Mexico is pretty cool as a final location. Lots of globetrotting this time.
It's good to see the screenwriters being part of the readthrough as well. That must be some great action lined up. Action, which Butterworth helped on.
Three weeks left!
They are just repeating Baz but forgot to mention that Baz said it's not clear whether he will play the main villain.
A lot of people here are absolutely sure that Waltz will play the main baddie. I am certain he won't. Anyone want to bet 100 British pounds? ;)
100 mi6coins ;)
Nope. I'm waiting for the press conference.
I'd imagine whatever role he has, he'll be right up there with the great characters from the series.
The news is true and even if it wasn't, Ejiofor would still be out.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2833780/BAZ-BAMIGBOYE-Tarantino-villain-Bond-s-cunning-nemesis.html Well, now Christoph Waltz has been confirmed, it's time to look at the character description. And in all honesty? I really think we could be heading towards a slow introduction of the character Blofeld ;-). Christoph Waltz character is being described as "I am told that the part is a complex one. It’s not immediately evident whether the part’s friend, or foe, or a bit of both. He is extremely cunning, a nemesis of sorts".
This smells like.....we are perhaps heading towards an epic of two films (Bond 24 & Bond 25) in which we actually SEE the character evolve from an ally towards a villain. Perhaps....Blofeld? I think this would be a typical Sam Mendes thing to do also. That we now see another complex character evolve from a rooky to the person he is now. Not Bond, but the villain....
Whatever role Christoph Waltz has been signed up for.......it'll be a major role. Waltz will not just play a Fleix Leiter type of character. No way. Villain, ally.....or from ally to villain.....it'll be a large role for Waltz. By the way.....Bond is going completely viral with this casting news. And that will drive up interest for Bond 24 in a similar way as compared to Bardem in "Skyfall" :-).
Bond 24 and 25 won't have a two-parter storyline. Mendes confirmed on Charlie Rose this year that one of the reasons he returned was that the producers agreed to make Bond 24 a stand alone movie.
The next time I read the word "Quantum" on a James Bond related site, I am going to jump out of a window... :bz
Key scenes in the first, like TB. Bond 24 seems to be getting a fantastic
Cast list.
Also, interesting how there's no mention of Logan attending the read through but Butterworth, Purvis and Wade get mentioned.
This role proved that Waltz can be just as amazing playing a good guy as playing a villain.
It started with Mads Mikkelsen (Danish), then Mathieu Amalric (French), then Javier Bardem (Spanish) and now Christoph Waltz (Austrian, although Klaus Maria Brandauer is Austrian too) ;-).
Yes. It's an 'obvious' choice, but sometimes that's no bad thing. He is on paper absolutely perfect. Here's hoping P+W and Buttermunch have delivered.
