We should really save the Ian Fleming titles for as long as we can. What are some ideas the 007 community has. Do you like London Loved Me. Please post your ideas below.

You shouldn't have made your own topic for this. There are already too many topic threads as it is.

"London Loved Me" sounds like the title of some film about a singer who was rejected in every country he performed in, but finally got the recognition he deserved when he came to the capital of England.

Where's the virtue in saving the titles? What makes it more appropriate to use one in 2025 than in 2011?

Beyond Fleming story titles, there's still some of his chapter titles they could use as well.

But sure, an original title is fine, just as long as it isn't a "Death Die Kill Day" type.

Some just want orignal titles I have no idea why some just do. For me I can think of 9 great fleming titles off the top of my head so i see no real reason to use orignal titles.

"London Loved Me" sounds like a Morrissey song title.

"London Loved Me" With

Daniel Craig as James Bond
Paris Hilton as London Hilton
Britney Spears as Me Messervy (daughter of the original M and Leader of QUANTUM)

Daniel Craig foils a QUANTUM plot to replace the Queen (of UK of course) with a nymphet with no brains. With overtones of gal-on-gal action all PG13 style.

'London Loved Me' sounds like a Frank Sinatra song he never did. A follow-up to 'New York, New York' and 'LA's my Lady.'

Good for a song title, but I can't see it as a Bond title. We need something tougher, though I agree, no 'Death Day Kill ... whatever' title.

I personally want Craig to be given Fleming titles for the duration of his era.

Shame, I don't love London.


I completely agree with SharpShooter though. Craig really does deserve Fleming titles for his remaining Bond films.

I actually think that has a nice ring to it! "Death Die Kill Day" for Bond 23 I say!!
..Now if there were only a way to somehow fit 'Gold' into it...

Isn't this a typo? Shouldn't it read The London Who Loved Me?

No, that doesn't make sense. Not like say, Tommorrow Never Dies...

Plotwise, Tomorrow Never Lies would have made more sense.
