It says her early days, so presumably. Unless she went by other code names during her career. Whatever path it took.
Would be nice to see more Silva... always felt a bit short changed.
Probably would have to be recast and not a cinematic production. I like the 90s nice flashback.
Poor idea.
It would cease to be a Bond film and be an M and Silva film. And the film we got was almost that as it was.
The Bond universe isn't X Men or The Avengers. Who wants to see an origin story of a middle aged woman who sits behind a desk? The excitement as she studies law at Oxford, the suspense as she negotiates the office politics at MI6 to become boss.
Or we could have a Q origin story. Studies physics and applied computing at Cambridge, takes a job at MI6, acquires two cats and a mortgage.
And then the multi billion dollar box office leviathan that smashes global box office records - Bill Begins.
Yawn at how Bill Tanner went through university and no one noticed him, snooze at how he worked his way up in MI6 to become chief of staff and no one noticed him, snore at how every time he's in a scene he sucks any atmosphere away like an open hatch on a space capsule.
Post of the month, @TheWizardOfIce, maybe the year. Good heavens, I'm crying over here! :))
Fiennes's M is the only that would possibly work... but no reference to Bond or Skyfall etc ...just military conflict. That's the M I meant.
Any other M would be boring as hell.
Tanner is boring now.
...it's not an idea I'm really advocating however.
I wonder what Fiennes thought when he was presented with the idea. He was probably furious, chewed them up and spat them out.
According to the Sony hacks, Fiennes said he wouldn't do the movie if M was the traitor.
Come on, now. In comparison to the character assassinations in early SP drafts, the final film, with characters acting as they should, was brilliant. Acting like SP would've been better if M and Tanner were random sleeper agents for an opposing cause is a bit ridiculous, and I can see why it was altered.
Actually, my problem is with the "Bond and Blofeld knew each other as children" and the rushed ending.
