Maybe SPECTRE is like Keyser Soze in The Usual Suspects: a myth/urban legend in the spy world, an entity that has been heard about, but may not exist. it seems to have been going on for quite a while. Anyway, I love to see Mendes taking from Kubrick.
Either way, I thought the trailer looked pretty epic but I hate it when the hero's personal life is entangled with whatever he's fighting against. With every movie Bond gets more personally involved. It's fine when we get a glimpse of his emotional side (like they did in Goldeneye, for example) but this is getting messy.
True but I guess they couldn't be too blatant and well, circumstances are shall we say different.
Yes, it looks like it!
Imagine if oberhauser wasn't connected to bond at all, and it was all a ruse to get bond some how.
That would be incredible and could explain why they are pushing the familial connection so strongly. Usually in films the big twist is that two characters are related. After so much hinting, no one would exact the opposite. In this case the twist is that they aren't. Then Blofeld revealed and see you in B25? Just a thought.
That was fun, I like the entusiasm. You should do another in the cinema, come November. Good luck. :)>-

Something like that would be a nice way to link SPECTRE (the film) with the previous Craig Bond films. The idea is Craig era Bond has been fighting SPECTRE all along. He just didn't know that.
That's my theory too.
Definitely!
This is a fantastic idea, and quite a possibility, as Christoph Waltz has continually said that it is much more complicated and creative than him being simply revealed as Blofeld in the end.
Even better. ;)
:)
The Spectre teaser is a large change of pace and the more I see it the more intrigued and excited I am by it. It's a ballsy move to release such a moody and enigmatic trailer; it's a perfect tease. Plus I defy anyone not to get a goosebumps at Waltz's final line.
Some observations to consider:
- Hoyte Van Hotyema's cinematography is beautiful. It's very reminiscent of his work on Tinker Tailor. Complete with very low lit, dusty, smokey and golden interiors. The film looks to be one of the most atmospheric Bond film to date.
- Craig's performance. While SF was slightly more ensemble based, with Dench being given a significant supporting role, SP looks to be Craig's show. I love the shot of him going through the Skyfall file. His eyes look to be on the cusp of tears. This could be a very interesting and internal scene for Bond.
- Mr White is back! I adore that Christensen is back and as soon as I heard his voice I was immediately thrown back to summer 2008 when he narrated the opening of the QOS trailer. I have so many questions over White's return and can't wait to know more. Why is he so dischevelled? What is Quantum's relationship with SPECTRE? Is White blind now?
- Blofeld! There is little doubt in my mind that Waltz is Blofeld. I love how Mendes has been able to incorporate Blofeld's initial mysterious and anonymous appearances in the Connery films in SP. Firstly, his face is (symbolically) burnt off the photo and at the meeting Blofeld looks entirely to be filmed in silhouette. It's a great little nod to the past as well as a surefire way to build suspense and mystery over the leader of the new incarnation of SPECTRE.
- I love the Eyes Wide Shut feel to the meeting. It's one of my favourite films.
- On a downside, the trailers attempt to tie things to SF are a little strained. Plus Moneypenny's dialogue is embarrassing as is Harris's weak delivery.
Any chance of some screencaps anytime soon?
Good points. Maybe SF took place in 2014/15?
SP is clearly set only a short time, perhaps a few months, after the events of SF.
Bond's flat was sold off in SF after his "death" and now he's obviously moved into a new flat but still has yet to fully settle in -- so not much time has passed in terms of the story.
My gut tells me that line will be cut out of the film. It's implied that Bond doesn't trust anyone. It doesn't have to be said explicitly.
I looked closely to the eyes of Mr. White. They seem normal. It's the lightning which suggest on first hand he looks blind.
