Hopefully so but only time will tell?
Care to elaborate on this supposed "set visit", @Pierce2Daniel?
Now, I won't say it's bad they haven't done this. As @Pierce2Daniel wrote, they have plenty of time to push his involvement.
But because of the stories that come out, the ones that get talked about are Craig, Lynch and Waltz. That first one is obvious, and clearly intended by EON, given Craig's presence on behind-the-scenes footage and official photos, and his involvement in publicity things like the British GP thing.
Lynch and Waltz, those are not intended to be talked about, as we officially have no idea who Lynch's character is. Is she even officially acknowledged as an MI6 agent? As for Waltz, I suppose they're quite pissed that that info has gotten out. I'm curious to see if they feel the need to show him or reference him in the teaser or the trailer. Same goes for the 007 development with Lynch. IF true, it was intended to stay a secret.
As for Malek, I very much understand that's supposed to be a secret too, and I'm actually surprised nothing has leaked yet. But if I were EON's marketing team, I'd want the attention away from Lynch and Waltz. Which means you need to do something with the other people involved.
EON's response so far has been: We got Daniel Craig!!!! But why not focus on other actors too? Why not release a black-and-white photo shot by Greg Williams, showing a smiling Malek (out of costume, so no spoilers!) on set? Why not share a still of Q with the cats? What's Moneypenny been up to? These things you can give away, right?
TL;DR: EON should stop just focussing on Craig, Malek is a perfect alternative.
What if Waltz escapes from prison and he is the ultimate villain?
Please, just no... There is a reason that we haven't seen him yet (or under heavy makeup as that guy in Norway), but let it NOT be that.
It's an interesting thought.
Take a look back at my broad explanation, but re: building the house in situ., I suspect CF wanted to be able to follow the girl inside the house and running out onto the ice-lake in a continuous shot (real no post editing tricks to join interior to exterior shots together). There could be other very practical reasons as well
I don't see that happening at all. Malek is a super hot actor and he's not there to play second fiddle. Blofeld is going to be a cameo behind Mi6 cell bars.
I don’t see this happening. They seemed to really want Malek in the role, I’m pretty confident he will be the main villain of the movie. It’s highly likely that he will film tons of scenes at Pinewood after all the Italian shoots.
:-?
For some strange reason I think they are shooting B25 & B26 back to back.
Sorry. :)>-
Can't see that personally.
I know, but... it's just this wicked thought I have.
Skewered.
I doubt so but that would be amazing.
I very much enjoy your daily dose of enlightenment.
What difference does five months make? It's nothing.
They are NOT doing that. U have any idea of the production issues and the extended shooting schedule that would require? Get real, my friend.
That'd be bonkers. We should already have a trailer by now. But then again, EON leave everything last minute these days.
Yes and no. There was enough footage in SP for two films.
Why should we?
It was prophesied.
It's a crazy thought I have, not something that actually will happen.
So get up get, get get down...
"We should."
We should what? This isn't a job-related thing. This isn't a constitutional thing. We *should* nothing, but we *will* something. And you're going to sit this one out like the rest of us. Show me the rule book that states the whens, the how-fasts and the how-manys some here seem to cling to like it's gospel.
Last-minute? The film will be released in April next year. That's eight full months from now. (The Rise Of Skywalker was announced as a title in April for a film scheduled to be released in December. That's also eight months.) The seasons have to switch from Summer to Fall to Winter and then to Spring before that happens. Do you realise how absurd that "last minute" comment is? I understand you're excited. We all are. And we are all curious about more news, promotional material and so on.
But if you want some Bond in your life, here's a suggestion. You've got 24 films -- 26 if you're very open-minded -- dozens of great books, several great comic book titles, tons of books on the subject of James Bond, games and more. Eight months won't come close to being enough for all of this. Being a Bond fan is about being grateful for what we've been given so far and having a good time with that. Your "Now! Fast! It's too late! Disaster!" attitude is an insult to an already wonderful legacy and something belonging to a consumer with no love for the art but a desire for product.
Really? If they were presently shooting or planning 2 Bond films back to back, we would be very aware of that by now. They are not. End of story. You seem to be mistaking coverage of scenes for actual new and scripted scenes. SP did not have any scripted and performed material for 2 films. If u think that, you are, with respect, talking utter and total nonsense.
Why so grumpy?
He did say "with respect", and "my friend". :)
