I say in Bond 23 we have Bond return to Mi6 after a well earned vacation. It is on his return we meet Moneypenny for the first time. We have a brief mention of Villiers. From here we go into a lot of the plot from Ian Fleming's Moonraker Novel. This would be good cause we can have Gala Brand introduced finally!! The only difference is the setting would be in the Caribbean and we can throw Felix in somewhere and further establish a friendship between he and Bond.
Seeing as there's a strong possibility that Jeffrey Wright may return for the role of Felix Leiter and in QoS

And I'm guessing they would have to find a new name or perhaps or just reinvent Hugo Drax. I say we leave in the card game from the book simply to pose Drax as a cheat (but cut out Bond getting partially drunk as a ploy) and later we figure out he is working for Quantum but not directly, more like in the way Le Chiffre was in CR. And for those who read the Moonraker novel we know how it ends. I think this would be a perfect way to start off Bond as the spy we know in Bond 23.
Any thoughts? Or anyone else have some ideas?
