It would mean Skyfall was only time we've not had a mole or a double agent, and even then, Raoul Silva was a former Mi6 agent. The only way I could forgive the use of this trope once again would be for it drive the plot forward, maybe even occur early on in the film so it's not done in "Oh look he was a villain the whole time!" way. Overall, it just makes MI6 and the CIA look so bloody crap at their job it's ridiculous.
Even if they couldn't get him in the story, a cameo would be nice.
Good question. It doesn‘t CONFIRM Magnussen is in either (though I think he is).
First thing I thought.
This: Assuming B25 is a lite-continuation of SP, Felix as Wright is canon. Impossible to replace.
Dude spoiler warning much I am half way through the book and we’ll now I know reads is one of the bad guys jeez
Bruce Willis is dead in the sixth sense
Rosebud is a sled
Kevin spacey is Keyzer Soze
I shall go on but I am sure I ruined the surprise for someone here
Me, all of them except the Rosebud one. But I really don't care about Sixth Sense or Keyzer Soze, so it didn't hurt ;)
And yet, the entire film, I thought Mallory was one. They did a good job of "leading" me in that direction, at least. (And, no, I didn't read anything about SF's during production while filming. I wish I'd done the same for SP.)
It was done for International Women's Day in, I think, 2011. Barbara Broccoli was the producer of the spot.
@AlexanderWaverly was it too bash men and make them feel bad because seemed like it
And don’t worry. I’ve seen all three of those a decade ago.
well remember - it was rumored that Mallory was originally intended to be revealed as a traitor in SP (in early versions of the treatment/script), until Fiennes complained about constantly being casted as a villain - that they ended up creating a brand new character (C) and made him the turncoat..

JAMES BOND SUPPORTS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!
The two-minute short, specially commissioned for International Women’s Day, sees 007 star Daniel Craig undergo a dramatic makeover as he puts himself, quite literally, in a woman’s shoes.
Directed by acclaimed ‘Nowhere Boy’ director/conceptual artist Sam Taylor-Wood, scripted by Jane Goldman (‘Kick Ass’) and featuring the voice of Dame Judi Dench reprising her role as ‘M’, the film will be screened in cinemas and streamed online in a bid to highlight the levels of inequality that persist between men and women in the UK and worldwide. It is the first film featuring Bond to be directed by a woman.
In the film ‘M’ interrogates Bond with a series of searching questions on gender issues, from pay inequality to domestic violence. ‘M’ asks: “For someone with such a fondness for women, I wonder if you’ve ever considered what it means to be one?” Bond then appears in a blonde wig, a dress and women’s shoes, in a sequence that is both highly emotional and deeply disturbing. As he/she stands silent, Dench continues to read a list of brutal statistics relating to the role of women and their treatment in our society.
Sam Taylor-Wood said: “Bond is challenged by ‘M’ to think about gender inequality, and I hope that the film encourages viewers to do the same. Despite great advances in women’s rights, statistics show that when it comes to the balance of power between the sexes, equality is far from being a global reality. As ‘M’ reminds Bond, facing up to gender issues and the sometimes covert nature of sexism in the 21st century is something that we all have to recognise, confront and challenge.”
The film was commissioned by EQUALS, a coalition of charities and organisations brought together by Annie Lennox to step up the call for equality between men and women. Produced by Barbara Broccoli, the woman behind box-office hits ‘Casino Royale’, ‘Quantum of Solace’ and the forthcoming ‘Bond 23’, and shot by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, the film will be released at midday on Monday 7 March to mark the centenary of International Women’s Day the following day.
EQUALS spokeswoman Esme Peach said: “We are thrilled that Sam Taylor-Wood, Daniel Craig, Dame Judi Dench and such a prestigious production team agreed to create this powerful short film for EQUALS. We feel it is crucial to involve men in the movement for women’s rights and EQUALS is about men and women working together for positive change. So who better to convey that message than the partnership of Bond and ‘M’, two iconic British characters with global appeal and influence – and who better to conceive and direct the film than Sam Taylor-Wood, an artist and film-maker whose work is questioning, often provocative and deeply moving?”
I dunno, perhaps it's well intentioned but it comes over as daft. Using the current Bond actor to promote womens rights - just as daft. Bond (for better or worse) has an unhealthy opinion of women. That's just the type of man he is. Bond- as represented by Craig in this video (hence the M type narration) - is the last person you want promoting womankind! Political correctness at its worst. James Bond - the posterboy for 21st century feminism? Gimme a break.
Bond: You're protecting someone. Your wife?
White: *laughs* She left long ago.
Bond: Your son?
White: *stares and swallows*
Bond: You're daughter?
White: You wont find her. She is clever, she is smarter than me. She knows how to hide.
I would not have thought so but never say never? I always felt robbed that Mr White was not utilised more to be honest.
One could also analyze the "she's clever" line. Perhaps she's clever in that she really is a major player of SPECTRE and she's been playing Bond this whole time. I know it seems done to death, but you never know.
@Resurrection What other threads are there for it?
@007Blofeld We should ask moderators..but it all started with who should be bond actor or female bond or about PC and I suppose we have those threads.
