Matera is starting to feel too long to be the PTS.
I'm starting to think it's...
I think, when compared to "SPECTRE", there's much less certainty on "No Time To Die" how the exact story will look like. It could also be the case that fast amount of sets inside Pinewood, of which we don't know of, are doubling for Italy too.
The "yada yada yada" could be him meeting M & Tanner again.
Or am I the only one who's convinced that's him saying goodbye forever? :-?
Well we know that Bond and M have a meeting at some point. Prince Charles' visit coincided with this filming.
Possible.
Such a 20 minutes flashback is not quite typical Bond material, but we know Cary likes to go back and forward in his works. I would not be against it.
I don't see any dramatic logic for the flashback scene to Matera - it just doesn't feel right when a straight narrative can explain all while it also maintains drama, suspense and danger. I think we are simply in for a long pre-title - a mini-movie which opens with Norway (some time in the past perhaps?) and then finds Bond and Swann together, directing following on from SP, in Matera, and ends with them parting ways. 20+ mins - and then titles.
I think that would be rather inspired and would add to the credence of Barbara Broccoli saying we find Bond in Jamaica. Perhaps when he is contemplating assisting Felix he remembers the last time he was in action, which would be Matera soon after Spectre. The talk of his depression could also play a part in this as well. It is all very interesting.
I think that's equally possible and frankly the most likely, yes. They've shown in the 'modern' era no real hesitation about having a quite-long PTS. And if a big piece of it is an edge-of-your-seat thrilling chase sequence, that time will fly by.
They could also change plans in the edit. The Norway sequence was suggested as PTS by the clapperboards, but depending on its place in the story (and time where it's set), could be moved after the titles as well.
"What, you're telling me Mendes set a record for the film biggest explosion? Well, I'll set the record for Bond's longest PTS ever. Watch this, mr Apted."
Agree. Many of those pieces will likely be what's done (and is yet to be shot) at Pinewood.

And why does he try to seduce Lynch - and most likely later - Paloma, when Bond and Swann seemed very much in love with each other in Matera?
Yes, and, I believe from memory, the clapperboards we glimpsed from the Jamaica shoot supports your view.
No time to die, but plenty of time to fall off a ladder!
your embeds for sassilive pics never seem to work @Red_Snow ….
For a second there, Dan apparently forgot the title of the film. "No Time for..." Oh, wait.
I have never seen someone write Es, Ts, and Fs like he does. He writes an E first like an L and then adds the two upper lines. Highly unusual.
That's taken in the Monkey Drink House. A tiny Matera coffee shop by day, a lively little bar at night, specialising in gin! Most the production team were there every night! Sometimes until 5am!!
I heard one spoiler below on my trip from a senior source. @00Agent was with me at the time too. It's part of a spoiler but it also raises lots of questions that I don't know the answers to yet. In the last week I've told three members on here who I know in person well but kept it from here until now as I'm now back from my travels so I thought it's time to list it for everyone. It's about the Madeleine Swann character. If you want to avoid it then just look away...
I DON'T know:
- If she is bad/working for Spectre
- Or if she is being blackmailed
- Or if she just doesn't want to be with him and wants an escape
But either way, Bond is affected/betrayed by whatever happens.
That's all I know but I guess it's another case of this film really linking back in many ways to Casino Royale like they hinted. There will be lots of Casino Royale parallels to Vesper, trust, betrayal, as well as him joining/rejoining the service in this film.
Now that I'm back home I'll make sure the photos and videos are uploaded one way or another this week for you all to see.
Thanks. Swann character had some potential in SP but in the film there were already too many things to handle. I always felt she had much more to bring to the role. Regarding this bit of info,
I'd say pretty spoilery. It talks about potential events and/or characterizations that Swann will see in the film.
