Pussy Galore's Flying Circus is my Favorite Bond title. ;)
Could you all just stop it? Bond 24's title will obviously be Wave-Link, nothing more and nothing less. Trust me, I just know. At least it darn well better be: I've got a lot of money riding on it! ;)
It was on the internet, therefore it must be true.
And you didn't think to tell us that EON hired you to make Bond posters for them? I'm disappointed in you, @Murdock. ;)
* Gunbarrel opening.
* Score by Michael Giancchino, or failing that, the return of David Arnold.
* A cracking, unrelated-or-only-tangentially-related PTS with some nice action, but relatively small enough in scale that doesn't steal the thunder from the main part of the film (action-wise, the PTS in TLD would be a good example).
* M, Moneypenny and Q largely staying at MI-6, where they belong, in Bond 24, at least.
* The return of some form of the '007' theme during a major action/chase sequence. You all probably already know the theme I'm referring to, but for those who might not, I mean this:
<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/yLpciaZzONY?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/yLpciaZzONY?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
* Snowy action, or Japan, or both.
* A fleshed-out, formidable and memorable major henchman, rather than a generic goon du jour.
* Action that is matched with an equal amount of suspense (i.e. Bond vs. Red Grant on the train in FRWL, Bond trying to escape the tram wheelhouse in OHMSS).
* Rather than a full-on remake, which I doubt will happen any time soon anyway, instead salvaging some situations and/or characters from Fleming's YOLT and/or DAF that were either jettisoned or wasted in the film versions (Garden of Death, Blofeld's suicide cult, Saratoga, the Spang brothers, the hooded/booted thug versions of Wint & Kidd, etc), under different names or in different contexts.
* An additional threat to Bond posed by someone (a gorgeous woman, naturally) who blames him (mistakenly) for the death of a loved one earlier in the story... So, while 007 is trying to unravel a plot by Quantum or a revived SPECTRE or whoever, a driven outlier is persistently trying to pick off Bond from the sidelines... basically if Tillie Masterson had blamed Bond for her sister's Jill's death, rather than Mr. Goldfinger... or if Melina Havelock blamed Bond for her parents' deaths. Perhaps Bond eventually manages to clear his name, in her eyes, and she ultimately becomes his main love interest in the film.
I can just imagine the trailer now...
"In a world...where James Bond wasn't available."
*does a pan shot of an Aston Martin DB5*
"Where evil lurks in new places. the world can only rely on one woman."
*Halle Berry walks into view.*
Halle: Were you expecting someone else?
*record scratching sound plays.*
Movie Trailer Announcer Voice: Sorry Halle...your licence has been revoked..
Halle: What the F$*#!?!
*Cuts to me grinning.*
"Meet Bruce Murdock, He's a spy...kind of. Who dares to take on the greatest Super villain of all time. Ernst Stavro Blofeld."
Blofeld: You only live twice Mister Bond....wait who are you!?!
Me: Murdock...Bruce Murdock.
Blofeld: Oh how cliche! Crater guns fire!
@Murdock in...Die Another Day 2: Never Say Jinx Again. coming this Summer. Directed by QBranch! =))
Sorry...I just had too.
I also want to take a moment to congratulate a Mr. @ProfDentsSpider for picking one awesome moniker!

Oh, and your face is pure genius too of course, @Murdock!
Kudos, then, because it's awesome.
Thanks. It was my version of In B4 the lock for the old Wavelink thread. :p
Thanks. Sometimes even the lower quality Bond films can be made into a good joke. ;)
I'd like Bond to get back in his Bently and order a real Martini (with Gin).
I really really want Barbara and Michael, I can't imagine they will, but I want them to produce The Spy Who Loved Me as it is in the book. We have the best and most able actor for Bond now and I really think adapting the book would be incredible.
Adele needs to write a better theme song, or sing it better.
Darren Arronovski needs to direct the film. How weird would that be?
Sexism?
chins?
Quantum and SPECTRE could make their bids for Russian or Pakistani atom bombs.Either way, we lose.
One would fear so. To the victor go the spoils...
I had a similar idea: a criminal organization, either SPECTRE, Quantum or maybe even the Spangled Mob could auction services, WMD and even captured agents to various criminal groups, terrorists, etc. Difficult to execute, because a bit out there, but it could make for a great scene.
Kick ass pre-title sequence.
Kick ass titles FILLED WITH GIRLS
Kick ass title theme song.
Kick ass score that actually uses the melody of the theme song.
For once none of the Bond girls die.
I guess I will have to watch Octopussy....
- "Bond. James Bond"
- "Shaken, not stirred"
- 3 great Bondgirls (one short-time, one bad that dies and one happy ending bondgirl)
- Q and Bond argue :)
- an Aston Martin
- a villain who is not silly but on a par with Bond!
- a nice story: funny, thrilling, dramatic, ...
