For the film’s director Cary Joji Fukunaga – an American-born filmmaker of Japanese descent – Safin’s Japanese aesthetics stemmed from both his personal tastes, as well as speaking to where Safin came from. “We came up with a mythology about where he’s based, and how there can be a mix of cultural influences there.”
Haha, we saw that a year ago.
Spoiler alert spoiler alert X_X
I bet Gregg will do another one with his Dad.
Edit: Oh i just remembered he's in the trailer already.
... I'm starting to think that Madeleine is going to become a natural part of Bond's character arc by having that almost mirror to Vesper?
It would seem telling that in his first adventure he isn't able to be with the one he loves because of her past/secret, but this time he's able to be with the one he loves despite her past/secret. I don't think it'll be that telegraphed but I think it could be snuck in there subtley...
Nomi, Bond and Moneypenny walking down the corridor at MI6. He is on the left i believe. Looks like he is playing the same "role" he did in SP.
Edit: Yeah i checked, he is behind Nomi, for a millisplit second before the trailer cuts to the next scene. I had a Screenshot but can't find it right now.
Yup, this is the vibe I'm getting from the trailer and the tv spot. Hopefully the film will look different.
So why would her tomb explode at all? And who's behind it? Safin?
And why would Bond visit her grave at all? To get some closure since he now dating Swann?
2) These photos of two other graves, both pixelated names? Got know clue.
(Vespers tomb and the two graves were all built at ethe same location near Matera)
It’s quite fun to think that if phone cameras had been around when they were shooting DAF, this may well have been the only glimpse we’d have had of Blofeld before the film came out, as I think it’s the only time Charles Grey filmed in a public place. So we’d have all thought Blofeld was a lady all the way through the next Bond film! :) Imagine all of the ‘it’s too woke now’ stuff we’d have had to put up with! :D
It’s a bit of a relief to me! :)
Well, the journalist now deleted his tweet...I'm not saying something is afoot but...
I am guessing that...
I’m in the same boat as this thought. It would explain a few things we’ve seen and I can see it being realistic and plausible.
Also it would prove to be a good plot point to revisit later on in the film!! I’m game for this theme in relation to this scene
🍸
Doesn't particularly look like he's enjoying himself.
And also wasn't Moneypenny fibbing when she said that (it was an excuse for her to be there), and then Bond says "...raising the tantalizing question of what you're really doing here..."
Although I've always seen that line about Q afraid of lying to be true. I felt it was a way for them to define him as a character a little bit more after his introduction, and before we see him again in underground.
I hate flying and even I get up there once in awhile.
Yes, I thought this too. It makes sense he would be there for its first flight.
I am guessing that Safin's lair is in the sparsely populated Kuril Islands. Four of the islands are claimed by Japan even though Russia administers them since the end of WW2.
Ushishir Island in particular must've been an inspiration for the setting:
Prod. already filmed Safins lair (probably just exterior shots) on White island, New Zeeland, last summer. The very same vulcano island that erupted in december and killed 21 people.
Plus they also filmed on Kalsoy, Faroe Islands
Well this means nothing from a narrative standpoint. We already speculated that Safin being based in an island between Russia and Japan seems a strong option. The strongest as far as we know. Safin being a Russian name. Russian plates all over forest settings. Safin obsession for Japanese No masks. Bloody bonsai in his liar. Russian warnings inside his base. Scenes from the end of the climax filmed in the dark volcanic shores in Maratea. @GeneralGogol is onto something here.
Just pointing out the actual filming locations.
