This does seem like the most likely scenario.
I always found the mirror and inside and outside hints very intresting. But OHMSS is my favorite Blofeld. On this moment i only having the wish to have two final Bond movies where Bond must deal with his depression alone (a reasen to see him gamble, smoking and having to much sex.) and need help of Felix/Cia and mi6 to stop Quantum/Spectre started there real story behind DC era.
I wil be disapointed if with a directer who is fan of AVTAK can't go to next level of Zorin type i see in Oberhauser, but also see in Drax, Gustav Graves, Eliot Carver and Dominic Green.
Disgusting, both to Paul Haggis and to the victims of sexual assaults. It's never good to cry wolf, it's worse to do it with malicious intent.
I'm really glad he's back on board, if it's true.
Did he "Americanize" Jane Eyre ? No. His nationality is of no consequence.
In hindsight, think about what a Raiders of the Lost Ark era Spielberg could have done with Bond.
This is coming from the man who made AVTAK and LTK? Both set heavily in the USA with predominantly staring American casts? Please.
True, as much as I like LTK, it does have a very strong "Miami Vice" vibe to it.
I think that was the point. That and budget cuts.
Don't feed the squirrels ;)
Paul Haggis is a tried and tested writer of real quality. I do, however, hesitate to give him too much credit for CR. He just had to put some more meat on the bone of an already excellent Fleming story.
:D
I think it's best when Haggis is polishing a Pervis & Wade script than have Haggis in charge of the entire thing.
"A director of great potential" would be more fitting.
Yes, and I hope that's case.
Yep, Paul Haggis initially wrote a draft of QOS that had Bond discover that Vesper had a child that was kidnapped by the organisation:

Of course, Bond isn't the father of the kid - but Eon were against the idea of Bond trying to find the child only to abandon it. However, those who know their Fleming novels, will remember that in YOLT Bond fathers a child before leaving Japan. The mother doesn't get enough time to tell him.
The idea of Bond having a child isn't too scandalous. I agree that Madeline may have had a child by the time Bond 25 starts.
Excited about this Paul Haggis news!
