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.
19 Major Action Sequence/Stunt 1: A shoot-out and cat-and-mouse chase through one of those very sterile computer/server buildings where Bond is trying to protect Mercedes Baines from a kidnap attempt by Quinn. Quinn makes her way through the the multi-story building eliminating anything in her path (in a very Terminator-esque kind of way) trying to get rid of Bond and capture Mercedes.

21 Major Action Sequence/Stunt 3: In a throwback to the films of old, Bond leads a group of Navy SEALs in the assault of a nightclub in Chicago in an attempt to capture Blanc. Although they are able to clean up most of Blanc's harem, they do not get Blanc himself and the assault spills over into an adjacent construction site. Bond and Quinn fight, and end up in a situation where the room (or possibly a pit of some kind) is rapidly filling with quick-drying cement. Bond is able to escape, but Quinn is pulled under. In the morning, she is found face-down in the solid concrete.
22 Finale Action Sequence/Stunt: It having come to pass that the reclusive Damien Blanc is an entirely compter-generated fiction, an online avatar insidiously and Zelig-like injected into visual media by the Ghost virus, a very modern celebrity, the source of the virus is tracked the Casamance separatists in Senegal. Bond and Mercedes try to pull the plug but are tracked through the river delta and have to deal with all sorts of natural nasties and various goons out to get them, culminating in a triple helicopter gunship attack on a tourist resort in which they take refuge.

I'm not familiar with them, coco1997, care to give an example of their work?
Will fiddle about with the bullet points, as per discussion, and repost to further discussion
Maybe someone has an idea for what can happen in San Diego - is there room for a LALD boat chase or a TMWTGG car chase at all? As, at present, we have lots of footchases and a tentative and abbreviated carchase in Oak Ridge, a sequence on a train in Spain - and not much other variation.

I'm sure that could work for the angle I'm picturing for Bond trying to locate Mercedes' mentor - though I'd pictured him as being the one who told Quantum about the computer programme. But yes, I'm sure we can work with that.

- New York - Bond infiltrates a meeting between a group of underworld thugs and senegalese rebels, the rebels are planning to buy weapons from the thugs. But Bond's identity is uncovered and his drink is laced with a drug cocktail, he tries to escape but collapses on the subway.
- Barcelona - Bond tries to live a normal life and, in doing so, commences a relationship with Lucia Rojos. They take a train journey which gets targetted by a fringe group of Basque terrorists but Bond stops the attack and saves the passengers, realising he can't live a normal life as he does so. It is suggested that the fringe group of terrorists have been armed by the same peoplpe who were involved in the deal to arm the fringe Senegalese rebels.
- MI6 - After Bond is cleared for return to active duty, M assigns him to a simple mission - prevent the abduction of Mercedes Baines, a computer programmer and person of extreme interest.
- Oak Ridge - Bond tries and fails to prevent the abduction of Mercedes Baines by Quinn. Quinn chases the pair through the buildings and campus after setting off the fire alarm, sprinklers and cutting the lights. Bond thinks he has saved Mercedes, but she is bundled into a car and he gives chase in the Lotus - only to loose them in a set-up traffic jam. Bond decides to travel to San Diego to meet with Mercedes' mentor, to understand what she was working on.
- San Diego - Meeting with Mercedes' mentor, Bond discovers that Mercedes was working on a method to hack the worlds online banking system using the Jaguar computer in Oak Ridge. However, it transpires (to us, but maybe not to Bond) that the mentor is the person who leaked the method to Quantum. Bond tries to flee the city in a glider - but the glider and Quinn, in a pursuing helicopter, enter a field of electricity pylons - amidst a thunderstorm - leading to the glider crashing. The mentor is assasinated, as a liability, by Quinn and Bond barely escapes with his life.
- Chicago - Evidence in San Diego points Bond to a shell company which holds offices in the Trump Tower. In the tower, Marcus oversees the construction and operation of a duplicate of the Jaguar. Bond, with the help of Felix Leiter, leads a team of Navy SEALS to the building and, although they rescue Mercedes and destroy the duplicate Jaguar, Quinn and Marcus escape. Also rescued is 'Damien Blanc' - or, at least, the actor that Quinn has hired to 'play' Damien Blanc. He doesn't know much, but he knows enough to help Bond and Mercedes to piece together what Quinn and Marcus were doing.
- Dakar, Senegal - Mercedes has knowledge that the duplicate Jaguar was used to syphon money from the worlds bank accounts in order to fund rebel Casamance seperatist actions in Senegal. Having tried to pull the plug in Chicago and failed, Bond and Mercedes travel there (she'd be the only one with the skills to return the money to the original accounts) and are tracked through a river delta with all sorts of nasties and goons out to get them and confront Quinn in a luxurious, but abandoned, resort - with a battle between three helicopter gunships.
- Epilogues -
i) Mercedes, who has never been attracted to Bond, though she appreciates his abilities and skills, walks off into the sunset.
ii) Quinn, who has killed Marcus and escaped the destruction of the resort in Senegal, makes a selection on the replacement of the person to 'play' Damien Blanc.
iii) Bond spies on Lucia as she goes about her daily life.

Quinn makes her way through the the multi-story building eliminating anything in her path (in a very Terminator-esque kind of way) trying to get rid of Bond and capture Mercedes.

21 Major Action Sequence/Stunt 3: In a throwback to the films of old, Bond and Felix Leiter lead a group of top CIA agents in the assault of a nightclub in Chicago in an attempt to capture Blanc. Although they are able to clean up most of Blanc's harem, they do not get Blanc himself and the assault spills over into an adjacent construction site. Bond and Quinn fight, and end up in a situation where the room (or possibly a pit of some kind) is rapidly filling with quick-drying cement. Bond is able to escape, but Quinn is seemingly pulled under. In the morning, only her clothes are found.
22 Major Action Sequence/Stunt 4: After Quinn's disappearance, Bond and Leiter go to a topless bar to relax and take the stress off their minds (this is all modestly presented, of course); upon soliciting one of the dancers and going into a corner booth with her, lights dim and another dancer comes out to distract Bond -- just as a black sack is pulled over Felix's head from behind, and he is pulled through the wall. Bond does not realize this until after the other dancer has performed, calling Felix's name and walking over to the now-empty booth... where a coded message sits, slowly decrypting to reveal Felix's location.
Bond immediately jumps into action, calling up MI6 and Chicago authorities, while Felix is finally unblinded to reveal he is out on the shores of Lake Michigan -- and it's the dead of winter. Quinn, though now with a disturbingly gray face, is alive, and rips off Leiter's pants; after telling him he should have known that "Monsieur Blanc" owns all the brothels around the Great Lakes, she tells her goons to drag him to the lake... and wait.
A small transmitter sewn into Leiter's coat eventually pinpoints the location before the decrypting message does; cross-cutting between technicians telling Bond through an earpiece that Leiter is moving, Bond's frantic drive to the location, and Quinn and her henchman peeling off eventually ends on Bond finding the coat... wrapped around a log caught on a sandbar.
Meanwhile, the final portion of the message decrypts, revealing Leiter to be several hundred feet to the north of where Bond is. Bond runs to Felix, but it's too late; Leiter's legs are completely frostbitten under the ice, and his body core temperature is dangerously low. As the Illinois state police rush to the scene, Bond finds a note stuffed into Felix's shirt: HE COULD HAVE USED SEA LEGS.
22 Finale Action Sequence/Stunt: It having come to pass that the reclusive Damien Blanc is an entirely compter-generated fiction, an online avatar insidiously and Zelig-like injected into visual media by the Ghost virus, a very modern celebrity, the source of the virus is tracked the Casamance separatists in Senegal.

CAST
1 Bond - Daniel Craig
2 Bond Girl 1 (Main ie Vesper/Camille): Ashley Greene as Mercedes Baines, an American computer programmer (name courtesy of Righty007, who related that this was an actual classmate of his--and I found it too perfect to pass up)
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: Jackie Earle Haley as Marcus (current holder of the "Damien Blanc" cover)
7 Villain: James Woods 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: Barcelona
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: San Diego, CA
15 Location 4: Chicago, USA
16 Location 5: Shores of Lake Michigan
17 Location 6: 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.
19 Major Action Sequence/Stunt 1: A shoot-out and cat-and-mouse chase through one of those very sterile computer/server buildings where Bond is trying to protect Mercedes Baines from a kidnap attempt by Quinn. Quinn makes her way through the the multi-story building eliminating anything in her path (in a very Terminator-esque kind of way) trying to get rid of Bond and capture Mercedes.
20 Major Action Sequence/Stunt 2: Bond must locate and extract a "High Value Individual" (someone important to his assignment, but not an enemy) fron San Diego before Blanc's people find him. Unfortunately, Blanc's people have a head start and Bond is forced to play catch-up. This culminates in a chase between Bond and the HVI in a glider and Blanc's people in a helicopter in a heavy storm that ends in a high-volatage electrical field (think of the final scene out in the desert in SE7EN for a sense of what we're aiming for here).
21 Major Action Sequence/Stunt 3: In a throwback to the films of old, Bond and Felix Leiter lead a group of top CIA agents in the assault of a nightclub in Chicago in an attempt to capture Blanc. Although they are able to clean up most of Blanc's harem, they do not get Blanc himself and the assault spills over into an adjacent construction site. Bond and Quinn fight, and end up in a situation where the room (or possibly a pit of some kind) is rapidly filling with quick-drying cement. Bond is able to escape, but Quinn is seemingly pulled under. In the morning, only her clothes are found.
22 Major Action Sequence/Stunt 4: After Quinn's disappearance, Bond and Leiter go to a topless bar to relax and take the stress off their minds (this is all modestly presented, of course); upon soliciting one of the dancers and going into a corner booth with her, lights dim and another dancer comes out to distract Bond -- just as a black sack is pulled over Felix's head from behind, and he is pulled through the wall. Bond does not realize this until after the other dancer has performed, calling Felix's name and walking over to the now-empty booth... where a coded message sits, slowly decrypting to reveal Felix's location.
Bond immediately jumps into action, calling up MI6 and Chicago authorities, while Felix is finally unblinded to reveal he is out on the shores of Lake Michigan -- and it's the dead of winter. Quinn, though now with a disturbingly gray face, is alive, and rips off Leiter's pants; after telling him he should have known that "Monsieur Blanc" owns all the brothels around the Great Lakes, she tells her goons to drag him to the lake... and wait.
A small transmitter sewn into Leiter's coat eventually pinpoints the location before the decrypting message does; cross-cutting between technicians telling Bond through an earpiece that Leiter is moving, Bond's frantic drive to the location, and Quinn and her henchman peeling off eventually ends on Bond finding the coat... wrapped around a log caught on a sandbar.
Meanwhile, the final portion of the message decrypts, revealing Leiter to be several hundred feet to the north of where Bond is. Bond runs to Felix, but it's too late; Leiter's legs are completely frostbitten under the ice, and his body core temperature is dangerously low. As the Illinois state police rush to the scene, Bond finds a note stuffed into Felix's shirt: HE COULD HAVE USED SEA LEGS.
22 Finale Action Sequence/Stunt: It having come to pass that the reclusive Damien Blanc is an entirely compter-generated fiction, an online avatar insidiously and Zelig-like injected into visual media by the Ghost virus, a very modern celebrity, the source of the virus is tracked the Casamance separatists in Senegal. Bond and Mercedes try to pull the plug but are tracked through the river delta and have to deal with all sorts of natural nasties and various goons out to get them, culminating in a triple helicopter gunship attack on a tourist resort in which they take refuge.

Nice addition, Matt! Good to see you back around here. Hopefully you can be more involved with the next two editions.
Shores of Lake Michigan are essentially part of Chicago so it doesn't really need to be considered its own location, though. And although the idea of Felix losing his legs again in the film series will probably be controversial, this is a reboot and Felix was attacked by sharks twice in the literary universe so I suppose it would work.

It's been years since I visited this site - dropped out before Pierce even left the role, if memory serves. The hullabaloo regarding MGM has lured me back to check on you fine folk and this thread is by far the most interesting thing I've found. It's remarkable how you always manage to form a story out of so many disparate ideas. What follows is my little contribution. I definitely intend to be more involved with the next round.

And that's the proforma filled!
Glad we could tempt you to take part, Kevlar - and thanks for the praise about the thread. I'm very proud about what we've produced and I look forward to seeing you contribute and help the treatments gestate in the future.
Now all we need to do is build everything up together into a properly fleshed out outline.

Directed by Kar Wai Wong
Written by Joe Carnahan, Brian Bloom & Skip Woods with David Wolstoncroft
- Barcelona - Bond tries to live a normal life and, in doing so, commences a relationship with Lucia Rojos. They take a train journey which gets targetted by a fringe group of Basque terrorists but Bond stops the attack and saves the passengers, realising he can't live a normal life as he does so. It is suggested that the fringe group of terrorists have been armed by the same peoplpe who were involved in the deal to arm the fringe Senegalese rebels.
- MI6 - After Bond is cleared for return to active duty, M assigns him to a simple mission - prevent the abduction of Mercedes Baines, a computer programmer and person of extreme interest.
- Oak Ridge - Bond tries and fails to prevent the abduction of Mercedes Baines by Quinn. Quinn chases the pair through the buildings and campus after setting off the fire alarm, sprinklers and cutting the lights. Bond thinks he has saved Mercedes, but she is bundled into a car and he gives chase in the Lotus - only to loose them in a set-up traffic jam. Bond decides to travel to San Diego to meet with Mercedes' mentor, to understand what she was working on.
- San Diego - Going to meet with Mercedes' mentor, Bond discovers that Mercedes was working on a method to hack the worlds online banking system using the Jaguar computer in Oak Ridge. However, it transpires (to us, but maybe not to Bond) that the mentor is the person who leaked the method to Quantum). The mentor is 'kidnapped' which results in Bond and Felix breaking in to an abandoned power station on the outskirts of the city. Quinn has abandoned the station. Bond tries to flee the station with the mentor in a glider - but the glider and Quinn, in a pursuing helicopter, enter a field of electricity pylons - amidst a thunderstorm - leading to the glider crashing. The mentor is assasinated, as a liability, by Quinn and Bond barely escapes with his life.
- Chicago - Evidence in San Diego points Bond to a shell company which holds offices in the Trump Tower. In the tower, Marcus oversees the construction and operation of a duplicate of the Jaguar. Bond, with the help of Felix Leiter, leads a team of Navy SEALS to the building and, although they rescue Mercedes and destroy the duplicate Jaguar, Quinn and Marcus escape. Also rescued is 'Damien Blanc' - or, at least, the actor that Quinn has hired to 'play' Damien Blanc. He doesn't know much, but he knows enough to help Bond and Mercedes to piece together what Quinn and Marcus were doing. Leiter is kidnapped and thrown into the lake - loosing his leg due to hypothermia, he is put into intensive care at a nearby hospital whilst Bond and Mercedes must continue the investigation alone.
- Dakar, Senegal - Mercedes has knowledge that the duplicate Jaguar was used to syphon money from the worlds bank accounts in order to fund rebel Casamance seperatist actions in Senegal. Having tried to pull the plug in Chicago and failed, Bond and Mercedes travel there (she'd be the only one with the skills to return the money to the original accounts) and are tracked through a river delta with all sorts of nasties and goons out to get them and confront Quinn in a luxurious, but abandoned, resort - with a battle between three helicopter gunships.
- Epilogues -
i) Mercedes, who has never been attracted to Bond, though she appreciates his abilities and skills, walks off into the sunset.
ii) Quinn, who has killed Marcus and escaped the destruction of the resort in Senegal, makes a selection on the replacement of the person to 'play' Damien Blanc.
iii) Bond spies on Lucia as she goes about her daily life.

Two things:
1) I'm still not sold on this "Bond trying to live a normal life", largely because it's without any provocation. Why on earth is he abandoning the spy life? Is it because of what happened in New York City?
2) Wasn't Quinn killed off in Chiagao when she got trapped in a room flooded with quick-drying cement?

It was dropped so that Quinn would be the true villain (and she'll be kept for UB27) and also because the dying in cement idea was used in UB25.

What he said.
I'm imagining that Bond doesn't really begin to ponder leaving the service and living a normal life until Lucia walks into his life and he starts to feel things for her - given he ultimately considers the reason for his playboy lifestyle is that all the women he is seen to truly care about end up dying (Vesper most importantly - with Thaila almost suffering the same fate in TPOAL) he would need to leave the service in order to be with her.
I'd also like to bring in Mr White and have a comment about the 'misendeavours in the Far East' (ie, the previous three films) have 'depleted our finances'. This scene would take place towards the beginning of the movie, possibly preceeding or during the first batch of MI6 moments, and take place at an unspecified but foreign location - and would set-up Quantum/Quinn kidnapping Mercedes Baines to get the computer programme in order to build their finance levels.
Something I'd like to ponder (given that Blanc is the French for White iirc) is whether the 'Mr White' moniker is just a codename, like Damian Blanc. I'd be interested in killing Mr White off in the middle film of the trilogy - in order for a replacement Mr (or Miss) White to take up the mantle in the third and final film.
Mr White's death could be part of the sequence featuring all three Double-Oh operatives - it seems a suitably 'BIG' event that we could set up an entire action sequence around it.
I've also got a kick idea for the plot of the next film - which would tie in with CT's concept for a religious villain, possibly.

Interesting to hear your ideas regarding Mr. White's return. I was wondering why he was in the credits. Although Jesper Christensen has proven himself to be a pretentious douchebag concerning his views on the Bond series, this is fantasy after all, so I guess we can use him as much as we please.
Regarding your idea to make 'Mr. White' a codename--perhaps the Head of Quantum© could be the final 'heir' to the title in UB28? And, as some have hypothesized, perhaps the head could, in fact, be a woman? I have a great actress in mind but I'll wait to see how UB27 plays out.
It seems to me Harmsway, Tightpants and The Shark have provided enough material to flesh out the entire PTS--just have to figure out how to cleverly include Rusty Shafts in the sequence.

Also - random idea, given we're doing a tip of the head to LALD in the Chicago strip-club sequence, is it possible we could have a singer on stage singing a version of the themetune as it happens? Like how Bond was kidnapped when the woman was singing 'Live and Let Die'?
Not sure about 'Mr White' being the codename of the Head of Quantum - I imagine it being the 'codename' of the 'First Lieutenant', not the Head (him or herself).

I'd like to see a little moment at the end with Bond-Leiter, as well, with Leiter hobbling back into service, in an advisory capacity, on prosthetic legs and a pair of Lofstrand crutches; Bond sees him, and Leiter thanks him.
In the next movie, I'd like to see him use a cane and some of those “Cheetah” running legs in pursuit of a baddie; just to see how awesome an "actionized" version of Fleming's Leiter can be...

Lol - we're going to need a LOT of epilogues unless we can manage to merge some of them or put some of them in JUST dialogue.

I can see it in between the Mercedes and Quinn epilogues; the Lucia epilogue is set up at the end of the Leiter epilogue by Bond saying to Leiter, "I have a... slightly more personal matter to take care of" as he looks subtly, but longingly, at a computer screensaver of a photo of Lucia and him together (we see it being taken earlier in the film).
In my view, the final epilogue goes something like this: We start from above a small Spanish village, then cut down to Lucia buying some fruit in a marketplace; we refocus on a higher angle, where Bond, standing alongside his parked Aston Martin on a road above the village, is looking at her through a single riflescope, separated from the rest of the mechanism. Lucia suddenly gets a chill; she looks up, but only the car is there. Breaking free of her sudden distraction, she turns and continues cheefully conversing with the street vendor; cutting to above, Bond is back in his car. He shuts the scope back into his specially-made under-dashboard compartment, turns the key in the ignition, and drives up the road; from a view adjacent to the hill, we tilt up from the Aston revving offscreen to the cluster of trees behind, to the bluest of blue skies, and, finally, into the sun, continuing to shine on this scene of life, before fading, slowly, to black -- and credits.

Oh that IS excellent mrb - exactly how I was imagining it.
Did anyone see Knight & Day? Maybe Bond's set up something just like Tom Cruise's character did in that with his parents - motion detectors/webcams routed thruogh to his iPhone.

Another cool idea, terminus. I like the idea of keeping Felix out of UB27 but then bringing him back for the 'big finish' in UB28.Oh that IS excellent mrb - exactly how I was imagining it.

Also, in using Goodnight and potentially Mr. White in UB27, we already have those fields filled, so that leaves one space open for Henchman and Ally each.

For the record, I still think this should be the last Quantum story. We've over-used them. Maybe we can come back to them circa UB29 or something, but I just think Bond needs to face threats outside of Quantum. Otherwise it jsut gets stale.

Well - as we've stated several times, UB26, UB27 and UB28 are planned, before discussion even began using the proforma, as a trilogy to close off the DC UB Era. Quantum was part of that closure, so we're building up towards the end of Quantum.

I think things will fall into place nicely from here on out, providing people are willing to participate, because we've set some things up well for the final two editions. I'd certainly hope you wouldn't refrain from taking part in UB27 and UB28 because you don't approve of Quantum being involved, Captain.
Also, CT, how did you imagine using the Spark Suit in the story?

Yes - we've got some great building blocks in place for UB27 and UB28 already. We know, for example, Mary Goodnight will be in them both - as a Double-Oh in UB27, and Head of Station for Country X in UB28. The Double-Oh Section is, outside Bond, decimated in UB27 so UB28 will see M and Bond having to consider the appointment and selection of at least two new Double-Oh operatives.
'Mr White' may die in UB27 - with his replacement as 'Mr White' being the 'minor villain' in UB28 with the Head of Quantum (glimpsed in UB27) finally unveiled and defeated. Lucia Rojos from UB26 may or may not appear in the denuouement of UB28 (there's a seed in my head for it, but the pieces are in place in the UB26 outline).
I have a plot for the villain in mind for UB27 (and the title 'The Hildebrand Rarity' would be perfect for it) - and was discussing with coco1997 that I hope the villains plot in UB28 is something more on the lines of a 'stolen nuclear bomb', though not a Thunderball/Octopussy remake, as I feel that is what the final part of the trilogy needs: Bond meets Sum of All Fears.
I had a wacky OTT idea for who the Head of Quantum could turn out to be - but not sure whod play the role and not sure whether it's even a good idea.

I think my issue with repeatedly using Quantum is that we're not closer to understanding who is behind it all. Quinn, Faust, Krause; they're all just Greene-esque villains. Middle maangement. They're clearly answering to someone, and we need to see that someone in action. Look at the Age of Connery - SPECTRE might have been a constant throughout the films, but Bond worked his way up through Kronsteen and Klebb to Largo and Blofeld. It's getting a bit stagnant when it's just so static like this.
