I'd love to see a good adaptation of Live And Let Die, y'all...don't care if that's the title or not. I'd be interested to see how the loose ends from Casino Royale would continue to unravel. But hey, no more likely target for terrorism than the United States...

[the other fellow]

I think "RISICO" is looking pretty good at the moment.

[stamper]

One year ago, my first post ever on this board was about the 2nd one being called Live and let die, without being a remake of the original.

Just like CR is called, well, CR, without being a remake of the originals.

Let's wait and see... I think we will be in for a surprise...

PS : Risico / Whisper of hate / Property of a lady... aren't we clutching at straws ? ;-)

[No. 2]

IMHO there's no chance Bond 22 will be called 'Risico'. For one, it's a rubbish title whatever the legions of fan boys say. And two, the plot of the story has already been used in.

But...BUT...I think there's a good chance the word 'RISK' could pop up in the title somewhere. I think that ,after CR, it'd be a natural continuation to include some mention to the world of gambling.

[kneelbeforezod]

I think Bond 22 should be called "Rintinpimlico", because Fleming once muttered the word "Rintinpimlico" in his sleep, and also it doesn't matter what you call Bond films, as people will watch them anyway. Also, "Rintinpimlico" is the Finnish word for "peril".

Death In Spades




Just playing around. I just hope it's Fleming. Risico is my fav for the style of the film I imagine, but I could go with any of the unused titles to be honest... except 007 in New York which is a tad too generic for my liking (like the one above ). Perhaps a twist to Fleming's original title: "Reflections in a Carey Cadillac" or Carson McCullers "Reflections in a Golden Eye" or even Fleming's chapter title from Goldfinger "Reflections in a Double Bourbon". Clearly Fleming liked the idea of such a title.

I'd like to see them go with a Fleming title as well. I think that THE PROPERTY OF A LADY or A WHISPER OF HATE are the best options for Bond 22, but I certainly won't complain at all if they call it RISICO.

Agreed especially if it's The Property Of A Lady.I guess Brosnan will hold the banner of the only Bond actor not to have one of his movies named after a Fleming work for awhile.

[Sandbagger]

How about another unused alternate Fleming: Mondays Are Hell.

[Nimsworth]

"anything but Risico"

I just really dont want that title. But to each their own I guess.

[Skudor]

How about using the villain's name? E.g. Goldfinger or Dr No. Or a location e.g. Casino Royale. There have been plenty of meaningless titles (nothing wrong with that) so it would be nice to have something different this time round.

[PrinceKamalKhan]

The Property of a Lady. Could possibly work Vesper's necklace into the story when Bond confronts her ex-boyfriend villain.

Risico or Shatterhand would be fine as well.

JAMES BOND WILL RETURN IN

THE SPECTRE OF REVENGE

[Blonde Bond]

James Bond will return in Licence to Kill pt.2 - Algerian Lover

[Double-0-Seven]

James Bond will return in 2008.

But actually, I would love for it to be one of the unused Fleming titles. Risico is a great title, and The Property of a Lady would be good and make sense to the story.

What does 'RISICO' mean and how is it pronounced?

[iexpectu2die]

Anything Fleming:

'A whisper of love/hate'
'Mondays are Hell'
'The rough with the smooth'


they're all great. Risico has the nice 'fanboy' element, but it does sound rather dull.

[yolt13]

RISICO and QUANTUM OF SOLACE have almost no chance of being selected. Need I remind many of you of the decision to call Dalton's last film LICENSE TO KILL over LICENSE REVOKED out of fear that too many viewers don't know the meaning of the word "revoked"? You can point to titles like OCTOPUSSY or MOONRAKER or CASINO ROYALE as evidence that "odd" sounding names can be used for Bond films, but each of those had certain marketing value. MOONRAKER was the title of one of Fleming's better novels and evoked the STAR WARS image that the producers were shooting for at that time. CASINO ROYALE is well known as the first Bond novel, and the title and story are naturals for a film that intends to restart the franchise from the beginning. I don't think I need to explain why OCTOPUSSY works as a James Bond title.

Obscure, peculiar titles to Fleming short stories and single chapters are likely to be dismissed outright in the hunt for a moniker for Bond 22. Those that have some relevance to the story, such as PROPERTY OF A LADY or A WHISPER OF HATE have an outside shot, but the more abstract or foreign-sounding titles aren't likely to receive even cursory consideration.

Couldn't agree more. "A Quantum Of Solace" is such a deliriously terrible title that I can't help but laugh when someone seriously suggests it.

Fandom. It reminds me of a quote Harrison Ford apparently made a couple of years ago, when speculation about a new Indiana Jones film was rife. Someone met him and asked him what the title of the new film would be and he replied, "Indiana Jones and the Opal of the Merman King"... he was taking the piss, and yet some people believed him

Granted, none of these Bond titles are that bad, but they aren't far off.

I suspect Bond 22's title will come out of the blue, like "Phantom Menace".

[Remmert007]

Risico is the Dutch word for "risk". In the novel it is used by Kristatos (first line of the story):
"In this pizmiss is much risico." where he seems to use it for the same meaning.

I would say you pronounce it "ree-see-co"

[Stax]

I bet Risico, if it is indeed the title, is either a codeword like "ellipsis" was in Casino Royale or it's the name of the new Spectre-like terrorist outfit Bond is after. Just a thought.

Yeah, I agree this is probably the best method of using "Risico" in the context of a movie. Personally I'd prefer the organisation to take the name.
