There's only a few Fleming chapter titles I could see them using, the most being, "The Death Collector" (John's Logan's choice for Spectre) or "Blood and Thunder" which are both from YOLT funnily enough
Yeah good call, that's a great idea
Except there's already is "What's up, Tiger Lilly?" the first directorial effort by Woody Allen.
It's actually based on footage from a 1965 Japanese James Bond clone, International Secret Police: Key of Keys, which starred Mie Hama and Akiko Wakabayashi, before they were reunited on You Only Live Twice, with some editing and dubbing by Woody Allen and friends.
007 in New York
It's a Fleming title and lets the audience know right away James Bond 007 is back for a new adventure.
if that gets used and the other 3 don't I will be pissed lol
Yeah it just can't be used, it would be a laughing stock. "Loud enough to wake the dead" etc.
That's a really good point, you're quite right. I bet it must have been a working title at some point, surely?
It's rather good.
SPECTRE is a great title because you know what you’re getting, which is the big problem with the Oberhauser business.
EON: “Our movie title is SPECTRE!”
Fans: “YEAH BLOFELD IS BACK!”
EON: “Christoph Waltz is playing Oberhauser…”
Fans: “…uh huh, sure”.
It’s kind of embarrassing how EON underestimated how savvy Bond fans are. After we figured out Eve was Moneypenny, why bother with that transparent hat trick?
I like that it links back to a Cubby Broccoli movie from the 50s though, I think that's a good enough reason to use it.
(But we've already had too much death and references to death in the various movie titles. Plus there's already a Bogart movie with that title.)

I don't expect everyone to like all--or even most--of these titles, but I will scoff at anyone who says none of them are usable. I would also nominate Fleming's working title for OHMSS--The Belles of Hell--if it fits a future Bond film.
Very much agreed.
Some of the other working titles are not bad, such as The Rough With The Smooth. Even a rejected Fleming title can be better than a faux-Fleming one.
I'm pretty sure Shatterhand was Safin's original name.
And I also think they used a couple of the Danny Boyle sets, namely the missile silo and the Cuba street.
Whatever happened to the old helicopter they bought? Remember when that was the big news?
SHATTERHAND, then.
Okay, okay.
"Time" is the most used noun in the English language. So about time they used it, at least this one time.
A bit long, but I like this one. If you had to pick one, I'd go with Whisper of Hate, but then in the story you could put a whisper of love back into it somehow.
As an added bonus - I think AC/DC have already written the title song for that one. ;)
Since they love following trends, they could call it: SOLO: A JAMES BOND STORY.
My hunch is they'll keep it simple and call it JAMES BOND 007.
If they are going to do that then they'll use: 007 in New York. At least it is a Fleming title and it achieves the same purpose.
