License to Kill?
And SPECTRE, right at the end.
Yeah but in LTK his license is revoked in the first act. SP resigns at the end, like you say.
In NTTD looks like he won't be officially 007 for the entire runtime of the film.
You don't talk about Fight Club.
The titles will say Ian Fleming's nomi's 007 in No Time To Die
If they’re really gonna be that pedantic over it, then just IAN FLEMING’S JAMES BOND. Job done.
But really it doesn’t matter since 007 is a brand on its own anyway regardless of what the story is (anyone remember the Higson Young Bond books?), and if this is about ‘tradition’, the first bu ch of films didn’t have that at all...rather, IAN FLEMING’S [book title]
I'm just trying to be correct since times are changing
I don't think they've changed that much.
Not all they haven't changed enough need to be more progressive we need Blofeld back in drag.
Brilliant. Bloody brilliant.
On to Nomi...
I am taking it to the bank: she is not 007. Let's get a grip.
I'd easily bet all my money that it won't.
But I do wonder if it'll say Daniel Craig as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007. Love the discussion regarding how inextricably linked 007 is from James Bond, so interesting.
Me too. It's bloody awful.
Same with the "I'll put a bullet in your knee" line. Her character comes across as arrogant and obnoxious.
I can just imagine the hysteria if it was Bond threatening to shoot her in the knee....
It looked amazing, but without context, Nomi's dialogue really did feel out of place. And I didn't mind it so much watching the trailer on my computer.
I'll keep an open mind until I see how it plays out in the context of the overall story.
Reading some of Fukunaga's thoughts after the trailer came out, I'm genuinely thinking that that's part of the plan: that those lines are meant to come across as a bit pompous and annoying. That her character is written like that: belittling Bond because he's "that old guy who went rogue a couple of times and let his former boss die". The audience needs to root for Bond, and giving him an annoying co-worker might help.
And during the course of the film, she mellows down and her and Bond work together, respecting each other more than they initially did.
Character development, it's a thing, and I wouldn't be surprised if Nomi is acting way different at the end of the film than she is at the start of it (and in the trailer).
I hope you're right...
Hehe, good one!
Well when M asks "Where's 007..?" in the trailer i'll bet good money he's not refering to James Bond....
Regarding M's line, I'm thinking it is Bond being referred to. Even without 00 status and being formally in the position. Retired generals are still generals, presidents are presidents. Marines are always marines.
And Commanders are always Commanders, as Nomi still refers to Bond in this way.
But as far as 007 goes, I really think Bond has lost the number. Just as you can’t call yourself General Manager anymore when you quit that job 5 years ago. There’s a new General Manager at the company where you used to work.
And I bet my money that that’s Nomi. And I bet again that M is indeed referring to her, and not Bond.
Different still will be the film when we see it, interesting to consider the possibilities in the meantime.
Unfortunately the cat is out of the bag on this one
It's like M's death was out there before the film was released and also Oberhauser being Blofeld.
Though possibly EON leaked this so the idea was out there for people to get used to, so by the time the film comes out everyone knows to expect it. Keeping this under wraps and then revealing the first time on the screen might have caused some fans to walk out in disgust.
Possibly revealing this is damage limitation, those that are that horrified by it by now will have decided to boycott it but most of us are going to see as we are Bond fans, the idea of it by the time the film is released having been diluted and it will be expected so when it happens you won't be surprised. Just a thought.
I'm just recognizing the difference.
M calls Bond "Commander" either based on familiarity and what he chooses to call him, or because Bond is still in military reserve status as commander and possibly even subject to recall to duty. Either way it plays up the seriousness of the contact.
Maybe by film's end he'll be made Captain.
He likely will be 007 in Bond 26 because it will probably be an entirely new incarnation of the character, one separate from the self contained “ Craig Universe “
Yes exactly.
Actually, most movie theatres had just a single film projector, as the reels had been stitched together beforehand on the same roll.
Besides Fight Club, the dots thing was used extensively in the plot for a Columbo episode, "Make Me a Perfect Murder".
That be cool if he is captain maybe Bond is in reserves and not on active service but not necessarily retired but then the whole thing with the visitors tag kind doesn't help that case.
