[columbo]

They could use names like SHATTERHAND, Property of a lady, Labour of love, death Warrant, the moguls of death.

It would be great this title - Konspiratzia (5

[sharpshooter]

I think "The Property of a Lady" would be perfect for Bond 22, and hope it is used.

It would get Craig like Connery in title usage, CR - DN being two words, and FRWL and TPOAL four or there abouts. Then we can use Risico as a one word title perhaps in the vein of Goldfinger....

If all that does not happen, I think " Quantum of Solace" would be awesome. Such a grim and gritty title.

Anything other then a Fleming title will be a disappointment in my opinion.

I've always liked it a lot. I was just thinking about it, and realized that the meaning of it could be really fitting for a direct sequel to Casino Royale.

An amount of comfort in sorrow, or "something that alleviates distress".

Could fit the emotional side of Bond's post-Vesper story, as he goes after the people who pulled the strings.

[DaveBond21]

Well, I was a fan of Risico as a title but Quantum of Solace sounds like a very real chance for the title of Bond 22.

I also like Shatterhand.

[Bond... Raybond]

I know I'm a bit late to this discussion, but I've always loved the title QUANTUM OF SOLACE ever since I read the story back in the early eighties. Sure the story would have to be ditched but the title is great. If Craig's films do form a trilogy the QoS and Property of a Lady would make great titles for the story arc.

But keep it Fleming and is it too much to have the title ready to announce at the end of the film? I too miss 'The end of...., But James Bond will return in...' announcement. I realise this is harder if they're using their own titles ( a la Licence to Kill etc), but there are plenty of Fleming titles left.

Plus what is the legality of filming the continuation novels from Amis, Gardner etc. I know some elements have been used already, but will we ever see Daniel Craig as Ian Fleming's James Bond in John Gardner's ....?

I said it again and again, it's gonna be "Property of a lady".

Once it's announced, man, I will gloat and gloat on this board hahaha

Hmmm, it makes sense but i dont think even the producers have a suitable title at this point.

[DaveBond21]

Didn't Forster recently say there would be no Fleming elements in Bond 22?

[DamnCoffee]

There has to be Fleming Elements, Bond is a Fleming Element, M is a Fleming Element

[DaveBond21]

I think Bond 22 should be called:-

Escape from Michael Jackson Island

[DamnCoffee]

If were talking Michael Jackson...
Never Say Neverland Again

[tdalton]

I hope that what Forster was saying about there being no Fleming elements was that there wasn't going to be a Fleming story that was the basis for the script for Bond 22. I just can't see them not using some of the Fleming titles that are still available now that there's the supposed "return to Fleming" approach that was present with Casino Royale.

[Harmsway]

All Forster said is that there was no Fleming story to base it off of, not that there wouldn't be any Fleming material period.

[Vauxhall]

Yes, exactly. With the supposed reboot of the franchise, I really could not imagine them going in the direction of having no Fleming elements. In my opinion, that would have undone all the good work done by CASINO ROYALE.

[Mr_Wint]

Maybe they should save some Fleming material for Bond nr 7 and not use 'everything' in the Craig era. Like the unused titles for instance.

[Cyclone49]

Yeah, I think a combination of Fleming titles, titles derived from Flemings work (A Whisper of Hate, etc) and original titles is the best way to go (and possibly the continuation novels too, if they decide to go down that route). Spread the remaining Fleming material over the course of many movies, instead of using it all up over the next few movies. Otherwise in 4-5 movies time we'll be in the same situation we were in during the Brosnan era.

[007 FREAK]

I think title should be Nothing Lasts Forever.

[Gobi-1]

I'm rather fond of that title myself.

[K1Bond007]

The Better Part of Valor -- Rather long, but I like it in that it fits Craig's Bond. The better part being discretion according to Shakespeare. M questions Bond's in Royale and it's kind of a throw back to the idea behind being a double-O. I think I may have listed this before.

Iffy suggestion:
Upon My Honor -- Something about Bond's allegiance to MI6 or whatever. I just wanted to use a pronoun or possessive adjective.

[00Twelve]

Anything not involving the words "kill," "die," "never," "gold," "forever," "only," etc. will be fine by me.

[DamnCoffee]

I think title should be Nothing Lasts Forever.

Hmmm, interesting, i think that would be an ideal title for the very last Bond movie. or 'Nobody Lives Forever'.

As for Bond 22, i'm still rather fond of 'The Property or a Lady', if the plot centers around Vespers Necklace. I also love 'Devil May Care', since it will be The Flemsers 100th Birthday in 2008, i think, since Daniel Craig's Bond is more Fleming, down to earth and gritty i think this title would be ideal, both in darkness and obviously as it is the centerian.

I agree.

Nothing Last Forever is not very original.

It is the title of the 1979 Roderick Thorp novel on which Die Hard is based and also two other existing movies.

Has a nice ring, though, but feels like a pastiche title, IMHO.

Personally, I'm not crazy about most of the titles being thrown around here. Anything too close to the title of a Gardner or Benson novel would be a waste, IMO, because there is still the remote possibility EON will someday option those books. As for the Fleming short story and chapter titles, only if they're relevant to the story. It's really not doing any service to Fleming to borrow bits of text from his books that have no relation to the material in the film (though I know it's hardly a new practice in the series). I'm probably in the minority here, but if the film is a completely new story that is not derived directly from one of Fleming's works, I'd rather it have a completely new title. From my perspective, you undermine the spirit of fidelity created with CR if you immediately go back to the practice of using Fleming titles/phrases for films that are not directly based on his writing.

ShatterMonkey?

[Mr. Du Pont]

I've been trying to come up with a completely original title for Bond 22, and I think I've nailed it:

Daniel Craig as
Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in

Live Free or Die Harder with a Vengeance

[Double-0-Seven]

I used to really want it to be Risico, because it sounds really cool.

Now I really want it to be The Property Of A Lady. Not only is it a good sounding Fleming title, but it would really work with the plot of the film assuming it centers around Vesper's boyfriend and the Algerian love knot.

[Fixer]

I think title should be Nothing Lasts Forever.

Except diamonds, of course.
