    I like 'En Route to Hell'.

    @Daltonforyou I'll take that Bond title master class now. ;)

    I'm not too keen on 'En Route to Hell', sounds too much like a short story than an actual film.

    Good to consider, some suggestions remind me of lyrics to a Marc Cohn song. And concerns for BOND 25.

    Hell it might be the
    highway to heaven

    And it might be the

    I think you're on the right track.

    Our titles are going to sound better than the real one, im almost certain. But one thing is certain. some are going to love it, and some will hate it. and many will get used to it and grow on them. Skyfall was like that with me. What about you guys?

    Whether I love or hate a given title, as long as the film is great at the end of the day, I guess I really don't care what they call it. I actually loved the simplicity of Skyfall as a title, and the ominous meaning given to it in those initial trailers.

    Sure a title wont effect the production and make the film any worse. All I hope for is a great film too, but I feel we fans deserve one of those title announcement that we think, great, l love it. Needs intrigue, but also Fleming if it can. Im hoping for a longer title. Not long to wait now though.

    I can't speak for others, but to me, EON haven't failed to deliver a decent title yet. I'm sure whatever it is, I'll be satisfied.

    I agree with you @QBranch. I don't think there's been a title I've actually hated, but there's been a lot on here I would really want to avoid so I trust EON more than us. We might be good at coming up with better stories, but we might be better off leaving the titles to the professionals haha :)

    That's how I've been. Some good ideas here, don't get me wrong, particularly bits and bobs plucked from Fleming's novels and short stories, but a lot of it has me thankful that EON aren't coming to us for ideas.

    I come up with a few titles back in 1997-98, when I was attempting to write Bond stories. The stories themselves were lame, but I think the titles hold up:

    ONCE AND FOR ALL (villain: "Kill James Bond, once and for all")
    PEACEKEEPER (based on the real life missile, which is hijacked by the villain)
    NEVER SAY DIE (didn't realize it was already a film title)

    I'll try to find the exercise books where I drew the title logos inside the first page.

    Yeah, although I must say I'm not really a fan of the chapter titles. They are exactly what they say on the tin for me. Chapter titles, and would be difficult to bring over to the films. Yes, even The Death Collector, which to be honest sounds like a Jason Blum horror film to me.

    As for the short story titles, the day will come. I think The Hildebrand Rarity will be never be chosen after the little easter egg in Spectre, and probably not The Property of a Lady because of it's use in Octopussy. Risico, on the other hand, could definitely be used. Not the story obviously, but as a title, it's the best on on the table personally.

    As for for your titles @QBranch, I actually quite like them. I'll be honest I see them more as titles of James Bond continuation novels, especially Never Say Die, but still. Good work, how old were you when you came up with these? If that's not too personal haha :D

    Thts what I said from the beginning. I am sticking with RISICO as a title, and even as the bond 25 title.

    Thanks, mate. I was 14. This was around the time I got my first computer, so I could do some basic research for the stories. I remember researching the missile, and saving my Bond work on floppy disk.

    Really? i would love this or certainly a connection to it. the director mentioned bonds 25 will go full circle so it makes scene. I feel bond 25 should have something to make you think about the first film. That would be great i think, but still have its own story of course

    What's the point in titling a movie after a character who has been dead for 10+ years and most likely won't even show up? That's plain stupid.

    I'm still standing by Risico for I like the globetrotting mystique of it. Fun fact: I believe the closest it comes to being a real word is in German; here 'Risiko' means 'risk'

    Other than that I could see the likes of 'By Royal Command' or 'For Queen and Country' be used since an OHMSS vibe is what they're going for for quite some time now.

    I like both of those as well. I'm wondering what the likelihood B25's final title will be a disappointment. To date I have liked all the titles upon announced (even DAD), but we're in an era where simplistic, and dull titles seem to be the norm.
    I really don't think we'll be getting an un-used Fleming short story title, but if we did I'd be more than thrilled.

    I think you have missed my point. i dont mean the title as such, i just mean it would be cool if bond 25 has some sort of connection to casino royale, whether it be vesper or not. Going full circle as such.

    You right ! i've told before that the title should related to casino royale if the script is about casino royal or vesper
