Thanks for that, on some of my other videos people say I'm enthusiastic I don't know why it always takes me by surprise. thanks for the comment and it could be fun to do that idea you said too.
Cheers.
He is Danish. Maybe the only booze he could get hold of in that place was metanol.

Perhaps SPECTRE is the bond riff on cinematic universes. I don't mean we'll see stand-alone film's without Bond in them ( e.g. Moneypenny: the movie), but it does seem like they are trying to pull the most iconic elements of the bond franchise into one film. MI:6 VS SPECTRE, FIGHT! :P
I have heard/read it before, but I don't know if it has been confirmed in any way.
I saw a picture of him on set somewhere yonks ago if that helps?
It sure does look like his figure at :46 standing in front of Bond.
I have people everywhere :P
But really, it came from a Sony press announcement.
On set and on film are two different things. I did see pics of him in Rome (I think so anyway), but does that mean he is at the funeral? He seems to make his acquaintance with Bond in the meeting, in any case.
Oh, and glad I am not the only one thinking said meeting looks and feels like Eyes Wide Shut.
Because so many of the Bond films up to this point were faithful to Fleming's vision? Even the ones that were supposedly based on his novels?
I'll have you know that Fleming left a detailed outline of the Moonraker script in one of his journals. Right down to the double-take pigeon. :P
That must have been the syphilis speaking.
I think the people who are disappointed are equally assuming too much, thus enlarging their disappointment.
Yes, there's a connection between the Bond-family and the Oberhauser-family. But saying that Franz Oberhauser and James Bond are now immediately "foster brothers" goes a bit too far for me. I like to believe that their connection goes entirely via their dads: Andrew Bond and Hannes Oberhauser. And that Bond actually uses or fully exploit that connection for the sake of the mission. Not for the sake of personal revenge.
One other thing. To say that this is completely non-Fleming goes too far for me. I kindly advise you to read Fleming's novels in this chronological order:
--> "Thunderball" (set around 1959, 1st entry in the SPECTRE-trilogy)
--> "Octopussy" (set around 1960, background history on the Oberhauser-family)
--> "The Spy Who Loved Me" (set around 1960, SPECTRE-side story, henchman "Horror"? Hinx?)
--> "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (set around 1961, 2nd entry in the SPECTRE-trilogy)
--> "You Only Live Twice" (set around 1962, 3rd entry in the SPECTRE-trilogy, background history on Bond's family)
And it's thát sense of continuity and chronological order that's actually very Fleming-esque. Don't forget that in the 1960's there was no real luxury for EON Productions to focus on continuity, as there were a lot of financial risks involved in producing the 1st Bond film. One hád to adapt the easiest Bond novel first.
With the initiation of the new Bond timeline (2006, "Casino Royale"), the Bond producers finally go full-circle with this. They can finally focus on continuity, the way Ian Fleming actually did.
I firmly believe that in "SPECTRE", Bond is indeed going on a mission, and doesn't get that emotionally involved anymore with this background history. At least not in the way that was done in "Quantum Of Solace", because in that film Bond completely lost sight of his mission, and was using revenge as a means of justifying his mission. Not very well-thought of agent 007.
I also think you expected too much after seeing the "Mission Impossible" trailer. Don't forget that that film has a rather bumpy publicity road. Paramount/Skydance hád to go full-throttle with their trailer, by adding lots of action in it. But sjee, we never had a trailer for a Bond film at such an early stage. THIS is what I call teasing, and therefore I expect a more action-rich trailer around May or June.
It's not entirely right to assume so much about the film if you only have 1min37sec of movie material. And off course we're comparing a lot with previous Bond films. But isn't part of the franchise success that they keep re-inventing it? That they are using familiar material in a different way? You can go the easy-way and make a Bond film by all of your wishlist numbers, but I find that from a creative perspective rather boring really.
Looking at this trailer makes me also think that EON Productions is craving to compete with "Avengers 2" and "Furious 7". Two movies I find the biggest competitors of "SPECTRE" this year.
The trailer reminds me of the early part of the SF teaser, prior to the thumping music bit (which I loved). In that early part there was dialogue and similar music (including the conversation during the psyche eval) - then it goes into the techno blast music.
That last bit isn't here but what is here has a more foreboding element and suits the SPECTRE concept better. Can't wait to see some action clips from this. It's going to be great.
Here it is:

There's a 1GB ProRes version on the press kit. IMO just hold out until Apple Trailers posts it and when theatres get it which is when I'll be able to pull the mega high quality footage and 5.1 track off it and make a proper Blu-ray quality version out of it.
If they send it to theatres in 4K I may be able to knock a 4K downloadable version together too.
Aaron, I assume that's from YouTube and for downloading/keeping purposes quality of their HD isn't that great tbh...like I.said above ,wait for Apple iTunes to post or for me or whoever to do a proper download version from the file sent to cinemas.
At least I have Lea & Monica to look forward to - Naomi doesn't quite do it for me - just find her a bit annoying.
Precisely.
I'm so glad I'll watch the movie dubbed in italian so that the actors performances won't be a problem, since italian voice actors are amazing.
Monica is stunning at a distance. Old.
This only further strengthens the red herring\alias angle that many have suggested, and supports the idea that perhaps this will lead into B25, YOLT STYLE CLIMAX!!!
B-)
Btw Kubrick was one or is one of my favorites ..wish he was still here. I remember that as per Sir Ken Adam Kubrick consulted informally on the photography/ lighting on the tanker battle in TSWLM.
