Had a look throught Google translate, and basically its a few sentences about Bond being a trained but still emotional guy, and how PWB's assertive female characters are going to force Bond to change his ways 🙄. Really generic, roundabout stuff, sadly - same fluff they've been saying this entire tme.
The rest of it is just about Craig and his acting history.
(the important bits of the article, translated badly thru google:)
The more tortured side of the secret agent, plagued by doubts and suffering, is said to be linked to his influence. Likewise, he insisted on accentuating his stature with intense bodybuilding sessions, resulting in this overhaul that was both bestial and introspective. “He's an assassin. I wanted it to feel in his physique. And that affects him, even if he is very closed. Men like him, who know how to control their fear, does not mean they are not afraid. "
Both are signed by director Sam Mendes, whom Craig has recruited himself, just as he has added stripper (google translate no) Phoebe Waller-Bridge to the screenplay for No Time to Die, and worked to "change" 007's relationship with women. . “Bond has a heavy liability,” he sighs. By confronting him with very assertive female characters, this is one way of forcing him to change. "
Speaking as a woman myself, I'm actually really sick of seeing this kind of trope. Why can't we just have 2 people, a man and a woman, working together but having normal working conflicts la Lethal Weapon or something where it's just genuine human beings being disagreeable but still respecting each other enough to get the job done instead of being in constant conflict just for the sake of making some Statement about how women are strong and awesome? It's patronizing as hell. As if we haven't seen strong (and well written) female characters in the Bond franchise. As if we haven't seen women take over the situation and be dominant over Bond already in both strength and wit (Mayday, Bambi and Thumper, Xenia, Pam, Vesper, Christmas, Jinx - the list goes on, and this is only considering the more modern Bond girls). As if we haven't seen Bond have and respect a whole ass female boss for the last 25 odd years. Just because Mendes shit the bed on writing a good new female character doesn't mean that the Bond franchise is some sort of misogynist's haven.
Over the last 30 years, there have already been dynamic, strong, assertive women in action films. Hell, even in Bond. Fighters such as Wai Lin, Jinx and Mayday, as well as thinkers who may not fare well with conflict but are strong, 3D characters in and of themselves such as Natalya and Vesper.
Stop writing us as if we need a leg up. It does the opposite of what you think it does for us.
+1. Nailed it.
We also have a bird eating Mr White s eyeballs.
Tiger's eye, you say? :))
I love how on this forum we actually have someone whos been so close to the production we can get proper hints off of him, thanks for sticking around with us. Must be very amusing watching us play Cluedo here :))
I identified Primo's jewellery/glasses several months ago. He wears Emanuelle Bicocchi: a tiger eye ring, cross ring, silver crochet bracelet, and L.G.R Eyewear sunglasses 'Reunion' 1428 Black Matt 22/Flat Mirror Blue.
Perhaps it is not coincidence that the tiger eye ring is on his left hand, while his left eye is damaged. Maybe the cross ring hints at something too.
Additionally, I had a theory that the stack of books seen in Bond's home all relate to, and are in order of scenes in the film.
Identified books from top to bottom:
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (bike action at the start of the film)
The Complete Book of Sea Fishing (Bond fishing in Jamaica)
Welcome Aboard! (trawler/seaplane scene or CMA CGM tanker scene)
Your Spaceflight Manual (space topic? or just a reference to Nomi learning to fly the glider?)
Farming the Edge of the Sea (Safin's algae? plot)
A Sailor's Tales (Navy vessels)
Sunset Song (ending, Bond 'riding into the sunset'?)

They even have the original release dates.

Well, thanks for the offer but no. It won't be the same. Maybe I should ask that Insta guy if he can take a picture of the postcard and share with us.

Super weird, previous date was Nov 8 (week of international release). Total speculation but wonder if this may be indicative of the film release moving forward internationally
@QBranch Great job, thanks. And I can't decide. Damn..
Which one is the closest in terms of colours, in your opinion?
It would be interesting if it was.
However, if the book does release early, I would love to see it here - provided everyone is fine with this. Or make a new thread discussing it.
I've bought it already, so as soon as it arrives, we'll have plenty to discuss ;)
On another note, if the film moved to October we'd be happy fans indeed. Fingers crossed!!
wow this looks amazing!
this looks amazing (150 €) (648 pages)
Ok. Do you want cred in a tweet?
Strange, mine wasn't refunded. I've sent them an email on the matter. Let's wait and see what they say.
