Well I hope it allows you to find your Quantum Of Solace... what I am suggesting is rather then Shatterhand being Blofield alias as in the book it’s a completely new character but usuing the name from the book a bit like octopussy the name cake from Fleming but the character is original
That could be interesting, but I think that would really split the fans. I think Octopussy worked because the story was very distant from the original source material and had so many aspects of other stories that it kinda dilutes the use of Octopussy.
Another example I can think of is Oberhauser, but again that stemmed from quite a small part of Bond's backstory, and became something else entirely. I personally think the use of Oberhauser was kind of wasted. I've always thought it'd be more interesting if the Bond girl (Madeleine Swann) was the daughter of Oberhauser rather than White.
With Shatterhand, it could work but it'll be very distracting for us as fans. I think we'd constantly be thinking... this characters is meant to be Blofeld, are they going to go there? And also you'll just be thinking about how they chose not to try and bring back Waltz because his performance in Spectre wasn't picked up by audiences as a highlight of the film.
It brings up a lot of problems, so I'd rather Malek played an original villain like Silva, or even one adapted from unused Fleming material like Oberhauser, but done a bit better. They got that balance of traditional and modern Bond villain just right with Silva so stick to that route me thinks.
That's fine, will do :D
Yes, he does frequently.
How this works with a female villain I'm not sure but I would assume they would use their sexuality to project power/threat?
PS anyone seen the recent shots of Jamie Lee Curtis (with new grey hair) underrated actress IMHO, more scary than Malek in her own way !

Shooting for Season 3 started March 7 and ended August 25. Season 4 will have two more episodes.
I was just commenting on Lotte Lenya in another thread. It comes down to the writing, direction and acting. She was quite terrifying despite being a small, slight and almost frail woman.
She's inspired by her most famous film! She'd be great as a villain, but perhaps in a Kingsman film rather than Bond.
I'm not a fan of Boyle and don't see him fitting Bond, but yes, that's the one thing I wish they had kept from him.
He looks too youthful and too much like a nice guy.
I think this guy has definitely added himself, but it's plausible that he's an extra whose just been hired and excitedly listed himself in the film. I wonder if that'll stick around.
Casting well underway then.
If scheduling were an issue, it would be an outright "No." So apparently, scheduling is NOT an issue.
I think so, too. Based on these interviews, it's highly likely he will be in Bond 25.
To be honest I would be shocked if Malek is not in the film however I do hope Waltz is back as well
I remain skeptical, but casting (and listings) have to happen sooner or later so, yeah, maybe.
What stuck out was that this actor is from the Dominican Republic and recently Craig was on 'holiday' in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, which are of course both located in the Caribbean. It's possible EON want to shoot a section of the film there. Interestingly, that pilot who shared the photo of himself and Craig has since deleted it. Now why do that? ;)
That said, who knows what'll happen. I would be fine with him as the villain.
I don't see that at all. I see creepy as f*ck.
Again: if it won't work, then it's a "no" and there's no need to be nervous.
