@Risico007, old pal, it was obviously meant as a joke - Mr. PC police ;) Read the rest of it? And what if a certain person was on the autistic spectrum? I know for a fact that a member of these boards probably is, and we all give him respect and a lot of slack sometimes, even though we don't know of his diagnosis, or any possible other. We like him because he isn't aggressive in his input, and is a valuable member (not naming him). Guy can be a genius sometimes. On the other hand, one or two members of the boards, by repeating their inputs in an aggressive manner can be quite insulting. That being said, and about @PanchitoPistoles, I like him and he clearly doesn't fit in that particular diagnosis (maybe a sociopath? See, another joke). His other inputs, that don't aim to diminish Barbara Broccoli, and that are not prophetic in what Nolan is concerned, are wonderful. He is quite the clever fella. That being said, if I openly said he sometimes comes across as autistic regarding Nolan, it was, again, a joke, and he is intelligent enough to know it. Some others have said he has an obsession with the guy, some called him a possible stalker. He probably laughs at this. He's just a super fan. I, for one, love Nolan. If it weren't for the Mendes films (dark and moody enough) I'd be all for him being Bond26 director. Although I would be more appreciative of his writing skills - we do need good writers.
lol, post of the day. Well done.
Yikes that sound even more melodramatic than SP. I don't need any flashbacks of what happened I want to see it happening at the moment not in a flashback.
Hahaha don't put ideas in their heads !!
Exactly !!
Totally agree .
I mean the same type of dream sequences that Ethan Hunt had in Fallout when he was thinking about Michelle Monaghan.
FYI, Fallout was much more melodramatic than people seem to remember - there was heaps of great action but Ethan is the most haunted he has been in that film. Plus, he's tittering on the edge of breaking his own moral code. Coupled with the fact that he has a very personal connection to the villain, who in turn is manipulating and personally-implicating Ethan into his scheme. Fallout was basically a Daniel Craig-era Bond film....it even looked bleaker than the usual brightly coloured Mission films.
I think with Fukunaga in charge we'll get something similar to Fallout and SF/SP and also:
⚫ More drama and a nihilistic/bleak tone.
⚫ Perhaps more style and a more modern look than the traditional SP.
⚫ Long-tracking shots of action (we have no idea how he'll handle a big-budget set-piece, hopefully more excitingly than Mendes)
⚫ More real-world politics (see Sin Nombre and Beasts of No Nation)
If they kill Madeline off, could it be QOS all over again in terms of a revenge driven plot over a loved one?
Are we getting a direct sequel to SP? Perhaps Blofeld comes back. Does he escape? Just as what we saw in MI Fallout
So many possibilities
Im sick to the back teeth of revenge and rogue Bond situations.
I have noticed lots of people mention a Silence of he Lambs type role for Blofeld in Bond25. I wonder if they could take it a step further with Blofeld mentoring and influencing a young psychotic villain played by an actor like Rami Malek.
Unless -
Q has just picked up some cat food. The he gets mugged walking home! Scoobies Assemble! This time, it's so personal.
Nothing would surprise me anymore.
This. This was mentioned a while back and I LOVE this idea. A Silence of the Lambs type adaptation could really be cool with Blofeld orchestrating devastating events behind bars. Swan could serve as the psychologist assigned to him, while Bond has to go on a mission to counter Blofeld's plans.
SP does suffer from melodrama due to its piss-poor scripting but I don't think either SF or Fallout are victims of it at all.
Drama only really becomes melodrama when it starts to overshadow the plot. SF was compelling enough to me, with a clear enough goal and simplistic enough narrative, to not suffer. Fallout didn't suffer at all as the dramatic stuff was just a backdrop. The film never lost sight of the core goal which was the plutonium/bombs.
I remember writing something not dissimilar a while back...
The truth is Blofeld has never really worked as the main villain, he always was more effective in small doses where he lurked in the shadows. If there was a narrative reason why Bond would need to turn to Blofeld for information and visit him in prison, that would be cool. It would allow Christoph to cameo (and possibly do some trademark scene-stealing) without overwhelming the film. He would basically have as big a role as Mr White in SP.
But it looks as though Eon are after a younger American actor for the lead villain. They may pull a The Dark Knight Rises and have the villain be some young, progressive, protester-type who wants to upset the established order but has become radical in his nihilistic ambitions...or some Zuckerberg-Fake News mogul.
I could live with this, too. Though admittedly it's incredibly ridiculous to have Swann, of all people, be assigned to him.
This was my first thought; it’s a good concept but she would never be assigned to him.
The only issue I have with this (and it's a big one) is that Silence of the Lambs is one of the most iconic films of its kind. It's almost 'seared in the memory' legend, as is Lecter and Jodie Foster's Clarice. So iconic in fact that the sequels fell flat when attempting to recast characters (Hannibal) or revisit the premise (Red Dragon).
So a possible issue is unfavourable comparisons with what is still the definitive depiction of that kind of scenario.
This reminds me that I need to revisit that trilogy and Manhunter soon.
I had speculated earlier that he may save her from herself (if she is in fact a closet villain). However, it's just as likely that she may save him from himself - in other words they may execute better on what they were attempting to do in SP, but this time more explicitly on account of her professional skills.
The idea is ridiculous, but no more so than anything in SP, and might just work.
It's about time we saw Bond one step ahead of the woman rather than reacting to them.
