Crickets it is... ;)
Seriously, Swann dies in Matera and then Bond is lured back to save her clone, as he promised her father he'd protect his daughter, and...to all effects, she is.
Crickets...loads of crickets.
That would be a bit Diamonds Are Forever.
I agree @talos7, whilst cloning may seem a little too far fetched. The reality is that it's not. DNA replacement therapy in DAD was far fetched. But cloning is something well within the realms of plausibility. Should a shadowy, villainous organisation get there hands on the ability to clone for whatever reason, it would be a scary thought.
The possible inclusion of Porton Down to the story, also gives it a potential dark and mysterious edge. I wouldn't be against a cloning plot.
Good points...
Way too far into scifi.
I agree. I think, if Malek's character is experimenting with human cloning, it will be handled in a smart and realistic way. We won't be back in MR or DAD territory; they will make it fit with Craig's Bond. I love The Boys from Brazil, both the film and the Ira Levin novel, and, even though that was way back in the '70's, the filmmakers approached the cloning premise in a very sure footed, scary and (within context) plausible way.
Or is it science fact that just doesn’t fit Bond?
Bond has dealt with science fact/fiction from the beginning, in both the novels and the films, like DN (novel and film), YOLT (film only), DAF (film only), TMWTGG (film only), TSWLM (film only, creating an underwater civilisation !!!), MR (novel, plausible, and film, less plausible), GE, DAD. Genetic engineering is very real and very now.
Very good points.
I’m no scientist, but it doesn’t immediately lead me to ‘cloning’. I always thought it was a more theoretical science, whereby (for example) DNA is engineered for resistance, or vice-versa, certain genetic makeups can be targeted by engineered viruses (again, for example). There were some wacky ideas back in the day about targeting specific races and groups using these techniques.
Colour me sceptical on the clone front, for now.
That is basically the villains plan in 'Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare'.
Knowing that Cary likes video games... :)
He could have been playing it for research purposes. Though that particular campaign wouldn't have taken three hours, not that I played it on expert mode.
Cary's choice definitely. It is huge step forward for Dan as he has never worked on such projects before.
Utterly adored his score for Beasts. Which even got singled out by Mark Kermode in his review of that film.
The score for Beasts was so unexpected and defied expectations. It was haunting and atmospheric. I have no doubt that Romer an do scale and bombast. He's also a songwriter and worked with numerous artists in the charts.
He's in LA at the moment y the looks of things:
So, SPECTRE gets its hands on cloning technology and they decide to use it to clone...Madeleine Swann?
Was hoping for a classic Bondian score, and Arnold back, but I guess I'll have to settle with Eric Serra II and his experiments.
This was a plot point in the latest series of Designated Survivor, too. It wasn't developed all too well but the idea of a variation on something like Smallpox being created to target a specific ethnicity is quite terrifying and would be a great villain plan.
If Romer's the man, then I really look forward to hearing what he comes up with. Nothing of his that I have heard so far screams Bond, so this will be a very interesting score.
