Once again, just speculating: to have Bond mentoring someone is a way of him having a child-- metaphorically speaking.
And what destroys a parent? Taking away their child.
Also a murder investigation that leads to a bigger plot, a la DN, would be a way of upping stakes through story rather than pure action, keeping the budget a little tighter (and CF certainly knows how to draw out suspense in an interesting and visually stunning way).
Thanks @jake24 !! Ruin all the fun! Back to the drawing board! Okay what if B25 opens with Bond and Maddy enjoying a lovely Sunday drive.
Another car speeds past them. Gunfire!
Catching sight of the driver of the other car, Bond exclaims, "It's Brofeld! It's Brofeld!"
He turns to Maddy, but, sadly, she's taken a bullet to the head.
A motor-cop rides up beside them...
(I joke, Jake. I couldn't remember where the protege angle came from and actually thought it may have come from Boyle's golden idea. I thought I had seen this same thing posted in more "prestigious" media, than reddit).
A bit like OP ;)
Yes, @RichardTheBruce , I think you're onto something. Feels more organic. I'd like to re-edit your re-write into my original script.
Yes, which was somewhat like...
isn't that the point of story-telling that makes it archetypal, @FrankXavier ? The story has an "inciting incident" and then escalates as the story goes on?
It's probably best not to bring in what Fleming would think. That's a can of worms, given how far EON took 007 with Moore.
Whatever. Politics are real and affects the world. Newsflash, Bond is make believe! Doesn't really matter. PS I have a very nice and enjoyable life thanks with my beautiful wife.
@LeChiffre remember no more politics on this thread let it go. right @jake24
Let it go. Please.

Personally, I still reckon that it’s true. I k ow people within film circles in London and the community is close knit and gossipy.
The big question though is how big a role that Middleton will have. She could be minimal.
Well, naturally. In this age of facebook and twitter everything, people have forgotten to think for themselves, which explains why those desperate for news about an upcoming Bond film grab on to everything, including whatever gets posted by whomever on some random social medium. It's the equivalent of looking for a full meal in a candy machine.
I actually think a plastered friend is more reliable than some other “sources” ;)
She'd be good in my opinion.

If I were to guess, I'd say we will get a visible minority for a substantial role in this film. Which role, I can't say. Asian, most likely.
It be a smart commercial decision - especially with China being such a big market these days.
I thought Fukunaga would have cast Sonoya Mizuno as the MI6 agent. She seems a much better fit
She was in his Netflix show and looks to be a rising star. A bit of a missed opportunity perhaps. It’s only a matter of time before Marvel, Star Wars or one of the other big franchises grabs her.
I remember her from that show. Not bad.
