In this article we’ll look at the fan made trailer for Risico by Jake Levy. Currently with 662,924 views on YouTube. (Scroll to bottom to see trailer). I’ve also included a short interview with Jake and learn ‘how to make a fan made trailer’.
BUT FIRST
What is Risico? Risico is a chapter from Fleming’s For Your Eyes Only, considered to be one of the best titles never used for a celluloid Bond.
In Risico, Bond is sent by M to investigate a drug-smuggling operation based in Italy that is sending narcotics to England.
Both the plot and the chapters’ characters have already been mined for the Roger Moore film For Your Eyes Only the film so why revisit?
Well it has a kick-ass name for one and so many of the James Bond films are loosely based on the novels so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that Risico could be used for Bond 26, 27 and so on.
In Moonraker for example James Bond never left the UK. Quantum of Solace was also well removed from the original short story.
Other original Fleming titles “Property of a Lady” and “The Hildebrand Rarity” are still available, although the Hildebrand Rarity was already referred to as a safehouse in the movie Spectre.
The fan made trailer doesn’t quite topple the Roger/Spectre mash up trailer, but that’s probably because I’m sentimental towards ol’ Rog.
