I hope theres no more quantum and they go in a new direction.

[Joe Bond]

What I would like to see in the next Bond film is for it to be more like the original Fleming books in spirit and feel and lets hope Morgan brings it.

Fleming showed more of what makes Bond tick, and more of what goes through his mind.

I would love to see a Bond film where we see Bond narrating/voicing over the story of what goes through his mind when he meets the people he meets and what his strategy is when given an assignment. I want to see what makes him tick and what he is going through on the inside.

It would an interesting and different way to see Bond on film and it would definitely be closer in spirit with the original book(s). Lets see more of the psychology of Bond is what I'm saying.

In another little but significant twist, we should see Bond more in disguise and be different characters to use as his cover in perhaps two scenes. We can some of Craigs range by him needing to perhaps change his voice and mannerisms when undercover.

I also think it would be a nice wink to Bond fans and to the general movie audience to see Bond needing to dye his hair brown for a specific undercover assignment for example.

Another suggestion for this next film is to get back to the feel of the earlier Connery films with mystery, suspense, and more of a noirish feel. MoneyPenny and Q need to finally be introduced in this next film as well.

I hope the Broccolis get a solid director for the next film and I suggest they look at ALFONSO CUARON. He would be a great choice to direct the next Bond film, since I feel he brings the total package for a Bond film to succeed.

I don't know if anyone has told you this yet but welcome to the forums DKnight007. I agree about Alfonso Cuaron and he is #1 on my Bond 23 director wish list and yes it would be nice to get back to the earlier Connery films and I totally agree about the undercover stuff since I believe Craig has the potential to be the first Bond to actually fool the audience into believing that he is whatever undercover character he portrays.

How did we ever let this thread die?

-------

MI6 comes undee the scrutiny of Sir John MacTavish, M's predecessor who turned to politics after resigning from the service and is now a leading member of the national parliamentary watchdog. His interest stems from the body of a lobbyist found on Tate's Cairn in Hong Kong's New Territories.

Bond is dispatched to Kowloon, where he starts investigating the murder. The lobbyist was employed by Craswell & Mullen, the oldest and the last of the British trading houses in Hong Kong. With the Chinese government's policy of moving the centre of Chinese commerce to Shanghai, Hong Kong has been put in a kind of economic limbo and Craswell & Mullen have suffered for it. They are slowly beginning to decline.

Bond's investigations find that the lobbyist, one David Murray Thackwell has attracted the attention of China's Ministry of Public Security. They are investigating Thackwell's connection to one Henry Tung, a British-born Chinese national who has become a powerbroker within Craswell & Mullen. In fact, he is really the power behind the trading house, and the Chinese believe him to be corrupt. Bond aids the Ministry of Public Security in their investigation and establishes that Thackwell was talking with the Hong Kong police. He was willing to roll on Tung in exchange for immunity.

Tung has been a figure of (discreet) controversy within China following his involvement in a separate invetigation into alleged links between the governor of Hong Kong and the triads. Bond believes that he planted evidence and gave false testimony to get the governor charged with being associated with organised crime so that he would be replaced by a new governor, one who would be far more amenable to Craswell & Mullen. Essentially, Tung engineered a change in government so that he could have the governor in his pocket.

But there is more: in the 1960s and 1970s, the Craswell & Mullen trading house was used as a staging point for MI6 when they were conducting operations in the Pacific. Specifically, they were after intelligence relating to the Soviet Pacific fleet based out of Vladivostok, thus explaining MacTavish's investigation into MI6: the British government wants to know if they are culpable. Bond realises that Tung has kept this flow of information going, and that he has acqired for himself a decommissioned Russian submarine. Because he knows the positions of the Russian naval fleet at any given time, he is able to smuggle heroin and opium out of south-east Asia and ship it to anywhere within the Pacific Rim undetected.

With the help of China's elite Snow Wolf Commando Unit, Bond is able to raid Tung's Hong Kong base of operations, which leads to his chasing Tung's helicopter with a car. The final sequence takes place atop Tate's Cairn, and ends with Bond leaving Tung to fall to his death.

Please excuse my plot's utter lack of sophistication, creativity, panache, flair etc etc that all the previous bright posters had. I like to keep things simple. So....

M sents Bond in Brussels to investigate on the organisation called EU. Only to discover as he penetrated deeper and deeper into their headquarters (European Parliament) a fascinating and intriguing world made of horny politicians high on cocaine, high class escort-girls,luxury appartments and cars,champagne etc etc all paid with public money.

Based on a true story.

Scenes from ROYALE and SOLACE...? Didn't they already come out in the cinemas?

[DamnCoffee]

I'm sorry, but these trailers are terrible.

They have no originality at all.

"Deus Ex Machina"

Bond is called in to investigate the bombing of a medical research laboratory called LifeLogic. LifeLogic is similar to the human genome project, in that it is mapping the functions of the brain; in exchange, patients get the care they need. The laboratory's founder, John Paul Dexter, is engaged in a transhumanist project, the practice of using science to extend the human lifespan. Dexter, a controverisal figure in scientific circles, has gone on the record to claim that human immortality could be achieved in our lifetime. Bond quickly finds the bomber is a religious zealot who believes that there is no meaning to life if it does not end.

Bond begins to question this, believing the man to be indoctrinated. He delves further into LifeLogic, and begins to unearth disturbing evidence: doctors have intentionally let terminal patients die, all the while mapping their brain functions. Worse, Bond begins to suspect Dexter has been killing healthy people and soon finds evidence of it: a trail of bodies has turned up.

Dexter, it is revealed, is terrified of the concept of death. More specifically, he hates the idea that death is eternal, and that the afterlife might simply be nothingness. And so he has been killing people, interrogating them as they die so that he can find out what they are witnessing. He has been uploading all his information on the brain's fucntions to a giant liquid-based supercomputer underneath LifeLogic, intending to create a replica of the human brain that can think for itself - and to which he will add his own personality in the hopes that it will create a second, immortal version of himself and make him a god.

A possible subplot - and this may be going too far - would involve someone (Dexter) trying to purchase Russian satellite positioning data. He will use this to access a series of defunct Russian satellites, and using his supercomputer's knowledge of the human mind, broadcast a blanket signal across the earth at a very specific frequency. This frequency will interfere with the brain's thalamus, which controls the ability to dream. he pocess of dreaming, Dexter has found, is to erase the pent-up thoughts of the mind overnight, essentially wiping it clean. His broadcast will prevent that process from happening, driving people insane through the weight of their piled-up knowledge. In the destruction that follows as civilisation collapses, Dexter and his god out of the machine will emerge as the most advanced life form on earth, furthering his belief as a god. Whether or not this would actually work does not matter; the point is that Dexter is insane and believes it will.

(Also, I just realised - I need to change the villain's name; Dexter is too much like the killer on the television show of the same name ... problem is that I don't have anything good to replace it with.)

I think the beginning of Bond 23 should open up to the alternate ending to QoS where bond goes to Haines estate. use it as a beginning and not an Alternate ending it could work.

[Agent 76]

A Bond movie entirely filmed in black & white.
