I found the parallel between Licence To Kill and Quantum Of Solace . . . amusing
Am just hoping that Bond23 isn't going to be too much like TLD
I'd perfer that they went somewhere, where Bond hasn't been before. A snowy location for Mr Craig this time like Mongolia or Nepal.
And a break from the European locations - just for this film & the Carribean for that matter, would be cool as there's so many Asian counties he's not yet been to like Malaysia or Singapore.
And yes while I'm at it I'd like to promote Australia, Canada, and parts of the States he's not been to on screen yet. Chicago. Washington DC. Hawaii.
Even Mount Washington in Pittsburgh.
What? It's a pretty view!!

There's more than one Czech country?

Aren't there at least three or four?

Fair enough, I did mis-express myself.

Intelligence operatives, eh?

[Bryce (003)]

Quiet Jim - You'll blow my cover.

BTW - Yes, I did wire that money into your Jamaican account under that "sock charity" you started. We'll just keep that quiet.

*Looks at forum boards*

Awwwww crap.

If you're now determined to hunt me down, I'm in the third Oxfordshire - the one in Peru.

[Bryce (003)]

Well, that takes one off my list. Silly me...Booking a flight to the Oxfordshire in Mongolia...What was I drinking?...er...Thinking.

So...

Bond 23 in the middle east....

Carry on!

[The Ghost Who Walks]

Would be great to see Afghanistan used again. Maybe the producers read my numerous comments about The Living Daylights being a perfect inspiration for Bond 23, though I guess that is not very likely.

[Zorin Industries]

I would love to see Bond 23 called Risico.

Watch this space...

You know more than you're letting on old boy

Care to have a drink with me and discuss the particulars?

[Blofeld's Cat]

Most John Q Publics didn't know what the hell "quantum of solace" meant so imagine their reaction to the word "risico".

And most of them still went to the box office in their droves...

[pgram]

Haven't read risico, so 'puppies are also flowers' came to mind...

[Loomis]

Just because some geezer who works in Afghanistan may have acted as a consultant for Eon Productions, it doesn't mean that BOND 23 will be set wholly or even partly in that country.

[dee-bee-five]

I have no idea if this is true or not. But I hope it isn't. TLD has dated horribly - more than any other Bond - because of it's Afghan setting. I can't help feeling any new Bond film might suffer the same fate.

Yes. Just like the obscure title "Octopussy" kept 'em all away in their millions...

[DamnCoffee]

Semi-unrelated note, how does everyone pronounce Risico? Personally I say risīkoh

I've always thought it was pronounced that way. I believe Mickey G pronounced it Re see- ko. He also pronounced Solace with the long O.

And Marc Forster pronounced it with an even longer O.

Very true.

It also doesn't mean that it is Bond related story at all...(REMOTE CONTROL anyone?)

There will be a lot of these coat-tail stories emerging over the next few months...

[Royal Dalton]

Sounds good. I wonder who they'll get to play the heroin?

Ah, yes. I can't wait to see how REMOTE CONTROL shapes up. I'd be fascinated to find out what Broccoli and Wilson are capable of doing outside the Bond series.

[Quantumofsolace007]

well we are getting possible story elements which is good.

May the ridculous rumours begin



Would be interesting if we were all right and bond 23 is really Risico

[Zorin Industries]

"I thank you. I'll be here all week...!"

[dee-bee-five]

Rumour has it she's going to be the sister of QoS's Strawberry and called Poppy Fields...

[H.M.S Ark Royal]

Is James Bond Bound For Afghanistan?

Report hints that the drugs trade may figure into 'Bond 23'

Devil may care for Bond 23 ? Something between DMC and LALD...Yes very interesting !
Craig in Afghanistan like Dalton, I vote for !

Most John Q Publics didn't know what the hell "quantum of solace" meant so imagine their reaction to the word "risico".

I still don't understand why people gripe about Quantum of Solace's title being confusing. I saw the trailer back last May/June and my only reactions, in order, were

1. HELL YES NEW JAMES BOND
2. Wait, when did it say it was coming out again?

But then I typically just roll with things. I don't pay much mind to a title. A title is a title. It's the narrative that counts.

so long as it makes sense with in the film i'm fine with risico and so will others.

[danslittlefinger]

I would love to see Bond 23 called Risico.

I would rather see Bond 23 called ZENCAT than Risico. ZENCAT is at least more mysterious and evocative than Risico. That has to be one of the worst, dumbest, most lame titles for a Bond novel/film ever. Risico is a worserer title than Quantum of Solace.

And if this foreign office operative signed a contract forbidding him from talking, why is he telling the media that he's been consulting with EON?

Ay, there's the rub.

[Pierce - Daniel]

He hasn't. The Telegraph has found it out for themselves.

Media could've figured it out through other means or he may not have a full confidentiality contract. There've been actors in the past who've signed a contract with a studio and been allowed to say they're working with XYZ Company but they can't disclose anything about the project itself. Now of course this doesn't account for some of the more detailed information, but it could be a combination of the two. Money's still on Door #1 - Media done it themselves. Sometimes I swear they have the CIA on their payroll.
