This only works on the premise that "James Bond 007" is the name and number given to the top 00 agent at any given time, and that when one dies or retires a new one takes his place, so each actor is actually portraying a separate character. Not only does this allow for the different faces and personalities but lack of aging over 50 years, in-universe it makes more sense than a spy telling everyone what his real name is.
Anyway, my idea was that Sean Connery would come out of retirement to play his Bond again, the first Bond, who is now a leader of a crime syndicate (or terrorist ring, or something). He's a bitter old man who's angry at MI6 for demanding so much of their promising young men before destroying their lives, and he's set out to destroy the agency. He's had all the training they have so he knows how to stay ahead of them and predict their moves, so Craig-Bond can't just punch his way to a solution. It would have a whole lot of revelations about MI6 and the nature of the 00 program and what happens to old cast-off spies.
It'll never happen because the studio has said they do not support the multiple agents hypothesis
And even if it were made it would probably have to be the last Bond movie ever
At the end Connery offers Craig a choice
1. spare him and join his organization
2. kill him and lead the organization and carry on Connery's mission of ending MI6
3. kill him and remain in the MI6 fold
He's not trying to force or coerce Craig into picking any one choice because, says, Connery, it's a choice freely offered, which is more than MI6 ever gave Craig
I haven't yet decided which one Craig will pick BUT I like this idea best
The pre-credits opening would start off like your typical Bond cold open but would wind up having Craig shut down and getting his ass handed to him at every turn because Connery doesn't fall into the typical villain pitfalls and monologues and such and invented half the techniques they teach current 00s, and Craig basically has to limp back to MI6 looking like a fool and has M fill him in on Bond Prime
Also Timothy Dalton would be Connery's right-hand man, because I always felt Dalton was the angriest of the bunch and if anyone went rogue it would be him
And the events of Die Another Day were a hallucination Pierce Brosnan was having while he was being tortured by the North Koreans
He never actually got out of there
Crimson King and Chiasaur have suggested that Roger Moore is the only one who got out with all his shit more or less together, and that there will be a nice quiet scene at his house in the country where Craig asks him to join him for one last fight and Moore says he's tired of being the hero, "leave me to my flowers"
At this point we dangerously approach the event horizon of fanfiction though
i think you should make this a real thing, hell make it a comic book
about "matthew pond" or something
Yes, yes, that one is my favorite. Love how Shirley Manson is a Terminator in the video and then a decade later she was an actual Terminator on the Terminator TV show.
The best Bond themes are the ones that spoil the entire movie's plot in hindsight or if you have an ear for symbolism. For instance, there's the subtle implication that Goldfinger loves gold and that Scaramanga will shoot anyone with his golden gun.
No but more seriously if you listen to the TWINE theme it should be immediately obvious that the bad guy is Sophie Marceau. Similarly, the Goldeneye theme all but rubs your face in how totally Trevelyan it is.

actual spoiler for a much-maligned and much-praised recent video game:
I played trivia at a bar last night, and one of the rounds had us matching up snippets of Bond theme songs to their respective movies. I'm so glad I listened to a bunch of the theme songs because of this thread.
Which reminded me that I haven't seen all of the movies.
So I looked around, and I don't think I can resist buying this.

SE++ is a town without street signs
i guess i should watch some of this craig bond stuff, huh
i don't watch many movies
the worst part about her was really the guns and roses thing
shitty band
i think you should make this a real thing, hell make it a comic book
about "matthew pond" or something
What?
Just
what
dooooo iiiiiiit
More like your face
Are you surprised to learn it is me
(you should not be surprised)

whenever you open that dumb mouthhole
nuttin' good comes out
Having a recurring villain doesn't necessarily they're in the same continuity, though. I mean, there's also the issue of the different Moneypennys.
So, just like Axl Rose then
I'm pretty sure Blofeld is aware of and references the events of his previous appearances, BUT I'll admit it's been a while and I don't know 100%
to hell with GNR
see what I mean?
you probably think you're being witty or something right now
but nope
still the worst
forever the worst

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT
gg came up with this at least a year before that
It could just be a shared history between continuities, like how everyone assumes WW2 happened.
Yeah goddamnit
Okay I'll have to make it less explicit
Nobody will ever actually say HERE ARE YOUR CHOICES
M directs him to kill connery and shut down his operation in the beginning of the film
connery himself offers the choice to join him mid film
love interest presents the choice to kill connery and take his place in the resting point of the film before the finale
I have given literally zero thought to who that should be
Single.
Moneypenny
george lazenby
Bond refuses and kills Connery because you know they can't stop making these damn movies
then he goes home and gets into a threeway with M and Moneypenny
Which reminded me that I haven't seen all of the movies.
So I looked around, and I don't think I can resist buying this.
