The name's 25. Bond 25, or rather, it's NTTD.

    Shatterhand. still my favourite of the ones mentioned. It sounds most Bondian to me, like Goldfinger or Thunderball.

    Wouldn't be surprised at all if it's announced as the title..despite what Babs wrote, it sounds most likely. And i would be perfectly happy with that!

    Shatterhand is the one I think is most likely, and the one that sounds the most Bondian.

    I've never understood the hysteria for Property of a Lady. Firstly, it doesn't sound very interesting, or very Bondian, and secondly this short story and its title was already referenced and used in the film Octopussy.

    Death to spies is my personal favourite.

    Shatterhand is Bondian too but when it was floated as a possible title a few months ago all my non-Bond friends made the obvious juvenile joke. I don’t think it’s really good enough for a title for that very reason, given how childish and sniggering social media is.

    Property of a Lady is very good but it sounds more like a Richard Curtis rom com.

    How about

    Spectreville as the obvious sequel to Spectre

    Nothing Propinks like Propinquity @-)

    From Russia With Love worked great. So can The Property of a Lady.

    Could actually explain why so little seems to be going on with the development of the adaptation of Ed Brubaker's excellent comic of the same name.

    From Russia With Love is a great title. It has mystery, and sounds like a spy love story.

    The Property of a Lady sounds like a rom-com at best. It is the least imaginative out of all the Fleming titles, (if you exclude 007 in New York, which is obviously not a great title).

    PROPERTY OF A LADY is beginning to appear to be more likely.

    Based on what? Just because the 007 codename is now the property of a woman? Come on...

    From Russia With Love IS a great title. But if it was an unused title considered today I expect modern scrutiny might say it sounds like a postcard or cheap romance novel, very non-Bond.

    Meanwhile history says if it's a great movie, the title takes on greatness. Whether it relates to the Bond Girl or villain's caper or otherwise, I'd like to see this Fleming title used eventually.

    Just my own thoughts based on the “leaked” GENOMA OF A WOMAN. That seems like a red herring, but the similarities are obvious. Nothing more than that.
    I hope I didn’t imply I have some inside knowledge.
    No need for “Come on...”, we’re all speculating here. Remain polite.

    It wasn't my intention to sound arrogant, my apologies.

    One thing I know for sure, The Property of a Lady would be far a better title than Genoma of a Woman. But I honestly think the chances of TPoaL being the title are pretty much close to zero.

    The Property of a Lady has many connotations, it could be dialogue thrown at Bond suggesting he is the property of Madeline for example. Personally I hope B25 is either Shatterhand or The Property of a Lady

    Or a mystery MacGuffin revealed late in the film. Or meaning overlaid several ways. Possibilities there.

    Wouldn't say "obvious", as it doe shave it's proponents (like me).

    007 in New York would be a shockingly awful title. You cannot be serious?

    I agree that titles take on a life of their own if the film is any good, and the remaining Fleming titles - Risico or The Hildebrand Rarity sound too weird, so I doubt they would ever be used. The Property of a Lady is the most normal sounding title left, but as I said before, the story and phrase has already been used before, and the title isn't particularly clever anyway, so I doubt this would ever be used.

    Shatterhand is really the only decent thing left for a Fleming-based title.

    Why would I say it if I wasn’t serious? Not everyone sees the world as you do.

    In all seriousness, if you look at the list of all previous Bond titles, then throw in `007 in New York', are you telling me that sits well alongside the likes of Goldfinger, For Your Eyes Only, Thunderball, A View To A Kill, OHMSS etc....?

    If you do, its a good job the world doesn't see things the way you do.... ;)

    I don’t see why it would bother you what anyone else would like or not like. You’re fairly rude about it. I have Bond films and characters that I absolutely cannot abide or see much of any merit in that others on here are very fond of. I’ll lay out my reasoning, but I’m not going to act like they’re absurd or question their judgement. They obviously get something out of it that I don’t.

    Fair enough, and sorry if you thought I was being rude.

    It would be a shame if Shatterhand was ruled out purely because of moronic opinions on Twitter or in the media.

    I don’t Twitter either, but apparently the title is hilarious. A certain English rag printed the same. Obviously none of them ever use the word shatter.

    What would you go on Twitter for anything? Facts? Barely. Other people's opinions? Well, I prefer to have (and formulate--a lost art) my own. News? The ingredients list on my cereal boxes makes for better news than whatever gets dumped in Twitter posts. Film "updates"? Please.

    Correct. Even the 'story' itself is a bit of a well-intended joke, an advertisement. I don't think Fleming would've appreciated it if this title were chosen for a film.

    But i would slightly change it to:
    A Bullet With Your Name On It.

    Reminds me of You Only Live Twice.

    And I would have the perfect Poster for that as well:

    Yes,i could go with that amendment to my suggestion.i like it =D>

    Or maybe :

    "The Future of my Past ."     - referring to Maddy, not Bond,and showing the future consequences of that past encounter.

    Of course you don’t. I’m not offended by others opinions, it’s when they get on others for theirs. I don’t like the meanness I get permeating off some people.
