AT THIS POINT IN THE FRANCHISE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY IT CAN GO.

Just looked up what original Fleming titles are remaining, we have two stories in "For Your Eyes Only" titled "Risico" and "The Hildebrand Rarity", and we have a story in "Octopussy" titled "Property of a Lady". None of those sound like movie quality titles. Perhaps Quantum of Solace is the last Bond movie to be blessed with an original Fleming title. Anyway, I had hoped they would disregard the previous films and go ahead and continue Casno Royale with an adaption of Live and Let Die, which was the original sequel to Casino Royale.

But that is not a very good title for a movie.
I too wanted a serious hard hitting re-make of "Live and Let Die" with story elements closer to the ones Fleming used in his original novel.
Then a re-make of "Moonraker" would follow. The only re-make that they would not be able to do based on the original book story elements is "The Spy Who Loved Me".
"Fleming was not happy with the book and consequently only gave permission for the title to be used when he sold the film rights to Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli."

"007 in New York"
Fleming originally wrote this very short story (it’s only eight pages) for The New York Herald Tribune in 1963 where it was first published as Agent 007 in New York. (Fleming’s original title was Reflections in a Carey Cadillac.) The story was later included in Fleming’s non-fictional work, Thrilling Cities, a travelogue collection of the author’s impressions of various cities around the world. The story was included in this book as a counterpoint to Fleming’s own harsh judgment of the city, and to alleviate fears that American readers would take offense. Fleming may not love New York, but James Bond does, so… Strangely enough, 007 in New York only appears in the U.S. edition of Thrilling Cities. The first UK publication of the short story wasn’t until 1999 when it was featured in a Sunday Times supplemental magazine tie-in with The World Is Not Enough. When Ian Fleming Publications reissued all the Fleming titles in 2002, 007 in New York was at last included as part of the official canon, appearing in the Octopussy collection.

That reminds me, They could use the title "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" can't they? Not an original Fleming title, but yet it has connections to Bond lore of the past such as the titles "Licence to Kill" and "The Worlds Not Enough" had right? The title "Thrilling Cities" may be good as a title for a Bond film as well.

But the books were real sequels to one another. Live and Let Die follows Casino Royale, it refers back to events that took place in Casino Royale, it is a true sequel to Casino Royale. The movies are much more disconnected from one another than the books are. That is not to say that you can't pick up any James Bond book and enjoy it on its own without having read the book before it.

I like the title Quantum of Solace. It is a fitting title considering the plot of the film and all Bond has been through up to that point.

Read the books. They're awesome fun without being overly high-minded. You'll especially love stuff like Moonraker, Live and Let Die, and You Only Live Twice and how the stories blow their celluloid counterparts out of the water.
