I've finally settled on the Bond outline that I really like. I've already written the first draft of the pretitle sequence and am starting on the rest of the movie ( with two weeks off university, i'm hoping to plough through this ).
I would appreciate any comments on this and if you've got any suggestions on how i should modify it, then i'll probably listen and implement the changes.
Any 'casting' is merely to provide a visual reference to myself when writing the script.
Without further ado:
Title: Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
James Bond: Hugh Jackman
Gals
Elisabeth Braddock Fairchild: Rachel Weisz
Caesura Xanderson: Kim Cattrall (the femme fatale)
Colonel Wai Lin: Michelle Yeoh (the sacrificial lamb/sidekick)
Samantha: Pink ( in a brief cameo )
Baddies
Xander Xanderson: Alan Rickman (the villain)
Colonel Dragon Nu Yok: Chow Yun Fat (the villain's ally)
Mr Shadow: Adam Baldwin (the henchman)
Locations: Japan, France, England, British Columbia
Tagline: It's time to play ...
Best Line:
'to love, honor ... and kill for': Caesura
Villains Plot:
XanTech have developed the HEAT device which could be used as a weapon. When Bond investigates, he discovers a web of intrigue leading to a spectacular battle on a titanic submarine below the Ross Ice Shelf ...
And, just for fun, some extras, if it were made into a movie:
Director: Lee Tamahori
Theme Song:
Opening: I Will Return by Will Young
Closing: Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang 2002 by Pink
Composer: David Arnold

Chapter 1 will be titled 'Dance Into The Fire'.
It will see Bond teaming up with Agent Samantha Fury (played by Pink) to stop the bombing of an experimental train venturing through the Seikan Tunnel in Japan and involves an unorthodox use of the gadgets on the Vanquish and a few good 'lines' ...

Dude, we sorted this out on the corona message board. The 'novel' is no longer known as Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, it's known as BEYOND THE ICE. If I've got you mixed up with someone else, then my bad

With Chapter 1 of Beyond The Ice finished and being edited, I sat down and wrote a few scenes for another movie. Before long, it develops its own plotline and characters, but don't worry because I'm still writing Beyond The Ice ( Chapter 2 is halfway complete ) this was just for fun and I'm only writing a scene a day for this ...
As normal, all comments are appreciated
Without further ado, I present to you ... CRUCIBLE !
FADE IN ...
It looks like the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank in Hong Kong. But it's
not. It's a different building in the same place.
This is Hong Kong and the sun has set.
On the roof of the building, Bond steps towards the edge. He's clothed
in a black jumpsuit and slides a black crash helmet over his head, tugs
at a wire that is attached to the back of his jumpsuit and the edge of
the building and then jumps ...
Bond literally appears to be running down the side of the building, a
single figure amidst gleaming glass. He stops midway up the building as
he reaches a balcony and unsnaps the wire connected to the jumpsuit and
removing the headset to reveal that it is Bond (as played by Christian
Bale) who has just performed this stunt.
He produces a Walther PPK from a hidden pocket on the jumpsuit and then
smashes his way into the building.
He creeps silently from room to room before running down a flight of
stairs and stepping into a fantastic room (if you've seen XXX, then you
need to imagine the NSA control room in that) that is empty and dark,
save for the light of a flickering computer monitor.
Bond crosses to the monitor, types in a password but it is incorrect. A
countdown begins to accelerate that will set off the intruder
countermeasures of the building ...
So Bond produces a Q Gadget, slaps it to the side of the computer and
waits whilst the gadget not only decodes the computer but downloads and
transmits the data back to MI6.
And it is at that moment that Bond feels the pressure of a gun barrel
on the back of his head.
He turns to reveal a man (Christopher Plummer) dressed in a smart suit
and holding a Walther P99 not unlike his own.
Bond cracks a smile before swinging round and stealing the Walther P99
from the man ...
Bond: How'd you like that ? You didn't expect it did you. But then, you
understimate the entire Double O section. Your predecessor made the
same mistake ...
The man is M and Bond lowers the gun to his side as the lights come up
to reveal several SIS functionaries entering from side offices,
including Tanner and Moneypenny:
M: With all due respect, Bond, my predecessor bore a grudge against the
world. I, however, only bear a grudge against _you_ ...
Moneypenny walks up with a file, hands it to M who hands it to Bond:
M: Your next mission. Somethings come up in Hawaii that requires your
specific talents ...
Bond flicks through the file, then smiles:
A quick switch to Hawaii where Bond straddles a scrumptiously Hawaiian
woman with suitably big breasts and luscious eyes. He's giving her a
massage, but she tips him over ...
And he leans in to kiss her:
Girl: Oh, James !
And we fade to the title sequence:
X
X
X
X
After the credit sequence, we fade back in to ...
The middle of a desert somewhere, we pan towards a massive sand dune
and when we close on it, a giant airship crests it, made all the more
giant when we considers our vantage point.
And then someone runs past our position, carrying a cylindrical object.
We follow this person, obviously a caucasian man but dressed in desert
wear, as he slams the cylinder into a spot in the middle of a
depression in the sand ...
A rope ladder snaps down from the airship and the figure begins to
climb up the rope ladder.
We cut to the deck of the airship where our villain (unamed as yet as
his name hasn't been used, but he's played by Cristian Solimeno) stands
with his henchman - nay, hench_woman_, Sinfamy Jones (to be played by
Rhona Mitra) gazing out at the endless desert.
Eventually we reveal that we're in the middle of the Sahara Desert in
Africa ...
The villain turns to Sinfamy, slides sunglasses (or shades) over his
eyes and nods to his henchwoman:
Villain: Sin for me, Sinfamy.
Sinfamy nods and then produces a rather lethal looking knife that she
uses to slice the rope ladder away from the airship. The man who put
the device in the sand falls back to Earth, injured but not dead.
He screams for help, perfectly aware of what the device is about to do.
Villain: Very good.
And then, a slow winding up sound of building electricity and then
blinding light flies out from the cylinder. It engulfs the man who has
just fallen to the sand ...
And then, the villain slips his shades off and looks down at the sand
as the light fades.
Except it's not sand, it's turned into miles and miles of silver.
The villain turns to Sinfamy:
Villain: Recover the device. And inform Mr Trang to take care of things
in Greece. I've just got some business to clear up in Cairo ...
Sinfamy nods and departs.
X
X
X
X
Off the departure of Sinfamy, we cut to:
A Hercules Cargo Plane swooping through the blue skies. It doesn't bare
any markings except for a small UNIVERSAL EXPORTS sigil on the tail.
It's swooping across the skies of ... Greece ?
We cut to inside, where Q is talking to Bond at a bench of gadgets:
Q presses a button on the keyfob. The XKR changes from a gleaming silver and into
a stunning cherry red.
Bond:
Impressive.
Q:
Very.
Q leads Bond over to a bench.
Q:
One standard issue Walther P99. One pair of
explosive shoelaces. One tracking device -
Q hands Bond a watch.
Q:
Your watch: with a built in geiger counter
and laser -
Bond:
Yes. But can it tell the time ?
Q: (ignoring Bond)
And your car -
Q takes Bond back to where the XKR is sitting:
Q: (continued)
Jaguar XKR. 400 brake horse power, top speed
of 160 miles per hour. And everything else
you would expect -
Q walks around the Jaguar.
Q: (continued)
- chobam armor, reactive skins, electrically
sensitive paint and interchangeable licence
plates -
Bond:
No adaptive camouflage ?
Q: (irritated)
You damaged the prototype with your offensive
driving -
Bond:
Offensive ?
Q:
Yes. It offended me.
Q hands Bond a mobile phone:
Q:
- and the remote control.
Bond:
Thankyou, Quatermaster.
Bond gets into the car, a sleek cherry red Jaguar, pulls out his gun (a
variation on the Lazarus from XXX) and fires it at a control panel. The
rear ramp of the Hercules begins to lower and we see that the plane is
almost about to touch down, Bond looks at Q, smiles, then pulls the
breaks off and backs the car out of the back of the Hercules ...
We cut to outside the Hercules where we see the Jag scream to a halt
and spin round so that it's facing forward:
And, as we do, we hear a voice:
Girl: Welcome to Athens, Mr. Bond.
It's a sexy woman (Asia Argento) standing at the side of the runway
and dressed only in a pair of khaki shorts and a tight forrest green sports
bra. Her black hair is swept back by a headband ....
Then she speaks, with a delightfull souther accent:
Girl: I believe you're expecting me. Ariadne Alexandrou at your service.
Now, perhaps we could get 'down' to business ...
Bond smiles and opens the door of the Jag:
Bond: Of course.
We smash cut to a hotel room in Greece.
Bond making strenuous love to Ariadne. Their bodies ride the
energy and the passion. This is slow and passionate but also
quick and animalstic ...
We pan across the room, passing over a partly empty champagne
bottle in a champagne cooler and two half empty flutes.
But we can still hear the moans of pleasure:
Ariadne's Voice: Oh, James ...
And then, a few hours later, Bond and Ariadne driving along
the coast in the Jag to the casino ...
And then in the casino itself.
Bond and Ariadne get out of the Jag and Bond hands the keys
to a valet to park it. The two agents enter the casino/club.
Ariadne: This is a gentlemans club. For businessmen and rich
playboys with more money than sense. It's a casino, but it also
provides some ... less than honorable entertainment ...
Ariadne leads Bond into the poledancing room. There is a girl
on stage at the moment, dancing to a funky version of the film
themetune.
Bond does a doubletake, recognising the girl but then thinking
that it can't possibly be her.
Bond and Ariadne take a table.
Ariadne: You're looking for Dragon Trang. Trang is the Vice
President of XanTech ... that's Xanderson Technologies. ( looks
around the room and finds Trang ) That's him with the two men
in suits. He has a reputation for playing high stakes card games ...
Bond looks round, the poledancer is on the stage and she's got
very close to Bond. It _is_ her ! She and Bond connect their
eyes for a moment, then she's away, beckoned by Trang ...
Ariadne: And wasting his money on beautiful women.
Bond: I may like him. We share two of the same pursuits.
The girl is giving Trang some private attention but then he is
angered and pushes her away. She dance back to the stage and
Trang leaves ...
Announcer: Let's hear a warm hand for Elektra Valentine !
There is a round of semi-enthusiastic applause of the woman.
Bond looks round, Trang's heading towards the casino ...

Bond follows Trang towards the elevator but the doors close just as
Bond reaches the door. Ariadne steps up beside Bond.
Ariadne: You could get us killed ...
Bond: I like to live dangerously.
The next lift arrives, Bond gets in and Ariadne doesn't straight away.
She looks at him, not wanting him to go, but then she gets in, the lift
doors close ...
Bond and Ariadne walk into the casino. Trang is at a baccarat table so
Bond strides up to him:
Bond: I hope it isn't too late to join the game ?
Trang: It's never too late. If your money is good, then you may join.
Mr ... ?
Bond: Sommerset. David Sommerset. And my money is always good.
Trang: Very well (nods to the steward-guy) Let him join.
The steward-guy slides some chips across to Bond and the game begins.
Bond plays on the 0, the 0 and the 7 and doesn't loose. Trang begins to
get irate:
Bond: Beginners luck.
Trang: Beginners luck can be deadly, Mr Somerset.
Bond: So can envy.
The game continues and Bond plays the same numbers, but lets Ariadne
pick the final card ... a loosing one.
Trang: It's nice to see that you beginners luck evaporated. I'd hate to
have to part with my money ...
Bond: Yes. It's been nice meeting you.
Trang leaves the room, followed by his two heavies. Ariadne circles to
Bond.
Bond: Thankyou for your 'assistance' ...
A waiter coems over to Bond, hands him a note. Bond reads it, nods to
the water, then looks at Ariadne, hands her a wad of cash:
Bond: Spend yourself a little happiness, Ariadne. I've got some
business to take care of in the bar ....
Bond walks off and Ariadne turns back to the gaming table.
Bond enters the casino to discover that the poledancer chick is sitting
at the bar, sipping a drink and conservatively dressed.
Bond sits beside her.
Woman: The gentleman will have a Vodka Martini, shaken. not stirred ...
Bond: Do you always come with compliments of the manager ?
Woman: It depends on the man.
Bond: You get all the good assignments.
Woman: A masseuse. A pole dancer. It's all the same to me.
Bond: I bet it is, Peaceful ...
Woman: My name is Catherine Tang. My friends call me Kitty.
Bond: Because you remind them of a cat ?
Kitty: No. Because given half a chance, I could scratch your eyes out.
Bond: Were you always this charming ?
Kitty: No. It took many years of schooling. Now, James Bond of Her

Sounds like a great script you have there, Harmsway!
Just one thing though - did you somehow break into my house and read my ONLY TIME WILL KILL script? The Q scene (place, gadgets, car exit) are nearly identical!

And a potential proper title: ANGELFIRE.
Kitty: XanTech is a research company. It's boss, Edmund Armitage, is
British. He's currently on location in Cairo. Dragon Trang is his right hand
man ... XanTech are currently working on something called AngleFire. I
have no idea what the project is about but it's top secret ...
Bond: Top Secret, Kitty ? Not for much longer I'll wager, now that I'm on
the case !
Dissolve Through To:
XanTech owns an imposing modern building somewhere on the outskirts
of Athens. It's huge and impressive.
And, inside:
Bond is being led down a corridor by an attractive secretary woman. The
duo enter a frosted glass door leading to an attractive office ( think the
office in the BioDome during DAD ) and Dragon Trang sat behind a desk.
Trang reacts, he recognises Bond:
Trang: Mr Somerset ?
Bond: Yes. I'm with the London Financial Times. We booked an interview
with you. Last night was just some ...
Trang: Fieldwork ?
Bond: Precisely, Mr Trang.
Trang doesn't trust Bond one iota.
Trang: Of course, Mr Somerset. Tania, fetch us some refreshments ...
The secretary leaves.
Trang: So, what can I do for you, Mr Somerset ?
Bond: There are a few things I'd like to talk to you about. Number one
on my agenda is something I've been hearing about ( looks at a pad,
then looks up ). What can you tell me about ... Angelfire ?
Trang: Angelfire ?
Bond: Yes. I was told that XanTech were working on something known
only as Angelfire ...
Trang: Your sources must be telling you lies, Mr Somerset.
Bond: Only little white ones, Mr Trang.
Trang: Yes, Mr Somerset. I'm afraid to say, Mr Somerset, though your
source may have got you all excited, they are most incredibly wrong ...
Bond removes his mobile phone from his pocket, taps a button on it and
the screen lights up. Whilst the conversation continues, we see the
screen reading ... DOWNLOADING PROCEEDING
Bond: Really ? Well, I'm sorry. My mistake ...
Trang: Anything else, Mr Somerset ?
Bond: I'm also told that you've aquired some properties in Egypt. Is this
also a little white lie ?
Trang chuckles:
Trang: No, Mr Somerset, it's not. We have. Our CEO, Mr Armitage has a
unique interest in archaeology. He's recently bought some recently found
ruins in the Egyptian desert ...
Bond: I must see them someday, Mr Trang. I am somewhat an amateur
archaeologist myself ...
Trang: Really ? Perhaps you could visit the holdings then ?
Bond: Perhaps ... ( notices a chess set ). I see you also play chess.
Trang: I'm an amateur.
Bond: Come now, Mr Trang.
Trang: Perhaps you'd like to play ...
Bond: Of course.
They play chess, though we, of course, only get to glimpse it in a few shots. It looks like Dragon Trang is winning ...
Trang: Checkmate, Mr Bond.
Bond's phone beeps, he picks it up, taps a button:
Bond: Oh, dear, Mr Trang. It looks like I'm required elsewhere. I really
must be going ...
Bond rises to leave, shakes Trang's hand, pockets the mobile.
Bond: Thankyou for your time, Mr Trang.
Bond exits, walks past the bathroom and sees a card swipe to a secure area nearby. He palms a checkcard, walks over to the card swipe and then swipes it through the card swipe. The swipe goes green and Bond
smiles ...
Then, he turns, walks into the bathroom, wets his hands and walks out just as the secretary walks up to him:
Secretary: I'm awfully sorry, Mr Somersett.
Bond: It's fine ...
Beat, we cut to outside the building with the Jag. Ariadne is sitting in
the Jag with a laptop as Bond gets in ...
Ariadne: Everything we wanted in one quick visit. It's just like Christmas.
But, this christmas present is wrapped tightly. All the information has been encrypted, James ...
To be continued ...
Kitty: XanTech is a research company. It's boss, Edmund Armitage, is
British. He's currently on location in Cairo. Dragon Trang is his right hand
man ... XanTech are currently working on something called AngleFire. I
have no idea what the project is about but it's top secret ...
Bond: Top Secret, Kitty ? Not for much longer I'll wager, now that I'm on
the case !
Dissolve Through To:
XanTech owns an imposing modern building somewhere on the outskirts
of Athens. It's huge and impressive.
And, inside:
Bond is being led down a corridor by an attractive secretary woman. The
