Interesting location, terminus. Very good.

Here's my suggestion for Quinn's henchman. The background that I've come up with for him is that he's an agent who lost his wife at the hands of Mary Goodnight in one of her off-camera missions between "Choice of Weapons" and "Kaleidoscope", and decides to go after her. His investigation leads him to Quinn, who is recovering in a Quantum-run medical facility from her severe mental and physical issues after her last run-in with Bond. She agrees to help him eliminate Goodnight if he first helps her go after Bond, telling him that Bond can lead them to Goodnight. Shaw, seeing that she is in a similar position to his own, decides to team up with her.

This is all just background and doesn't necessarily need to be included in the treatment, but just serves as a basis for the idea behind the character. It also gives us a reason to have Bond travel to Goodnight's location without having to use the standard crossing-paths scenario with Bond happening to be assigned to a mission in the country she's working in.

Nice suggestions, chaps - got a feeling this might top even THR for awesomeness.

[SamuelKevlar]

Amazing how quickly we're cranking these things out.

So are we to assume from the presence of a Largo-esque figure that this isn't quite Quantum's final hour? Maybe the Head of Quantum will have to go it alone after this, like Blofeld after YOLT.

I'd imagine that the Largo-esque figure is more of the decoy villain behind the 'nuclear bomb' threat - a stepping stone to the Head of Quantum himself.

21 Villains Plot: A 'nuclear bomb' sort of movie (think Thunderball) - mixed in with Quantum declaring all out war on MI6.

22 Pre-Title Sequence Stunt: The gunbarrel opens onto smoke, covering everything. As it clears, we can finally make out, from a crane shot, Bond on the remains of his boat, cradling Yelena; she's dead. Another torpedo (it's revealed the first explosion was also a torpedo) comes racing through the waters to finish him off, and he has to abandon Yelena's body.

Jumping back into the ocean, he starts swimming quickly, finally grabbing onto an outcrop of rocks. Suddenly, a gunner boat slices through the water, guns blaring. Bond dives back down, grabs onto the back of the boat, and kills the motor; then, he swings himself onto the boat and turns all the mens' guns against themselves.

When they're all dead, another boat comes toward him, but he uses the first boat's guns to kill everyone on there, as well -- but not before getting struck in the shoulder by a round.

Now lying on the bottom of the boat, bloodied and stunned, Bond suddenly hears a ringing in his pocket; his waterproof phone is still on. He pulls it out; it's M:

M: "Bond, what the hell is going on?"
BOND: "I've -- we've -- been attacked."
M: "What? Who by? I-- no!"

Gunshots rattle at the other end, and the line goes dead. Bond's eyes show immediate concern, but there's no time for that -- he tosses his phone into the water.

As it sinks to the depths, we see that someone is tracking his phone...

Cut to the phone tracker; someone pulls off his headphones and says, "The line's been cut." His superior booms, "Trace the call; we've got to know where Bond is!" Turning to something offscreen, he mutters, "I'm afraid our men at MI6 were too hasty..."

Reverse shot, showing the carnage at MI6 headquarters; M and Moneypenny are both dead, their bodies lying fresh on the floors of their offices.

25 Major Stunt 3:
26 Finale Stunt: Everything has come down to this. And as you'd expect, it's not going to be easy. Quantum's undersea base, known as "Erehwon" ("nowhere" spelt backwards), is located near King George Island, in the Shrieking Sixties - the space between Antarctica and Tierra del Fuego. High winds, stormy seas and low temperatures make traditional forms of approach impractical, and Quantum have a sophisticated radar/sonar system that means vehicles will be unable to get near the base without them knowing about it. There is only one option: a stratospheric parachute jump.

Bond must ride a specially-designed balloon gondola to the very edge of space before leaping out from over 100,000 feet above the earth's surface. He will be in freefall for over five minutes as he hits speeds of close to 1000km/h, using the curvature of the earth to slingshot himself over King George Island. To complicate matters, he only has one shot at hitting his target - if he misses, he is as good as dead. In order to be on target, he must use a drouge, a small, perforated parachute that is designed to keep him stable. However, the drouge does not deploy properly and Bond starts drifting off-course. He must collapse the drouge (collapsing a parachute is about the most dangerous thing you can do in a parachute jump) and risk going into a flat spin at 200rpm (which would be fatal) to make sure he lands on-target. He successfully lands over King George Island, and is able to swim down to Erehwon.

As a result of Bond's actions, the underwater base starts flooding, and he chases after Our Villain, who beats him to a high-speed elevator shaft in the oil rig, the only way to safety. Bond's extraction plan is to use a Skyhook recovery system to escape, but he releases the helium-filled balloon in the elevator shaft. The extra-long tether (designed for the high seas outside) gets caught up in the mechanics, and Bond is pulled up the shaft. He is able to cut himself free and jump onto the elevator as the entire thing jams up. Our Villain climbs out to confront him and the two fight atop the elevator car as the shaft steadily floods.

Our Villain overpowers Bond momentarily, and takes the opportunity to leap onto the elevator couterweight directly opposite them before throwing a grenade at Bond. It is filled with a weaponised anaesthetic gas that stuns Bond, but he is able to throw it into the open elevator car before he succumbs to it. Weakened by the gas, he is preparing to throw a conventional grenade, but lets it fall into the elevator car. Our Villain thinks he's won, but Bond's grenade goes off, blowing the bottom of the elevator car into nothingness. Now freed of the weight of the car, the counterweight plunges back down the shaft, dragging Our Villain into the icy water below.

Now robbed of his one escape from Erehwon, a weakened Bond is able to get out of the elevator shaft where he finds Our Villain's personal submarine. And not just any submarine, but an old Soviet Akula-class monster. Bond is able to disengage the submarine from the upper levels of the oil rig and performs an emergency surface manoeuvre, which expels all the water from the submarine's ballast tanks at once. The submarine surfaces rapidly; so rapidly that it would normally leap out of the water like a dolphin when it surfaces. This being Antactica, however, there is a sheet of ice between Bond and the outside world. It offers little resistance to the Akula, bursting through the ice sheet before coming to land in the icy water, with the threat posed by Quantum finally over.

[terminus]

Oh, I'm eager to see what you come up with for the location, CT I really fancied using Antarctica in the treatment - I had it in the outline to my sequel for FQAC (at least, one version of the sequel outline used it) and was eager to see how we could write it in.

[coco1997]

I didn't notice; I'm sorry, Dave.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case, seeing as how you must have seen the most recent submission as posted by SamKevlar and edited mine out.

How about this: Your PTS suggestion and mine be combined into one? While Bond is on a mission in the present (my flying boat idea), he flashes back--a la CR--to the events immediately following the end of 'THE HILDEBRAND RARITY' (your PTS suggestion). Seeing as this is the last film of the Craig Era, it would serve as a nice homage.

Sound good?

[terminus]

I like it, coco1997 - that would certainly offer up both a kick OTT title sequence and a resolution to the previous films cliffhanger.



By the by - Mrblofeld, you can have another submission since I'm not counting your PTS submission as one. Count yourself lucky that coco1997 thought about an awesome reason to include your PTS idea

[Captain Tightpants]

Okay, it's been updated. Sorry it took me a while to write it.

[terminus]

Ooooh - let me go check.

EDIT: One word: Awesome Bit more than just a 'stunt' - but it's an amazing sequence. Me likey.

Works for me... but I didn't edit yours; it was blank when I'd copied it.

Again, I'm sorry, everyone. I ought to toe the line a little better.

[coco1997]

I'd also like to add that I think this is something that we NEED to use in 'SHATTERHAND'--it's simply too cool to pass up:

MORPHotel: A floating shape-changing luxury hotel

Conceptualized by Gianluca Santosuosso, the MORPHotel is a unique project that intends to develop a new luxury hotel concept where the user can live inside a floating system that keeps moving around the world. The MORPHotel is able to adapt its shape to the weather conditions and the site morphology, thanks to the linear structure developed around the vertebral spine.

The great thing about this remarkable hotel is that it's not locked down to any specific location; that is, we'd only need a locale situated somewhere near a body of water for it to be worked in. I can see the MORPHotel lending itself to some very cool espionage and action scene ideas.

[terminus]

I saw something about a new boat design too - so we could combine that into it as well. I don't think it'd work as a location somewhere cold (a la Amsterdam or Antarctica) but it'd need to be somewhere warm and tropical. Maybe the location in which Mary Goodnight is Station Chief?!

Just throwing an idea out there.

Just throwing an idea out there.

I've got an idea for an action sequence in mind involving Bond, Goodnight, Shaw, and Quinn that could be set in the MORPHotel and could also incorporate the boat idea as well if there's still an action sequence spot open when we go for round 2.

Nice work on finding that hotel, coco1997. That's a very cool-looking structure that would be perfect for a Bond film.

Lots of good stuff coming out here. Are we still going for ten people per turn, 'cause my fingers are itching.

Awesome - keep it in mind, I'm sure there'll be a stunt sequence open. Just remember - as I'm sure CT and coco1997 have born in mind regarding their sequences, we may need to alter them slightly to make them fit in with the plot.

This is the boat I mentioned: Awesome Boat

Lots of good stuff coming out here. Are we still going for ten people per turn, 'cause my fingers are itching.

It should be an amazing movie - very OTT. I'm still hoping for ten people, yes - we'll see how many we can pull in.

And not just any submarine, but an old Soviet Akula-class monster. Bond is able to disengage the submarine from the upper levels of the oil rig and performs an emergency surface manoeuvre, which expels all the water from the submarine's ballast tanks at once. The submarine surfaces rapidly; so rapidly that it would normally leap out of the water like a dolphin when it surfaces. This being Antactica, however, there is a sheet of ice between Bond and the outside world. It offers little resistance to the Akula, bursting through the ice sheet before coming to land in the icy water, with the threat posed by Quantum finally over.

19 Location 3:
20 Location 4: The Antarctic. Specifically - a hidden lair composed of sunken ships, oil rigs and submarines welded together. Almost a hodge-podge steampunk meets futuristic version of Atlantis (from TSWLM).

KEY PLOT POINTS

21 Villains Plot: A 'nuclear bomb' sort of movie (think Thunderball) - mixed in with Quantum declaring all out war on MI6.

22 Pre-Title Sequence Stunt: Bond has to infiltrate the fleet headquarters of an open-cockpit flying boat squadron to blow them up--one of the boats makes a getaway and Bond has to climb on board and stop it. The idea was taken from the recent unveiling of Iran's new war machines. (This would be a standalone PTS in the vein of MR, FYEO, or OP, i.e., not necessarily connected to the film's plot)

26 Finale Stunt: Everything has come down to this. And as you'd expect, it's not going to be easy. Quantum "Erewhon" undersea base is located near King George Island, in the Shrieking Sixties - the space between Antarctica and Tierra del Fuego. High winds, stormy seas and low temperatures make traditional forms of approach impractical, and Quantum have a sophisticated radar/sonar system that means vehicles will be unable to get near the base without them knowing about it. There is only one option: a stratospheric parachute jump.

Bond must ride a specially-designed balloon gondola to the very edge of space before leaping out from over 100,000 feet above the earth's surface. He will be in freefall for over five minutes as he hits speeds of close to 1000km/h, using the curvature of the earth to slingshot himself over King George Island. To complicate matters, he only has one shot at hitting his target - if he misses, he is as good as dead. In order to be on target, he must use a drouge, a small, perforated parachute that is designed to keep him stable. However, the drouge does not deploy properly and Bond starts drifting off-course. He must collapse the drouge (collapsing a parachute is about the most dangerous thing you can do in a parachute jump) and risk going into a flat spin at 200rpm (which would be fatal) to make sure he lands on-target. He successfully lands over King George Island, and is able to swim down to Erewhon.

As a result of Bond's actions, the underwater base starts flooding, and he chases after Our Villain, who beats him to a high-speed elevator shaft in the oil rig, the only way to safety. Bond's extraction plan is to use a Skyhook recovery system to escape, but he releases the helium-filled balloon in the elevator shaft. The extra-long tether (designed for the high seas outside) gets caught up in the mechanics, and Bond is pulled up the shaft. He is able to cut himself free and jump onto the elevator as the entire thing jams up. Our Villain climbs out to confront him and the two fight atop the elevator car as the shaft steadily floods.

Our Villain overpowers Bond momentarily, and takes the opportunity to leap onto the elevator couterweight directly opposite them before throwing a grenade at Bond. It is filled with a weaponised anaesthetic gas that stuns Bond, but he is able to throw it into the open elevator car before he succumbs to it. Weakened by the gas, he is preparing to throw a conventional grenade, but lets it fall into the elevator car. Our Villain thinks he's won, but Bond's grenade goes off, blowing the bottom of the elevator car into nothingness. Now freed of the weight of the car, the counterweight plunges back down the shaft, dragging Our Villain into the icy water below.

Now robbed of his one escape from Erewhon, a weakened Bond is able to get out of the elevator shaft where he finds Our Villain's personal submarine. And not just any submarine, but an old Soviet Akula-class monster. Bond is able to disengage the submarine from the upper levels of the oil rig and performs an emergency surface manoeuvre, which expels all the water from the submarine's ballast tanks at once. The submarine surfaces rapidly; so rapidly that it would normally leap out of the water like a dolphin when it surfaces.

It offers little resistance to the Akula, bursting through the ice sheet before coming to land in the icy water, with the threat posed by Quantum finally over.

5 Henchman: Dolph Lundgren as Shaw

Okay, the name "Shaw" should be banned. This is the third Shaw we've had since UB23 - there was Thalia Shaw in The Property of a Lady, whilst Elias Koteas was originally going to be a character named Shaw in another round before we talked it down for the same reasons. Call him Strand or Sinclair or Sultan or whatever, just not "Shaw".

And for a henchman, he sounds pretty bland. Isn't there anything or unusual about him to flesh him out and give terminus some more to work with?

[terminus]

Hmmmm. Don't know how that happened.

Mrblofeld, Rory Bremner? Really? I mean, seriously? That's a joke casting, right? I mean, really?


Re: 'Shaw' - this would make him the second, we dropped the name and used 'Mr Roberts' because it no longer fitted the character he had in mind. I'm not opposed to the name, but it might be better with a new one. Re: his character arc, I know that tdalton has a definite idea in mind for his sequence he's going to submit - so will see how that plays out. The character's a relatively minor player in the grand scheme of things, so I don't think a massive amount of information is required.

Tdalton did give him a very interesting back story in his initial posting. You must've missed it along the way.

Am quite excited about this is turning out - already know what my next submission is likely to be

Am changing casting choice to one that meets terminus's approval.

Have to say - it is a much better casting, in my opinion. I admit, I think Bremner was a very bad casting choice - especially for the role you had him picked as.

For those that don't know, Paul Higgins plays the role of Jamie in 'The Thick of It', he also played a major role in the rather lacklustre 'Hope Springs'. And he's Scottish - which was one of mrblofeld's major wants for the casting of the character. So I'm guessing the character is definitely Scottish then
