Main villain? Geez, I hope not. But as always, it depends heavily on the script. Get us a good script - we have a good director for sure.
Dubbing is not given to everyone and a good, even a great actress may not be a good voice actress. Bellucci may not be the greatest actress, but she is capable and what she lacks in acting skills she has in charisma.
Is it Mendes? The same problem doesn't afflict Skyfall.
I kind of hope not. I just don't see him as a villain.
Paul Haggis did suggest something similar for QoS (Vesper having a child) and Broccoli and Wilson rejected the idea,
Really? The two fight sequences were a strength in the film, imho. Not very often do you hear James Bond in distress as his opponent is trying to gouge his eyes out with stainless steel fingernails.
I remember fans going ballistic over the idea, that's why I mentioned that one in particular. Personally, I'd hate that to happen in a Bond film.
As for Malek, odds are he is in. I still think he could perhaps do a great turn as a psycho side henchman; I do prefer for him not to be the main villain. Just my instincts. With a great script and his current confidence (surely he has confidence right now) he could surprise me. Not excited, but that's okay. Most important to me is Cary and we also have a great cinematographer on hand.
I think the song will be done by somebody currently popular. Do people really think it will be Gaga?
Also I think other Bond girl roles are up for grabs; nobody I've seen really making me think 'Oh that would be a great choice.' I'm fine with hiring lesser known actresses, I just want somebody who can act well enough, with a real screen presence. And yes, I loved Monica Bellucci and would have loved for her to be in Spectre a lot more than she was used.
The thing is I'm generally rather positive about villain castings. Last time I had that kind of unease is when Toby Stephens was cast.
Great news. Let's see how long it takes till Eon ask him to remove this.
Though it looks as though someone will get thrown off a building.
@ggl007 As far as I understand, Craig was not in attendance.
The opening of SF is a standard PTS. The opening of SP is just memorable. The richness of the environment, Bond dressed like an angel of death, an opening tracking shot that’s not about planes, trains and automobiles, but first-person action in a very rich, fantastic atmosphere melted by hot and dust. There’s an hitchcockian flavour in it. A more confident and unpredictable rhythm that gives real life to the sequence. Just my opinion.
Starts at 1:30

Could be, yes.
Agreed. Malek is on a Halle Berry trajectory.
A bunny rabbit cameo in bond 25?
@Tuulia the quote above, I mention I dont think Bryan Singer will keep the Red Sonya job with new allegations in the pipe line.
Today, you’ll be happy to hear, the project has been “shelved”.
Sadly, money talks, and Singer has made the studios a lot of money.
Look at John Lassiter. He just got a second chance because he was so successful at Pixar.
But friends of mine in LA were calling for Bryan Singer to get the axe weeks and weeks ago (when I told @Tuulia I don't think he was going to keep this job much longer).
Re: B25 I also heard everything was on schedule. Again.
And then I come back here today and I see a stunt coordinator released a shot of rehearsals (what I heard specifically, which would back what @ggl007 has been saying: there was a lot of activity at Pinewood all last week, and I heard it was specific to second unit. Believe it or not, I don't care. I will give only what I'm told (and I've seen my friend's pics on the SP set, and his pics with the Wilson family, and his reputation in the finance world is unmatched; so I could care less if no one believes anything I report back (something I should stop doing, lol-- but I have been consistent in everything I have said since Boyle was fired. I know jamaica and Cadiz were scouted-- will they be used? we will see. Maybe not now that Italy and Greece (and Norway), have also been scouted-- and something I admit I didn't hear of until reading it on Mi6).
Good to have you back @peter for your information.
Thank you, @MaxCasino !! Film productions-- pre, during, and post production-- are constantly growing and changing and are organic...
There will be location scouting, as @ColonelSun has said previously, that will go on, even during filming. It's the nature of the business.
There will be casting that goes on, long after shooting has begun. Nature of the biz.
There will be changes to the script, right into the editing process. Nature of the...
But those that have reported what they know so far have all been pretty consistent from the moment Boyle was dismissed (and this was before the mainstream media put some facts (from the on set issues), together).
From what i know of @ColonelSun (having read at least three projects he has in pre-production (TWO of them being with a producer on a recent Boyle production (and a producer that CS introduced me to)), I know this guy is a solid contributor as a tv/screenwriter/director.
@ggl007 is a new relationship, but everything he has reported is honest and, it seems, he works tirelessly handling and managing, MANY contacts (some may be bang on, others may think they're right, but were led astray, as will happen; but nothing he says is bullshit for clickbait on this site. He doesn't need to tell us anything. Seriously. He doesn't need to tell us a thing. He's a genuine and gracious guy).
Yes, I'm also always happy to hear your insider perspective, @peter.
No problem, but what I think that should be clarified and hasn't yet, only because when anyone gets news, we spew it all, not out of neglect, but excitement.
No matter what morsel i bring in, or Colonel, or ggl007, is just that. A morsel. I am confused and in the dark about the meat of this production-- and kudos to the gatekeepers at EoN (I don't want another Spectre fiasco).
I have no idea what this story will be about. I can only guess. And, right now, my guess is as good as anyone.
I can guess that if Waltz is in this film, it will be a cameo. But, my gut tells me (thankfully), he won't be in this one.
I think and I guess that Maddy being involved has something to do with the plot (obviously), but doesn't have to do with the plot of SPECTRE (SPECTRE, as in the film).
And then I have my own personal feeling about CF being a far better director to take this on, than Sam Mendes was to take on his second Bond effort-- but I will leave that to me, and not bore anyone else why I think that this will be quite a significant and very daring James bond film.
Shuddup you drunk. You know something @Risico007 , no one else understood when you kept repeating the line "I got a brudah"...
I love to be surprised by the cast, locations and story. In this info 24/7 age we live in, it makes a refreshing change sometimes to be kept in the dark.
Maybe it’s just me.
