China is slowly going back into lockdown. 2 cities in the past 4 days have returned to severe lockdown restrictions (including closed cinemas). Jilin, a city of 4 million people, and Shulan, a city of 600,000 people.

There are now several clusters in China, including in ground zero of the pandemic (Wuhan), and locally-transmitted cases are rising after an entire month without such reported cases.
South Korea, also, has now confirmed all bars and clubs are shut down indefinitely due to a Seoul cluster that has spiraled out of control (142 confirmed cases).

Completely agree with this (and with a previous post saying that they would want to see it in November, be it cinema or streaming). Otherwise, should it just be delayed again for 5 years to be on the safe side? I agreed with that article about cinemas partially re-opening with physical distancing in place.
We really don't know an awful lot about this chase at all. I got to thinking about it more and recall reading an article that Bond starts the chase in the Aston Martin Voltane. It looks as though he ditches the Aston and has to use a 4x4. I wonder if the Aston gets wrecked and he is forced to use the self-destruct button from TLD. I love the car chase in TLD and the explosion after Bond presses the button is a damn impressive one....it would be a very deep-cut Bond nerd thing to add.
What do think? It's a pretty geeky reference in itself to bring back the 1987 Aston. I think Cary might just do this....go to 0:48 here:
I live in absolute hope that it happens. It be a properly nerdy Bond reference that I'd love. Even though I'm such a believer in the franchise looking forward instead of back. But this would just be a 'Bondian' thing for audiences who don't know and for the 2 people in the theatre who do know, they can nerd out over it. A little like the Hildebrand reference in SP.
Also, this is kinda interesting but I heard something very much on the 'down low' from someone trustworthy. I wouldn't share this typically, but since its lockdown and this film seems like a lifetime away...
Same. Hopefully not another "Breadcrumbs" but an original take on the Bond theme wouldn't be unwelcome.
Exactly.
I am 99% certain that NTTD will be his last though.
I seriously hope it's the latter. But my hope is that he escapes and is "whereabouts unknown" at the end of NTTD.
I need him out there pulling the strings.
I've wondered this too. At first I was extremely stoked that DC came back because I wanted to see Waltz again as Blofeld and for them to really face off, but now I'm even more excited for Rami Malek's villain I don't want Blofeld to steal too much thunder.
This is exactly what I want not to happen. :)
Regarding the release date, if virus is still strong in November, then there are absolutely no guarantees that it won't be as strong during the whole of 2021. Production of a vaccine is far from being a certainty, not only in 2021 but in general.
So if November gets cancelled, and cinema release is a must, NTTD could end up being delayed indefinitely.
Is that to say you hope his appearance in NTTD is minimal? It just seems like it’d be a waste of Bond’s arch nemesis that they fought for decades to get the legal right to.
EON can, of course, bring him back again in Bond 26 if they want to, it's not for me to decide, I'm just saying I wouldn't want that to happen.
One could say the same about Bond himself.
