    Keep Quantum for the Craig films, I think there's plenty of
    Mileage to be had from them.

    That's just how it is!!!

    Absolutely and hopefully this will happen!!!

    I would be happy if Quantum morphed into Spectre. I'd like a tie in to Quantum, yes.

    And @Murdock, you and I agree on the Opera scene in QOS. Splendid part, and also about it showing Bond's ego (a la Connery did so well).

    Funny considering I didn't insult you.

    Sorry, you compared me to a troll. I find it pretty insulting.

    No I never compared you to a troll. I said bickering back and forth over Blofeld for the umpteenth time is like having an argument with a troll. I don't want him back and you do that should be the end of it. Enough already.

    The guy with the same name as the leader of a large crime organisation for the fifth or sixth time. To me, that sounds very, very boring.

    But the name is the LAST thing Joe Public remembers about Blofeld.

    How do you know? Do you speak for the public? Your a Bond fan like the rest of us. You can't speak for an entire demographic of people. Just because some in your area don't know anything about Blofeld doesn't mean the rest of the general audience doesn't.

    I do not know, I assume with a relative amount of certainty from my partial experience talking to non-Bond fans and even casual Bond fans. They mix many characters and movies up. Moneypenny is often referred to as the secretary. Oddjob as that Chinese guy with the hat. Jaws as that guy with the teeth who "always comes back" in every old Bond movie. Blofeld and Largo are mixed together like that Simpsons spoof. Etc, etc, etc. People remember glimpses of Bond movies. Iconic elements.

    I know about Blofeld because I am a Bond fan. You know about Blofeld because you are a Bond fan. And even you don't seem to be able to make the difference between the spoofed image and the source character.

    Nice way of resorting to insults. I don't know much about the book version because I haven't read all the books thank you. I don't read much. I watch movies so I know about the MOVIE version. Which I've had more than enough of. They can do the book version hopefully under a different name. Creating a new character. :D

    I urge you to read the books. Read the "Blofeld-trilogy" TB-OHMSS-YOLT. You will find to get more respect for this wunderful Fleming character.

    Actually, I think I'm gonna read them again. Just like I re-read "Casino Royale" in 2006 to prepare for the one and only movie adaptation of the same name.

    I find it ironic, we are the one talking about Blofeld from the source material, yet we are supposed to be unable to get that there's nothing to do with him?

    Bond has been rebooted and is in a reboot so why not Blofeld... and don't say because been there done that. We haven't. We are in a reboot and Blofeld as a character never got handled all that great in a lot of fans minds...and critics too.

    Can we talk more about this LDLF acronym? Someone over at CommanderBond.net came up with this title "Like Death Like Fire".

    The next film will have O in it to go for the 007 logo.

    Skyfall didnt have it, and they rarely go more than one movie without that.

    Quantum appearing in Bond 24 would instantly make it the worst James Bond movie of ALL TIME (including Casino Royale from 1967 and Never Say Never Agian). This is a fact. No, I am not being hyperbolic.

    Why?

    Because it would be like Jar Jar Binks making an appearance in Star Wars Episode VII. The whole Quantum storyline was a complete failure, it wouldn't make any sense to see them return. Quantum returning AND then turning into SPECTRE is an even more terrible idea and an idea only a James Bond fan could come up with. The large majority of the people who will watch Bond 24 in the cinemas around the world has NO IDEA what SPECTRE is. Which means that for them revealing that Quantum is actually SPECTRE would be like revealing that Quntum is ABCDEFG or HIJKLMN or any random 7 letters.

    Having said all of this, I am not worried. I am convinced that a genius like Sam Mendes would never approve a terrible idea like the return of Quantum, let alone Quantum turning into SPECTRE.

    I agree with this post

    LDLF could be Love Doesn't Last Forever, a UK short movie to be released in 2015, by a VFX artist who worked on many recent blockbusters, including Skyfall.

    About Blofeld, I don't know what is the most striking info in this graph : that thousands looked for it when Waltz's name was announced, or that hundreds look for it every day anyway.

    Wait a second Did someone who got a few things right but then started posting crazy images say bond 24 was Death Leaves an Echo?

    Perhaps it's that?

    I believe that was StoneShi, who was banned. But that acronym is DLAE.

    Actually, Bond going back to space wouldn't necessarily be an awful idea. A PTS or a big action scene inspired by Gravity wouldn't be half bad and it would certainly be a far better idea than the return of Quantum.
    I'd rather have the Vanish back.

    StoneShi was an idiot, the last person to be trusted regarding this matters.
    After all, he was wrong when he said that the title would have been announced, as the comic books series was announced instead.

    Stoneshi was a troll. So, naturally, nothing he said was of any value.

    The script reading with all actors should be going on soon.

    That graphic merely says people think he may play Blofeld or wish he will. So far there is little evidence for it. When did tjene rumour about Moneypenny being played by Naomi Harris came up? That would be an interesting comparison.

    A script read-through (or table read as the US call it) normally happen just a few days before the start of principle photography so that all the crew, cast etc. get a feel for the entire film in a single reading. It also gives the writers a chance to hear their words spoken by the cast actors and therefore gives them the opportunity to go back and fine tune.

    I would guess Bond 24 read-through will be towards the end of this month.
