Macbeth had 5 Acts.
And I agree, all this talk of "Acts" is silly. It's not a coincidence that screenwriting poseurs on the web - those who talk the talk - and people who write screenwriting manuals - truly the last refuge of the illiterate - are big on how many acts, how long each runs, etc.
That being said, it's neat that the singer of one of the greatest songs to come from a Bond film will get a (humourous) nod in an EON production.
:)) That better not be the picture that Bond finds in the movie
Young Bond (early Hilary Bray disguise) does look very menacing though, and Ernst is already bald. No wonder he took the supervillain path.
#-o ....please say before lol
it's before the previews
@PanchitoPistoles mentioned it earlier when discussing the early development of the film.
Apparently Mendes attempted to leave the film when they hit a brick wall with the script.
Ok well they're getting closer.... I can live with that lol
The A-team for example
Swann, I think is potentially one of the more demanding Bond-girl roles.
Mainly because I do believe Eon is trying to parallel her with the great love of Bond's life, Tracy, and if that is the case, the character is almost certainly doomed going forward.
The brazen replication of the OHMSS settings is very telling.
This is an interesting technique to attempt to mirror much of the original Fleming story, in retelling the story, witout actually retelling it.
The original Bond movie timeline had a 40 year run, with the Tracy tragedy appearing only 7 years in, thus it was part of Bond's history for 14 films over 33 years.
The Tracy legacy on screen has been fully milked. Far more so than in Fleming's chronology, as Fleming managed only two more books after Blofeld and Bunt murdered Tracy.
So its not that crazy to re-do the Bond mythos in an alternative universe setting.
And this time Bond going forward, will not only have the Tracy legacy but also the original Fleming Vesper history, which the original timeline did not include.
Maybe the Bond-Swann romance and tragedy, combined with the Vesper matter, not to mention all the trust stuff with Dench M, will serve to fully form Bond the man, once and for all, and set up a new actor to go forward as a fully realized James Bond, with this rich origins history.
Even the film timeline mirrors the novel timline; ie Vesper was 1953, with Tracy on the scene 10 years later in 1963, based on book publishing years.
If the Swann story is tragically concluded a la Tracy, that's also a roughly 10 year interval post Vesper.
As for Bond's age post Craig, who cares. This is cinema. Fantasy. Bond can be reintroduced as a young prime-age agent but with much experience, who happens to have this history.
Much the way we met the 31year-old Connnery in Dr. No, who was established immediately as a veteran agent with a long history, with his Beretta hand gun in particular.
The 5 Craig films or 6 possibly can stand as the Bond origins collection for the new timeline of Bond versus Spectre.
Meantime maybe HBO could get cracking with Eon, on producing a remake of all the Fleming novels and stories in chronological order, and faithful to the original plots, as an HBO series. Do set these original stories in the modern context to avoid brazen remakes of the '60s films.
All of the Fleming stories and characters are easily tweaked and moved forward in time.
Maybe way off in the future, the Fleming stories could be done yet again, by HBO, but this time in period setting with period attitudes and conventions.
Can anyone who is in the know confirm this without giving away too much?
Thanks. Once i have the answer, Ill try to avoid anymore till November.
No.
More Miu Miu outfits to come!?
Mind you Lea would look great draped in a burlap bag.
Her natural luminescent beauty would radiate forth.
This girl glows!

I'm sure too. - i don't want to be sulking into my Popcorn come November.
I must have watched OHMSS 3 times in the last fortnight to get my self into the mood. So beautifully shot.
First will there be a ski chase in the movie and is Seydoux character a goodie or a bady?
I'm trying to avoid as many spoilers as I can so simple answers for these questions
Thanks
Seydoux as far as I am aware, will be portrayed as a villain.
Martin
I'll counter that! I don't know what script you've read!
- There won't be a ski chase but will be another chase involving vehicles in Austria.
- Sedoux won't be portraying a villain.
And you're the same joker who claims to know who's singing the Bond theme. Riiiiiiiiight.
