We won't, though - what would be the point? It's been used already.

Revisiting an old hideout; Bond investigates, etc. -- finds the phone, and traces its line... back to Blofeld.

I don't think that's necessary.

I'd prefer we keep as original locations as possible from story to story.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Very well, then.

Top hole, chaps. It's quite remarkable how realistic in 1966 scale and atmosphere My Enemy's Enemy has turned out, especially considering that probably all of us weren't even born then.

Now I'm looking forward to UBLazenby. I've got a cracking idea for a Bond girl.

I am posting the proforma for the UB Lazenby Film, but comments can continue to be made to 'My Enemy's Enemy' and I am happy to edit the treatment for the next several days.

I'd be open to it - but it might need to be a 'secondary PTS' (ie, a brief action sequence after the title sequence that takes place before the briefing). As this was previously discussed - feel free to post what you have envisaged and we can take a look at what you envisage and see if we think it will work/fit.

In addition, feel free to take an actual turn - if we do use your idea for Irma Bunt's death, then we will add it in addition to the fields (as it had been previously discussed).

EDIT: Think you changed your post whilst I was posting my response - have PM'd you with the above comments too. I'm eager to see what you had in mind and what your actual first turn will be!

Did I steal your planned field? If so, I feel bad...

Don't worry about it.


[EDIT]

EDIT: Think you changed your post whilst I was posting my response - have PM'd you with the above comments too. I'm eager to see what you had in mind and what your actual first turn will be!

The idea I had was something that would be fairly simple, I think (and if it's decided that it'll be used, I'll draw it up in greater detail, as this is just a rough idea right now). Basically what it would involve would be for Bond to have been tracking down Bunt and Blofeld off camera in between the events of this project and OHMSS. Where we'd pick up the scene would be with Bunt having gone into hiding after seeing the amount of bodies that Bond has left in his wake in his quest to bring both her and Blofeld to justice. Bond eventually learns of her whereabouts and goes there, infiltrating the safe house (or whatever kind of place she's taken refuge in, I haven't really given that aspect of this scene much thought) that she's in, eliminating the guards in a fairly brutal fashion, and finds Bunt somewhere in the lower levels of the compound in a dark room, dark enough that we can't really see her. The character would be voiced by a voice actor, and perhaps a stunt woman or an actress (if we even saw the character) would sit with her back to the camera. They exchange some emotionally charged dialogue (long enough to give the audience a sense of closure on the arc for the Bunt character but not long enough for the people sitting in as the character to receive on-screen credits for the work either, thus, hopefully, getting away with bringing the character back without necessarily having recast the role), with the camera cutting away as Bond eliminates Bunt. The scene could then end with either Bond just walking out of the complex and continuing the search for Blofeld or with maybe some kind of alarm being triggered (it would be a SPECTRE safehouse of some sort after all, so perhaps there was some kind of surveillance that alerted reinforcements that Bond had infiltrated the compound) and having Bond fight his way out of the complex.

[coco1997]

That would be a very fitting PTS for this story and would tie up the loose end that is Irma Bunt's character effectively and efficiently.

I would be willing to have my PTS idea moved later in the story--the only problem is that terminus has already specified northern Italy as the PTS location, and my action scene idea is tied directly to the location. I took the idea from "The Making of On Her Majesty's Secret Service" by Charles Helfenstein, which shows that the Staglieno sequence was considered in one of the earlier drafts of the film.

[SamuelKevlar]

Mia Farrow? Now - that IS interesting casting. Especially ocming shortly after Rosemary's Baby and shortly before The Great Gatsby.

Thanks. Yeah, she's at her best in this era. It's also fitting the zeitgeist, hippies, Vietnam War protests. I imagine the argument may have been made at the time, as it was after the fall of the Berlin Wall and in the run-up to Goldeneye, that Bond was past his sell-by date. UBLazenby might in some respects be a response and an adaption to the change in the wind, as GE was with the female M, the questioning of Britain's past and the nature and morality of the Secret Service. Maybe Summer, with her belief in free love as well as female equality, might actually seduce Bond instead of the expected other way around. He's not the same man after Tracy's death, after all.

I like the scene - but am a tad unsure about the way it uses Bunt. It would be a smidgeon like using Blofeld in For Your Eyes Only. I think it would be possible to use the scene - as said above - after the titles with the information in the dead-drop possibly leading Bond to Bunt's location? I know coco1997 mentioned that they considered using the Maginot Line forts as a SPECTRE base in one of the films - so maybe we could utilise that location for this somehow?

We'll consider this an additional scene and additional location - they do not need to take up any fields. So feel free to take your actual first turn

The location sounds good.

As far as how the Bunt character is used in the scene, I haven't had time to really fully flesh out the scene, so I went more towards an extreme of having her hardly feature so that we wouldn't have the issue regarding a new actress being in the part. I'll tweak it some to hopefully come up with a happy medium for the involvement of the character.

Interesting location - and it kinda jives with what my second round choice was going to be!

Now just CT to take part before the second round can open

[Mr. Blofeld]

May I offer an opinion?

I had an idea for the lead-up to the Niagara Falls sequence, involving Bond and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Force protecting a defecting Russian scientist from SPECTRE forces hired by the USSR to take him out (as depicted in The Spy Who Loved Me, the novel); it could easily be tweaked.

[terminus]

Nice scene - but I thought there'd been some agreement that Bond would believe he had killed Blofeld, thus setting up the final scene with M, Q and Moneypenny and the photographs of Blofeld around the globe. It might need some reworking, but the basic idea of Bond being shot and almost dying could definitely work.

[terminus]

And we'll open Round Two now:


0 Title (Group Decision Field) - 'Semper Occultus'.'Always Secret' (proposed title - 'Semper Occultus' is the motto of MI6. I picture it being used in the film during an encounter between Moneypenny and Bond, during which Moneypenny asks how Bond is coping and how he's dealing with the anger and survivors guilt - 'Semper Occultus," he responds. "Always secret".)

1 Bond - George Lazenby

2 Bond Girl 1 (Main ie Pussy Galore/Kissy): Mia Farrow as Summer Long, American peace activist.
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: Telly Savalas as Ernst Stavro Blofeld (though the movie should be about Bond tracking him down - therefore he will not appear throughout the film, just in a final confrontation)
7 Villain 2:
7b Villain 3: A Body/Voice Double as Irma Bunt (to be confirmed)

8 M: Bernard Lee
9 Moneypenny: Lois Maxwell
10 Q: Desmond Llewelyn

11 Ally 1:

Re: Locations - feel free to use multiple locations within a given country but we should avoid repeat locations unless absolutely necessary.

12 Pre-Titles Location: Northern Italy
12b Location A: The Maginot Line, Franco-German Border
13 Location 1:
14 Location 2:
15 Location 3: RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 (the ship was comissioned in 1969 on voyages from Southampton to New York so would have been quite topical. I imagine that Bond would pursue the secondary villain onto the ship from Location 2 to Havana [via Southampton and New York])
16 Location 4: Havana, Cuba
17 Location 5: Niagara Falls (where Bond has his final confrontation with Blofeld)

KEY PLOT POINTS

18 Villains Plot: Ostensibly this is a revenge movie - with Bond chasing after Blofeld. There will, however, be a side-plot with Bond following a second villain (and foiling his plot) in order to reach Blofeld.

19 Pre-Title Sequence Stunt: Staglieno Cemetery in Genoa, Italy is being used as a 'dead-drop' by SPECTRE. A dead-drop is what they call a place where organizations leave parcels for other agents in bins, under park benches, etc. Bond finds it's a dead-drop location and follows someone to a crypt at the cemetery. Bond sneaks in, opens the coffin and takes the note from the corpse but gets into a fight in the crypt with someone. He defeats them, throws them into the coffin and shuts the lid on the man and the corpse, making some witty retort in the process. As Bond prepares to exit the crypt, tucking the piece of paper that was dead-dropped, we find that the crypt has been rigged to blow--and as Bond runs to safety, the explosion whites out the screen, which segues to the main title sequence.

33 Description of Titles:

Nice scene - but I thought there'd been some agreement that Bond would believe he had killed Blofeld, thus setting up the final scene with M, Q and Moneypenny and the photographs of Blofeld around the globe. It might need some reworking, but the basic idea of Bond being shot and almost dying could definitely work.

I don't think Blofeld should be shot, only to be found alive. That's pretty much a cliche with the villain avoiding certain death. I just watched an episode of CHUCK where Timothy Dalton did exactly that, and Blofeld himself has done it in the films (like at the end of ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE). A re-tread would just get tired. I think it would be much more powerful for Bond to confront Blofeld and have the criminal mastermind exactly where Bond wants him, and just before he goes for the killing shot, the sniper takes him out. I think it would be way more interesting to see Bond's obsession with killing Blofeld ultimately leading to his downfall, and to have Blofeld think of Bond as little more than a bothersome fly while Bond thinks of Blofeld as his mortal enemy. I'd also love to see a scene where Bond simply lets go and all his rage and frustration boils to the surface at once - like when he's lying on the ground, bleeding from a near-mortal wound after working so hard to find and kill Blofeld, and Blofeld is standing right there in front of him, but he's so far away that he might as well be on the other side of the world. Bond can do nothing but watch him walk away as he gets swallowed up by darkness.

As for the final scene, it could be M and Moneypenny discussing reported sightings of Blofeld rather than pictures of him (because Blofeld took pains to keep his face hidden from even his inner circle, so I don't see why he'd suddenly allow himself to be photographed a dozen times). I read M and Moneypenny's dicsussion about breaking the news of Blofeld's whereabouts as being careful because they have no idea where he is, and they don't even know if the photos and sightings are genuine (which would foreshadow the use of body doubles). So they have to be careful because Bond has spent years looking for Blofeld, and he got so close and could do nothing about it. Plus, Bond very nearly died at the end of THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN in a similar fashion - I believe it was Leiter who just saved him.
