It would be nice :)
Although unfortunatley they seem to always leave that information until the 007 Twitter does the countdown, so that’ll probably be the case again :(
Yeah I'm sure if they said we can't wait at the end us Bond fans will have a field day saying if you can't wait why the delays lol
+1
I really don't know what (more) people want. I like the fact that EON plays things pretty close to the vest. They are not loose and carefree, but rather calculated. Look at the website itself: 007.com. It's simple, controlled, no frills. This is a carefully manicured franchise, and I don't think we want that to change any time soon.
But it could just be the surname making us think otherwise, and that this is related to Swann (and her past).
I'm just hoping this is just one of maybe two Norwegian locations. Would make no sense to film in Norway if doubling for somewhere else where you'll find similar location (it's expensive to shoot over here).
Very weird indeed. Although maybe it could work? What's interesting is that
This makes no sense. Tom Cruise used a well-known landmark in Norway and still it doubled for somewhere else. If news break out that they plan to shoot on the streets of Oslo or something like that, then yes. But just a random snowy location that could be anywhere? Besides... it's expensive to shoot in other countries, too. Switzerland? Or moving the whole production to Canada?
Well for my part, I've said before that I'm not really clamoring for more 'info', per se. I can understand that they've been burned by the Sony hacks and that there isn't much they want to share at this point.
What I do want, though, is for EON's PR people to communicate a greater sense of urgency, excitement, and even - sadly - professionalism. I've worked on just one 9-figure project in my life (not a film, mind you) and I assure you that we had a comms team that drafted everything that went out for maximum effect. With EON, I still feel like - whether or not it's their intention - they're giving off the impression that making these films is just a tiresome chore for almost everyone involved. The tweet about the delay is a fine example of this: it landed with a dull thud.
I'm saying nothing here about needing insider info, or about the quality of the finished product, or anything else. I suppose what I'm talking about is 'tone.'
Not sure I read it as two separate scenes from the article.
I had quoted it in my comment earlier.
TLD was the last Bond movie with no direct personal element @shamanimal. My bet is that it'll carry on after Craig whoever replaces him.
But I do agree that SP is probably more popular in the general public than here.
This has been my experience, as well. I was truly disappointed with SP when I saw it on opening night. Friends of mine, who were more casual fans, loved it. (I will add for the record: SP has grown on me over the past 3 1/2 years.)
I'm super excited that Bond 25 is starting to get going
Thank you, @Denbigh.
We also know that they are most likely going for a Middle Eastern villain this time (both Said Taghmouhi and Rami Malek have been rumored, and they were apparently scouting Cadiz to double for Tunisia). An alternative scenario would be that this girl has some relation to the main villain. Still, I firmly believe the character will not be the daughter of Bond & Madeleine.
I'm also curious to know if Craig will be on location at Lake Langvann. If so, the plot thickens further.

EDIT: And Collider with their own exclusive reporting that Malek is in final negotiations for villain http://collider.com/rami-malek-bond-25-villain/?utm_campaign=collidersocial&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter
I personally prefer well written spoken backstories instead of actual flashbacks. Take Kincade's story about Bond or Silva when he spoke about his grandmother's island. They were both vivid well told stories that added to the action and didn't detract from it. They give the viewer a glimpse into the unseen and yet leave the it to your imagination. Also I personally think they hold more power and give more weight to the character who tells it.
Who knows it could be a great scene, that we all leave the film talking about.
....
....no Jeffrey Wright ;(
I do hope there's a good reason for not simply bringing back Jeffrey Wright. I missed his Felix dearly in the last two films.
Well, that's a big scoop. Thanks @antovolk !
I wonder why they're not using Leiter. Maybe this CIA character is a bit shady.
Additionally: the article makes it quite clear there are two major female roles in addition to Seydoux. This is shaping up to be quite the epic cast.
I'm particularly curious about the reference to the second female character. I wouldn't exactly describe Camille as an "accomplice" -- if anything, she's closer to being a "new MI6 agent" in that she was Bond's opposite number as a kickass (former) female spy. So that whole mix, as described, is peaking my interest.
EDIT: Noteworthy, Variety somewhat contradicts the Playlist piece about Burns.
"Fukunaga turned in his recent draft at the beginning of the year, and while reports surfaced that major rewrite work was done to the script, sources say no significant changes were made, and the producers and Craig were excited with what Fukunaga had delivered."
Oooh I'm actually not a fan of most of this information. Magnussen is usually cast in comedic or "hateful" roles. For example, he was very funny in Game Night, and played quite the a-hole in Maniac, so I'm finding this hard to imagine, but we'll see.
As for the descriptions of the Bond girls, I'm not quite sure, I'll have to see how they're portrayed as both sound like main Bond girls, so if these descriptions are indeed for two seperate characters, it'll be interesting to see how their roles play out. I'm still holding out for a female henchwoman of some kind. Thanks for the update @antovolk :) And if you're looking for a new female MI6 agent, Fukunaga, get Sonoya Mizuno on board, she did a great job in Maniac.
