I've just had a thought. What if at the end of Quantum of Solace, Yassuf escaped from Bond in Moscow.

M orders Bond to let his grudge go as he is going to loose everything. Bond betrayes her and follows a lead to Asia over Yassufs whereabouts, in which he endangers many innocent lives due to his incompetence. M revokes his Licence to Kill. The whole of 'The Property of a Lady(?)' is centered around Bond tracking Yassuf down to various places across the world, violently fighting his contacts in Italy, Egypt, Austrailia, the Austrian Alps and London. When Bond finally catches up with him, Yassuf reveals that he was Vespers was boyfriend and was planning to blackmail her further.

Bond's temper gets the better of him and he attacks Yussef who finally gives Bond information that leads him back to MI6, where it is revealed M is exchanging goverment secrets to Quantum for a considerable amount of Money.

When Bond confronts M in her penthouse flat, Bond finds M packing her bags and preparing to leave the country. Bond corners her and she reveals that it was her who was blackmailing Vesper following orders by Greene who threatened to kill her unless she cooperated with Quantum. It is revealed that M set up Vespers death to make Bond vulnerable so that it would be easier to Brainwash Bond into following Quantums orders and brutally murder many respectable figures in the British Secret Service. This way by using an established figure in her majestys goverment, nothing will trace back to Quantum as they prepare to kill Bond afterwards.

M tells Bond that she was having second thoughts on the Brainwashing plot and revoked his licence to kill in order to prevent him from learning the truth. It is later revealed by Quantum that they have no intention of leaving M untouched since she betrayed them and revoked Bonds licence to kill.

Bond is then captured by Quantum who prepare to hold M under 24 hour servailence. Quantum send a brainwashed Bond to kill her, in which he succeeds.

I want this to be a REALLY dark film, darker than anything we've seen before. There will be ONLY 1 Bond girl in this movie who is brutally murdered half way through, at the hands of Quantum, who leave a picture of Vesper on her lifeless body. There will be very gritty, realistic action in this movie including many fight scenes and a high speed car chase through the streets of London.

It would be a pretty neat idea and Bond 23 is Judi's last contracted Bond movie. I know the plot is quite like Licence to Kill but I think that this kind of Bond movie, with a well established actor (Craig) would greatly help the franchise. Plus I think TPOAL would be a great title as in this case, the property could very well be M's life.

Thoughts.

GOD my hair reached the ceiling! This is very dark Mathew! M as a villain? It'd be very interesting, but there are so many conspiracies on the plot that will MAYBE hurt M's image!

[Zorin Industries]

But a BOND film wouldn't be titled around M...?

There are elements of your synopsis that work well.

Spoiler

Although the aspects regarding governmental ties with any villainous organisation are a narrative thread of QUANTUM OF SOLACE.

[Captain Tightpants]

M should not be a villain. Not ever. It reeks of Mission: Impossible when the villain is always a higher-up in Ethan Hunt's organisation. It's a great idea and all, and obviously you've put a lot of thought into it, but I just can't see it working.

[tdalton]

I quite like this idea, although I'm a bit wary of having Judi Dench's M as a villain (but I am not, by any means, against the idea of M becoming a villain at some point, as it would represent one of the few times that a risk was actually taken with an established character in the franchise). I really like the darker tone of this as well, especially the part where Bond would find a picture of Vesper (and I could actually see that happening in one of the upcoming Bond films as well, whether or not they follow a similar storyline to this or not).

Anyway, I'm rambling a bit, but my point is that I'm definitely on board for a much darker Bond film, and certainly wouldn't mind seeing this idea making it to the big screen.

[DamnCoffee]

I really think this should be done with Dench's M, like you said - She's an established character. It would be more of a shocker if it was Dench's M, opposed to a new character in the role as it wouldn't be as powerful since the new M would be unknown.

Good point, although I actually wouldn't be shocked if EON was headed in this direction at some point in the new couple of films.

[Captain Tightpants]

OK, I thought about it, and I've come back with a reason as to why I didn't like it. I'm not entirely sure where the thread-starter is on this issue, but a lot of people are underwhelmed (to put it nicely) by Judi Dench's M because of the way the character is written. The problem is that if she were revealed to be an operative of Quantum, the only way her successor could be written is exactly the same way: unimpressed with Bond and what he does.

Also, the idea of using Bond to kill operatives of the British Secret Service doesn't really work because she would have had every opportunity to brainwash him up until now but there's been nothingt o suggest it's happening. But instead of brainwashing, why not go all the way and put Bond through sensory deprivation, mental reprogramming, psychotopic drugs, hypnotic therapy and behavioural modification? Sounds way coolr than simply brainwashing.

[iexpectu2die]

Risky. I like it.

Hasn't Craig mentioned a big 'twist' at the end of QoS? I wonder...

[Simon]

Has he??

[honeyjes]

He was also going to be naked from the ankle down. I think he likes to yank our chain and it seems to work beautifully, don't you just love this guy.

[Bondian]

Have just seen for the second time in my life 'Three Days of The Condor'.

How about this for an idea however silly or irrelevant but it just could work.

M = Enemy

Leiter = Enemy

MI6/MI5/SIS = Enemy

CIA/FBI = Enemy

Bond is a broken man. Stalked by his peers/superiors...why?

Need to get some more brandy and I'll decipher more.

Wasn't the Federer/Nadal final awesome?

Bollocks.

Cheers,

Hey. Just had a thought. Wasn't Bond underwater as long as Vesper? Or thereabouts?

How about Bond and Vesper get together?

[Blonde Bond]

Sounds risky and I liked some plot points you had created.

Too bad you're not running the show. How about writing a fan fic?

[Bondian]

He-he. Thanks.

I was quite amazed how much 'Bourne' there is in 'Three Days of The Condor'. Has anyone seen this film lately?

It IS risky, but imagine Quantum of Solace ends with Bond hiding and running from his 'peers'. Kills 'M' and 'Felix'. Bond 23 would be about Bond eliminating the 'organisation'.

I have an idea of a fan fic that hasn't been done yet, but it would be more about Bond's parents than Bond.

Interesting idea for bond 23.

I'm currently finnishing up (it will be posted this week) my idea for bond 23.



Kingsly Amis Colonel Sun starring Daniel Craig as Ian fleming's James bond.





I've kept the plot relativly intact obviously updating things. I honestly can't wait to post it and see how you guys feel about it.

Sorry. As your post immediately proceeded mine I assumed you were answering my post.

Don't get me wrong. Your ideas were *cough* good too.

Doesn't that effectively make Bond a terrorist?

And the Federer/ Nadal final was to a Federer fan what DAD is to a Bond fan.

Sadly, I identify myself as both a Federer and a Bond fan.

[danslittlefinger]

Sorry if this plot has been mentioned before...how about one of M's relatives being killed by the Org? The she finds Bond to track the killer (Bond most prob is found in some bar, looking overweight and spent)...but she hires him as she thinks HE actually killed her relative and wanted for him to reveal himself.

Not until the end of the movie do we know, or maybe not? A question never answered..."Whisper of Hate" might be a great title for this.

Or, that 007 was a patsy for MI6 to cover for the real 007? (Enter new actor as 007)...ending scene..Craig's Bond telling them to off and walking away down Vauxhall.

[DamnCoffee]

That sounds very interesting DLF.

[Joey Bond]

Here's one left-field idea that occured to me during work today. Many of us here have asked for a proper adaptation of the book YOLT (itself a part of a sort-of trilogy with OHMSS and TMWTGG). Dr Shatterhand would turn out to be the head of Quantum, and, to steal MHarkin's idea, Mrs Shatterhand would turn out to be M (ok that's a bit silly I admit). If it indeed turns out to be Daniel Craig's last film (oh I hope not) it would be a good way to end it consistent with the novel. Maybe the newspaper article can be about Montenegro instead of Vladivostok.

Silly I know, but I was bored at work.

PS: 100th post!

[goose007]

too dark for me.

[Mister E]

M as a villian ? By no means. Some former M perhaps but not Dench. Also it's too depressing, Bond movies should be fun with some defining tragic moment. This story also leaves way too much bagage for a series.

well it could bring in a new a male M to the series. i mean that would be a great deal. u know i always thought Timothy Dalton or Sean Connery would be great as M for Daniel Craigs bond. especially Dalton.
