An alternative ending was shot. It is about a minute long and takes place after the ending we got. Bond meets Mr White who shoots him. Kind of like the end of FRWL, the novel. It was cut because the film makers where unsure if they wanted to go on with their plans for the third Craig film to be the end of a trilogy.
For me : Bond dies ? I won’t be watching it x I will stay at home and watch REAL Bond films by Connery /Lazenby/Moore/Dalton & Brosnan.
I don’t think I would be able to watch any CraigBond films ever again as I know he dies at the end of it all so what’s the point ?
What I find interesting is that a small minority think Aidan Turner needs to be the next bond soooooooooooooooo bad that first they hated and made fun of all competitors then made fun of Daniel Craig and now it’s the producers fault so they need to be replaced.
I read the Spectre leaks and nothing shocked or surprised me nor do I feel the producers are incompetent or stupid. Again let’s look at Cubby and Harry everyone claims they are so brilliant but I still say luck had a lot to do with it that being said look at how the lost money because of Harry’s original idea to involve elephants in the climax of the man with the golden gun (something Cubby only found out about after Harry sunk money into it) of how the original script of Dr. No had he villain being a monkey... again the two of them had as much production woes as the “kids” do possibly more so because at least Eon doesn’t have to worry about Mclory showing up and sueing everyone (I’m sorry but the way the Spy who loves me plays out blofield being the villain makes ten times more sense when looking at the brutal nature of his death) again we had not one not two not three but four Americans nearly cast (Clint Eastwood Adam West John Gavin and James Brolin) again if the internet existed during those decades the field day people would have...
As for me I will remain hopeful Eon thinks they can get a director and release the film on time great.
Death is not the end. Bond 26 can take place on the astral plane.
I have read that as well. Who knows what really transpired in that scene? Shame it hasn t been released.
Don't worry Bazza, the movie might never get made at this rate. EON might have to accept SP as their SWANSONG.
Who's "they"? In another few years MGW will be eighty and he hasn't been well for some time. I doubt he'll have much impact on Bond 26. Gregg does not seem remotely ready to come on as an apprentice producer, and Barbara does not seem that interested with the idea of Bond films without Craig. You could tell by how the Brosnan era was such a greatest hits package, that she doesn't really have a passion for the movies outside of what she has been able to do with Craig in the role. Even then, the repeated 4 year gaps seem to suggest that her passion is waning. That's not a hidden agenda, or "wishful thinking". She just doesn't seem as determined as Cubby was.
Cool.
Although it might/might not be true, how do you actually know this? Have you met them, or worked with them?
The internet told him.
He and Panchito share that crystal ball, it seems.
Bigelow would be great. Fargeat made a great flick with REVENGE, but I'm not so sure she's right for Bond. I'd have to see what themes her follow-up flick would have, but the aforementioned film wasn't exactly subtle with its feminist themes and obviously that doesn't work for Bond.
I would love if Mimi Leder were to take on a Bond film. THE PEACEMAKER proves she can pull-off some large-scale action as well as make politics slick and interesting.
Well, what do you think? Does Gregg Wilson strike you as someone ready to take on a franchise like Bond in a main producer role? Maybe he is, but it would surprise me if he was, that's all I'm saying. I can't see Babs carrying on without Craig or MGW there, and with only Gregg for support. I wasn't thinking about it until Bazza shared that article about EON WANTING to kill of Bond, but Bond 25 could be their SWANSONG too, hence the one picture deal. And if this current development hell continues, which it could, the project could fall apart and EON might end up selling up anyway.
She's just finishing up The Rhythm Section for Eon (which is due for release in February). She had a huge degree of buzz for the Handmaiden's Tale. I'm pretty certain she can deliver a good script and has years of experience as a cinematographer.
She's directed one feature film and has another in post (she's as experienced a director as Demange)
Do you think that they'd scrap the sets or try to figure out how to put them in the story a la SP?
I would assume at this point, since the producers are going out to directors, that they're going out to them with the script they want to use. Namely the Hodge script-- which they own.
Writers will be brought on to polish this script, with the guidance of the new director (with usual input from producers/partners (EoN and Universal)).
The sets being built will not be forced into a "new" story/script. They will be from the existing script that they're going out to producers with.
And thus completes the circle...
Please keep in mind that this notion of Eon wanting to kill Bond came from THE SUN NEWSPAPER.
When in doubt, go back to Fleming. I'm pretty sure Babs is on the record as saying that, as is Cubby.
You are aware that Fleming himself had considered killing Bond, aren't you?
You are aware that all those accusations towards Barbara Broccoli are lifted from tabloid journalism at best, aren't you?
I am aware of that. It makes sense though and the Sun isn't always wrong...
Don't write off 'tabloid' journalism too fast, as it makes sense in the scheme of things and the 'revelation' is quite detailed. Some points I made about them wanting to change into a gay/female/black Bond are facts, mind you. I edited my post to 'IF true'.
