It makes sense because you believe it and won't stop being negative.
Sorry but that's the way I see it.
@00Dalton7 Empire will have several set pics in the upcoming issue on Oct 31, not just the one with Craig. They even teased us with that in the first preview article.
So far the explosion in SPECTRE has a record yes, but we don't know what kind of scenes with explosions they've filmed for NTTD, and maybe also beating the old record. If so EON might have a NDA with Guinness World Records just to so keep everything quiet until the big opening in April.
Remember, all the stuff we have seen so far is just fragments here and there. Like 30%.
We haven't seen Rami Malek, Ana de Armas, on or off camera at all. We haven't seen Waltz. We haven't seen two of the cars in any scenes (aston martin lagonda & valhalla), only valhalla briefly off camera.
I can con't but you get the point..
Nope, because they likely want to keeps information about his character under wraps. Whether he is secretly Dr No, or just someone from Madelines past still remains to be seen.
Is there any basis on truth, or is it just fan speculation?
Eon have eschewed ‘rebooting’ iconic characters for over 40 years before they attempted to do it with Christoph Waltz as Blofeld. That experiment produced very mixed results. I think they will be gun-shy to do it again.
Especially, as Malek would be Dr No in name only. It would be far more effective to just give his character a new name and ‘hey presto’ you have a new character. Much in the same way that Silva has joined the pantheon of great Bond villains, I think Malek will attempt to do the same with Safin.
Plus, it doesn’t make sense for Safin to kidnap another scientist, when he himself is a scientist. He’d be far too arrogant to concede in this way.
How do I know? Because I literally just had the issue delivered in the post and read it!
@00Dalton7 any chance you can post an image or scan of the article here?
I really don’t see the point in the having a pissing contest with themselves over worlds largest explosion when they did that already. Remember they (Martin Campbell) were very smug about only having one explosion in Casino Royale back in 2006 in a film with actual substance and danger and then they have Mendes reheating themes from Skyfall in Spectre and hoping “the worlds largest explosion” will distract from the fact that the film was a rushed, boring mess.
The empire article is dross. It’s a two page spread with one photo and about 80% made up thoughts based on hearsay.
Off topic, but is Nolan’s Tenet previewed? If so, anything substantial?
Blofeld may back again in next decade for all we know.
We still have not seen or heard the confirmation that Safin will be Dr. No.
What? 8-|
No we haven't I was just asking why he should be Dr No

Doesn't surprise me. As Groucho from Dylan Dog once said, "journalists make up 80% of what they write and twist the remaining 20%".

Since this is also a new timeline, it makes sense that EON would bring other characters like Dr No. back, to draw audiences to the seats of cinemas around the world.
Wow so that was the "BIG" article we were all waiting for with "heaps" of photos. Thanks once again EON
What is on the cover?
Calm down. None of that's necessarily not true. We know from the leaks that SP was at least written as if it could be Craig's last. And the two year gap between SP and him announcing he was doing one more makes me think that he genuinely hadn't decided. Not unfeasible that they were scoping out back up options in the mean time.
I have to say I have no problem with Eon rebooting classic characters. Fleming created wonderful villains and supporting characters with great names, Dr. No, Red Grant, Irma Bunt (who was in an early SP draft), Tiger Tanaka, etc. etc., so I see no reason why they can't reinvent such characters, just as Felix has been resurrected for the Craig era. Warners and DC have rebooted iconic characters, Joker, Two-Face, Commissioner Gordon, General Zod and more, so, as I say, I see no reason why Eon can't do the same, as long as they do it smartly and with respect to those great Fleming creations.
