Chosen Scenes:

The scenes I have chosen from to recreate from Director John Glen are from the 1987 film 'The Living Daylights'. 
The Living Daylights - UK cinema poster.jpg

Although this is indeed a Bond film, starring Timothy Dalton in the lead role, I have sensibly chosen several scenes that do not require any stunts or big action sequence. The three scenes actually run in sequence in the film itself and follows a small investigative story of the main character trying to work out how a certain person is involved in previously occurring events. 
I chose these scene s in particular because I believe that they would be quite simple to film and involves a small mystery with the added sense of humour in certain areas. Again, I will have to cast appropriate actors for the roles intended.
Here is a run down of the scenes:

Tram Scene:
Kara walks out of a building, Bond is by the wall. Kara walks past Bond who turns to watch her, then starts to follow.

Kara tries to escape, man grabs Kara and pulls her off of the tram. The cello case is left behind. Bond watches them, Bond POV.

Rifle Scene:
The tram pulls up, Bond exits the tram holding the cello case. Shot of public toilet exterior, Bond enters.
Interior of publi toilets, Bond walks in and enters a cubicle. Shost of a janitor looking as he sees Bond prop the cello case on the ground.
Bond is sat on the closed seat. He opens the cello case. He pulls out a sniper rifle. He relaeses the clip, the janitor looks on as he hears the clicking noise. Two blank bullets fall into Bond's hand. Close-up on Bond as he puts them in his right pocket.
He then takes a piece of paper from inside the cello case. It reads:
'Kara Milovy, Kvetinova' Uuce c 27 Bratislavia, Telefone' c'islo 63521'
It is her address and contact details.


Kara's home:
Shot of exterior of Kara's home, she walks up to the house and enters. The same car from earlier appears from around the corner and pulls up near the house.
Kara enters one of the rooms in her house, POV of Kara, it has been ransacked. Bond appears behind her with the cello case, she notices him as he comes into the room and puts the cello case against a small table.
Bond: I dropped the gun in the river. (closes the door behind him) KGB made quite a mess.
Kara: You're English. Who are you?
Bond walks towards the window and turns to face Kara, then he bends down to pick up a picture of a man.
Bond: I heard you play the consevatior yesterday. (stands up and faces her) It was exquisite. I saw what happened on the tram. (takes a look out of the window) Where'd they take you? (comes away from the window) KGB Headquarters?
Shot of Kara, confused.
Kara: They released me this morning.
Bond: Take a look across the street.
Kara moves to the window and looks out. POV Kara, she sees the car outside.
Bond: They let you go so they could follow you.
Bond sits down at a nearby table, the picture is still in his hand.
Kara: I don't understand. Why are you trying to help me?
Bond: What did Pushkin want? Did he ask you about Yorge Koskov? (puts the picture on the table, it is the man of whom Bond speaks)
Kara: He wanted to know where he was.
Bond: Did you tell him?
Kara: No.
Bond: That was clever of Yorge, using blanks. (shows Kara the blank sniper bullets) Made the British believe his defection was real.
Kara: How do you know that?
Bond: He told me.
Kara: You saw him?
Bond: Two days ago, he's safe and sound.
Kara: You're a friend of his?
Bond: We've been through quite a lot together.
Kara sits on the chair opposite Bond. she appars to be happy.
Kara: Yorge, he kept his promise that he'd send for me. Where are we going? To London?
Bond:No, not yet. The British think you'll be safe if we keep you moving around for a while. We might catch up with him in Vienna.
Kara: (stands up) Vienna?
Bond: But we must leave immediately, (stands up) before they pick you up again.
Kara: But how?
Bond: We'll manage. Get packed. You'll need some warm clothes.


Quick escape:
Bond looks outside the window once more as Kara walks off screen to pack. Bond POV of car outside. Shot of the driver of the car, looking towards the entrance of Kara's home. POV, sees Bond exit the house and head towards his own car. Then sees Kara head in the same direction with the cello case in her hand. She enters a telephone box.
A tram obscures the car driver's view of Kara. When it passes, Bond drives off in his own car. A shot of the exterior of Bond's car show that Kara was ducked so that no one could see her. she gets up and sits in the seat properly.


Bond: It looks like we got away with it.
