Perhaps we could see Bond in custardy. ;-)
How about if Bond visits Indonesia, Iko Uwais as an ally or henchman? Yes, I just watched Raid 2.
According to the epilogue from Skyfall, James Bond receives a confidential mission from the new M (Gareth Mallory played by Ralph Fiennes). This mission might be the prologue for Bond 24; 007 has an extensive action scene somewhere of the Middle East, the Balkans or countries close to Arabian Sea. The scene ends with Bond being kidnapped by terrorists, who try to wash his brain (censored by the opening credits) to assassinate M, once he returns to London. Bond hesitates in his attempt of assassinating M in his office, but he shows his intention to M, who puts Bond in custody, while they investigate a way of treating him (without knowing who was the person responsible of his brainwashing).
At this point, the beginning of the movie would be similar to the novel called The Man with the Golden Gun.
Nevertheless, Bond manages to escape of the escort, which was watching him, and meets with a naive / rookie agent (Bond Girl), who received a infiltration / spy mission, which would end close to the place where 007 was brainwashed. At the same time, Bond has and leaves tracks / clues, which will be useful for the rookie's mission. The MI6 finds out about the Bond's escape and presumes that 007 kidnapped the rookie.
The plot and character development can grow from how the rookie is turning into an expert agent while follows the attitude, the maneuvers, the ideals and the actions from James Bond (who doesn't know if he guides the rookie in a good or bad way), like if he was acting by means of a "good" instinct while he teaches the rookie how must be a professional. Both would stay inseparable until the end of the mission. Nevertheless, the rookie would have certain suspicion on Bond knowing about his brainwashing and being afraid about 007 led her to her death.
Moneypenny would be confused by the attitude that Bond has adopted from his attempt of assassinating M. On the other hand, Q still feels admiration and confidence in 007, who persuades him at the same time, and uses his skills with the computer to provide support for Bond and the rookie, without M noticing it.
The villain would be the person who arranged the brainwashing on Bond and the rookie would be the one who kills him in the end saving 007 (while Bond was about to get killed by the villain during a hand-to-hand fight). The villain's scheme would be assassinating M in order to send one of his agents disguised and brainwashed as the possible Mallory's successor and control the British secret intelligence in favor of the terrorists. Technically, the villain's scheme would be failing from the very beginning of the movie (something unusual in a 007 film), when Bond hesitates in his attempt of assassinating M and Bond along with the rookie sends information to the MI6 (somehow) about the disguised agent from the terrorists, before to arrive to the villain's hideout.
At the end, M congratulates the rookie for the information gained from her mission and gives her a new status as 00 agent. 007 is treated completely and M gives him a welcome to MI6 with feelings of appreciation and disdain, leaving Bond in suspense about his future and his reputation as secret agent in MI6.
For the first time, we would have another agent 00, who would be a James Bond's ally and not only another agent 00 who we would see briefly up to his death.
The development of the plot (the second act) with regard to the relation between 007 and an ally, who would turn into a new agent 00, would be inspired from the novel called Devil May Care written by Sebastian Faulks.
It wouldn't be bad that the epilogue was similar to the Moonraker novel, if you know what I mean, since the epilogues Daniel Craig 007 films don't look alike so much to the epilogues from the other films in the series. This offers the opportunity to experience another not traditional James Bond epilogue. In general, the rookie would thank Bond for helping him during his mission, when the MI6 didn't give him enough support.
The epilogue concludes with the Gunbarrel Sequence.
What do you think?
This might be the darkest 007 story, but at the same time it would develop James Bond even to the point of turning him into a more human and more complex character, not for knowing more details about his past (childhood) (which would be much a cliché), but for how another agent values him to complete his first dangerous mission. In this way, we'll see a good contrast between the 007 beginner from the prologue in Casino Royale (2006) with the 007 veteran of the final scene of the Bond 24 that I propose (character development).
I INSIST... If someone meets Michael G. Wilson or Barbara Broccoli, it would be great that someone tells them this idea so that they should consider it in the future.
Bond girl to survive to the end (romantic finale)
Serious, bone crunching creative fights. I can't stress this enough. It should go without saying but SF really dropped the ball here BIG TIME!
I mean seriously this is what we can get on TV these das, TV!
There's another fight between Hannibal and Tobias which was again a fight scene that make you wonder wtf are the stunt/choreography team doing on the Bond set.
There are more things I'll add later but for now I'll lastly submit Mike Oldfield as the to tackle the theme song. His song, Nuclear which was used for the soon to be released Metal Gear Solid 5 sounds so Bondian in an organic way that doesn't set out to be Bondian and as luck would have it; some lovely chap put the music to the SF title sequence.
I like Daniel Craig very much-LOVED the opening scene with Craig in Skyfall (the light on his eyes!) Fancy, creative camera work is a must.
Why not have some in at least cameo roles?
Agreed, although if they do a callback, I'd prefer it not be the obvious film or two (DN or GF). Give me something else.
No no no! We have had far too much of this nonsense.
BTw @doubleoego, that mike oldfield song is actually not bad.
Putting the GF reference aside, one of the reasons I liked QoS is that it felt a bit fresh - and relatively unencumbered by the past. For me SF was a step back in that sense and a bit of an introspective nostalgia fest.
Couldn't agree more.
Even though Quantum of Solace could have benefited from some more work being done on the script, I still think it stands out as one of the very best of the Bond films. I think Craig sells himself short when he laments the work that he and Forster did on the script while they were filming, as I think that they did a fine job with it.
Nah, I've never had an issue with the QOS script. Sure, the marked money bills --> Slate --> Camille --> Greene plot is pretty thin IMO, but QOS' aggressive editing leaves little time to contemplate these things. ;-)
Also, I think QOS has one of the very best epilogues of the Bonds, even if it is a Bourne scene. ;-)
I've never had much issue with it either, but I do think that perhaps a final polish couldn't have hurt matters. I'd certainly be interested to see some form of the script that has some explanation for the Fields/Elvis tripping incident that happens at the Greene Planet party, for example.
Elvis was on his way to prevent Camille from leaving with Bond, so Fields tripped him. At least that is what I got out of it.
That's the most important thing out of any possible suggestions that could be made. Bond 24 needs to have a solid story, and one that doesn't feature a villainous scheme that relies on the amount of coincidence and precognition that Silva's did.

-return of Quantum
Gritty, visceral fisticuffs. I want the fight scenes of Bond 24 to make the fights in CR and QoS look like pillow fights.
James Bond to be called James by Moneypenny and to be called 007 by the rest if his colleagues.
Snow action of some sort.
Luxurious and glamorous locations and interiors.
Aeroplane takeoff or landing indicating Bond's arrival/departure of at least one location
A physically imposing henchman that can give Bond a very serious fight.
The Bond babe to survive and for Craig to get his long overdue obligatory love/romantic ending.
Bullit-esque car chase
A new and awesome badass rendition of the Bond theme.
Bond to use more stealth tactics to takeout bad guys
A sense of gripping tension and atmosphere
I want Bond 24 to feel like a hybrid of FRWL, OHMSS, GE and CR.
Craig to have more hair than he did in SF.
No imposing personal themes. Bond had a job to do, let him do it without the plague of back-stabbing, double crossing colleagues.
