Ahahahahahahahah
This could be a quite good movie title too.
This newspaper is quite respected in Italy

I agree, although next time around he should keep his mouth closed while chewing.
Not quite. Although I think SP is rubbish I want Mendes to have a long, healthy and happy life. I also wouldn't mind if he returned for one more, and would actually prefer it if Craig is back.
I agree.

From @DNEVNIK.hr:
#JamesBond arrives in Croatia - will it be filmed in # Dubrovnik? More in #DnevnikNoveTV at 19:15!

Anyone from Croatia able to watch the report?
In all honesty, I do believe there were legit reports last year about EON scouting Croatia. But that's all there was.
http://collider.com/marc-forster-quantum-of-solace/#poster//
I remember that interview. It reminds me of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."
It overlooks that a writer (Joshua Zetumer) *brought on by Forster when the strike ended* did do rewriting during filming. Apparently the interviewer didn't research deeply enough and Forster declined to volunteer that information.
Again, not saying the strike didn't affect the movie. But it was more complicated than that, especially the emphasis on wind-earth-fire-water.
Yes, didn't some official representative of Croatia say EON had been scouting there? Really isn't farfetched, even without a director, an actor, a script, or anything, to be location-scouting that early on, just to get an idea of where you might set the next Bond film and what would be feasible shooting-wise.
Forster had much to offer. Some fans didn't like the way he edited his action sequences, with so many jump cuts. It's all a matter of taste, but I liked it -- I would NOT like it if every Bond film were like that. But QoS had a different pace and flavor to it, and it fits well in between CR and SF. I thought the Bond/Mitchell chase and the Opera house shootout were excellent. And the Bond-Slate fight is one of the best ever, because of its brutality and brevity. It's Bond's greatest badass moment.
The water motif was especially effective.
Yeah but there's still...Vesper. and of course Judi's M. Both of whom Blofeld so proudly took credit for killing off in SP.
The beauty of the Craig era is the audience will have these things in mind. Truth is, I don't think they even need to kill Madeleine, it'd feel repetitive after Vesper and would just look bad to today's audiences who aren't well versed in the Bond past.
Thats FAKE NEWS
Wouldn't be surprised if Neal Purvis and Robert Wade were already working on B25 then, and that they were throwing ideas around at the time of the Croatia-scouting.
In case anyone is interested here is the article in question from my blog. Feel free to leave a comment here or there:

I can confirm that "Il messaggero" is a reliable source, but I'm afraid jborbisnonsufficit is somewhat wrong. "Il messaggero" only reported that Sorrentino claimed he would like to direct a Bond film, not that he's in talks with EON.
That's exactly what I think about QoS! It's his own beast, and to be honest one of my favourite entries. I love how brutal it is and that's part of its charm. Now that I think about it, I think I first signed up for this forum (or its previous incarnation maybe) with the sole purpose of defending QoS, those were crazy days.
Wonderful to see all of this QoS love. It trades places for me with CR as my favorite of Craig's, but has been winning for some time and is currently my series #4. There is so much right about QoS, I'm easily able to overlook the hyper-editing (which honestly only becomes problematic for me during the Palio chase—apart from that, I love it).
Yeah unlike the unoriginal boring simple plot of spectre which is just- Muh surveillance

July 2017
->While talking to Playboy, Christopher Nolan reaffirms his desire to helm a Bond film, but stresses that "it has to need reinvention, it has to need you."
->Eon Productions announce that they will soon begin work on The Rhythm Section, a non-007 spy thriller based on the four novel series by Mark Burnell. American actress Blake Lively is set to star as the film's protagonist
->The 25th James Bond film is officially confirmed for a US release on November 8th, 2019, with international dates as well as the cast & director to be announced at a later date
->This leaves only an untiled Disney live-action film as direct box office competition, although sequels to both Frozen and Wonder Woman are expected to provide B25 with stiff competition during the latter two months of '19
->Logan Lucky earns praise from critics and will soon begin its theatrical run.
->With Craig about to embark on his press tour, he will undoubtedly be faced with lingering questions regarding his future (or lack thereof) with the 007 franchise
->The New York Times reports that Craig's return is a done deal based on sources close to production
->Both BirthMoviesDeath and MI6-HQ stress the possibility of Broccoli and Wilson selling the franchise off post-B25, based on an unknown source close to production
->Deadline reports that Yann Demange (71), Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049), and David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water) are on the shortlist to helm the next film in the series, and have all allegedly had meetings with Broccoli and Wilson. Villeneuve may be out of the race due to scheduling conflicts having recently signed onto Dune
->According to Variety, Demange is the frontrunner and claims Warner Bros. is the closest to landing a distribution deal with MGM for B25
->Surprisingly, Logan Lucky will not have a press junket (despite numerous high profile actors appearing in the film) meaning that Craig will likely stay silent on the matter until his next film, Kings, premiers at the Toronto International Film Festival in September
->Craig will star in two episodes of a new Amazon Prime series, Comrade Detective, to air later this year. Interestingly, no developments have been made on Craig's other TV series, Purity, since the show was greenlit by Showtime last year
->James Bond Downunder reports that Yann Demange was spotted at EON House in London; comments from fans asking about Bond on Demange's Instagram are promptly deleted
->Mirror claims the next Bond film will be titled "Shatterhand" and will be an adaptation of Raymond Benson's continuation novel, Never Dream of Dying
->Benson denies ever speaking to journalists at Mirror; says the article is nothing more than a fabrication
Yes Fleming's treatment of YOLT does rely on the death of Tracy.
So I'm guessing a whole new story that borrows elements from the Fleming stories.
The new story of course exists in the re-boot timeline.
As Madeleine is not Tracy, killing her off at Blofeld's hand would be superfluous.
I think this is why, the " we have all the time in the world" line was dropped, as it would invite Madeleine comparisons with Tracy.
And as there is no comparison, it's probably a good thing it was dropped, which makes Swann, just another Bond girl that can be written out like so many others, so that we might get another fresh girl.
I'm guessing the intent is to work with Fleming elements but within this new reboot context.
I'm guessing, Blofeld as Shatterhand, Garden of Death, a reimagined Bunt ie in the leaked scripts, she wasn't ugly.
As for what the actual broader story might be, who knows.
But we've seen Fleming bits dropped into new film stories, out of original book context, before.
When we might get an actual telling of Fleming's Blofeld trilogy, either as a period piece, or in a modern context, a la CR 06, who knows?
I would love to see it done in a modern setting.
Actually one could skip TB, just reference it as backstory, and then go full out on OHMSS, YOLT and TMWTGG bringing Bond full circle to where we find him at the end of Fleming's TMWTGG.
This might be a neat way to launch another cinema re-boot, down the line, but if we get Shatterhand and Garden of Death in B25, which I think that we will, then that shelves a modern telling of the trilogy for the near future, as the core Fleming elements would be repetitive.

Yes and no. SF had some interesting points to make about aging, but it was text, not subtext. In contrast, SP had the thuddingly obvious "The dead are alive."
Get off my gunbarrel, Jack Handey!
Now, that would be a twist.
