'Quantum of Solace'?

quantumofsolace.com domain registered to Sony Pictures...

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm hoping that they pick a title for Bond 22 by the time Casino Royale is released. This way, at the end of the credits they can put the infamous "James Bond will return in...." and then actually list the name of a film.

Not that important, just a thought.

Would be nice, wouldn't it.

[Qwerty]

Posted this is another thread as well: What a cool surprise that would be. Seeing that the film (Bond 22) has already been announced makes this slightly more possible than normal I would hope.

[killkenny kid]

Love to see it happen.

[Vauxhall]

Would be very cool. I would guess that if we do get a title for BOND 22 announced in the credits then it's likely to be an original Fleming title, however if we don't, that could suggest they will be creating a new one. Let's just hope that BOND 22 isn't delayed by the Pinewood fire.

[AnGer 007]

It would be very sweet to announce the title of Bond 22 that way.

[Daddy Bond]

That would be cool - a definite throwback to Bond films of the past.

That would make my day to have a JAMES BOND WILL RETURN IN [INSERT TITLE HERE]. I've missed that desperately.

Just a small bit of trivia that I'm not up to date with and maybe someone could help me out. Whenever it has been confirmed that the next Bond film is already in pre-production, has there always been a title announced at the end of the previous movie?

For instance, in the 1960s when you had movies in consecutive years, it was quite commonplace to announce the next title because it was confirmed that the next movie was already on the production line. In the 1980s/1990s, with the longer gaps between movies, we got the more speculative "JAMES BOND WILL RETURN". Perhaps now that BOND 22 is already in process, this will fit in with the old tradition of announcing the next title.

Hmm...I've just re-read this, and I sound slightly deranged. Hopefully someone will understand my point. Basically, the tradition of naming the next movie seemed to die out when there became increased doubt over whether there would actually be a new movie. Hopefully, with BOND 22 we will see the reinvention of that tradition.

[Bondian]

Maybe it will say; "if agreed by craignotbond, Bond will return in another Daniel Craig Bond film".

Wankers. Yes, really.

They usually made the decision right when the current film was released. Sometimes they would say early, but it didn't always work out. Even when they put in the title in the "James Bond will return" line they were sometimes wrong. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is an example here. It was announced before Goldfinger was released and even early prints of Goldfinger showed that OHMSS was going to follow it, then later OHMSS was announced to follow Thunderball. There are interviews with Connery where he was certain he was going to star in it as part of his deal.

Later in the 70s/80s they didn't start work on the next till the current one was released, hence the foul ups and ultimately the decision for the generic "JB will return" line.

I like this idea of a thread, so I'll start with my own choice.

JAMES BOND WILL RETURN IN

I guess we'll have to sit through the end credits, won't we?

[DamnCoffee]

hopefully not, what i'm hoping is that the minute the end titles come up the name of Bond #22 will be given

[K1Bond007]

I guess we'll have to sit through the end credits, won't we?

Well, they usually say "The End of _____ , but James Bond will return in _____" (or a variation of this) so it should be the first thing you see in the credits if they do it. Though I suppose they could wait till the end. That'd be pretty bogus. Some of the early films, the credits weren't even a minute long so it wasn't a big deal. Given how CR ends and the fact that Bond 22 has already been announced, I would think they would want to throw it up first. That's just my opinion though.

[Qwerty]

Depends. The "James Bond will return..." line was placed near the end of the GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and Die Another Day credits, but it was the very first bit in the The World is not Enough end credits.

You can always edit your posts.

It does sound a little deranged. . I've found it rather amusing though

As have I.


Of course I am still waiting for


JAMES BOND WILL RETURN IN (Any Benson novel)

[darthbond]

I agree that that line should be put back in the movies since they are starting over, why not? That would make my day.

[Double-0-Seven]

I really hope they include the next title. It would be a nice touch for the reboot. I just hope that it's shown at the beginning of the credits so I don't have to stay until the end.

[DamnCoffee]

i'm staying to the end anyway - i wanna hear the music

[Skudor]

It certainly seems more likely now than it has for a long time.

[Double-0-Seven]

i'm staying to the end anyway - i wanna hear the music

Good idea.

Come to think of it, I did stay to the end for The World Is Not Enough to hear the music, but not for Die Another Day.

[Red Barchetta]

That is one of my favorite things about the credits-

"James Bond will Return..."

It would really be great if they put the 22 title in!

[Donovan]

Geez, to think I remember when it was common place for the next title to appear. Back then, I wasn't really aware of the Fleming books and stories. I was really surprised to learn a few years later that they were conceived as far back as the 1950s.

It's really a shame that at least "TWINE" couldn't have been mentioned at the end of "TND". That seems the most likely of the "original" titles that could have been projected in advance.

But if they come up with some play on cliches like "A Friend in Need is an Enemy Indeed" or "No Use Crying Over Spilt Blood" or anything with death, dying, kill, etc. and my eyes will glaze over.

Past titles, aside from the cliche-inspired ones, have been based on characters, mission code-names, descriptive terms, and original observations. Something that directly relates to espionage, like "For Your Eyes Only", is good. It's the sort of title that is instantly recognized as Bond-related.

Thats understandable

[Robert Watts]

You know I actually prefer the vaguer 'James Bond will Return' to James Bond will return in...

James Bond Will Return is far more heroic and iconic than having a seven word title stuck to the end

[bernsmartin007]

James Bond will return in "Risico"
