Oh my - Harmsway - that was brilliant. I can imagine that having a perfect segue into the title sequence that was suggested.

Are you imagining this Quinn character as a mix between May Day and Miranda Frost, tdalton? That sort of relationship to the villain and the character?

[tdalton]

Are you imagining this Quinn character as a mix between May Day and Miranda Frost, tdalton? That sort of relationship to the villain and the character?

In a general sense, something like that. The way I see the character is a very menacing character whose allegiance is never in question, unlike the May Day and Frost characters (both switched sides at some point in their respective films). In my mind, Quinn's clearly on the side of the villains and is one half of a duo (along with Blanc) that presents Bond with a very unpredictable tandem of villains unlike anything he's had to deal with before.

[terminus]

Right - that matches roughly how I was interpreting her. I was kinda picturing the workout scene in AVTAK between May Day and Zorin where they're beating the crap out of each other but then it turns very seductive in an instant - and you just knew there was some distinctly adult extracurricular activities going on. So, essentially - what we're looking at with Quinn is May Day as she was before Jenny's death.

Sounds like we're pretty much on the same page with this character.

The only thing that I might add is that I kind of see the duo of Quinn and Blanc to be like a team of villains in a similar way to Grant and Klebb serving as a formidable duo of villains for Bond in FRWL (although Quinn's part requires much more physicality than Klebb's role in that film did, obviously ).

I'd also like to make a suggestion for how the plot could play out, since we've been openly discussing it:

Blanc is planning to take control of a theoretical computer that will give him unprecedented access to the world. Every electronic transaction is protected by public key cryptography, which is essentially an incredibly large number. In order to access the transaction, you need the private keys, two numbers which factor together to form the public key. The alternative is to factorise every possible combination of numbers to get the public key, which would take a supercomputer millions of years just to break a single transaction. This has been the lynchpin of electronic commerce for thirty years. The computer the villain is seeking is capable of narrowing this timespan down dramatically - in the space of a week - which would allow him unprecedented access to every single electronic transaction that will ever be made, and there is nothing that can stop it or him. He uses groups like Anonymous, social networking sites that steal personal information, MMORPGs that far gold, etc. to gather the resources neccessary to take control of the supercomputer; for example, he needs thorium for its superconducting properties.

Also, tdalton, fantastic submission for henchwoman. I loved Melanie in "Inglourious Basterds".

And terminus, did you see my suggestion that you combine "Theme Tune Performer" and "Theme Tune Writer" into one space?

I think that this would be an excellent premise for a film. The endgame for the villain here ties in very well with Quantum's statement of "we have people everywhere", which would be infinitely true if our villain (and, by extension, Quantum) had access to every single electronic transaction. I really like how it allows for the villain to have a expansive scheme, as this would be something that would most likely severely impact the economy worldwide, while also being something we really haven't seen covered in a Bond film before.

[terminus]

Oh, no, I didn't see that, coco1997. Must've missed it.

Also - very much intrigued by that plot. Perhaps it's the computer at Oak Ridge they need access to?

[Captain Tightpants]

this would be something that would most likely severely impact the economy worldwide

That's an understatement. It wouldn't severely impact the global economy, it would annihilate it - if word got out. If it was known that such a computer existed, it would force everyone to go back to pencils and paper. We could even call it THE HILDEBRAND RARITY, where the Hildenbrand Rarity is a theoretical (and fictional) concept in computing, the point where a supercomputer could start factorising numbers at a rate that would make it feasible (ie not taing eternity to crack one).

terminus, if you like this idea, you could add it to the plot and scratch my last submission (Dakar).

[coco1997]

I don't see why you can't have both, since one is a new location idea and the other is merely an extrapolation of the plot.

[terminus]

Agreed - you can have both, this is an extrapolation of the plot and we're all discussing it and prompting ideas. So this new supercomputer that Oak Ridge are presumably building would put even the Jaguar to shame.

HOPE I DID THIS RIGHT GUYS....

Edited by chrisno1, 27 September 2010 - 09:46 PM.

[coco1997]

You did it right, but you should also include a name for the girl like terminus and I did for our Bond girl submissions, unless you wouldn't mind lending the name Veritta Balen to this fan fic, too.

[chrisno1]

Certainly not! She's copyrighted! And very special to me....
How about LUCIA ROJOS...

I'll edit it in.

[terminus]

I missed the two girl submissions - very good, Mercedes Baines and Lucia Rojos. Am thinking that Mercedes Baines could be the character who Bond meets in Oak Ridge, perhaps she has developed the program that could crack the worlds bank accounts that CT has been postulating - she's based out of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (because of the Jaguar) and Bond is dispatched to stop someone kidnapping her, unaware of what she's developing at the time, but only aware, after his close call with death in the PTS (this might mean shifting Oakland up to the first major post-PTS location but we've set a precedent for that in earlier UB entries), that she's a person of extreme interest to MI6 due to her computer programming background.

Maybe Bond actually appears to have stopped her being kidnapped, then they try and pursue the kidnapper (possibly Quinn?) only for her to eventually be kidnapped anyway - which would segue into the rest of the film, perhaps?

Also - have hit on a bloody amazing special event Ultimate Bond to do after UB28 has been completed, which should lead us up to and finish c. Christmas.

PS - welcome to the game, chrisno1, have some fun.

That works, too.

[tdalton]

I could see a kidnap attempt on the Bond girl being quite a harrowing scene in the film. Maybe set it in one of those really sterile-looking, all-white computer buildings (somewhat cliche, I know) and have Bond trying to get the girl out of the building while Quinn is chasing them, almost like something out of a Terminator movie, with her eliminating everything that gets in her way with the chase unfolding into a cast-and-mouse game where Bond and the girl are constantly trying to hide from Quinn who is making her way through the building with chilling efficiency.

[coco1997]

Terminus, I might suggest that the pro forma may not need three separate slots for gadgets. One or two would probably be good enough.

[Captain Tightpants]

Yeah, but you'd need an angle to make Quinn scary. I hear "Quinn" and I think of Diana Argon in Glee (awesome show not withstanding). You need an angle, something that makes her really chilling. Something to give the audience a sense that she can hurt Bond and the girl.

I'd suggest making her a Romanian orphan who got rehabilitated by Blanc. When the Iron Curtain was finally pulled back, aid workers going into Romania found all these horrifying orphanages along a remote stretch near the Hungarian border. Nicolae Ceausescu had two policies that led to this: self-sufficiency and prosperity. To be self-sufficient, he attempted to clear Romania's foreign debt, which he did by selling all their grain stocks. Romania had no debt, but it also had no food. The prosperity policy was the opposite of China's One Child policy - Ceausescu encouraged women to have large families of eight or nine children. You can see how these two ideas sound good, but conflicted: there was already a lack of food in the country and families were two or three times the size the might normally be, putting even greater strain on resources. The only solution for many families was to send their children to orphanages, many of which were run like farms. Children were simply taken in, and the conditions were atrocious. Many babies learned that their cries would go unanswered, which limited their social development. Many children became 'black holes', unable to tolerate normal social interactions and completely incapable of processing emotions. Others simply couldn't stop rocking back and forth on the spot. When aid workers finally cracked some of the more notorious places - like Cighid - many of the children recoiled at sunlight because they had never seen it. It was completely alien to them.

So, I'd suggest Quinn could be a former Romanian orphan who was adopted by Blanc and rehabilitated. She is, however, clearly out of sync with space and time. It is implied that she has a sexual relationship with Blanc, who rescued her from the orphanage purely for that reason, though he is not a pedophile; rather, he simply took care of her so that she would only ever trust him implicitly regardless of circumstance. An he would genuinely care about her well-being, too.

[coco1997]

That has the makings of a really interesting dynamic between those two characters. Well done, Captain.

[tdalton]

Yeah, but you'd need an angle to make Quinn scary. I hear "Quinn" and I think of Diana Argon in Glee (awesome show not withstanding). You need an angle, something that makes her really chilling. Something to give the audience a sense that she can hurt Bond and the girl.

I'm willing to give the character a name change if need be if it's decided that it's necessary.

While it's a guarantee that will probably be met with with some general skepticism, the character in that show had no bearing on the character receiving the name. Naming characters isn't necessarily a strength for me (at least within the time constraints one has when trying to get to the thread in time to make the desired suggestion to the project), with character descriptions and/or backgrounds being something I feel I'm better at.

My thought process on the name was one where I wanted to avoid the cliched type of names, where the name is basically an innuendo of some sorts (not that there's anything wrong with those types of character names. The franchise is practically built on them, after all ), but I also wanted to get something that wasn't very common either (in doing some research on it, it's not a particularly common name for females), but at the same time wasn't particularly exotic either.

I do agree that the character needs some kind of background, and if it's OK with terminus I'll come up with a more extensive background and post it in the thread (and will do the same for the villain if it's deemed appropriate). I wasn't sure how much to put out there since it seemed like we might have gone into a bit too much detail in some aspects of the elements in the last round.

[Captain Tightpants]

Oh, I'm not saying you need a name change. I was just pointing out that she needed a backstory, that's all.

[terminus]

I'm happy with an extended background - just not TOO much - as long as it doesn't impinge on the freedom of developing the plot.

[coco1997]

Still lots of spaces open for action sequences, folks.

That's a cool location, Dave, but the only problem is that it doesn't seem to accommodate the PTS action sequence that Harmsway submitted.

[terminus]

Cool location - so we've got our PTS pieces to put together, ladies and gentlemen, it must somehow involve the New York Subway and the drugging and hallucinogen from the PTS stunt - perhaps in an attempt to escape the lowlifes who've drugged him, Bond tries to escape into the subway but gets trapped and shot on a near-empty subway train? This segues into our title sequence which, using the covers of the books as inspirations, does a DAD and CR and forms part of the story by showing Bond's hallucinations.

Maybe, after the PTS, the movie-proper could open (and this doesn't need to be someone's location choice) in a Shrublands-esque institution where Bond comes round from his hallucinogen induced coma. Think of the opening of TMWTGG where Bond is drugged and brainwashed, but is pushed into recuperation by M and then handed an 'easy ticket' to handle Scaramanga - the 'easy ticket' in this situation would be M sending Bond to stop the scientist, presumably Mercedes Baines, from being kidnapped.

3 Bond Girl 2 (Minor ie Solange/Fields): Natalia Paris as Lucia Rojos (Colombian model, I am a great believer in the exotic Bond girl, she was the basis for Veritta Balen in my FanFiction, she probably can't act, but when was that ever a requirement for a Bond girl?) not necessary to have significance to the story, but possibly ought to be the sacrifical lamb
4 Bond Girl 3 (Background Girl): Dita Von Teese as Rusty Shafts (I'm imagining taking advantage of Dita Von Teese's background as a burlesque dancer in some fashion, the name specified would be her stage name - this might lead to a joke, it might not)
5 Henchman: Melanie Laurent as Quinn (Damien Blanc's top associate, who acts as his closest advisor and is a key part of his combat operations. Also may or may not be in a relationship with Blanc)
6 Henchman 2:
7 Villain: Jackie Earle Haley as Damien Blanc (aka "The Ghost", a cyber-criminal who leads expansive cyber-operations for Quantum and is virtually uncatchable because of his ability to change his appearance)
8 M - Timothy Dalton
9 Miss Moneypenny - Emily Blunt
10 Ally 1: Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter


LOCATIONS
11 Pre-Titles Location: New York Subway
12 Location 1:
13 Location 2: Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA (Specifically the Oak Ridge National Laboratory which supposedly has the worlds most powerful computer, the Jaguar, which I could imagine being tied into the plot quite easily. I can imagine a very suspense driven sequence in which Bond (and possibly one of the Bond girls) has to pursue one of the villains/henchmen round the streets around the ORNL - think of the London Victoria (?) scene in Bourne Ultimatum for an example of what I'm imagining - PLUS the ORNL was a pioneer in the field of molten salt reactors, if we decide to go down that route).
14 Location 3:
15 Location 4: Chicago, USA
16 Location 5: Dakar, Senegal

KEY PLOT POINTS

17 Villain's Plot: Not fully defined. However - it's Bond vs. the internet (as much as TWINE was Bond vs Oil Companies and TND was Bond vs The Media). There's plenty of material here: groups like Anonymous that exist without shape or form until they carry out their activities, social network sites that steal personal information, MMORPGs that engage in gold farming, betting syndicates that start manipulating the outcomes of everything from cricket matches to election results, etc.

18 Pre-Title Sequence Action Sequence/Stunt: An intense, intimate fistfight/gun battle in a gambling den. Bond, who has unfortunately ingested a hallucinogen, has to fight off a group of lowlife thugs as the mind-altering drugs gradually takes effect and he struggles to keep himself aware, seeing nightmarish phantoms and strange visions everywhere he turns. At the end of fight, as Bond begins to lose his struggle, one of the shadows takes the appearance of Vesper. She points a gun at him and fires. In reality, it's one of the thugs with a handgun. They leave Bond for dead, lying in a pool of his own blood.

[coco1997]

Now that we have our PTS location, I've had a thought about how Rusty Shafts AKA Dita Von Teese's character would be worked in: Have her working as a dancer at a seedy burlesque club (a possible nod to "LALD") and serving as Bond's contact in NYC. I picture her character a bit like Saida from "TMWTGG". Something goes awry between and the fistfight/gun battle ensues which leads into into the NYC subway.

[terminus]

Cool! I saw her in a similar role, but somewhere in the Chicago section, so I could see the gambling den being part-gambling den, part-burlesque club. Maybe she gets killed, or maybe she escapes and finds Bond at the close of the PTS alongside a squad of NYC policemen.
