Die By The Sword
Would that mean we'd have to have Moonraker again? I know that'd horrify some people but I'd be all for it, especially if they stuck much closer to the novel this time.
Yes, they'd have to call the rocket something else and change the name of the main villain. The girl in the book had a different name so they could keep that and it would be good to see Willy Krebs and Dr Walter on screen. There's basically a whole novel there left to still adapt so it should be an open goal for Eon. It'd also be a great way to introduce a new Bond actor with a solid Fleming story. It would be just a good straight thriller with no personal element to distract from the plot at hand.
Yeah they could change the baddie’s name to Graves :)
Oh, yeah, that was a Fan-Made Soundtrack done by Rich Douglas i posted here:

Yeah, I always say it's harder to adapt than people think. A lot of aspects to it have already been used, and what's there might not be usable in the process of having to update it. There might be bits that could be reworked into an original story, but not the whole novel.

A couple of generic titles:
At the Edge of Fear
When Tomorrow Never Comes
All You Need Is Kill, or Live Die Repeat, would have been 100% weirder and better.
Maybe for Bond, All You Need to Kill
With Honour Until Death
I recall that in MR the novel, Bond and the leading lady do NOT get physically intimate. Not talking about taking Bond down to "just" one lover in a film. This would be NONE ! Hmmm, I suppose they could include a non-leading lady affair for Bond, and, with that in mind it may be noted this occurred in the film of QOS. Bond had a brief dalliance, but as far as the leading lady and him -- their relationship was not like that. The film did not suffer, of course, as Bond also - despite the superficial indication from the dalliance with Ms. Fields - was mourning Vesper and on something of a vengeance mission, so it fit.
Had I written Edge of Tomorrow I'd not have been able to resist including the line: "I'm getting deja vu all over again !"
Yes, turns out Gala was married in MR. And yes, one could argue it was adapted in QOS in a loose way (I've also always said that the scene where Bond is about to shoot himself and Camille in the hotel fire bears similarities to Bond's planned suicide in MR, albeit in a much less cavalier tone/fashion). I would argue QOS isn't a revenge mission at all though, but the similarities between Camille and Bond in regards to their losses was quite interesting and added something to that general idea of the Bond girl 'getting away' as it were.
Dance into the Fire
There is also a George Harrison song title that would work for a future Bond film down the road.
The Art of Dying
Again
