That would be awful.
Exactly.
What I've been saying for a while now.
This is going to be the most ambitious film in the franchise, whether it turns out right or not - and could also very well be the longest film too. There's just so threads;
1. Bond and Madeline life status post SPECTRE
2. New potential female 00 subplot, almost like a new main lead character.
3. Satisfactory conclusion to Craig's five film arc, perhaps drawing from remnants of the past (Vesper).
4. Set up for new techno-villain in Rami Malek's character. Includes the plot to capture scientist.
5. M, Q Moneypenny AND Felix all given meaningful supportive parts, and allowed their own moments to shine.
6. At least 3 major action set pieces and half a dozen changes of location each in involving proper establishment.
7. And now Waltz's involvement
Nothing on this list can be rushed through or breezed over. It's an absolutely crazy script, I'm sure and more than a little intrigued by how it will turn out. Cary Fukunaga will need to be a filmmaking wizard to conduct everything appropriately. Good luck, is all I can say.
It seems Babs enjoyed SP quite a bit more than a lot of us.
SPECTRE RISES
Imagine Malek in the end having an Extended henchman role, but Waltz having even more screentime.

You mean like the previous Bond.
Anyway as someone who loved what SP attempted to do I absolutely adore all of these new developments. They're doubling down, and trying to make it even bigger than that last film (and hopefully better too). Bring it on, I'd say. And for those not fans of the direction, Craig's gone after this and the reboot is almost definitely coming...best to fully commit to and follow through properly with the serialisation.
Why?
Absolutely.
Since SP established the Craig era as a kind of self-contained story arc, this idea of 25 being a proper conclusion to a 5 movies narrative - reprising characters and events from SP and coming full circle with CR - to me makes perfect sense.
Plus, regarding Blofeld, it's nice to have him back in some form because his demise in SP after being revealed as the shadowy puppet master behind a lot of previous events felt too much rushed, given what his character meant for Bond. Perhaps there's a chance to see a bald Blofeld in prison. Would be nice if you ask me.
Dude, I remember you being not like this.
The Playlist's article elaborates on exactly that point
One thing I'll say for the return of Waltz: Without Mendes we'll hopefully be getting a more rounded Blofeld. I'm sure CJF is going to utilise him much better than previously seen by the exalted-one. At least we won't have to go through Eon pulling a J.J. Abrams trick by pretending that Waltz wasn't Blofeld the same way that Benedict Cumberbatch wasn't Khan again.
You might be on to something here, even though I don't really want Blofeld to return. :-?
Interesting,
