03. THE PROPERTY OF A LADY -
One of three
Fleming short stories, although this phrase was used in the film OCTOPUSSY, Eon
can certainly use it since they did use the title THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH. Which
was coined from the film ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.
Now that production has begun on the new OO7 film "Quantum of Solace" and the possibilities that Eon Productions will continue to bring a grittier OO7 in the guise of Daniel Craig, I would like to offer up possible suggestions and titles I would love to see in future Bond films.
01. SHATTERHAND - Named after the
"so-called" villain in Ian Fleming's YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. The
villain turns out to be Ernst Stavro Blofeld. However, Eon Productions can
easily use the name for another villain.

02. RISICO - One of five Ian Fleming short
stories. Although this story was used in the 1981 film, FOR YOUR EYES
ONLY, Eon
could change the meaning of this word.




04. THE WRITING ON MY HEART - Chapter 15 of
THE SPY WHO LOVED ME.

07. MY ENEMY'S ENEMY - A possible title that Fleming allegedly considered.

08. SHAMELADY - A title that was bounced
around several years ago. It is also a chapter title in Raymond Benson's
book ZERO MINUS TEN.

02. At the conclusion of CASINO ROYALE, Bond has yet to find out who is behind the terrorist activities that Le Chiffre helped finance. Many fans would love to see another evil organization, but who would be the leader. In Fleming's DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, there are two villains who run the smuggling operation. Jack Spang and Seraffimo Spang. I personally feel Seraffimo Spang would be an excellent choice to head up an international terrorist syndicate.
03. Recently in the news, oceanographers and scientist have been able to videotape (check out YouTube), and capture a giant squid. With the advantages of computer animation today, the producers can create the giant squid from the DOCTOR NO novel. It would be a highlight in the film series to see Bond fight to the death in an underwater cove against this most dangerous sea creature.
04. In the short story THE HILDEBRAND RARITY, Bond is on holiday in the Seychelles Islands with his friend Fidele Barbey. He meets an uncouth American millionaire named Milton Krest who has offered the two the job of aiding him and his wife, Liz, in the search for a rare fish named "The Hildebrand Rarity." What if the rare and colorful fish carries a poison that can be used for biological warfare. Obviously some changes would have to be made with the character Milton Krest, since he was used in LICENCE TO KILL. But the idea of Craig's Bond being sexually attractive to the married Liz, would make an interesting storyline. Especially at the end of the short story, where she is one of the suspects in the death of her husband.
05. Taking it one step further, Krest is simply supplying rare plants and fish to the botanist Dr. Gutram Shatterhand (the villain in the novel YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE), who has his own secluded island. Here is the next link in the terrorist syndication; Dr. Shatterhand is planning the most deadliest biological attacks on civilized cities around the world and financially disrupting major pharmaceutical companies worldwide on the stock exchange by being the only provider of the viral antidote.
06. Introduce OO8 as the "By-The-Book" British agent who replaces Bond
on a botched mission. Only to have Bond rescue OO8 in the final scenes.
Make this more interesting by having OO8 a female.
07. Bring in the henchman, Horror, from the novel THE SPY WHO LOVED ME.
Have him never seen until the final - similar to Red
Grant in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. Only Bond, and the audience, never see his face.
08. Bring back Irma Bunt and have her creating bizarre experiments in the
Outback (see the book THE BIOGRAPHY OF OO7).
09. Have Bond discover the real reason his parents were killed in a climbing
accident.
10. Introduce the housekeeper, May, from the novels. After all, Bond is a
globetrotting secret agent. Can you picture him trying to keep his home cleaned
for the next overnight guest.
11. Bring back the large battle scenes where Bond, assisted by an elite team of
fighting men and women, battle the villain's army inside a hidden base.
