It would seem likely that Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes would reveal what the next Bond movie is going to be called and a few of the book titles by Ian Fleming come to mind when it comes to the direction the movie is looking to take.
A few of the short story titles that could be considered include: Shatterhand, Death Is So Permanent, and Risico.

Shatterhand is the villain in Fleming's You Only Live Twice, which was already made into the movie. The villain in the story turns out to be Ernst Stavro Blofeld and with Mendes and Craig already teasing a return of the more traditional Bond bad guy, it could be the perfect scenario for the movie.
Death Is So Permanent is a chapter in Diamonds Are Forever, which was also already made into a movie. While this chapter doesn't have too much significance, it could be a hint at the "death" of James Bond that happened at the beginning of Skyfall and be a tie between the two movies.
Risico is the fourth short story in the For You Eyes Only anthology, which was another movie already made. While the story was used in the 1981 film, they could use the name again for a re-invented villain as both Craig and Mendes seem interested in bringing back some classic Bond to the new series.
Bond 24 is set to open in theaters on Nov. 6, 2015.
