EON Productions is proud to present the first teaser poster for Twilight of Danger, a first in a series of many.

"We believe that it fully captures the mystique of the latest Bond adventure," says Michael G. Wilson regarding the poster. "It's only a teaser of what is yet to come. You might call it the teaser teaser poster."

Damn that's really nice work Harmsway!

[HUNTER C.]

Forgive me for sounding out of place and all but what is Twighlight of Danger? Is it a story you've written (with a dream cast) or what? I'm intrigued by that magnificent teaser

[Harmsway]

Twilight of Danger is, in fact, everything a movie would have, except a movie. I'm writing the screenplay, doing some of the posters (the rest are done by Arrant). Teaser #1 is Arrant's work, while this one is mine.

The screenplay is shaping up to be everything I want it to be, and the release date is Christmas (as you can see). It's my "present" to the Bond fan community. So, look forward to Twilight of Danger. These teasers are only the beginning. Wait until you hear Rich Douglas' score (which is based on an early treatment of what has now evolved)! It's utterly amazing. Expect it soon.

Maybe i could help and make a title sequence animation?

[Harmsway]

A title sequence? That would be great! How would you go about doing it? I tried to get a friend to do it in CG, but he didn't have the right programs to do it correctly. If you need the title song, I've got an MP3 of it (it's done by Rich Douglas and is fantastic!).

[Colonel Moon]

I use flash and other programs

[Harmsway]

Cool. The whole thing is awesome. I think I'll e-mail you the title song and whatever you envision create. Just to help guide you, the theme is technology and a lot of water and things.

[freemo]

Whoa ! Very nice poster.

[The Admiral]

Great poster there!

Just an update - as soon as the new CBn is released, the TOD soundtrack will be available to download!

Stay Tuned!

Very Nice. I love how all the elements of the poster stick with the theme of red. Very nice. :thumbsup:

The Twilight of Danger release poster for the United States has just been released by EON Productions. It is almost exactly like the international one sheet, but has re-done the title logo and taken Bond out of a tuxedo.

I like the poster. Especially the part that has Catherine Zeta-Jones as the Bond Girl. I have always thought that she would make a perfect Bond Girl.

[Harmsway]

Here's the poster!

[Harmsway]

Twilight of Danger has been put on permanent hold for the timebeing. Realization has struck that Twilight of Danger is too similar to DAD for the timebeing, and is being reworked for release at a later date than Christmas 2002.

The current plotline used the locations of Australia and Malaysia, also being changed to avoid an Asian location.

The villain, Silas Thorn, is being reworked - originally the owner of one of the leading corporations in technology development, may be something of a different nature in the revised draft.

Expect tributes to Fleming, Benson, and Jacques Nexus.

Look for Twilight of Danger in the future!!

That's too bad. Iwas looking forward to TOD as the next Bond event after Die Another Day. Oh, well I know oh too well how these things go.

[Harmsway]

Thanx Mr. *. Of anybody's opinion, I value yours the most. Don't worry, though, it probably won't be too long (I hope)!

[Dortmunder]

Yes, I also was looking forward to the sequence in Malaysia. I've always thought that Kuala Lumpur would be a perfect place for James Bond to visit. Either way, I'm sure it will be great.

[Harmsway]

The reason for cutting out Kuala Lumpur, even though it was what I envisioned perfectly, was because of its prominence in Entrapment. I think that Singapore might be better, or even Japan.

The original storyline had a climax in a Japanese castle (an homage to Fleming's YOLT). However, it didn't suit the storyline as it evolved, and I've got some alternate endings.

Bond was originally to meet with the villain posing as a possible investor, then that was cut (it was too bland). I then had Bond set up to meet the villain in a casino, as you can see on the soundtrack by Rich Douglas, but I don't want to have the villain meet Bond in a gaming situation like Bond meets Graves in DAD. It's a pity. I liked it a lot.

Perhaps the hardest thing for me to do is avoid snow (which was originally in the outline). Snow has been featured in GE, TND, TWINE, and heavily in DAD, so I want to stray away, but some of the scenes would work well.

The original outline actually featured a Chinese general named Li (a name stolen from TND draft #1) but in order to avoid the Asian general/western meglomaniac thing that occurs in DAD, I cut that out a long long time ago.

The thing that hurts me the most to see go was a sequence I had set at the Sydney Opera House, where the villain had rented it out purely for a charity ball. There was going to be a dance sequence planned (if you've seen Thomas Crown Affair, think the dance between Russo and Brosnan) followed by an introduction to the villain.

Now the storyline has evolved, mostly for the better. The original storyline was extremely formulaic, and I think I've moved away from that. Now the villain is a bit more interesting. What I'm currently working with is good. It really is hard to come up with a Bond film. I don't know how they can come up with some much original material!

Sincerely,
Harmsway

Why not release the orignal story a week or 2 after you release this new edited version? I'm looking forward to this one as well. I know the changes are for the best, but I just would like to see the orignal one as well.

[Harmsway]

I was actually considering doing just that. I'd love to show what was originally planned, since a lot of work went into that first treatment, which I then had to tear apart to fix the problems in either character, plot, or just similarities to other Bond movies.

If you want to know the earliest concept from way back (and soon abandoned), it was a villanous international banker with a knack for terrorism. His name was to be Kraal Drakensburg, a name that Jacques Nexus came up with.
