Given Harbour's stunning turn on Stranger Things, I'd be all for this. Bring back Wright, Forster, Arnold, Kurylenko, and a badly disfigured, roided-out Elvis covered in burn scars ("Long live the king?"; "Hair today, gone tomorrow?"; "I think I get the pelvic thrust of it...") and you've got yourself a proper reunion.
I think she's working on that historical war movie or whatever it is. Could be totally wrong though...
I haven't watched Stranger Things but wow he looks completely different normal than as Beam.
Yes, and his performance is completely different as well. He's humorous in a deadpan sort of way, sympathetic, and even a bit heroic in the Indiana Jones mold. He's definitely the surprise highlight of the cast. You should check it out. (Off-topic disclaimer, but what the hell in this thread isn't?)
I'd be all for his return, along with Wright.
What's the verdict? So, so sick of the suspense.
In the big picture serious Bond fans are a small group. these movies are made for a mass audience and the truth is that audience, in large part does not give the status of Bond 25 a thought .
We, the hardcore fans are impatient, and that does not matter a bit to Craig, Babs or anyone else involved.
Again. they know what's going on.
I love your ideas about Beam coming back and pulling strings in the background for SPECTRE! It could be really cool. And Bond and Leiter teaming up like in Thunderball for example ... why not?! A plot playing in Miami, Jamaica and Aspen ? Why not!
Put Blofeld back in the shadows and just have him appear in TB-like meetings and pull strings. I like these ideas very much - could become a great espionage thriller plus the kind of sendoff for Craig working better than what we got with SP. Add Goodnight as a local contact on Jamaica for example and inject plot parts from the LALD novel ... Sounds all exciting to me.
I love all of this, but do you think Waltz would come back, just to sit around and be a sideploy to the plot?
Yes, I suspect this is the right interpretation. But it's a sad indication of where things stand at the moment that Wright's old photo is about all that Bond fans have to grasp at.
C'mon, EON. Get on it.
Waltz's talking after SPECTRE, it was clear he has unfinished business in the role. He did he say he would consider another but only if Dan was returning. But there is a problem, if you do the whole jail break thing you replicate something already done with Silva in Skyfall. And I agree you can't have Waltz play a bit part sat in a cell. So what do you do if you do bring him back.
The prison he was held in was privatised by the UK Government, and the private Company who own it links straight back to quantum. And he walked straight out?
Guy Haines uses his political influence to have him pardoned?
The officers on the bridge who arrest him on the Bridge were actually Spectre decoys.
Or scrap Act 3 as a dream sequence and PTS Bond 25, Bond wakes up still on the chair with the drill still his neck, he has no knowledge of who he is and he sent to kill M stealing the start of TMWTGG novel? - I would be totally opposed to this FYI.
Or what about this one, the American's do a deal to take custody of Blofeld and you stage an elaborate mid air rescue. Completely stealing from the Dark Night Rises.
That's the best way to do it. Otherwise we all know what will happen at the start of B25, but it will take up screen time to get through it - as long as Tanner doesn't do the exposition, which may take even longer.
Tanner: "So then all these-ah-men, with guns, came in and...and-uhhh-then there was--uh..."
Bond: "An escape?"
Tanner: "An escape, right. Yes. Thank you, 007."
Now what is the motivation behind this? I haven't thought that out. But the grin on Bloefeld's face tells us that he has masterminded this and has for some reason manipulated Bond into being the device to gaining his freedom.
24 Season 7, been there done that.
I've thought over a similar scenario where Bond-unmanipulated-frees Blofeld from capture in a stealthy PTS. SPECTRE had possibly been taken over by a massive battle for power between its top members and there is a sense of chaos, leading the organization to act out. Bond then needs Blofeld's help to track the main players and get rid of them.
Not a great idea, but it's not something you'd see anywhere else.
