Automated or Additional Dialogue Replacement - where the actors go back in and re-record their lines, when for instance, it was filmed on location and there was ambient background noise affecting the original sound recording.
They had their writers and story that they were confident with and went with it. Changing her number, based on how many shots this involves (dialoge, reactions) could be quite an undertaking for a finished film.
But what i was 100% sure month in advance was, that the tabloids would make that story up just to keep it running for another couple month. It was so utterly predictable. And why? So they can piss of more people, and stir up more shit, this time with the liberal crowd who actually liked the idea of a female 007. Just create controversy, keep the whole "Bond is becoming PC" alive. "oh no, now he isn't". Well maybe he was never supposed to.
It's in line with the media overestimating their self importance. And also it's in keeping with tradition of making EoN looks like incapable, reactive amatures. Utterly predictable as well.
I will simply wait for official news, as i don't believe anything anymore.
I want EoN to stick with their vision whatever it was because i am still willing to trust their judgement.
I suspect it's been 001 from the get go.
Totally possible, in which case the tabloids have severly damaged EoN's reputation as well as NTTD's public perception.
Not helped by the fact that they basically still keep the narrative going and people will believe that EoN "chickened out" due to some "reactions" that the media created in the first place.
But let's just keep believing their garbage... sounds fun
Automated Dialogue Replacement. The Dialogue Editor (who is in charge of laying the dialogue tracks for re-recording in the sound mixing process) is tasked with re-recording an actor's dialogue (if needed and under the directors' creative guidance; i.e. the director directs the actor's ADR performance) and then the editor very precisely lays in the new ADR lines. ADR is required because - A/ the actor's dialogue is not audible enough or is spoilt by on-set noise such as SFX gun-fire or explosions etc., or heavy wind (or wind machines) or background noise ( traffic, aircraft etc.) during exterior filming. Or B/ the director (and/or producers) want to adjust or tweak the actor's performance, perhaps just the inflection, or to change a word or a line, like, for example, "007" to "001". Although changing a single word needs to be smartly done so it doesn't stand out because the new ADR line might fail to match the actor's lip sync (which human beings can spot instantly) - note Bernard Lee's M in Dr. No when, during the office scene, the editors spliced in "seven" to replace "Mi Six", but they just cut in the number to replace the word "six" and it jars and pops - most likely because it was a late last minute change and they had to cut the word directly into the mixed optical track (hence the pop), but today, with digital re-recording, ADR is incredibly sophisticated and seamless now.
That only shows them to be "stronger than ever" characters.
How does that mean we'll get a female 007 according to you? Because I don't see it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, because I read that opinion piece only once but didn't she say that Lashana refused to comment on the 'rumors' of her being 007?
Which means THR doesn't know anything.
And this too of course.
:-w
Yep. It's THR. They wouldn't print this if it wasn't true.
Do share it with yer forum mates, please.
:D
I think it'd be a bit of a missed opportunity to not replace Bond with another 007.
For the last & final time: what's the exact proof?
It's THR. It's legit.
Also, IMO, there's no way they'd pass up the dramatic (and comedic) opportunity to have her holding the 007 number when Bond returns to the fold. It's like a job title. Obviously it's going to be given to someone else when he retires. And having Nomi be just "another 00" agent is something you get away with in a pretitles sequence, or when you need to set up direct conflict in GoldenEye, but I'd imagine it would weaken this film's plot if it's just "Bond partners up with another 00".
I obviously don't know the final answer and anything could happen. But I would be baffled if they chose not to make her 007. It's just too...right.
How legit have they been in the past about Bond?
And we'll debate anything, you must know that by now.
I certainly do. ;)
THR is on the same level as Variety, Deadline, etc. I can't think of specific examples that speak to their accuracy on Bond, but one has to assume anything they're printing has the level of validity you'd expect from all those other industry trades.
We shall see...
:-B :-?
The scene with M could very well be the final scene of the movie. Which would explain the conflicting rumours.
Essentially, we still don't know anything and can only speculate.
I sincerely doubt that if the '007' rumour is correct that Eon got scared and pulled the plug. For every naysayer there were plenty of folk supporting her.
In fact, numerous people who worked on 'No Time to Die' or know Lashana confirmed she was '007'.
Nicola Thorp confirmed n her Instagram (in a now deleted story) that Lashana was '007'. She was on set in Pinewood. I suspect she may have a small role in the film
The stylist for THR also called Lashana the new '007':
However, I do think Lashana will be 007 in this movie. I feel like why keep mum about it if it's already out there (Oberhauser isn't Blofeld vibes), but, it is what it is.
What is the correlation between the two things?
It's not that obvious since Fleming's books actally imply that a new agent always gets a number that no agent has ever used.
Yeah, if a character quits their job and then has to come back, there’s always a bit of value in them meeting their replacement. It’s just dramatically interesting as it’s a sort of comment on that character and his relationship with others to see who they’ve replaced him with. It’s just something you would do, surely.
I think the ‘sticking to the exact word of Fleming’ ship sailed in 1962. Probably around the second James Bond was shown to work for MI7 :D
