Ah, you got me there. Nice one :))
#Focus
But whatever, I'm out of here. Peace out.
read the following:
Makes no difference.
@ertert I always thought that Blofeld will pull an Hannibal Lecter on them: help Bond against Safin who will remain the main antagonist, then escape custody at some point.
After initially expecting social distancing measures would be "significantly lessened" by late 2020, Cowen's Doug Creutz has "now extended that timeline," which will affect the company's film and theme parks units.
"We had previously assumed that the spread of COVID-19 would be relatively halted, with social distancing requirements significantly lessened by late 2020," Creutz wrote. "We have now extended that timeline out to at least mid-2021; the situation remains very fluid, and we do not rule out the possibility that the impact could last even longer."
Creutz said he expects "no film releases in fiscal year 2020," which for Disney ends in September, and "a modest slate" in fiscal 2021. "We now expect domestic theaters to be largely closed until mid-2021, in part because we don't think studios will be interested in releasing their largest movies into a capacity-constrained footprint."
As far as Disney's theme parks unit goes, Creutz expects the "recovery trajectory to be pushed out at least one year." While Walt Disney World reopened "at limited capacity last weekend," he said he believes "that at best, heavy capacity constraints will prevail until at least mid-2021, and ... there is a meaningful probability that the park could be forced to close again."

Well, I don't see how any business can reopen after 1,5 years of not making any profits, at some points studios will have to release their movies into limited capacity because if they don't, there will be no cinemas to release their movies in the future
In a couple of weeks the autumn/winter release dates will start to fall like dominoes. Perhaps NTTD will take the F9 spot in 2021 with F9 moving to July.
I called this back when the film first moved to November.
I apologize to you all for my idiot fellow Americans who can't be bothered to put on a mask.
Well something else to look forward to! Once this is all over there's gonna be so much coming out between all the shows and movies that were delayed.
I don't think Bond would take precident over F9 for Universal. It's one of their flagship moneymakers. Bond is iconic, of course, but people absolutely flock to the Fast films despite their ludicrousness.
What would Bond be like in July?
This is exactly why there's a chance it might happen: July seems less risky without mentioning that given its nature F9 is a more suitable Summer title for Universal.
I hadn't thought of it that, @matt_u. Good point.
Actual Bond spoilers discussion? In my spoiler thread?
Ok, jokes aside, I agree with this. The 'Now your enemy is my enemy' probably implies that Safin is working independent of SPECTRE, or was a former employee who has himself gone rogue. It is likely he is the mastermind behind the gassing of the SPECTRE party using his weapon and sparing only Bond. The mechanism behind how the virus/gas/whatever spares only Bond is yet to be seen, however it seems to me to likely be connected to the talk about Safin and genetic warfare - perhaps a sort of toxin/virus that selectively attacks people based on their genetics?
It's been accidentally revealed to the masses by production crew that the big lair is owned by the 'Safins', with an s.. Whether this was just an unintentional grammar mistake, or a clue into Safin's organization/relations has yet to be revealed. We do know that, at the very least, Safin comes from a line of Russian pharmacists, so it probably refers to this rather than any other way-off idea.
Who knows with the Blofeld line, though? Given that this will be the last film of the Craig continuity, the chances of Blofeld escaping or dying seem equally likely, although I at least hope something interesting happens to him because him stuck in prison would make for a very dull character arc for him. Despite having no confirmation indication that anything happens to Blofeld after him and Bond confront, I really do hope that he at least will have a moment in the spotlight, whether it is him escaping or dying, although i saying this the trailers might be intentionally obfuscating us as to Blofeld's fate. Hell, I hope that that moment is when Madeleine turns and lets him go and disappears to Safin's lair.
Another character that's been all hush hush is Ash. Apart from the big chase, of which we know he coordinates, absolutely zero has been revealed or even seen of him in-movie. In fact, we still don't know if Ash really turns and coordinates the chase to kill Bond, or is an agent working to bring Bond back to authorities after he goes rogue for the 485738th time, or to assist him in escaping Safin's henchmen.
And on the topic of that scene, we see Bond driving frantically to save the as yet unidentified blonde woman in his car. Could maybe be Madeleine, her sister, clone, child, friend, the list goes on. There isn't really a clear shot of her even in the highest quality version of the trailer there is currently out. The hair is completely different to the official clear shots we have of Madeleine, and we assume the big landrover chase takes place pretty quickly after Bond confronts Madeleine in MI6, no to mention the fact that the two have been confirmed to be in a scene where they hide out in Norway (where the scene of Madeleine crying over the box with the mask in it likely happens - note her short hair and dark dress similar to the one in the corridor) and get discovered by Safin, leading to the chase in the forest where Bond stumbles upon someone (call sheet leak, note that Mathilde was also in the scene) and then the big car chase, unless it's even more misleading from the trailers.
All in all, I just want to see a Bond movie have some of the old outandish, wild elements back for Bond, instead of going the modern way and taking the boring route under the guise of 'realism'. I want to see genetics-selective viruses. I want to see clone children. I want to see Blofeld rise back up as Bond's biggest nemesis, running his own underground web of terrorism and extortion. I have faith that, even with the different environment of today's cinema and audience expectations, Cary can bring back even a little bit of this type of Bond movie for Craig's big sendoff, and I cannot wait to see the movie, no matter the format. I honestly would not mind even watching a digital copy on my laptop and then afterwards, rewatching on cinema.
How so?
@phantomvices Where the hell did you got this still from? I have the still were you can vaguely make out it's a female in the backseat. Endless debate in here on who it might be, adult Swann, her as a young girl or a daughter, etc.
This is the first time, at least for me, one can see it's Swann. Or is it?
https://boundingintocomics.com/2020/07/15/rumor-james-bonds-no-time-to-die-film-will-undergo-reshoots-to-alter-major-plot-point/
Yeah that's clearly not true....that YouTube channel tried to push the same thing back in April
That's the most laughable rumor so far. Reshoots...in a pandemic. After quote after quote of Cary saying he's not touching the film again. Oh tabloids, I've almost missed you
Complete garbage.
“For all intents and purposes, we had finished the film. I had mentally finished the film. Mentally and emotionally.” Cary Fukunaga.
Plus, given the fact that the film will inevitably underperform, nowhere in the world MGM would pay for reshaping the villain’s main evil scheme. Without mentioning that the film hadn’t screenings so the notion that a virus centric scheme “tested poorly” is just utterly ridiculous and a lie.
Ok. Been trying to grab a clear shot from the trailers for God knows how long
Kids usually sit in the backseat...
