gold for
good
_7
something like diamonds are forever in the sense that diamonds and gold never age
gold till the end
_of time
_7
would have been a great if used for the golden anniversary
still like my idea about
for queen and
country
_7
they still have property of the lady, risco, and hildebrand rarity
but they could stat using chapter titles from the books and that would open up a whole new list of available bond film titles

"for queen and country"
way to cliche?

Every time a promo comes on I think "That would work as a Bond movie."

THE BACK-LIT SCENARIO

What about the title,
THE BACK-LIT SCENARIO
It's a title I was just thinking about today.
To counter all those who did not understand "Quantum of Solace", I presume?

does anyone know if they made those changes to the blu ray box set? if it says bond will return in the LTK credits in GE?
seems like they wont b/c now they can have a whole press conference for the bond title
i found the skyfall press conference wasn't to exciting expect for the fact its the return of 007 in 4 years and the girl in the red dress is smoking hot

would anyone else like to see the return of the next bond film title at the ending credits of the current film? or is that a thing of the past? i like the counter on the website
I doubt that we'll ever see a return to an announcement of the next film's title in the credits of the current film. That was done when they still had Fleming novels and/or short stories to adapt to the screen, so they had an idea as to what their next film was going to be based on what novels were left to be filmed. Now that they have to come up with a completely original story and title each time out, that takes quite a bit of planning, so unless they set out to film two films back-to-back like we've seen from some of the other big-budget action franchise, I doubt we'll ever see them release the next film's title in this manner again.

but your right and i forgot most of the titles and novels have been used.
god for bid that the 2nd most successful film franchise jump the gun and prepare for any future bond releases
i'll assume that the newest blu ray release did not make any changes to the ending credits that did not have any future titles

Because "a quantum of solace" is described as "a small measure of comfort". That's what Bond was looking for in the film. He wanted answers about how Vesper Lynd had wound up in a situation where she felt she had no choice but to kill herself. When he found those answers, they led him to Yusuf Kabira, and he was able to stop Yusuf from doing the same thing to Corinne. In doing so, he found closure, and was able to move on from Vesper's death.I still don't understand how the title Quantum of Solace had anything to do with the events or themes of the recent film.

It seems like it would be a relevant title for the next Bond film.

This being the Year of the Dragon, I was thinking we could put a bit of a Bond twist on it (which would be doubly appropriate if Bond was on a long-term assignment) - something like THE YEAR OF LEAD AND SULPHUR, with lead being synonymous with bullets and sulphur being a component of gunpowder. Speaking of gunpowder, I was also thinking something along the lines of SERPENTINE would be good for a Bond title. Aside from the connotation with snakes, serpentine was an early, higly unstable form of gunpowder.

In the meantime, though, next year will be THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE, which fits in with your title idea, Capt. T.P. Unfortunately there won't be another film that soon (although, since QoS follows directly on the heels of 2006's CR, SKYFALL may still take place in the recent past, and EON may still have some catching up to do).

but just for fun going though the chapters titles
Casino Royale;
pinks lights and champagne
a whisper of love, a whisper of hate
LALD;
the silver phantom
valley of shadows
MR;
a golden day
beneath the flat stone
all the books i have after those ones are much older and don't have a chapter title table of contents. just thought i would throw out some examples for fun

HANDSOME BUT DEADLY – taken from a cool line in TSWLM. I love the ring to it and it's pliable enough to be relevant to just about any conceivable future 007 screenplay that focuses on Bond's bad-assery.
I really like the floated suggestion for FOR QUEEN AND COUNTRY, so long as England figures prominently. And the Queen. Or merely _A_ queen. Slightly modified, FOR QUEEN _OR_ COUNTRY opens up a whole new avenue of possibilities.
DANGEROUSLY YOURS. See "Handsome But Deadly" above about relevancy and bad-assery.
DANCE INTO THE FIRE. Yes, a lyric from the title song for AVTAK. See "Handsome But Deadly" above concerning coolness factor.
BLOOD IN YOUR EYE. Just riffing here...
ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD – Of all the potential classics that could stand up to a remake, I'd like to see Craig have a go at OHMSS. Maybe EON could pull a surprise whammy and withhold the tragic ending for the teaser of the subsequent film.
Cheers!

That would be a disaster. No John Barry, Diana Rigg, Bernard Lee, Telly Sevalas, Simon Raven or Peter Hunt?
Count me out.

Fleming didn't do that - even though Moonraker and Goldfinger have three syllables and are names, their meanings are different. He may have used the words 'live,' 'love,' 'only' and 'gold' more than once, but each title which contains one of those words is vastly different from its predecessor (and a title like 'Live and Love Only Gold' leaves nothing for next time).
'Colonel Sun' evokes Dr. No, but it is still relevant. Of Gardner's titles I like 'Licence Renewed' for its double-meaning; 'For Special Services' more than the story itself' 'Nobody Lives For Ever' despite its having already been used elsewhere; 'Win, Lose or Die' for being Flemingesque but not forcibly so, and 'Scorpius' & 'Brokenclaw' for being exotic names.
While some people are leery of 'Skyfall' because it doesn't sound Flemingesque, remember that there was no such word as 'Flemingesque' in Fleming's lifetime. Casino Royale, Live and Let Die, Moonraker, Diamonds are Forever, From Russia With Love, Dr. No, For Your Eyes Only...what do they have in common? Even the later ones: Goldfinger, Thunderball, The Spy Who Loved Me, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, You Only Live Twice and The Man With the Golden Gun may be evocative of some of the early titles, but not copies or pale imitations of them (The Man With the Red Tattoo, anyone?).
I expect Skyfall will be perfectly relevant, and many who carp about it will leave the theatre agreeing that it was the perfect title for that story. It's a waste of time suggesting alternate titles after the fact anyway, unless you're fortunate enough to be responsible for choosing the foreign-language title for your region.
I say trust EON - their batting average for successful new titles still beats IFP's (TMWTRT might have been called Slap! if they'd had their way). Who knows? Skyfall may be so successful that Eon will have no choice but to name the next one Skyfall 2 in order to be sure no one misses it.
