How would you open Bond 24?
In my opinion, I was thinking in nearly every Bond so far we've seen Bond go to a fashionable party in a nice tuxedo with a vodka martini, why not have a party right at the start and have a big action scene across a glamorous casino or hotel? and if we really wanna go back to Quantum have the party be Guy Haines'

'CR', 'QOS' and 'SF' all have had pretty hard pre-titles, serious and very connected to the main stroy. As we have our James Bond back, I'd love to see him in that situation for a great mini-adventure before the main film starts.
Like we had in 'Goldfinger', 'Moonraker' or 'The Living Daylights' - most of them can be connected to the main story, but take the little connecting item away, they're are blistering action pieces and can be seen as a mini-mission for introducing us to another round wih 007.
Craig had fun during 'Skyfall', and I want to see his Bond have more fun doing his missions he is so good at.

Actually TLD PTS does have something to do with the main story because of the smiert spionam tag that was left on the body of the 00.

I think they should have a clean slate for Bond 24 - new mission, no connection to Skyfall apart from the new cast (Fiennes, Harris, Whishaw) and no connection Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace, maybe Quantum but that should be it
I generally agree, except I'd like to see Felix return.

And then, as an added bonus, after the credits, we can find out that the girl is actually the daughter of the Minister of Defence or some other high-profile political figure, and M can scold Bond for being so careless in his romantic liasons.

Can be seperate or connected to the main plot but maybe throw the kitchen sink in there this time
By the way when is someone going to do a book that takes a look, specifically, at the opening sequences?
There is enough material there ( behind the scenes, pictures, the long history of....) to fill a nice thick book

Bond opens the folder marked 'Top Secret' handed to him by Mallory. It contains the results of the interrogation of Silva's surviving henchman, whose revealed that not only did Silva have a list of NATO agents embedded in terrorist organisations, but that he also had a list of double-agents embedded in various secret service organisations across the globe. Bond scans the list, and his heart misses a beat as he sees one unmistakable name on the list..........F Leiter......
That's actually a really, really great idea.

I think we should bring Jesper Christensen back for Bond 24 and have him in the pre-title sequence. Maybe like a Diamonds are Forever pre-title sequence but better...
I'd love to see them do that. If Bond 24 and Bond 25 aren't like Specter in TB and YOLT then I would at least like to see them do that and give some closer to the Quantum story line.

Thank you, MattofSteel. The idea of Bond 24 taking a really, really hard look at the interaction of various Secret Services across the globe fascinates me. I'd love to see a real cliff-hanger regarding 'The Special Relationship' which on the grandscale is the UK's with the US, on a 'business level' MI6 with the CIA and of course on a personal level is Bond's with Leiter. That must have mileage......
