Wasn't there a story of Bond meeting Haynes and be shot By Mr White, like bond did to him in Casino Royale. the last shot of The movie being bond on the floor with blood around him.

That was speculation based on the photos of Mr White holding a gun. The common consensus now is that White was pointing the gun at Haines before Bond turns up.


Yes I remember hearing that Bond was supposed to die and the last shot would be Bond dead on the floor. It could have set up for an interesting novel TMWTGG style movie. It is more than likely White was pointing the gun at Haines.

Interesting, though I was thinking more of the end of FRWL, when Bond drops the to wine coloured floor after Klebb's kicked him in the shin.

Something like that might be a good way to end the Craig era, less clichéd than walking off into the sunset at least.

I heard this, too.

It would've been fantastic.

I'd still love to see this sort of thing done in a future film. This would make for an unforgettable ending.

Likely one of the best in Bond history, if done right.

Already been done - by Fleming himself, in FRWL. B)
