Interesting, but this is not where they’re going.
Thank God for that.
And I can't give this any merit, seeing as this is just because you want Eon to be wrong, and Boyle to be right.
Also I must add my opinion...
We will consider changing the title of the thread to warn people away if they don't want to see spoilers, just so that we don't have to tag every comment we make.
But, despite being 2185 pages into this thread Production still hasn't properly started.

Classic intro, Bond turns and shoots, white dots fades to a cottage in an icy lake at night.
____
The ambience is ominous yet tranquil, a paradox soon expressed by the image of a sleeping child awaken by noise. She descends from her bedroom and alts by the living door frame, where two men have her father (only seen from the back), interrogating him brutally in a chair.
The little girl runs quietly and fetches a gun hidden under a sink. Returns to the doorway and, trembling, skeezes the trigger until the weapon discharges death unto one of the men. The other seeks instant cover, and then runs for the girl.
She exits the house through the front door and makes a run for the frozen lake. The man follows.
The lake supports the child weight, but not the man. He plunges into icy waters with crackling and thunderous sound.

Madelein Swann awakens (not unlike her first awakening depicted in the beginning).
James Bond has a hand over her mouth. There are intruders in the house. A 38 with no hammer is on his right hand. He arises from their bed and proceeds to exit the room. A fight ensues in the other room. From Madeleine's point of view, we see Bond struggling with two men. A brutal fight (horns and a lot of brass is heard on a distinctive Bond fashion). Bond subdues one of the attackers. Madeleine grabs the gun that eventually had fallen from Bond's grasp, and shoots the other attacker, much like she did as a child, trembling in panic.
They both fall to the ground, opposite each other. The look on their faces is clear. Living like this isn't a possibility. They just keep coming back. She has had enough. As a train psychologist, she's aware that a constant revival of traumatic events is slowly killing her, breaking her spirit. Bond is also aware of this.
A third men bangs a door open and enters the room. Madeleine trows the 38 to Bond and he catches the gun mid air and shoots as the music starts, not unlike the CR opening. Making it a full circle.

After the opening credits:
Same house, all torn apart by the struggle, three dead bodies. Morning. A beautiful contrasting morning (a clear contrast to the icy landscape). We're in Jamaica, in a beautiful and far away house overlooking a gorgeous bay with clear blue waters. James Bond sits on the porch, the 38 still on his hand. His eyes sitting on the horizon.
...
BTW, sorry for the organics. I write novels, not scripts.
Waltz can easily be menacing, and to his advantage he has a history of playing menacing characters. I think he was a menacing Blofeld, but not always as much as he could have been. Malik I don't see it so far.

Cba to use spoiler tags all the time.
Here’s the deal, reading that article it seems that this is for Bond 25 as paperwork for the production is allegedly using the 007 logo.
Bond doesn’t do flashbacks and if they did, I doubt they’d get filming permits and build a house in Norway just for a flashback that doesn’t feature Bond. This is clearly a set-piece and it involves Bond and a child…..
The article says this is a female child. So is this Bond’s daughter? Or perhaps they are resurrecting the idea of Vesper having a child? That kid would be about 12 or 13 now. Maybe this would mean that Eva Green could appear in dream sequences or that scrapped videotape idea from QOS returns. It would fit with Cary Fukunaga’s comments that Bond 25 continues the story from CR…..
Plus Eva has only gotten better with age.
Loved it.
I hope to God this doesn't happen,but good effort there.
Can’t say I’m a fan of flashbacks but if it’s minimal... I like @Univex intro a lot. Still, if there was any flashback that involved Eva Green I could never complain...
I like it. Exciting, completing a circle, foreboding and moody (the possible/likely ending of a relationship), sending Bond on his way...
Nice @Univex !
Agreed. I was nervous to hear of this spoilerly news at first, but this settles my doubts. Best way to go about it really. Well done!
I might be in the minority but James Bond is an interesting character.
Totally agree,but its looking more and more unlikely unfortunately.
I dont think you are in the minority at all. I just think it may be setting yourself up to be disappointed. They have made it clear that Craig's films are one narrative and so this will likely have elements of the previous four films.
I know, but in my opinion it'd be an interesting take on the character and it would move the story somewhere, while the brother angle didn't.
Still, I'm afraid you entirely missed my point. I said SPECTRE didn't work because good ideas were cut out from the script, I didn't say that everything that had been cut out was good.
That was not really a flashback, it's just that the movie happened to have a 9 year time jump after the PTS. Granted, you may say it's a flashback because it's set before Dalton's movies, but then again I could argue that GE was a soft-reboot and actually ignored the events of earlier movies.
A flashback is an interjected scene that takes the narrative back in time from the current point in the story.
Exactly, thank you!
In my opinion it's sending the character of Blofeld where he didn't need to be in the first place.
I understand not all cut ideas were good ones. But there were lots of ideas taken away which I'm glad they got rid of.
They just weren't replaced by anything better as they were rushing things.
