As an experiment - we're taking a side-trip for the next few Ultimate Bond's. Not continuing on from ULTIMATE BOND 28, we're going to go back in time and create fictional 'missing' films, filling in the gaps between the existing movies in years where no official Bond film exists.

The first of these gaps, and thuse the first side-trip, occurs with Sean Connery after Thunderball and before You Only Live Twice. The proforma, as you will see, has changed - there are certain fields that are dictated because of the year the film would be made.

With casting, setting and plot/action sequences, please try to make them as historically accurate as possible. And please don't use Blofeld in the villain field - his use in the film, if indeed he is used, doesn't need to be part of the proforma.


1962 - Doctor No
1963 - From Russia With Love
1964 - Goldfinger
1965 - Thunderball
1966 - ULTIMATE CONNERY 1
1967 - You Only Live Twice


0 Title - TBC (to be decided by the group)

1 Bond - Sean Connery

2 Bond Girl 1 (Main ie Pussy Galore/Kissy): Eartha Kitt as Miss Silhouette - Helga Brandt meets May Day. Miss Silhouette is involved with the villain (possibly his mistress if the villain is a man) but turns traitor at the end of the film to help Bond.

So I presume that we're going to ignore the fact that in 1966 EON would still realistically be using Fleming titles and storylines? And these alternate history films have to be fairly stand-alone and limited in their consequences, so as not to influence the canon films that followed after.

14 Location 2: The DDR, particularly East Berlin and even more particularly the Berlin Wall.

Yes - these will be, more or less, standalone films with very little impact on the subseqeunt movies - more or less like most films in this era of Bond. If we were being correct, we would be using a Fleming title and adapting a novel - but we've only got Risico left out of the original Fleming titles to use, and we can't adapt a plot.

The best we can hope for is a title culled from the Fleming chapter titles, and a plot that at least fits in with the films of the period.

And East Germany - what an interesting location to use. I've been reading a book called The Darkling Spy which has a sequence that could influence the East German segment - but will keep that to myself until we've got more pieces in place so I don't influence anyone untowardly.

You know, this location made me realize that Connery was the only Bond (not counting Danny) who never had a snowy locale in any of his films. Could a ski sequence be in order? Hopefully, as I already have a nifty gadget in mind.

[terminus]

I'm working a plot out in my head - so hopefully that field will still be open when it comes time for our second turn.

I like that we've got a couple of European locations - I wonder what other locations people will submit.

A ski sequence would be cool - but would that be possible at St. Moritz during the Summer months?

I will say what I said to mrblofeld when he told me what he was going to submit - THAT is some bloody brilliant casting.

If we are to use Zographos, then we must use the line Fleming attributed to him in his notebook:

“It was like this, Mr Bond.” Zographos had a precise way of speaking with the thin tips of his lips while his half-hard half-soft Greek eyes measured the reaction of his words on the listener… “The Russians are chess players. They are mathematicians. Cold machines. But they are also mad. The mad ones forsake the chess and the mathematics and become gamblers. Now, Mr Bond.” Zographos laid a hand on Bond`s sleeve and quickly withdrew it because he knew Englishmen, just as he knew the characteristics of every race, every race with money, in the world. “There are two gamblers… the man who lays the odds and the man who accepts them. The bookmaker and the punter. The casino and, if you like” – Mr Zographos`s smile was sly with the “shared secret” and proud with the right word – “The suckers.”

I already know what my second submission will be - hopefully the field will still be open when the second round rolls out!

Why do you say that?

[SamuelKevlar]

Sounds good to me, though dealing with Lazenby's second outing and inevitable quest for revenge may prove awkward.

Why do you say that?

Because he's pursuing Blofeld when DAF begins, so he must either somehow fail to find him for the entirety of the UBLazenby, which makes him seem incapable, or not actually be in pursuit of him, which makes him seem heartless.

[coco1997]

There's a number of ways we could approach it. One could argue that "DAF" pretty much disregards the existence of "OHMSS" and is rather a continuation of "YOLT". We could even kill off Blofeld and set up a scenario in which the missing Lazenby movie 'bombs' and "DAF" would be the film that gets the series 'back on track'. "Superman Returns" did something similar--it picked up where "Superman II", rather than the notoriously horrible "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" left off.

[terminus]

I could imagine a scenario in which Lazenby Bond believes he has killed Blofeld along with the cathartic experience that would entail - and then we cut to a scene at MI6 between M, Q and Moneypenny in which they're standing at M's desk, looking at photographs. All of the photographs turn out to be Blofeld, in various worldwide locations. 'How do we tell him' asks Moneypenny (or Q if 'Penny isn't in the briefing) - 'Carefully' responds Q.

Thus setting the idea up from the beginning of Diamonds are Forever with Blofeld using plastic surgery to create duplicates of himself.

Anyway - back to Connery. Hopefully we will see at least one other post today - maybe from tdalton - and then the second round can open.

[coco1997]

Anyway - back to Connery. Hopefully we will see at least one other post today - maybe from tdalton - and then the second round can open.

Indeed. If we force ourselves to wait on a sixth participant, though, it could take forever to finish this one.

[tdalton]

I had been delaying my input because I had been trying to create a good, original character for the villain, but found no success in doing so. With that said, and after having read a few plot summaries for Diamonds are Forever (it's been quite a while since I've read the novel, so the memory is a bit fuzzy), maybe the villain could be taken from that novel (perhaps with a couple of set-pieces as well, such as "Spectreville").

Anyway, I've listed my suggestion for the villain. Went with a Fleming villain. Given that there's still quite a bit left over from the Diamonds are Forever novel that wasn't used in the film, along with the suggestion for the "Ally 1" part, there could be quite a bit of mileage gained out of some of that material, IMO (especially the gambling portions of the novel).

We've got a very European sort of movie going on now, haven't we! And a particularly Communist Block one too - with Poland and East Germany!

From other things people are saying - and looking at elements of Fleming that we've yet to see used - I've got an idea for the plot that could be used. I do wonder if we could somehow integrate both the LALD cold coin smuggling - and the backstory of Octopussy with a hidden cache of Nazi gold somewhere in Switzerland.

If CaptainTightpants and MrBlofeld post their second choices, then I can declare round three open when I get up in the morning. I've got two cracking ideas for my third choice and I'm debating which of those to pick.

[coco1997]

Ooh, 'Spectreville' as a creepy, ghoulish insane asylum befitting its name, designed by Ken Adam...Sounds awesome.

And, like "TB" before it and "YOLT" after it, this one will need a scene that has a henchman/girl being fed to a ravenous water animal.

[Captain Tightpants]

1 Bond - Sean Connery

2 Bond Girl 1 (Main ie Pussy Galore/Kissy): Eartha Kitt as Miss Silhouette - Helga Brandt meets May Day. Miss Silhouette is involved with the villain (possibly his mistress if the villain is a man) but turns traitor at the end of the film to help Bond.
3 Bond Girl 2 (Minor ie Tilly Masterson/Aki):
4 Bond Girl 3 (Background Girl - Dink/Ling):

5 Henchman (a la Oddjob):

6 Villain 1 (Main - the 'title' villain): Steve McQueen as Jack Spang (doesn't necessarily have to be a smuggler as in the novel, but perhaps a jack-of-all trades for SPECTRE)
7 Villain 2: Angela Lansbury as Marna Krutch (she is a 'facilitator' for SPECTRE - something of a Rosa Klebb meets Irma Bunt type, Eastern European, possibly even former KGB - think of her like a Mr White figure for the Connery Era).

KEY PLOT POINTS

18 Villain's Plot: Jack Spang (born Ioann Spangarov; also known as SPECTRE #17) is attempting to requisition stolen wealth from Switzerland. This wealth once belonged to the House of Romanov, the Tsars of Imperial Russia. The riches were 'liberated' with the establishment of the Soviet Union, and later stolen by the Nazis when Hitler marched on Russia. Spang and SPECTRE have been hired by elements of the Russian ruling elite - who are unhappy with the state of affairs in the USSR - to find the stolen wealth and return it to Russia in an attempt to resurrect the Russian Empire. In exchange, SPECTRE and any member of their fraternity will be given unconditional diplomatic immunity. Spang is attempting to achieve this by posing as a doctor and smuggling the gold over the iron curtain with patients he has declared insane.

Interesting plot - and something similar to what I was going to suggest, although I was going to have the smuggled gold being used to fund actual 'terrorist' activity, a bit like the gold coins in Live and Let Die.

Although - I'd like to suggest that, instead of Russian, we make Spang Greek (let's call him Angelos Spangopolous - or something similar) and a supporter of the Soviet party in Greece, thus still fitting in with your plot suggestion.

Hopefully we'll have mrb's second turn soon and we can open the third round! Still can't decide between my two choices - but I may have been leaning towards the second of my ideas as it sorta kinda fits the plot as it's been established.

Bit of a pity that any action in St Moritz takes place in the summer months as something I have always wanted to see in a Bond would be the extremely high-life "White Turf" festival (February) which centres around horse racing on the lake. Could work as one of the stunt sequences that Bond participates in skijoring and inevitably an attempt is made on his life and inevitably he wins. For those not in the know, skijoring is like waterskiing except that, albeit on skis, one is pulled along at high speed by a racehorse. Over ice. It is spectacular and spectacularly dangerous.

Was thinking about using it in a fan fiction myself.

Wouldn't work in summer. The horse would drown, for a start.

Damn, that's not exactly what I expected the villain's plot to be; the names and locations were giving me mental images of Frankenstein and Dracula -- something of a Gothic tenor to the whole affair, beautiful women menaced by monsters, raving madmen sucking the blood out of flies... that sort of thing.

5 Henchman (a la Oddjob): David Prowse as Viktor Szász, a former Hungarian strongman recruited over the Iron Curtain by Spang to act as muscle and assist in the "care" of Spectreville's patients.
