Bond
I know it probably seems a bit rubbish but I think it could be quite effective.
I believe some people thought it may well be called that, I seem to remember quite a debate about it.
For what it's worth I still see one of the three remaining Fleming titles being used.
How about "hell will endure" a chapter title form silverfin.
Easy and Fresh
"Bloodstone"
The Hand That feeds You
I can just see the trailer turning OO7 into the OOD in Bloodstone and filling in the other letters.
'Silver Sky'
'Under The Sign Of Death'
'Night Of The Sun'
'Crystal Conspiracy'
"An Original Treason"
"The Hollow Man"
"A Tremor of Fate"
"The Shining Darkness"
And finally:
"Oleander, Lily, Lily, Rose"
This last one might need a bit of explanation. Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose is a paiting by John Singer Sargent (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a6/John_Singer_Sargent_-_Carnation_Lily_Lily_Rose.jpg). The Oleander plant, however, is a highly-toxic flower in its own right (lillies are poisonous, but only to cats). So Oleander, Lily, Lily, Rose would be a beautiful but poisonous flower hidden among others, perhaps an analogy to a woman Bond must find.
Except that the phrase was mentioned in OHMSS and therefore won't be used...
You never know.
And for whatever reason, the producers seem to have disdain for the continuation novel titles. I mean, "Colonel Moon" instead of "Colonel Sun" in DAD? Actually, Colonel Sun would have been a much better title than DAD. Ditto "Licence Renewed/Revoked" instead of "Licence to Kill."
They're going to run out of Fleming titles very soon and will have to look elsewhere, unless they start going to his chapter titles or alternate titles--The Undertaker's Wind and all that.
Renaming the character "Colonel Sun" and then naming the film after him would ruin whatever mystery was built up because Colonel Sun would die in PTS of a film named for him. True, but nowhere is it written that they have to use titles from continuation novels and video games.
