She was not being Moneypenny in that scene, though. Heck, she never was Moneypenny in Skyfall, she only said "I'll keep working behind the desk from now on" at the end but she was an entirely different character at first. It was only in SPECTRE that we saw her be M's secretary.
And that's the problem really. If she'd been any other character she would have been great, but when you think of the character played by Lois Maxwell, Naomi Harris doesn't work as Miss Moneypenny. Harris should have just been a field colleague of Bond's and the whole "we never introduced properly"/"My name's Eve Moneypenny" exchange should have never happened.
What are you even talking about?
That's my thought as well, unless they're really playing with us. Remember Ellie Goulding tweeting "Live And Let Die" in summer 2015?*
*admittedly that was a different situation and I don't even think EON had a say in that, it was just Goulding doing a favour to Sam Smith.

Me too, it's just that I don't want Q to be overtly present like he was in Austria. MI6 staff should stay in London and only show in one or two brief scenes.
I feel like Mendes realized that Craig/Seydoux didn't have a ton of chemistry and compensated by cutting in longer scenes with actors with whom Craig did (Whishaw, Harris). But it's just a hunch.
Something went horribly wrong with the casting department with SP. That's what I would overhaul first.
Doesn't Bond always avoid a close death?
Google translated last paragraph:
"The artistic director revealed to us that the character of the Bond Girl would fit perfectly to the profile of Rachel Weisz. Since Daniel Craig's wife is pregnant, this quality casting will not take place, but it reveals the direction in which they want to go."
The Jolie rumour is suddenly much more credible.
But Boyle WAS in LA to finish some scenes for the Beatles film-- how did he know that?
I found the interview (it's actually more recent that I remembered): https://youtube.com/watch?v=BvImfsgWaBM
At 1:45 Boyle mentions that the story travels to LA. I remember when I first saw this last week I was a bit surprised because earlier I thought the whole movie would be shot in the UK, and scenes taking place in LA (outdoors scenes) would be quite difficult to shoot in Britain. My conclusion was that they have either shot the LA scenes before they started filming in the UK, or they would film those scenes at the very end of principal photography.
The video has only about 50 views, so it's likely that Cashley has not seen it, and I don't think Boyle filming in LA was mentioned anywhere else, so it seems Cashley does have some genuine sources after all.
What I was thinking. Honestly, I'd be about as thrilled with Jolie as I was when Halle was cast in DAD.
How show me one film where she was generally good outside of girl interrupted which I guess acting against Whoopi one would have to be decent
My dream crew, considering the already rumoured and confirmed crew members:
Director: Danny Boyle
Writer: John Hodge (and nobody else)
Composer: Daniel Pemberton
Cinematographer: Anthony Dod Mantle
Production Designer: Mark Tildesley
Editor: John Harris
Costume Designer: Suttirat Anne Larlarb
This would be an incredible crew, one of the best if not the best in Bond movie history.
