that whole little exchange doesn't need to be in that scene at all.....
in the draft i read - the guard stops Bond, asks him to identify himself, Bond turns and says (in italian) "I'm mickey mouse a-hole, who are you?" - Bond then opens up his hand revealing the SPECTRE ring, then everything is ok...
how about Bond just puts the ring on, and when he walks to the door, the guard checks his hand to make sure he is wearing the ring - sees that Bond is wearing one, and so he lets him pass... the exchange between them is superfluous, it's better being dropped all together..
the line better suits John McClain than James Bond..
Really, all this, like the "Young James Bond" photos and the "Young James and Young Ernst" photo, will depend a lot on the direction and the acting to work or not. These photos will I think look like something major on screen (the camera will probably focus on it after a slow build something big is going to be revealed), and they mean "they were together as kids" and "Ernst is still living in the past"... (and Bond too ?)
In response to you saying you would minimize someone else's opinion? Seems like a pretty good response to me.
What? No, it isn't!
Is everyone here 15? Who lashes out at a movie someone is making?
Ironically, SF got some OTT criticism in the press for its treatment of the fate of the female characters (killing off the sexually abused Severine, killing off M and having the only other main woman take a desk job).
Either way, I'm pleased if Lucia isn't getting the Solange and co treatment. Becomes a bit too predictable.
By the way, I haven't read the December revisions yet, so I have no idea when the name Blofeld is mentioned in it. Is the name even mentioned? If it is, when? In the October draft the character has 3 different names (Oberhauser, Stockmann and Blofeld) which is really confusing and a little bit ridiculous...
It is mentioned how Craig has arrived in Austria ready for filming. It also shows how Monica Bellucci has arrived or at least someone who looks like her. What I wanna know is, if it is her (and I doubt it's Seydoux with dyed hair), why she's there, when all her scenes in the script were based in Rome?
Could her role in the film have been drastically changed to give her more scenes? Baring in mind, they may have not known they would get such a huge actress to play the role.
Here's the picture:
@PanchitoPistoles The picture is above. I don't know if it is her but the article states it is. The woman behind Craig.
Is he actually called Blofeld? I know C calls him Ernst at one point, but did it have Stavro or Blofeld?
I really like this character.
Solar furnace??!? I only have the december version, can someone explain what that was? I'm intrigued.
Plus, we're told SPECTRE sees and hears everything, surely it could be used as an example.. Already the fact that Madeleine is "caught" off-screen by SPECTRE at Charles de Gaulle Airport is a problem for me in this script.
To me this script looks like two movies crammed into one in particular because many things happen off-screen. Plus : there's all the C character scenes they may have had to add at the last minute.
But I don't recognize her in the video I must say.
They are cramming too much into this film and editing it is going to be be a bloody nightmare. So expect scenes that aren't that clear and plot holes eventually. I'm sure of it.
I remain positive though.
Exactly my biggest concern!
They will have a very difficult chalenge because all scenes are important, either for the maisn villains' scheme/plot development, or for establishing the relationship between Bond and Oberhauser, Bond and Madeleine, Bond eith M, Q and Monneypenny and M/Bond with C. And still there is Mr. White involvement in the plot.
And on top of that you have 6 (!!) major action scenes (PTS, Rome car chase, Austria plane vs car chase, train fight in Morocco, Villains lair destruction and climax in London). Oh boy!
Agree with this too. It isn't necessary and sounds out of place in Bond.
QoS had the same amount of action-scenes, and had an all-time low runtime, so I wouldn't worry. The amount of pages in the December script amounts to what would be a 130-150 minute movie, which I think is what we can expect.
@Zekidk hope you are right!
Neverthless the scenes in QoS (which i love by the way) were too fast edited and there werent as many non-action scenes as the projected for SP.
My concern was because the team directing this movie is the same as SK and not QoS. Tottaly diferent concepts of editing and plot/character develoment.
But .. We will just have to wait and see!.. and you will be probably right!
