    But wouldn't they have to pay royalties to use the title? That would mean for Sebastian Faulks to receive money from tickets sales, DVD sales, whatever products they sell with the DMC label on, etc. Why bother? And why pay him money after he slagged off Daniel Craig and SF? Not to mention that he might think he has creative rights or whatever.

    when they purchased the rights, it was after the book debuted.. it was only out for like a week or two then they purchased the rights...... I am not privy to the exact details and what they entitle, but i know EON have them.

    I just hope they manage to keep the new title a secret until it is officially announced at a press conference. Especially after how Skyfall was leaked well ahead of the confirmation at the press conference?

    Perhaps this time around they have figured a way for it not to be revealed online? We will have to wait and see?

    Seem to remember lots of people and press noted how Sony had trademarked 'skyfall'.

    That and somehow it was leaked that they bought a bunch of web domain names that involved Skyfall.

    Interesting. At least it wasn't a slip from the inside. Domain names and trademarks definitely seem to be the biggest causes of movie and game titles being spoiled in this tech-crazy time, which is a shame.

    Not even sure how that type of information gets spotted in the first place. :-??

    It's pretty common lately that film titles (or at least possible ones) are leaked weeks before a confirmation thanks to domain registrations.

    Come And Dive is obviously a fake title.

    The title of Quantum Of Solace was leaked the same way and I would think it will happen again.

    Yeah I seem to recall this business of Domain names being registered which gave the game away. And I recall MGW joking at the launch about the best worst kept secret in history! :-))

    Good. Can't believe so many people and sites fell for that bit of faux information.

    I guess this is why movies are being dumbed down for the masses. Good grief... ~X(

    Lambs wake up! Some leaker aT EON leaks the scipt. Perhaps the title "Come and Drive". It gets faxed over, like how we remember when they get the fax that say Tomrorrow Never Lies but the fax it was a typo and said "Tomorrow Never Dies" and Cub Brocoli said, "lets just go with it!" and well the rest is history. So do not be surprised when Come and Dive is revleead as the true title. This is just a PR coverup.

    This all sounds like a bit like an Elliot Carver style plot just to create headlines!

    Boy I read the plot. Worse than the title. How come anyone believe this to be even remotely true?
