The name's 25. Bond 25, or rather, it's NTTD.

    I actually love "The Valley of Shadows"!

    I imagine a very realistic, contemporary story - something about opium trade in Afghanistan...and you have parts of the CIA actually subsidizing poppy production and some corruption going on. Bond (and Leiter?) step in, uncover the corruption, there is a cat-and-mouse game with the Americans etc. - and in the background, the compromised CIA agents are working for a sinister organization profiting from opium and weapons trade - that organization's name is Quantum/SPECTRE?
    So the title would have two meanings - literal valleys in Afghanistan and the cat-and-mouse game of competing spies...

    By the way: GOOD TO BE BACK! I somehow couldn't access this forum for over half a year. I always got an error message. Glad this is sorted out.

    There's some good ones from The LALD novel:

    The Silver Phantom, Valley of Shadows, Passionate Leave

    The Silver Phantom and Valley of Shadows are the two best chapter titles for future films in all of Fleming, in my opinion.

    Multiple Requiem, The Shadower and The Red-Eyes Catacomb from TB are great too, although what the latter could refer to might be challenging.

    Game of Fate would make a good title.

    Devil May Care (as I've already said) and Risico are my top 2.

    I think a nice long title could be nice, if done right. 4+ words

    edit: Never Dream of Dying, Zero Minus Ten, High Time to Kill (all Benson titles) I would also like just fine.

    White Shadows

    It echoes the shadows theme introduced by Mallory, it allows for the return of Mr White in a key role and it sounds Bondian and mysterious.

    Uh, posted these in anew discussion but I suppose they are more apt here:



    Forever in my sights

    Tenterhook (as in 'Operation Tenterhook'...)

    Bloodshot

    Fate always finds you

    ColdBreaker

    One million ways to die
    (I had this one written down a few years ago but now I see there will be a film titled 'one million ways to die in the west'.... ugh..)

    <b>Section Double-O</b>

    High time to look at the inner workings of MI6 and to bring in all other 00's. At least one of them needs to be the Bond girl.

    It is the name of a Rolls Royce, which might cause issues. Of the LALD's chapters titles, I think Passionate Leave might be the best, although maybe too soft sounding. TSWLM and FRWL had titles that were soft, but the presence of the words spy and Russia gave them an aura of danger and mystery.

    Two hours of both of them, a night on the town, chainsmoking and getting drunk as they visit miscellaneous strip clubs and engage in random acts of violence. Rated R. I would pay $50 to see this in theaters.

    How to make a fan-made Bond title:

    The/A + (A Colour/Noun) + Something Dark/Mysterious/Bloody + Something Gun Related

    Or

    [Replace words in a cringeworthy quote with killing references]

    A Gold Shadow of Bullet

    ----FOOL ME TWICE
    SHAME ON THE BULLET THAT KILLED ME

    And in the morning they wake up in a trashed hotel room with no memory of the night before.

    Yes, Moneypenny arrives to find them passed out in their hotel suite.

    Still, these little continuity thingies were done so nicely. Same with the line "I know when a girl is afraid and pretends not to be". Makes both "Casino Royale" and "Skyfall" look like a true double bill.

    I just talked to my bookie and we're both pretty confident that the title is going to be Wave-Link. I've got five grand riding on this one, boys, so this little horsey better cross the finish line ahead of the pack.
