    Isn't it usually about a page of script per minute of film?

    Usually, but with films that have a considerable amount of action in them, the rule kind of goes out the window.
    Also doesn't include title sequence and end credits.

    Script page 15: Bond drives through Matera. ;-)

    It also depends on who hands are over the final draft of the script, I guess. If it's predominantly Fukanaga's words, then the script could be more visually detailed which would increase the page count. But even still, a 5-10 minute action scene likely wouldn't be the same number of pages.

    It's pretty fluid.

    From everything I know about Eon and how they operate, I think it went something like this:
    • Eon fire Hodge and Boyle either walks or goes under some kind of settlement.
    • At this stage, I think aspects of the Hodge script are to their liking. However, they need a writer, so bring back P&W.
    • Predominately, P&W are working from their treatment. However, the script is essentially a new beast by this stage.
    • I think a treatment or a very rough draft exists by late September.
    • Its this treatment/draft that intrigues CJF. He signs on purely on the basis that he is the lead writer.
    • CJF begins work on the script.
    • I think CJF does the bulk of the writing by himself. But they have a very compressed pre-production period and need a script ASAP!
    • However, I think Eon like to give different scenes or acts to different writers. So perhaps CJF works on Acts 1 and 2 - with P&W writing Act 3. Then they switch.
    • A draft exists by Xmas/Jan. This is the stage that Justin Kroll said the studio were happy with the script.
    • Nonetheless, there is a feeling that it could be better and Eon like to bring in a "fresh pair of eyes", hence why Scott Z Burns came on. Hes a known script doctor in Hollywood.
    • I think if CJF had his way, it would be finished there.
    • However, DC wants PWB. So she is bought on to polish the script.
    • HOWEVER......PWB happens to explode in popularity at the same time. Despite the lack of her work on NTTD, its decided that they'll put her name in the press release for marketing purposes.

    The end.

    There is every chance this film is a mess. They were writing the script in pre-production after all

    For anyone who’s never been involved in production, which is quite a chunk of the audience, the process seems like a jigsaw you work towards completing. The reality is that it’s a jigsaw that is constantly shifting and on occasion is kicked to by a toddler.

    "Bond enters the bar, walks slowly to the back of the room, chooses 'The Black Album" on the jukebox, sits down and orders a drink."

    vs

    "Nomi looks at Bond and says: Get your filthy hands of me, I am not that kind of girl woman. On the contrary you're my , momma!"

    Or slow motion, in Garth Marengi's case. . .

    Maybe he increased the line spacing.

    I wonder if Dali Benssalah will be another silent henchman?

    I could see him being a mixture between Patrice (Ola Rapace) and Dario (Benicio del Toro)

    You think Craig will have a new gun barrel for this film? Or will he use one he did already?

    A new one. To be honest, I think it's probably tradition now for them to create a new one each time.

    They always have since DAD, so I guess it's a 2000s thing. ;)
    • DAD: CGI bullet
    • CR: right before the theme song hits
    • QOS: at the end of the film
    • SF: ditto
    • SP: back where it belongs but with the silly quote right after it

    I actually like that we now get a new gun barrel for each film. I’m glad we didn’t just stick to one for Craig.

    Exactly, and also it would've been strange because as we've had such varying gaps between each film, to have a Casino Royale-looking Daniel Craig in the gunbarrel for all the films we've had, would just feel odd considering how much he has changed over the years.

    That’s how I felt with Brosnan and Moore’s last films featuring them in their gun barrels noticeably seven years younger.

    That'll probably be the status quo until December. And even then, who knows.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we get an interview from Cary seems like they are going down the line with interviews.

    I have thinking about that gunbarrel should be at the end of maintile and shoot him self in to light, so it is easier to bring the light back. On forced way, a bit like glas shooting in SF maintitles. As symbol the light is back a litle bit. Then in Bond 26 we can get gunbarrel as normal, because at the end of Bond 25 Bond his eyes are opend. Symbol that Bond with open look can look to the world.

    I asked Caroline Graham on Twitter about Lynch's Character being 001.

    Armistice Day. Commemorates to all soldiers...

    According to John Pearson, in his excellent biography of Bond, it’s our favourite spy’s birthday today. So, Happy Birthday Mr Bond!

    Maybe it's been ADR'd from '007' due to the reaction?!

    ADR comes later in post-production. So, if they have changed her to 001, it was likely decided earlier and during the shoot.

    Interesting that they’re doing this. It definitely seems like it’s building up to something.

    Yes I know, I was suggesting that they filmed it as 007 and then WILL be ADRing as 001 - I wasn't been entirely serious neither.

    Yeah, I suspect they made the change, if it's true, earlier on.
