I think The Property of a Lady would work very good for Bond 22.

[belvedere]

I'm still a sucker for "A Whisper of Hate" myself.

[DaveBond21]

When do you think we will get a title announced officially???


Will we get it before October?

[DamnCoffee]

I'm hoping any day now.

[DaveBond21]

Surely we will have a title in the next 8 weeks?

[Qwerty]

Could be any time really. With Die Another Day, I seem to remember the title coming pretty late, but we knew the Casino Royale title for a quite a while.

[JackoB23]

...another vote for "The Property of a Lady," although "A Whisper of Hate" has a nice ring too.

Yes, good point. With Casino Royale we knew the title with 12 months to go. But with Die Another Day, I seem to remember hearing the title around July 2002, which was only 4 months before the release of the film.

I hope it's not like DAD.

[Killmaster]

very true ... we knew the title to "casino royale" a year ahead of release, but that was only because the film was being based on the novel ... no real surprise once that decision was made. i'd be willing to bet we won't hear the true title until summer 2008, maybe a slight bit earlier.

if you're looking for a title with a fleming history, i think "whisper of hate" would be perfect, even better than "property of a lady" [which was sort of already used within "octopussy"], but i'm not counting on either.

i suspect we'll see a completely original title which will be derived from the script itself.

[DaveBond21]

I hope we get a title before the end of the year.

[Taro Todoroki]

A thousand apologies if it has already been asked but wouldn't this topic be great for a poll?

[Twine29]

I have always loved how at the end of the older movies it would reveal the title of the next film. My hopes is that the title of the new movie is undeniably James Bond and gives some sort of insight as to what the film's plot may revolve around.

[HildebrandRarity]

Actually Casino Royale was released as the title for Bond 21 a couple or three months BEFORE DC was announced as 007 in October 2005, i.e. about 5 or 6 months before filming started.

Die Another Day was announced as the title for Bond 20 in, if I recall, in April 2002, a full 2 to 3 months AFTER filming started (January 2002).

I remember checking in on CBn daily to see if they'd gotten a title as they got nearly half way into filming. Black Sun to Beyond(/Beneath) The Ice were some of the rumoured focus group and fan boy titles.

So the real answer is that Bond 22's title could be released as early as today and as late as the spring of next year.

It was announced in Feb 2005, but it was heavily rumored for a long time before that.

Maybe we should have a poll of our favourite titles. At least we know it's not going to be a Fleming title.

[RazorBlade]

The more I think about it, the more I like A WHISPER OF HATE given the general revenge bent Bond 22 will have.

[tdalton]

I like that title as well, and I think that it would be perfect for the title of Bond 22.

The Undertaker's Wind

Sounds like a film about a flatulent mortician.

[Vauxhall]

Do we know that?! I thought there was still a chance of it being THE PROPERTY OF A LADY, RISICO, or even QUANTUM OF SOLACE? Those are my preferred titles nonetheless.

[stamper]

Roll the dice another day or die tomorrow or never say kill again

No more seriously, I think the next one will be a loose remake of Goldfinger with another title. Mr Wilson was spotted reading the novel on a plane last month.

[Mr. Du Pont]

I'm still partial to my original title idea of THE SPECTRE OF REVENGE, but seeing as how little hope there is of a return of SPECTRE, I just came up with a new one.

The origin and double-meaning are fairly obvious, as is the schmaltziness which will prevent it from being the actual title:

Daniel Craig as
Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in
LOVE NOT

u know that might actually work.

[stamper]

Having given this one a thought, I think it's gotta be

LIVE AND LET DIE

Think about it : more press generated, on the same wavelenght as CR, exploiting the fact that "this novel had never be done right for the screen", fandom going into frenzy because it's a step clearly showing they might redo the novels that didn't make it except for the titles, and right this time (ie follow up with Moonraker, and then YOLT ?)

hahaha, can't wait

[DaveBond21]

I thought there was a quote from Paul Haggis saying that although there was no title as yet, it would not be a Fleming one?

[Vauxhall]

Hmm, not that I can rememeber, but I may well be wrong. Found a few bits and pieces of Haggis discussing the BOND 22 title though:

From the MTV article: 'Haggis did admit that he recently suggested a title to the series producers. "I said, 'I think this is going to be a good title,' and they said, 'Um-hmm.'"'

[DaveBond21]

Sorry, I got mixed up with the story that Bond 22 "will not be based on a Fleming story", but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't have a Fleming title. Although didn't Purvis & Wade rule out "Risico"?

[avl]

Ain't it Cool have a story that the working title is Property of a Lady...for what it's worth...
