Definitely.
Some more exciting words from Craig:
Craig doesn’t have any thoughts on the next 007 (“Who knows? I have no idea”) and won’t give any plot points away. “It's hard to say because we just finished it, but I think we've done something really wonderful,” he says. “We’ve got an amazing story and something that's going to be surprising for people. It’s all going to come together. There's many a slip between cup and lip, as they say.”
What's he mean?
There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
This is a very ancient proverb originating form south west part of Asian continent. The context of this proverb means that there is a many a time gap between the occurrence of two events and anything can happen in this time gap and things can change in a second. We should never be sure of our success in our life until we have achieved it and should work for it until the last second.
How does this apply based on speculation?
As long as she doesn't wear that powder blue bag thingie that she wore for the press conference in Jamaica... No seriously she looks great.

Oh, I don't know. I find it a bit boring too, but what are they meant to say? "My character is a bit flat and has 4 minutes of screen time, but I look great in a bathing suit?" It might be vaguely interesting to hear about 'empowered female characters' for casual fans, since they won't know the background of these sorts of lines like the superfans do.
It's a bit like watching post-game interviews with athletes. Yes, the cliches about "one match at a time" and "giving it 110%" are pretty trite. On the other hand, there's really only so many different ways to say, "we try to run fast and put the ball in the net."
My only quibble is when people (rarely the actresses themselves, mind you) make it sound as though they're revolutionizing what has always been a crap role. I've said before, you can go back to 1969 to find a really well-written and well-acted "Bond girl" in OHMSS.
Could mean that there's still some things to be organized in post?
This.
Most likely.
Even if those rumours about alternate cuts of the ending aren't true, they still have to finish scoring the film, creating the titles, grading the colour, doing CGI head and body replacement, and finalizing the editing.
I'd like to hear from you why you say "even if those rumours..."
Has someone from the cast, producers or Cary himself confirmed that multiple endings have been shot?
The last thing we need to do during these "lack of news" times is stirring up tabloid bs.
Craig era bond girls have been quite interesting even for lesser screentime, one of the actress Berenice played severine which I like very much, she could have given some hint about how her character like how is she somehow related to the main Villian or how badly she wanted revenge from him (not spoiling but small hints are enough). Not every actress is appearing in bathing suit you know ;)
There is a lot one can say but this is something out of our hand. We have to make do with what we got.
Bernice was one of the smartest and most respectful actresses to do these press tours. I remember her interviews very well, and she had a lot of praise for former Bond girls, praising the femme fatales she liked and who inspried her performance. I don't remember her ever saying her Bond girl was better or special, but even if, it never took over.
I think i'll stop listening to interviews for now. It doesn't feel like Ana and Lashana are hyping the film to me. Let's wait till Cary and Daniel step on the scene and hope it will improve from then on.
Though, i do hope the next Bond actor who comes along will be like:
"You remember those last 6 dudes who played him? Those guys were duuuumb. They got by only with good looks. My Bond will be much smarter and cooler, wait till you see the balls on this guy!" lol
Exactly. It really isn't very complicated.
I think it's all part of EON's marketing. I remember Sam Mendes saying all the good things about SP before release but when someone posted a recent interview of his he was going into details about what hardships they had to face while making the film and why it didn't work as much as SF. Can't remember which interview it was at the moment.
We're still months away from their official press junkets.
The operative words here are "if" and "rumors".

It would also help if you had looked at the post I was responding to; a question about whether there could be things still left to organize in post.
My response was simply stating that regardless of the rumours about an alternate ending (which would be perhaps the biggest thing left to organize in post if it were true) there are plenty of other elements still to be finalized.
So true. You have all the ingredients, and the editing room is where it all comes together.
I have full confidence in Tom Cross, he's one of Damien Chazelles guys and won an academy award for whiplash and was again nominated for La La Land. Outstanding filmography.
"It just occurred to me - if Jamaica is doubling for Cuba in this scene, it seems directly inspired from Ian Fleming's description of the mission Bond has just completed in the 'Quantum of Solace' short story."
Anybody expert here care to elaborate?
Aha, ok. Thank for helping out @Denbigh
