Was this after an interesting experience they shared together in Tokyo by any chance?
Great premise for a future Bond film... perhaps not an official EON production though.
Time Period: Early 2000's
Plot: The Now Retired MI6 Secret Agent James Bond Will Have To Come Back To Field One Last Time After MI6 Gets Attacked By An Unknown Individual, Sooner Than Later, Bond Realizes That The Situation Isn't Just A Terrorist Attack, But It's Instead A Sign, A Sign That He'll Have To, Once Again, Fight Against Who He Thought He Destroyed Years Ago, S.P.E.C.T.R.E....
Just a what if: since they're all in one arc, would it make sense if all of his villains (except Elektra) were just in one organization like in the books or in the early films?
They're a part of an organization or a syndicate, now Bond has to defeat them one by one, except for its leader.
Alec Trevelyan being some sort of Dr. No or Le Chiffre (the first member of the organization being killed by Bond).
Then, Elliot Carver (similar to Largo of SPECTRE or Mr. BIG of SMERSH) also a member of an evil organization, the second member to be beaten by Bond.
Elektra King would still be a standalone villain, except for Renard (he's also a member of this organization, but a bit lower, like Fiona Volpe).
Then, have Bond Gustav Graves (the Organization's Rosa Klebb like member, he's certainly the number 2, the second to the leader of the Organization).
Then, of course the leader would never be encountered by Bond and not be seen like General G in the books (being the head of SMERSH, but Bond never encountered him).
Year: 1991
Plot:
James Bond Is Arrested And Put On Trial By The MI6 Under The Charges Of Betraying Her Majesty's Secret Service By Going Rogue And Killing Without A Licence By Assasinating Franz Sánchez.
In The While, Raúl Fernando Sánchez, Father Of Franz, Sends Their Men To Find And Kill The Man Who Killed His Son After He Is Informed Of His Death.
I like this. Played by Jack Palance, perhaps?
Hmmmm.....Nice Choice....
Plot:
I had this idea when reading "Superman: Red Son", it's basically a "What if James Bond worked on the enemy side?", i don't really have a concrete plot idea for it, but i thought it would be an interesting reomagining of the "Classic Bond" era.
Plot: Lyutsifer Stromdrax, a former KGB agent turned mad industrialist who has metal teeth, a facial scar and webbed hands, and who is part of a secret criminal organization, plans to launch a deadly nanobot attack on Earth from his secret space station, obliterating the human race. He kidnaps James Bond, presumably retired from active duty, along with his wife Tracesperine, to force them to have a child that will mark the beginning of a new, physically and intellectually perfect breed of humans, which will repopulate Earth. What Stromdrax ignores is that Bond was already aware of his plan, and has been secretly reinstated into MI6, despite tension between him and M. He is later forced to go rogue when he disagrees with MI6's strategy to stop Stromdrax and his nefarious plan, and ends up blowing up the space station, along with Stromdrax and himself, in a noble sacrifice for the sake of humankind.
Name: The Stromdrax Rarity, or Yes, Time to Die.
Year: 1975
James Bond: Roger Moore
Felix Leiter: Tony Curtis
M: Laurence Naismith
Moneypenny: Lois Maxwell
Q: Desmond Llewellyn
Main Bond Girl:
Cyd Hayman (she appeared in Anyone Can Play episode 8)
Prunella Ransome (appeared in Ozerov Inheritance episode 22)
Bond Girl (Villainess):
Imogen Hassall (appeared in Overture episode 1)
Main Villain: James Mason (head of SMERSH)
Plot:
Bond would team up with Felix Leiter (played by Tony Curtis) in this mission, SMERSH was manipulating seven countries to come in a territorial dispute, since one of the UNCLOS Judge who's in charge with the case was killed by a SMERSH* agent, (played by Imogen Hassall), in order to mess up with the case.
Now what SMERSH wanted was to create a rivalry between those seven countries that would led to a war, with SMERSH benefitting from it since they could smuggle and sell weapons to these countries and would earn them big money, and at the end would use that money to build their own army and when the war is over, SMERSH would beat the seven countries for the reclamation of the disputed territory.
Tennyson and Tennisin'
- Make Bond charismatic and stylish as Connery, and when needed, brute and ruthless as Dalton.
- More grounded stories that don't rely much on action and take more advantage on the suspense ala From Russia With Love.
- Grounded and realistic gadgets like the From Russia With Love briefcase.
- Leave the AM DB5 behind, as much at it hurts to do so.
- More organic relationships between Bond and the Bond girl ala The Living Daylights.
- No more personal backstories.
- There still is continuity between films, abeit more loose.
It's stuff like this which makes me unafraid of the idea that AI will rise up anytime soon... at the very least they've not quite cracked the art of outlines/scriptwriting (for now, advanced as it is).
I like that. Bond being on his own from the onset is a neat little twist on the usual Bond formula, and I'd want to know what happens.
I'm not sure if this is quite a film idea yet, feels more like a short story, but I think this is pretty fantastic. Not only does it set up obstacles galore, but it has a neat twist.
It may not be a fully realized film idea, but what's here is excellent and could be developed.
That's the second idea I've read of Crabkey's that are not only very strong concepts, but theyre two of the best out of the many I've read on here.
Really nice work.
@crabkey you've packed a lot of great things into the idea. It's simply constructed on the surface, but slyly presents a lot of problems for Bond (no technology, weapons or ways of communication; on an island, so he's isolated... And then of course a twist that feels very Fleming).
A good rule for drama, writing, but especially in film, is to never be easy on your protagonist (Fleming was a Master with this),, and this concept opens up many potential obstacles for Bond to overcome.
I really am impressed
What do you say?
May I step and further mix-match-and-both ? Bond - rather than the villain - gets away from the space station in a pod-with-a-nod, which is to say, resembling Blofeld's escape pod in DAF (let's fact, in DAF, in that pod Blofeld got shaken up, not killed, but Bond cannot be bothered to retrieve the thing and apprehend or kill Blofeld). So Bond, in THIS pod, does escape. Maybe even have a Moment, with Bond-in-pod looking through his window and matching eyes with Stromdrax, standing at a window, looking out and seeing Bond before boom-goes-the-station. That MOMENT, btw, would be a mx-match-both from TWINE when The-Man-Who-Felt-No-Pain and Bond were close together at buh-bye time.
Select a PTS, early sequences (meeting with M ? One where the opening does NOT go that way), villain plan, Bond foils it (eg. just Bond ? just Bond (a la DN, FRWL, LALD, TMWTGG, etc) or Bond with lady lead (TB at the post-Battle ending) vs the Villain, Bond brings an army a la GF, TB, YOLT, OHMSS, DAF, last minute threat and the very end Bond-with-lady-lead. This could have more components. Might even list them from the 25+2 films, and the commenters select and write and say,
this one from column a (PTS)
that one from column B
etc, all the way through.
For each component, the selected sequence to plug into this Frankensteinian mish-mash gets identified and briefly described, and for each component the film from which it comes gets name
Choose your Bond Actor
Choose a leading lady and other additional characters
Choose a Villain
Chose a Villain-plan
and mix them
For example:
Moonraker, with Pierce Brosnan, with Odd Job not Jaws, with Dr. No not Drax, with Raquel Welch from the 1960s (yup, breaking my own rules and bending time), Garbage on the theme and with toned down humor, more like FRWL
