After I finally saw the theatrical cut of No Time To Die (NTTD) I wanted to create a new version so Bond lives, and also be much, much shorter overall.
I thought NTTD was an over-bloated mess. It has beautiful imagery yes. Some of the shootouts and tense scenes are awesome to watch in the environments they're happening in. The callback to On Her Majesty's Secret Service (OHMSS) was actually nice to see, but the Dr. No callback not so much. I know Bond's wife dies in OHMSS so someone dying at the end of NTTD makes sense, like poetry. But I thought the poetry was kind of bad, so I rewrote it and made them all live in a wholesome Bond sort of way.
Also, the original death scene where we get all the various character's reactions to Bond being obliterated by hellfire had me laughing. I was cringing. The music was swelling! Had me dying... The story is mostly very full of itself, but the cinematography and action was fantastic.

"In the year 2099, with the new millennium only 8 months away, a large, advanced, underwater salvage vessel known as Auriga 7 glides quietly, deep under the ocean surface. On board: a small military-detachment of engineers, their tech, and enough remaining provisions for several months. The few luxuries the crew had the Lieutenant would call contraband. But the men had their vices and much need to blow off a little steam now-and-again. It seemed to affect the Captain the most; the Lunar War back in 2075. With Earth's atmosphere forever crippled from it, and even though travel between Mars and the moons of Jupiter were becoming commonplace, the Boss rarely liked to surface, preferring to spend his time in the endless swaths of deep blackness. But the Captain may have to abandon the team’s current mission. Ship sensors have picked up an unknown signal that leads them into the furthest reaches of an uncharted abyss. Something stirs; waiting, lurking in the depth."
