Timothy Dalton only starred in two James Bond movies during his run but he also had a few unmade adventures, including a scrapped 007 prequel.
Timothy Dalton's run as James Bond proved to be short-lived, but there were some unmade 007 adventures he almost starred in. It's been argued - and the actor himself would have agreed - that Roger Moore stayed on in the role of Bond for too long. He retired from the part following 1985's A View To A Kill, having played the spy for seven movies.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 1 The Living Daylights: Prequel Version An early plan for Bond 15 - which became The Living Daylights - would have been an origin story for the titular spy. As revealed in the book The Lost Adventures of James Bond, a treatment was co-written by longtime franchise writer Richard Maibaum and co-producer Michael G. Wilson and saw a young Bond train under an experienced agent called Trevor Burton.
Considering the fact it took another six years for GoldenEye to arrive, and that Dalton was replaced by Brosnan, some might assume that was a result of License To Kill's performance. That wasn't the case, as not only was Dalton set to return for Bond 17, but there were early plans for a Bond 18 with the actor too. The story for Bond 17 involved the spy heading to Hong Kong to investigate a businessman called Sir Henry Lee Ching.
3 Reunion With Death Legal issues prevented Bond 17 from happening, and Dalton's seven-year contract ended in 1993. While he briefly considered returning for GoldenEye, he eventually decided against it as he would have had to commit to more than one film. Amid the franchise's legal woes, a story treatment was developed for a potential fourth Dalton outing dubbed Reunion With Death. This sent Bond to Japan, where he would have taken on the Yazuka.
