I feel the same when people bring up Blofeld.
Yes. He wrote a two story arc and then Mendes came back determined to do a standalone movie. I imagine he was fairly annoyed.
Sorry I love the organization that beings with Q (I like you a lot Panchito so i will try different ways of saying but not saying the Q word.)
One thing that dawned on me when Mendes was announced I was nervous and said I felt the locations were underwhelming (and still do) in Skyfall so dark so gloomy Someone said Mendes doesn't make the same film twice so have faith.
Austria Rome Morocco and Now Mexico the person is 100% correct location wise this is MUCH better then Skyfall.
Good thing I or the Internet weren't around then. :))
I too have a feeling he will not be the main villain (too predictable). I believe his role will be quite significant however.....perhaps similar to but more so than Giancarlo Giannini (and maybe he will repeat the role in B25). Let's see.
He could be playing a Blofeld type character (a master villain who is revealed as such at the end of B24 but who is posing as a friend to Bond in B24).
Exciting days indeed.
What makes everybody think that Waltz signed up for the same role Ejiofor was considered for? This is a complete repeat of early 2011 when both Bardem and Fiennes were rumored for Bond 23 and everyone thought they were contenders for the same role.
I just don't want to go into it like I did SF: anticipated it too much, found out way too many spoilers, and didn't enjoy the end product as much as I wanted to. The fault lies with my expectations and the film for me, but don't get me wrong, I'm still looking forward to it! It's Bond, after all. ;)
A number of the articles reporting his casting also said that he was taking the role intended (?) for Ejiofor.
Those articles are all based on Baz Bamigboye's article which did NOT mention that Waltz got the role Ejiofor was considered for. I am willing to bet 100 British Pounds with anyone that two more big name actors will join the cast: one female, playing the main Bond girl and one male (probably a black British actor), playing the main villain.
I think I have an idea of how Sam Mendes thinks (based on interviews) and I believe there is no way he would cast Waltz as the main villain. If he does end up playing a villain, then he will be the one operating in the background and will be the boss of the main baddie.
A "Number One" you might say? :D
If Brad Pitt isn't in Bond24 I don't think there will be any risk of that. =))
Baz Bamigboye: Brad Pitt to join Bond 24 :))
Who said anything about SPECTRE? All we know is Waltz has been cast. Nobody said anything about Blofeld or SPECTRE except for a few who want to relive those glory days...
