Hi I'm sorta new around here. Been lurking for years.

Me and some friends came up with these back when Die Another Day (2002) didn't have a title. Some fit that plot but could work for Bond 24.

In More Ways Than One

A Chance to Die Forever (Die is interchangeable with Live) about how Moon became Graves estentially Living/Dying Forever

Beyond the Call of Danger or From Beyond the Call of Danger

A Man with a Child in His Eyes (referred to General Tan Sun Moon and his son)

What do you think?

if I had my way the last two Craig Bonds would be the remaining Fleming titles Risico and The Hildebrand Rarity.

Risico is great because it's easily pronounceable, it's Dutch with a Spanish/Italian tinge. The Hildebrand Rarity sounds too 'Robert Ludlum' to me.
If it's a new original title, something like Skyfall - short and mysterious - is fine for me. Nothing with the verbs 'to live' or 'to die' please.

'Question of Sport'.

Mark Kermode's brilliant pastiche title for Quantum of Solace. It'd work! :D

"Kill" is the real kiss of death in Bond titles.

The Property of a Lady.

If one thinks about it, Skyfall could have been called that!

Seems like they could have subsituted 'Risico' for 'Skyfall' from what I have heard. Still haven't seen the movie yet though.

Risico would be an odd name for a Scottish lodge.

Still holding out hope for 007 in New York, just to see the whining it would prompt.

The Property Of A Lady
Risico
The Hildebrand Rarity

And, not "007 In New York", but a title inspired by it, such as "New York Sniper" or something!

I'd be fine with that. I was one of the ones who was completely fine with Quantum of Solace as a title. Even though most (non-Bond fans) thought it was a bad one.

Quantum of Solace seems a whole lot riskier than 007 in New York.

"007 in New York" is no title, it´s a description promising not enough.

At least "SKYFALL" was "007 in London, Scotland, China and an undisclosed island".

007 doesn't want to be in New York right now, anyway.

If they really do film Bond 24 and 25 back to back, do you think they would go for two Fleming titles?

Otherwise, how about Risico and Colonel Sun?

Well, we had the character of Colonel Moon in DAD based on Colonel Sun, so I don't think they should go with that.

I would defenitely like to see another Fleming title being used. ''The Property of Lady'' of course was already used in Octopussy to describe the Faberge egg, but it can perhaps still be used as a film title. It surely is a great one. I like Risico and The Hildebrand Rarirty too.

I don't really expect 007 in New York to be used anytime soon. The more I think about it the more I like it though.

I doubt that they'll actually end up filming back-to-back, but if they were to do something like that and have the films share a story arc, I'd title one of them (assuming it made sense for the story) "A Whisper of Love" and the other "A Whisper of Hate".

Would be interesting, but as you said I highly doubt it.

I doubt they'd ever use 007 In New York. It's pretty useless as a title. Chances are, Bond is going to travel to more places than just New York, plus Bond has already been to New York. It's a pretty limited title, as would any "007 in..." title be. I'm all for using the other three remaining Fleming titles, but original titles are fine too as long as the words "die" and "kill" are far from them.

I had this thought as well. I don't think they're going to make the films that way. A Whisper of Hate would make a great title, I think more so tham A Whisper of Love, which sounds like a romantic comedy.
