The rumor mill’s grist got heated early this week when it was discovered that Colonel Moon is supposed to be the villain’s name for Bond 20 and therefore, the title of Bond XX!

The dread Colonel is a North Korean renegade soldier, and all-around baddie who takes Bond hostage. Surprise! That has only occured 21-plus times in the Bond movies. What will they think of next! 😉

Colonel Sun was the name Kingsley Amis gave to his creation, a dread villain of a more literary stripe who tortured Bond exquisitely in the book of the same name.

The rumors are flying more quickly now that it has been discovered that no less a Bond luminary than Pierce Brosnan’s sometime stunt double and stand-in, Douglas James, has purchased the domain name www.ColonelSun.com! What does James [Douglas, not Bond] know that we don’t yet?
