Looking at the latest news, I dont know it has been officially confirmed but its been going around the boards that

Spoiler

James will confront Vespers boyfriend and a female character at the end of the Quantum of Solace as Bond spots an identical Algerian Loveknot worn by the female character which is simillar to that worn by Vesper Lynd.

Now... my question is, if this is correct and the plot does include YOU-KNOW-WHAT will Bond 23 be called The Property of a Lady?
Yes, I know, I made a simillar thread early last year, but rumours have being going around that the climax of Quantum of Solace will involve

Spoiler

The Algerian Loveknot.

So looking at this, I can simply say that this will be the ideal title, if the Producers decide to go for another Fleming title, which I have a feeling they will. And NO I dont have an obsession with the title... but I really want this to be used sometime in the future!

[sharpshooter]

If they chose that title it would be fine by me. It is Fleming and would have relevance to the story. I hope the chances are high of it being used, because I thought it was going to be the title of Bond 22. I just hope they use it, Bond 23 is a prime oppurtunity!

[Quantumofsolace007]

though i have expressed interest for both Risico and The Hildebrand Rarity as future titles. Truthfully so long as bond 23 is a fleming title i'd be just as excited with bond returning in

I don't like Risico as a film title. I know it has ties to Fleming, but it doesn't actually mean anything. I know it's supposed to be Italian for "risk", but it's not. "Rischio" is the Italian work for risk, according to Babelfish, and kowing some of the rules of grammar in the Italian language, the spelling of "risk" is entirely contextual. "Risico" doesn't sound mysterious, exotic or even remotely intriguing. It sounds like exactly what it is: an English bastardisation of a foreign word.

Well i was going ot put this in my intial post.....


I'm also well aware that each of the remaing fleming titles have groups who dislike it for one reason or another.

Risico some consider a title that fall flat and Captain does a good job of pointing out the major flaw

The Hildebrand rarity seems to some to weird a title especially after Quantum of Solace

and of course
The property of a lady some have cited as being too romantic.


and Everyone is entitled to their opnions Risico i would like to defend as possibly changing the meaning entirly and having it become the name of a weapon, mission, or the last name of a villian


but of course i must connfess right now THR and TPOAL are my 2 favourites.

Is it just me or does 'Risico' sound like a boat?

[Quantumofsolace007]

Is it just me or does 'Risico' sound like a boat?

hmmm and the boat could be the main villains head quaters .... lol

[Mister Asterix]

Is it just me or does 'Risico' sound like a boat?

A motor boat or a row boat? Because they have entirely different sounds.

[DamnCoffee]

lol... I mean the name of a boat, like the sunseeker.

[Quantumofsolace007]

to me it sounds like a weapon or last name of a villian.

[Mr. Blofeld]

I think it sounds like a nightclub.

I'm not sure that's strictly correct.

Spoiler

Bond appears to refer to Yusef having the same loveknot as Vesper, but I don't believe he has given the female character (Corinne) a similar loveknot. Having said that, I don't know how he actually finds Yusef in the first place!

But yes, I've always thought that the Vesper connection could be important to using the title THE PROPERTY OF A LADY.

[Quantumofsolace007]

I always felt the you could do a lot of differnt things with the remaing fleming titles.



but than again that is just me.

Actually, it might be a few of us. I think the remaining titles would work regardless, because they are, after all, attached to a Bond movie. And none will require any more explaining than QoS has, and will probably be easier to explain at that.

true


Risico is the most versitile of the fleming names

however the lady in POAL could refer to M and the fact bond's 00 licecne is ...


I mean with the right imagianiton POAL could become just as versitile.

The Hidlebrand Rarity doesn't have to reffer to the fish (thuogh it could) it could refer to a strain of biological warfare (wich the garden of death could play a part in)


I could refference Reflections in a Carey Caddilac but i don't like the title and it's not that i feel it's unsuitable for a film (i've prepared myself that even Undertaker's wind is fair game and i really don't like that one) however my feelings could change.....

Daniel Craig has Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 In

While I don't doubt the title is being considered by EON, being as it's the best title that lends itself to a Bond movie, I think it sounds too romance novel, or mini-series of the week on broadcast television.

Leave it to marketing at Sony to push "Risico" on the production. Makes for better advertising. Or better yet, they'd probably just ask EON to call it:

"James Bond 23: Kill Harder"

Or:

"James Bond and the Chamber of Death"

Whatever happened to Aquator? Can we set up a poll to elect this classic, constantly rumoured and discarded title for B23?

[Quantumofsolace007]

Niothing against Aquator.


but my feeling if it's a bond film with a fleming feel and Fleming styled bond..

which certanitly decibes Bond films they are dcurrently making

they should give it a fleming title.


Right?

Agreed.

Though (and some dis agree on this) I'm not oppsoed to chapter titles being used as film titles as some of them like

Nature of Evil
Valley of Shadows
A whisper of hate

all are as cool as Risico or Property of a lady.


However POAL for bond 23 would be fine by me Though right now I'd put my money on another fleming title but i'm probably wrong....

I'm currently thinking The Hildebrand Rarirrty with possibly Hildebrand being the last name of villian in bond 23.

hey did you see the latest casting news on 5/27? add tons of credibility to this rumor and if true pretty clever and unexpected plot twist.

[Quantumofsolace007]

i'd love another fleming title for Craig wpould really show the direction they are going with bond.

That 007 thing just confirms it

I'd be more convinced if there was stronger reason to believe that B23 will follow on from Quantum of Solace - I have the impression that there's not intention for it to be a direct sequel. (which doesn't mean there can't be a connection)

[Red Barchetta]

"Death Lasts Forever"

or

"Win, Lose, or Die"

[Quantumofsolace007]

I wouldn't mind Gardner or Benson titles....



but i'm hoping for one more fleming title or maybe 3

[Captain Tightpants]

EON won't use Gardner or Benson titles as they do not hold the rights to the books, and I seriously doubt they ever will.

[Quantumofsolace007]

Just like i'm sure there was group who figured they would never use the title Quantum of Solace

well at least u didn't rope amis into that group so Colonel sun is still a possability....


As for POAL I'd love it

[Zorin Industries]

I wouldn't mind Gardner or Benson titles....

Not for me. They are derivative and lazy at best.

Spoiler

Watch just how they set the third film up in QUANTUM OF SOLACE and title it not a million miles from a short story by the name of RISICO.

I'd be happy with that name too.
