A few days ago we got some behind-the-scenes shots from Bond 25's shoot in Jamaica, and were treated to the sight of Daniel Craig knocking around in a Land Rover Defender and in possession of an absolutely preposterously huge gun.

And now Twitter's tipsters reckon that they've chanced upon the name of the upcoming film. After rumoured titles like Shatterhand and Eclipse comes: A Reason To Die.

Yes, it does seem deeply ironic that extremely jealously guarded details of a film about an international super-spy would end up leaking because they've been written on a bit of paper, in bright red board marker, in block capitals. It's too deeply ironic to be believable.

Add to that the fact that Craig's Bond has tended toward single-word titles of late - A Reason To Die sounds like a rejected Pierce Brosnan title. Take this with industrial quantities of Maldon's finest.

However, the fundamental flimsiness of the source has not stopped the Bond fandom from becoming angered by the very idea of A Reason To Die.

Others have offered their own alternative titles.

That might actually be one long title, it's hard to tell. It's also a bit of a surprise to find out that there's a scouse 007 who takes care of SPECTRE's forays into Merseyside and west Lancashire. Presumably he's out there right now, meeting Q at the top of Radio City Tower, stopping kids from skating around St John's shopping centre, patiently explaining to American tourists that the Cavern Club isn't the original Cavern Club because it got demolished during some Merseyrail work in the early 70s.
