The next installment should be called either Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or Chitty chitty Bang bang!


There's a movie by Val Kilmer which already used the title! But, those are two Fleming titles even thou, they arent Bond related diirectly. Thou, i think Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is...

I would love Risico as a title.


I do feel once I see quantum of solace i'l know what fleming title they would use assuming they use a fleming title.


I'd like Risico.

I'm not wild about RISICO as a title, but then I would never have thought they could find a way to use QUANTUM OF SOLACE, and yet here we are. It would depend on how they worked it in, I suppose. I wouldn't rule it out, but I'd be okay if they never use it.

As for revenge, assuming QoS deals with it effectively, then I think they shouldn't retread that one for a long while. I'm also a little weary of Bond-as-outcast--we've seen it in LTK, DAD, and to a degree CR. Add that to QoS, and it's more than enough already. I want Bond enfranchised, accepted, part of the service again. It's okay if his methods bug the hell out of M from time to time, but enough with the trust issues and him having to prove himself. Time to move on.

MGW/BB have said that they now want Bond to have a personal story in each film, rather than just carrying out an assignment. I personally think that gets old too--I agree with those who yearn for an occasional plain old go-do-this-mission story--but I'm okay with the personal angle as long as it's something different from the personal stories we've seen so far. Bond-as-outcast has been an interesting way to break formula, but it's starting to become a formula itself, IMO.

It's not going to be revenge. I cannot fathom that they would use that angle AGAIN. There's no need. However, I do want to see Bond continue to work his way up Quantum's chain, as he did with SMERSH in the novels (which didn't turn into revenge stories). Along those lines, I wonder what it would be like if Quantum operated like actual terrorist organizations and had positions that are repeatedly filled when one of their men is killed. What would Bond do with that?

Rambling. Badly.

But seriously, no revenge. There's no reason for it, there's no excuse for it.

The title Risico doesn't nesccarily mean Bond 23 will be about revenge.


though I do hope wether the bon producers choose Risico, Property of a lady or The Hildebrand rarity bond 23 has a fleming title.


and if the story and action are amazing i may go for 007 in new york. but that would have to be one hell of a film for me to get on board with the title.

No to Risico, and no to another revenge film.


Property of a Lady would work better, and if you use 'live', and/or 'die' then use

"Live Property of a Dead Lady" :(

I'm all for using the unused Bond titles. There isn't a better time than to use them up then after the reboot. Risico is a better title than Moonraker. If that one was still out there NOBODY would be on board for it. Property of a Lady is a no brainer. The Hildebrand Rarity is a bit clumsy but no more than QoS. I would love 007 in New York just for the subject matter alone. And you couldn't let that be the lone missing title. Could you?

Agreed. The revenge angle should be retired for a while after QUANTUM OF SOLACE. It's been a major focal part of the last few Bond films, and it would be fantastic to get a Bond film that just featured Bond out on some mission without having it turn into some form of personal vendetta.

Probably said it before, I like Risico. Short and punchy, exotic Italian flavor even though it's Dutch too.

Only weird angle: we would have to start writing about R, which looks even weirder than AVTAK or DAD.

I do admit, I like the title. How many one-word titles do we come across anymore that can actually work? (That is, not containing the word 'gold'.)

But the idea that the title would have anything intrinsically to do with revenge is silly.

Risico I love

The Property of a lady I love

The Hildebrand Rarity is actualy my favourite and would love it to be the title of bond 23

007 in new york would be interesting extremly interesting.

I think it would be interesting if Bond screws up, and M doesn't really trust him so he is given a 'simple' mission that turns to have a connection to Quantum.

Yes, you've said as much, and on multiple occasions in this very thread. Which makes yours a completely pointless bump.

I think Property of a Lady will be more suitable for Bond 23 and Risico for Bond 24 now :(

And no POAL doesnt have to be related with Vesper or Camille etc. I have a great story in mind :)

I just can't imagine the conversation during promotional interviews:

JOURNO "So, we didn't understand Quantum of Solace despite being journalists and all three words being in English - what does Risico mean?"

DC: "Um..it means 'risk'. But foreigners talk funny, don't they? They pronounce some words wrong when it's in a language they're not fluent in. So it's a title that kinda references that."

JOURNO: "You're not serious?"

DC: "No, no, it's fine - Fleming came up with it. It's endearing and full of international flavour."

JOURNO: "It's xenophobic."

DC: "Oh, I wouldn't say that..."

Yeah. That's an easy one to sell globally. No problem.

Pointless in your eyes perhaps but we got a lovely comment from YOLt regarding Property of a lady. So did he see my comment and think hmmm you know i should post on this. Or was he going to anyways I don't know.

But unless u can prove to me yolt was gonna post about his ideas irregardless sorry Captain not pointless.

But it means nothing! It's a b@staardiation of an Italian word! Ask any Italian what "risico" means, and they'll probably look at you like you're stupid.
