Glad you like it, coco1997.

I kinda agree with you CT, but I'm not sure how much further that it could be tied into the plot. The idea was that Rusayev stole it as part of his payment to give to Quantum for their services rendered during his plot - so, unfortunately, it isn't actually part of the main plot as such and I fear tacking it onto the plot in any further way could make the final revelation seem a bit odd.

I will post the UB24 proforma later today.

Ultimate Bond 23: Talk of the Devil

And with the production of 'Talk of the Devil' we've reached the end of the first round of the game with, what has ended up being, a pretty interesting movie. Now we go back to the beginning with an empty pro-forma and begin the process again - with the following change. We will retain Dalton as M - this is a sequel to the treatment that we've come up with.

The idea is that there are several fields that need to be filled in - everyone copies the list from the person before them, fills in ONEFIELD and posts their adjusted list. Over thirty people, the building blocks of a Bond movie will be formed.

If we get ten people having filled in - then we can go back and everyone can have one more selection. You do not need to fill the fields in in order.

In the case of items such as Bond Girl 1 - you get to pick both the name of the character and the actor.

For the sake of the project, as with 'Talk of the Devil', the title of the movie can be decided afterwards when everything else has been decided. Locations should be logical and sensible (no selection of 'the moon' this time, please) and stunts, and the villains plot, should avoid being tied to a specific location.

But here is the list. Here we go, I'll start us off:

KEY PLOT POINTS

17 Villain's Plot: James Bond investigates Hugo Drax, the owner of Drax Defence Engineering. Drax is tendering for Project Moonraker, a plan for the next generation of fighter jet. His proposal involves the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), a computer simulation that can produce prototypes so quickly and efficiently that it will reduce the nation's defence spending by as much as 80%. Drax plans to demonstrate CFD in use through his Drax Racing Grand Prix team, arguing that the ultra-competitive world of motorsport will showcase CFD's potential and allow him to work out the flaws in the system faster than any other medium. Bond is called in when one of Drax's engineers is murdered, and MI6 suspects a foreign power is attempting to get their hands on CFD. Bond, however, discovers that the CFD project is a sham and that Drax has been using electromagnets to sabotage the delicate electronics in his competitors' cars. Drax plans to run Project Moonraker into the ground, blowing out the budget exponentially, ruining the economy and forcing a change of government. (NB: the name Drax is a placeholder - if you have another name or a better name for the villain, include it and we can use it in Drax's place.)

CT - that's an awful lot of information, isn't it? And it actively effects at least two other categories that I can tell - (you've given the you've named the villain and dictated how some of the plot occur) - so have removed the reference to the name Drax and those elements that I believe infringe on how the plot develops, though have left the villains actual plan intact.

It's okay B) Rather people have lots of ideas and scale them back at this point than them have no ideas at all - besides which, you can always bring in other elements you've got in mind when it comes to putting together the treatment.

And just so people know, I've also messaged qwerty to ask that the thread title be changed to "Ultimate Bond (Ultimate Bond 24 Begins Pg 7)".

My addition in bold.

Also, CT and terminus, I put forward an actress and character name for a villain in the film. I had an idea for this character possibly being a higher-up in Quantum, but if it comes down to the plot necessitating Hugo Drax actually appearing as the chief villain, I think that we could possibly move her into the "henchman" category, for lack of a better place to put her, and then cast someone as Drax. My idea for the Juliana Faust character was to have her as one of the very higher-ups of Quantum, and someone that is just absolutely ruthless, which has helped her get to the top of such an organization at a relatively young age (at least so far in considering that most of the villainous organization leaders we've seen in the Bond films have been considerably older).

I figure the dead engineer is a semi-important plot point. The way I'm seeing it in my head, Bond investigates Faust as a victim first. MI6 suspect that someone is trying to get their hands on CFD, so Bond goes in unaware thar Faust is the one responsible for the engineer's death because he found out about the sabotage. I'm really just trying to give whoever writes the final treatment something specific that they can use (and because I can only write what I see in my mind's eye) to get the ball rolling because this plot outline is a lot more detailed than the previous one.

I understand what you're trying to say and appreciate the help your trying to lend to the end product. However, you chose to fill in the villain's plot - and the death of the engineer and Bond's reasons for commencing his investigation aren't part of the villain's plot, they're part of the overall plot and the direction of the movie which isn't the field that you filled in.

Great idea, tdalton. This series is long overdue for a truly memorable villainess (Octopussy and Elektra King don't count, in my book).


That's pretty much what my thinking was as well. I actually find it somewhat shocking that we haven't had a truly great character like that in a Bond film. We've had several great male villains, but the one attempt at a full-out female villain, Elektra, was such a disaster that it's hard to really even remember her as a villain when there's so many other great villains in the series. My hope for the villain I put in there would be that she would be such a ruthless villain that she might make even some of the more classic Bond villains, like Blofeld or Drax, think twice about crossing her.

Also, terminus, very nice job with the write-up for the last one. Just finished reading the entire thing, and it was very well done. B)

The villain is Juliane Faust, a defence contractor and owner of Faust Defence Engineering, who is submitting a tender for the development the next generation of fighter jet. Her proposal involves the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), a computer simulation that can produce prototypes so quickly and efficiently that it will reduce the nation's defence spending by as much as eighty percent. She plans to demonstrate CFD through her Grand Prix racing team, Faust Grand Prix Engineering and the JFX-01 racing car, arguing that the competitive world of motorsport will showcase the CFD process and allow her to iron out the flaws in the system faster than in any other medium. MI6 suspects a foreign power is attempting to hijack CFD for themselves. Bond, however, discovers that the plan to build the fighter jet is a sham - in order to prove the system's worth, Faust has been sabotaging the delicate electronics of her rivals' cars with powerful electromagnets. Faust plans to run the fighter jet project into the ground, blowing out the budget and ruining the economy of the United Kingdom.

Terminus, might I also suggest that we retain the BMW from "TOTD"? I think we should establish some continuity between the two stories in that regard, like we did by keeping Dalton as M.


I think keeping Dalton as M and Craig as Bond (and, presumably, Rebecca Hall as Miss Moneypenny and Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter, should those characters crop up) is enough to create a continuity. That's not to say Bond couldn't use a BMW in the movie should the person whoo fills in that section decide he does so.

Interesting gadget, Mr Blofeld.

Nice choice for the Main Bond Girl. Perhaps whoever decides to cast the third girl should pick a more exotic/international choice.

Is the third girl a hotel receptionist/ air hostess character or a villainess character ? B)

It could be anyone, really. Just someone who really has no bearing on the plot but is there for eye candy, a la Dink in "Goldfinger."

Agreed. Nice choice of Claire Foy. I thoroughly enjoyed her in Pulse and Little Dorrit and she'd make an excellent homegrown Bond girl. The third girl would be, yes, like the hotel receptionist and Valenka in Casino Royale or Corinne and Gemma (Mathis' girlfriend) in Quantum of Solace. In Ultimate Bond 23 ("Talk of the Devil") the tertiary Bond girl was the owner of a bar which Bond visited.

Wow. That sounds very extreme, quite painful and rather sadistic and not at all what I'd expect from Bond. It sounds like it belongs in a SAW film. I would not want to see a Bond film with something like this in it.

In his defense, I'm pretty sure it could be done without making it graphic or gory.

And, to be fair, it doesn't necessarily mean that Bond needs to be the one who uses it.

Still, it is a little gruesome for my tastes.
