    Denis could do something VERY interesting with the TSWLM novel.

    I like that. I like that a lot, and, I think, you’re right. Would audiences respond positively to a Bond film in which Bond is not the point of view character, structured like Dr. No insofar as Dr. No not appearing until the second half of the second act but casting a large shadow over the first half of the movie? That’s not a leading question. I’m genuinely interested in taking the temperature of that idea.

    Problem is Bond is barely in that novel

    Bond 26 will be better than Bond 25.

    I mean there could be an artsy take of TSWLM. Bond does have a job with some action in the story: he's saving a Russian defector from SPECTRE goons and Toronto gangs. Perhaps Viv could be linked to that main plot in some way and the first hour splits her and his perspectives evenly until they meet and Bond chases down Sluggsy and Horror (who are somehow linked to Bond's plot).

    Rather than stretching the TSWLM novel into something feature length I think it’s better suited to being condensed into a PTS. A beautiful woman in a remote location being harassed by some sinister goons during a storm…then a knock at the door revealing a shadowy figure and a crack of lightning reveals our new 007, cue some action scenes that are a little more high octane than the book describes.

    Hmmm, there's a fair amount of background about Québec in the novel TSWLM, but the social observations Fleming made are badly dated and have little to do with the reality of the place--even when he made them 60+ years ago.

    Villeneuve instantly becomes the second-most important Quebecer in the history of the franchise, after Harry Saltzman .... and arguably the second or third most important Canadian, give or take a Lois Maxwell.
