finish the job 003 started, the two embark on a treacherous journey spanning across London, Singapore, Croatia, and Columbia to uncover the motives of the elusive Scaramanga and the targeted attacks hell bent on destabilizing the current world order. The deeper Bond delves into the assignment the less clear it becomes, is he an agent of good? Or is he just another pawn in a the eternal battle for global supremacy and control?
