ONLY TIME WILL KILL - In Production
#1

Brosnan said he wanted a Bond film to be set in Ireland, so I'm sort of honouring his wish. ONLY TIME WILL KILL is about Bond's struggle to apprehend an IRA fugitive who has continually slipped through the fingers of the British government for more than a decade (hence the title). This leads to a true spy story coupled with an exciting Motocross chase midway through the script that climaxes back in London England, where the IRA terrorist (still unnamed) threatens to destroy the London way of life with a vicious weapon acquired years earlier.
My TWO PROBLEMS:
i) Pretitles: I am having trouble finding a location. I need a spot with a sort of run-down residential area with fairly tall buildings on a hill beside a large body of water. I have considered the Panama Canal and the Albanian Coast.
ii) VILLAIN: I can't think of a name that has an Irish quality to it (but that's not blatantly Irish) that also speaks 'Bond Villain'.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be much appreciated.
Good night from Canada.

Right...straight out of my list at home under Irish the best I can suggest is:
VILLAIN: ".....Blood-Ryan"
WHERE did you come up with that name? Sounds a little like it's from Patriot Games...

Gregory Reaper, eh? Sounds kinda cool, but not Irishy. Initials are G. Reaper. Hmm. I'm sure I could think up a clever one-liner to go with that....

"Sounds like a grim fate, coming from a Reaper." - James Bond

OMG, I must say when I saw this post I started to giggle! (No offence, I explain why) OTWK Is probably the most famous fan-title ever...
Trev,
I think you're confusing this title with All The Time In The World, which I would say would be the most famous fanfic title.

Well, I have been in Quebec City (Canada) for the last 5 days and I must say, IT IS A PERFECT LOCATION. It surprised me, but it is an old-style city with some great looking buildings and a great backdrop/layout for the chase I have planned, featuring especially the Chateau Frontenac and some parachutes....

I can't remember where I got that name from but I must have read it somewhere. It's a real Irish surname. It doesn't come from Patriot Games as far as I know...............so use it boy!....Use it now before someone else does!.AgentM (09 May, 2002 11:31 p.m.):

WHEN THERE'S NO TIME TO DIE...
AND EVEN LESS TIME TO LIVE...
THERE'S STILL ONE THING
THAT TIME WILL ALWAYS DO...
James Bond returns in a blowout adventure screenplay that pits him against his greatest challenge yet. Gregory Reaper was IRA, now a desperate fugitive who has evaded British Security Forces for over a decade. Now, he has returned once again to the world of espionage and terrorism to seek revenge on the country that decimated his life. From an explosive sting operation in Eastern Canada to a thrilling Motocross-style chase through the Moors of Northern Ireland; From the steamy climate of the Mediterranean to an explosive climax aboard a train carrying one of the most deadly weapons known to man, 007 has finally met his match in a villain that is both as resourceful and conniving as the secret agent himself. They've both been invincible for as long as they can remember, but now there is indeed one thing that will bring them down....
ONLY TIME WILL KILL.
Late Summer/Early Fall 2002

How about the bad guy is besieged in Quebec, and then he foolishly comes out, only to be slaughtered in 15 minutes by James Bond and a group of commandoes. This could be the subtext humour.

The FLQ is an interesting topic to be put into a movie, but I don't think it involves Bond. The IRA is the sole terrorist group in my screenplay, Canada is simply chosen as a meeting sight. The FLQ is all but extinct now. There are a few thugs in the opening that I considered making former FLQ members, but I'm not pursuing that.
I'll still look into it.
I wouldn't call them separist whiners...well, actually yes I would. Unfortunately, no one in the scene is actually French! Even the Canadian Intelligence officer is from Ontario!
