Elsewhere on the board, a group of people have been working on creating a series of treatments - and we've decided to post them in the fanfic section for those of you who might not want to trawl through twenty two pages (at present) to read and throw in your thoughts. The good thing about this is that it's an interactive project - so you can influence how the projects go in the future.

I've posted all three current outlines - and when a mod authorises them, I assume they'll appear.

So far, we have:

Ultimate Bond 23: Talk of the Devil
Ultimate Bond 24: The Property of a Lady
Ultimate Bond 25: Choice of Weapons


Read - enjoy - comment!

I read TALK OF THE DEVIL about four minutes after it came on line.
A very solid piece. I enjoyed spotting the various homages to 007, past and present, though I found it overly action orientated. Nice humour.
I particularly liked M's line "Ah yes, Felix Leiter, I know the man.Next time you see him, ask him how his leg is." I could just imagine Dalton saying it!
I had no idea who most of the actors were in the credits. Could we have a proper closing credit/cast list so we know who is supposed to be playing who? Not sure about Lady Ga Ga as a Bond artist though.
I'll probably give it another read when I have more time, along with THE PROPERTY OF A LADY (ahhh, my favorite unused Fleming title... love to see what you guys have done with that one...)

Glad you enjoyed it - it was certainly a pleasure working with the other participants, hopefully it was a pleasure for them to participate. I'm sure you'll enjoy the subsequent two outlines - the third treatment is, I think, our finest hour out of the first three but we hope to better that in the subsequent three which will be a loose trilogy.

Here's the actual breakdown in the casting.

Stana Katic - Corinne Veneau (she's the girl from the end of Quantum of Solace, it's intended to be the same character)
Talulah Riley - Fleur
Ray Stevenson - Maxim Rusayev
Jeremy Renner - Costigan
Lorna Morgan - Titi
John Astin - Melendez
Rebecca Hall - Miss Moneypenny
Jesper Christensen - Mr White
Judi Dench - M
Timothy Dalton - M

I'll add onto terminus' cast list with some visual aids in case you didn't want to go looking around the 'net for good headshots. :)
