I'll keeep an eye out, then.

Now, does anyone have any ideas for Live and Let Die? I've got a rough outline, but any actions sequences that could be worked in would be sorely appreciated. :P

Hmmm... perhaps an action sequence in Las Vegas, to make up for what was lost from DAF. :D

Just have to think of a reason why... maybe Mr. Big would have a branch there, or suspicious activity, or something?

Yes, that works...the movie doesn't even have to take place in Harlem at all, considering you used NYC in our "FAVTAK" rewrite.:D

Well, considering the locale of the novel, it might be good to have at least one scene in Harlem... :P

Excellent story, guys..! Especially the PTS is a 'classic'.
Do agree with TheSaint though, Roger and Scaramanga should both be left out.

Roger being there was a wink-and-nod to his Bond-like role of The Saint, similar to Michael Billington in TSWLM; Scaramanga's role here, however, will come back to bite Bond in the butt, as you will see in our The Man with the Golden Gun rewrite. :D

Very nice, I'll repeat what i said onanother similar thread: this was a fantastic "what if". Lazenby is my fave Bond.

Good job.

I think a revenge-driven sequel is what we automatically expect in the Hollywood world, but actually, I'd prefer to see a sequel more along the lines of what Fleming originally intended.A broken Bond returning to sanity.


Lazenbyland, you make a compelling argument and indeed, I would like to see something like this. Sadly, we can't take this step yet with Bond22; but I would like to see back to back Bond films (that is, written and shot as one) that covered such a two-part storey arc.


Quantum Of Solace?
