Looks like dino beat you out by a mere minute, Mr. B.

AWESOME casting choice by the way, dino. Hilarious casting background, too.

So... Villain #2, the guy funding the whole enterprise, then?

I don't see why not, although it might be helpful if dino submitted a brief description of his character.

Indeed; either way would work.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Where... has everybody gone?

[coco1997]

I messaged tdalton and SamKevlar. Hopefully they'll planning to participate.

[terminus]

Yes - am sure it's just down to the festive season and general business. Hopefully people will swing by and submit - am sure tdalton said something about an action sequence and I think Sam probably has a fantastic piece of casting up his sleeve.

Flattery will get you nowhere, Mr Bond.

1 Bond - Roger Moore

2 Bond Girl 1 (Main ie Pussy Galore/Kissy):
3 Bond Girl 2 (Minor ie Tilly Masterson/Aki):
4 Bond Girl 3 (Background Girl - Dink/Ling):

5 Henchman (a la Oddjob): David Prowse as Duncan Black, Scottish "knight" with great affection for two-handed swords.

6 Villain 1: Marlon Brando as Vincenzo LaFiera.
7 Villain 2: Armand Assante as John Vigeaux, a young, French-descended blueblood with religious convictions as strong as the belief in his own money.

KEY PLOT POINTS

18 Villains Plot: The villain has aquired a pair of nuclear missiles and intends to aim them at the terminator line on the moon, the point where the light side of the moon ends and the dark side begins. An explosion over the terminator line would be back-lit by the sun, making the explosion visible to every single human being on earth. The villain plans to do this in order to increase their sphere of influence over humankind (I know CT has some more ideas about this - but some of those would influence other fields so he can voice the rest of his concept later once the other fields are filled in).

Um... we've already used David Prowse in a prior UB.

I don't think tdalton will be participating. Perhaps we should move onto the next round?

And Mr. B, whatever happened to getting Connery's Toupee to join in?

Not quite sure what that means.

[terminus]

It's a shame if tdalton doesn't participate - he's always had a good flare for action set pieces and fleshing characters out.

Um... we've already used David Prowse in a prior UB.

Yes - and Maud Adams was in two Bond films as different characters too, as was that dude who played Dikko Henderson and Blofeld (which might be a more apt comparison, as his appearances were only with a one film gap - similar to the gap between Prowse appearances in the UB-verse).

Meanwhile, the villain is preparing himself for a very public appearance before his followers somewhere else in anticipation of the event. However, it never happens - Bond stops the launch by sabotaging the launch controls. The missile drifts off-course and detonates just beyond the edge of space. Bond never actually kills the villain; the villain simply loses all credibility before his folowers, becoming Nostradamus-like in his failed prediction of the event.

Interesting idea - was picturing the villains underwater lair actually being a submarine (the 'Nautilus' name etc - the vessel being a mix between the SeaView on 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea' and the Ulysees in Atlantis: The Lost Empire) and that it just be in the Great Barrier Reef for some specific reason, we can make it because of the terminator line thing and have the submarine being rigged to carry the (presumably stolen) nuclear missiles.

Not sure about the villain surviving - the villain in the Moore films always seems to meet a particularly interesting fate. Would being torn to death by your own followers count as a gruesome death? Remember - dinovelvet postulated the fact that Brando would only film for a brief period and would not film outside of the soundstage.
