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

    Just make sure to have someone that can pronounce "Shatterhand" if used in a theme song. Would be a shame if it sounded like "Shat her hand"…

    Haha! Yeah, it will probably be one of those themes that doesn't use the films title though, so we probably won't have to worry about it!

    We can only hope! Some had enough issues with Skyfall:

    I always liked The Property of a Lady. I'm sure one day it will be used.

    A Whisper of Love, A Whisper of Hate is beautiful, but isn't exactly the right title for a smashing blockbuster.

    Here in Italy there were some Bond titles that were completely changed in the translation process. For example:

    Dr. No ---> Licence to Kill
    Diamonds Are Forever ---> A Waterfall of Diamonds
    A View to a Kill ---> Moving Target
    The Living Daylights ---> Danger Zone
    Licence to Kill ---> Private Revenge

    Shame. XD

    Also, Thunderball, Moonraker and Octopussy were all given subtitles (Operation Thunder, Operation Space and Operation Octopus).

    Honestly I'm quite fond of the Italian titles (except for Licence to Kill as it sounds rather generic whereas Dr. No fits the mystery pulp style of the movie - but then again LTK was used in English as well - and Moving Target as it sounds rather uninspired, but AVTAK admittedly was tricky to translate)

    007 in New York is dreadful and will never be used. It’s not even a proper Bond title.

    + 2.
    Really the only ones viable would be RISICO and THE PROPERTY OF A LADY. According to John Glen Risico was planned as Bond 17 name at the time!

    Wasn t that The Property Of A Lady? Or were they both in consideration, perhaps?


    AFAIK only The Property of a Lady was being considerated for Dalton's third movie.

    But they were memorable and striking names that fitted as titles. The only others I could see that working for are MR BIG, SCARAMANGA, ELEKTRA, GRAVES and LE CHIFFRE:

    I can only agree on LE CHIFFREE & SCARAMANGA others are so so... But I didn't say just Blofeld it's - E.S.BLOFELD

    Shatterhand is growing on me. Too bad is just a placeholder (still, an official one).

    Or 202007? You know, to match the year in which it might get released. If we're lucky. ;)

    YOLT was retitled "James Bond i Japan" (James Bond in Japan) here in Norway. "007 in New York" reminds me a bit of that.

    ‘007 In Turmoil’ coming Nov 19.

    Or the horror slasher spinoff, James Bond: James Takes Manhattan.


    Or the Brummie spin-off - James Bond: Hankering After Handsworth.

    Seriously, though, of all the titles so many Bond fans have put hours of time coming up with (admittedly, me included) - carefully gleaned from Fleming, as they are - but to my mind sound at all reasonable, likely and not laughable, the only two for me right now are Risico and Shatterhand. That's it; I'm not sure there is anything else if you're looking to lift another movie title from Fleming by this point, to be honest.

    Personally, I much prefer the latter for the oft-trotted-out notion of Blofeld returning one last time for Craig's Bond a la Fleming's YOLT. By comparison, Risico's *a bit* naff (Fleming essentially said as much himself of it) and could be used to mean/ refer to anything. But it *sounds* all right, if not great. That said, many (again, me included) felt the same about Skyfall when it was announced - and that turned out OK, so who knows?

    Yes heard a while back not a bad song but I doubt anything even related to that will be used.

    Not top notch by any means, but certainly much better than that Eva Almer thing. Decent effort.

    To please the hardcore fans. (Excepting the status as an S-word title, hopefully that can be lived with.)
