BOND ON SET by Greg Williams (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)

TheBondFan

What are your thoughts about these books and what do you want for Skyfall's book?

Germanlady

Gregg Williams knows how to put DC on photo and has done some of the best series of him. I want pics, I haven't seen before from SF. REAL behind the scenes stuff, please...

zebrafish

I wish for pics that do not span 2 pages, because the binding makes it impossible to enjoy it without a stripe missing in the middle (if you know what I mean). Otherwise I expect nothing but the best behind the scenes photography one can get, pictures that tell stories.

We already have two topics on this subject, even a Skyfall one, so you can continue there @TheBondFan.

okay, thanks. I just thought that a general thread for the series would be nice.

It could be a better idea, now I think about and may well be better to keep this one open. Let's wait and see what the mods decide.

Great books though, really. Greg Williams has fallen into this part and I hope can continue to produce these books for as long as he is able to.

I am sure we will get ANOTHER quality book from Greg? I know it will certainly be a purchase for me! :-bd

It seems like the book is already being sold at amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/Bond-On-Set-Filming-Skyfall/dp/0756698405/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348306744&sr=8-1&keywords=Bond+On+Set+Filming+Skyfall

Although I own all three previous Greg Williams Bond books, I can't honestly think of any time I've looked at them since the original day of purchase, the photos are great but considering the rather hefty price tag I'd be far happier with a suitably large amount of accompanying text. Considering the media U-turn regarding CR it would of been great to learn the cast and crews perspective of the whole experience...mind you it still won't stop me buying the SF one though!

Samuel001

I too, only really look at the books once but they're a nice momento from the film.

If anyone's bought one, please post pictures.

Well sniffed out PP. I would have never expected this to be on sale over a week early.

outlawgenius

I'll have it on Monday.

TheBondFan

I ordered the book months ago, and it said it will be delivered between oct. 9-12. Now it says Sept.27-Oct.2. WTF? :-/

VeryBond

I would think that would be a good thing...?

It is, of course, but how does that happen? How can I get it before release? (it says Sept. 27-Oct. 2)

RogueAgent

I wish MY local bookshops sold Bond on Set books. :(
There's always AMAZON lol. :D

outlawgenius

*Just* got the book delivered; I'm browsing through it and it's more exquisite (and contains tons more pictures) than the other Bond on Set books for CR and Qos. It also contains snippets of dialogue and screenplay from the script, which the previous ones didn't (at least QoS didn't; I don't have the CR with me in my apartment).

MrBond

I have just ordered it and i count on getting it at the end of this week.

Cool! Thanks for the positive feedback! So looking forward to picking up my copy once available.

outlawgenius

I will warn you guys: There seems to a rather significant spoiler towards the end of the book, something that I don't think any other spoilers have picked up on yet.

dragonsky

^ Spoiler? SF Spoiler? hmmm weird

btw can someone post pics of the book once they got it :)

Care to elaborate?

outlawgenius

The last photos are in what I presume is the new M's office, after the events at Skyfall lodge, and Eve is sitting at at a desk, for all looks and appearances the new Moneypenny, which makes sense since earlier in the book, as Bond is exploring the underground MI6, he sees her carrying files and she remarks that she has been temporarily reassigned from field work.

And here's some photos I uploaded to Tumblr: http://outlawgenius.tumblr.com/post/32208083187/bond-on-set-filming-skyfall-by-greg-williams

Wouldn't it be so funny if she did turn out to be Moneypenny

doubleoego

So, that coinciding with

The alleged Harris' contract to appear in more movies

definitely lends a tad more credit potentially for the rumours to be true.

marketto007

So all the earlier "rumours" were actually real.

PanchitoPistoles

Amazing photos! I can't wait to hold the book in my hands!

Some people said that there is no way Eve is Moneypenny since she is a field agent and Moneypenny isn't. Well, Eve is a field agent at the beginning of the film but then she shoots a 00-agent.

HMBFF

@outlawgenius could you upload the photos of Eve sitting at a desk in the new M's office?

dragonsky

While we are trowing it around out there I want to say that now I'm pretty sure Ralph is new M

Sandy

Yep, it seems that way. I have no problem with it, as long as it makes sense. Thanks so much for sharing these photos @outlawgenious! Is it my impression or

is Kincade wearing a kilt

. Not sure if this even qualifies as a spoiler but you never know.

gt007

@HMBFF, there's a reason everyone's using spoiler tags...
