The titles in the scripts are just Purvis/Wade's ideas. Kleinman could come up something totally different.
But the idea of seeing Bond's time in the services pre-00 status (SBS/SAS photos, Bond's CV and his ID card) but it was not Title Sequence material. Though we did get an idea of it with the CR website at the time.
Cool! Where is this?
The person who posted this over on 'Production Timeline' said it was in Morocco, where the sequence is set. If it is definitely, I'm not sure.

I regretted reading it a bit as it spoiled all the scenes in the film for me but I'm glad I did read it, because it rid me of all my fears over the film. Also there is little actual dialogue noted, so it is not a total spoiler. It proved to me that SP is about Bond and his mission with just enough of the M16 team involved but not too much as I had also feared. I also liked all the screen time for Swan and Blofeld. Also tons of action stuff is in this scene outline, even more than all the pictures and press have been revealing.
I can see what P & W were brought in to do, goose up the action and rewrite the 3rd act. They obviously weren't hired to work on the dialogue, that is not their strong suit, action is. I hope it is accurate. It greatly increased my optimism that SP will be a huge hit.
Only question is, what actually is it, and where is it located?
I would love to think so. As written, the climax didn't really do it for me. It didn't really seem to make any sense as to why Blofeld would turn up there and being in London again felt too much like a retread of SF.
Even though it was clunky I kinda liked the idea behind the Solar Furnace bit. Maybe they reworked it after all or perhaps they are saving it for Bond 25. There's the new set pictures of the fuel tanks which may or may not be legit. The whole thing does seem a bit like the QoS climax at the eco hotel. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully there are a few surprises.
The Dec script struck me as pretty finished, barring the odd dialogue tweak.
What is interesting though, might be whether Estella comes to London as girl in flat.
I'm betting yes, and that she stays a good girl.
No Spectre eyes in flat.
I find the whole London girl thing a shame, because after Irma being cut it would have been nice to have a sort of "bad-girl" in some respects, but oh well.
Springfield Power Plant .
Very funny @Mrcoggins ...
Other two scenarios of course are Estrella comes to London as either good or bad , but I think she'd stay good.
But key question is, how real is the rumour that Estrella becomes girl in flat?
With that in mind, could someone explain this infamous Mickey Mouse line? I've heard a lot of slack against it and I'm just wondering exactly what it could be.
Very happy we are getting many Bond girls in SP after monk Craig in SF and QOS. MP is not a Bond Girl, and blink and Sererine was (wrongly I think) gone in SF. I'm particularly thrilled with having the sexy, talented, unpretentious, wonderful Lea as the main Bond Girl, who I think will become a big, big star after SP. I don't always agree with Mendes' choices (Logan and Newman), but he selected Lea so I'm very happy with that.
It's not as bad as people make out at all, just a throw away line during a brief conversation with a minor heavy who asks Bond who he is as he tries to get into the Spectre meeting. It's literally the least relevant issue of the script.
I agree that Bond needs to have more ladies. If I made SF, then MP would have remained as Eve, an MI6 field agent, slept with Bond and been killed in action instead of Severine. Then Severine could have made it out alive as I feel she deserved that. However in SP he does do an awful lot of shagging. There's Estrella, girl in flat, Monica and of course Swann.
Seydoux is wonderful, she would have made an excellent Vesper! Better yet she will play Swann though, who is a much tougher and attractive Women compared to the simpering Ms.Lynd.
Are you comfortable acting in English?
Since I like accents, I practiced with a coach at my request. I've never done so in French, but it could be interesting. French, oddly enough, is a very complicated language for cinema. It is a flat, harsh language, and it struck me several times to the fact that it lacks musicality. English is more pliable and malleable to play (act).
How it like being the next French James Bond girl Madeleine Swann, an eminently Proustian name?
This kind of action film is a large machine, for which it is highly prepared. I have for example a scene in which I dismantle a gun. I had to see the head of the weapons thirty times to know how to do it, to be ready at the time of the shooting, to have a fast and efficient movement.
I am glad that this gun dismantling scene is still in the script and that Léa is going to do this for real (and not her stunt double.)
Thank you for this info and confirmation of an element in the script! @leas_mole
