I think the image above is before some people standing up, and before the Hinx incident. And well, if some you wonder who the guy at the center of the image here, I think many in the audience will feel the same. It would be weird to have it an unknown, direction wise. Also I don't see any Hinx on the image, and he's supposed to be away from Oberhauser. We'll see.
It could also be an image just for the trailer, just like Oberhauser's line.
Oberhauser's line wasn't just for the trailer...
A non-spoiler way of putting it: It's an attempt to do a "classic" Bond adventure while retaining the style of the earlier Craig films.
Which sounds deliciously terrific.
Thanks @Ottofuse8
This increases my optimism that SP will be the film I hope it will be. Lots of talent involved, and tons of potential.
Yes it is. The line in the script has "Stranger" instead of "James", and he reveals he knows Bond is here only at the very, very end of the scene in a dramatic manner, before Bond escapes. It's unlikely IMO they rewrote everything so that Oberhauser talks about Bond a bit earlier.
I'm afraid this non-spoiler way miss the "it's personal once again" aspect of it.
From reading the script and watching the video blogs/ teaser trai
I honestly have a lot of confidence in this film, and am very excited for it. For me, although it is a great film, SF feels like a sort of "first go" at it for Mendes, while from the material we have so far I get the feeling that his experience with bond is really going to shine now, and he's going to be able to do a lot more.
"It's personal once again" is part of the style of the earlier Craig films, is it not?
Yes but with the end scene of SF, a lot of fans thinks the "classic mission" is back for sure. The return of Dench will surprise many IMO (except that I think it will be all over the media a few weeks before the release). So even when you say it's the same style, how can someone figure this out ? I guess it's impossible to actually talk about spoilers in a non-spoiler way !
If the M as a traitor script had been kept, I really wonder how long the spoilers would have last. It would have twisted the meaning of several scenes of SF, one would have had to wait one year before "really" discussing SF then !
My original comment was it was an attempt to do a "classic" Bond movie while retaining the style of the Craig films. I still think it's a perfectly accurate description.
Meanwhile, now that WikiLeaks has set up a searchable database of the Sony documents, others -- if they are so inclined -- can search SPECTRE-related material and see for themselves.
Daniel Craig lost $5m on product placement deal
Sony's electronics division were keen to have one of their phones - the forthcoming Sony Xperia Z4 - featured in the new Bond film, SPECTRE.
The sticking point was that the film's executive producer, Barbra Broccoli, was demanding a placement fee. So Sony's marketing chief George Lyon came up with a plan.
Noting that $5m (£3.3m) had already been earmarked to pay Daniel Craig for pictures of him using the phone, he suggested: "What if we take the Daniel Craig fee and convince Sony just to pay Barbara directly $4m for a placement fee?
"No Daniel this time. We walk from him. The remaining $1m (or LESS!) of this budget can be used to hire 'Q' instead?"
The documents do not disclose how this tactic played out.
Yeah, I think so too @JCRendle. I know the script won't be followed exactly but in the script it says that you can see the old MI6 building from C's office but City Hall and the SIS building are nowhere near each other.
I'm guessing if this is still the case, they'll add the MI6 building in post.
But yeah using the City Hall as the CNS makes sense.
Yes, I was also confused with that matter but for sure they are suing the City Hall as the CNS.
Now I wonder how many will resist.
However, the pdf files are not searchable. You still have to know where to look if you want to know what the producers think of the "Bond fans" :)
Ps : Mods, now that one can read the leaks without actually downloading anything, what's the status with respect to the discussion about them here ? Now one only has to type "Bond clown" on the form of Wikileaks to try to find out if at one time they thought about doing an Octopussy tribute in SPECTRE. There are many interesting things we have right now, instead of waiting a few years for an author to write them in some book...
And you know that, if the leaks thread are full of very obsolete ideas (like Blofeld being an "ugly lesbian" played by Tilda Swindon or Meryl Streep, etc, etc), then I think that somehow there will be less fear this thread will itself leak on other threads with big damage results.
So far, except for Gustav Graves' behaviour with the Madeleine is White's daughter spoiler on the Production thread, everyone has been quite neat with respect to that. But on the other hand, the DB5 being back in SP became a "non-spoiler" just because of one paparazzi photo, it shows that the line is thin between what is allowed and what is not...
or if there was emails from wikileaks referring to possibly working with Chris Nolan on bond 25 (I don't think their are but I haven't combed through ever email nor would I Ever do such a thing) could that be discussed in terms of the next one?
The DB5 became non-spoiler because of a tweet from Sony.
