But you didn't answer my second paragrapgh sure they can do that But again if Your John Logan or Sam Mendes or one of the people you claim love creative freedom which is more Creativly freeing an orgnization with clear distinct roles and a clear head that is iconic and everyone knows so no matter what you do your trapped to that or an orgnization that has no history and can be used in any way the director and producers see fit. If I was Mendes and I wanted to d my kind of bond films I would either do no orgnization or if I had to use one I would use one I can do anything I want with. Quantum gives that kind of freedom Spectre doesn't.
Lea Sedoux can't be the head of Spectre and if she was presented as such would make fans angry and scream violently....she can on the other hand be the head of Quantum and no one would bat an eye sure some might say she is far to young to be the head of a c riminal orgnization that has been on the scene for a while at least a few years before Bond became 007. but Mendes and company can do that. they could really give bond the ultimate temptation story citing if he joins Quantum he can have a wife kids a perfect life they can't really do that with spectre. The can make Quantum already control the world and force bond in a unque spot how do you stop something if it's already ahppened..
you can't do these kinds of stories with Spectre without people seriously being upset.
Like i said it's either a Draw this specific picture or draw whatever you want. if Mendes is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO admant over creative freedoms my money is on Quantum returning long before spectre shows up.
A comment from 2011?
When the exact quote is "Today I admit that I regard [CR and QOS] as really sh*t. All the people die in them, so two movies are enough for me" there isn't much to take out of proportion. :))
But I'm sure they can smooth things over (people tend to be more flexible, more humble, more apologetic, more what-have-you when dolla' bills are involved) and it'd be great to get some closure with White.
Whether SPECTRE or Quantum or neither one of them, I'm not banking on anything at this point. Maybe the press conference will tell us everything and maybe it won't. It's all speculation until concrete details are revealed.
But he came back after that quote came out and said that his quote was taken out of proportion.
In Sam Mendes movies, someone close to the hero usually dies :)
Let's see how the online momentum evolves in the next weeks...
Oh I didn't realize that. I guess that at least would mean Christensen is probably open to the idea of doing more whenever the producers want to follow up on Quantum.
:) :) :)
SO if for argument sake instead of blofield Mendes wants a Beautiful woman age 45 to play Maria Freudestien the head of Spectre you would be totally ok with that right? or if Spectre's main plot involve their financial gain through theft of rare artifascts and priceless treasures you would totally be on board?
Something tells me you wouldn't and would be quite upset of Mendes did those things however replace Spectre with Quantum and suddenly you would be fine. heck with the amount of goldeneye fans why not bring back Janus.
So this thread is only for those overjoyed with the recent hints and developments?
do you like it?? lol.... i may change it soon... i originally wanted Dr. Doak, but couldn't find a good enough shot of him - then i saw this beauty lol.
I actually would prefer a female as the head of SPECTRE! It is astonishing that there have been 23 official Bond films so far and NONE of them had a female as the main villain (Elektra King does not count).
I am not one of those fans who get upset about changing elements of the franchise. In fact, if I ever directed a Bond film it would represent the most radical departure from the Bond formula yet. I love it when they change things!
A woman as the head of Spectre? Great!
A movie set in one country and no globetrotting? I am all for it!
A Bond girl who happens to be a diverced woman (or a widow) with children? I would love it!
A Bond movie without any villains (but not without threats and excitement)? It would be really fresh!
etc. etc. Change is great!
I'm in favor of a female main villain as much as the next feller (would be a real breath of fresh air), but most would agree that we've had two already in Rosa Klebb and Elektra King, a behind-the-scenes Blofeld and red herring-cum-henchman Renard notwithstanding.
This Blofeld nonsense is blown way out of proportion.
All we know about Waltz is that he is probably cast, we dont know what part.
They already said this is going to be a standalone film.
And another thing, after the Skyfall success, there going to play it safe and deliver a good film. Not some corny "Blofeld is back" nonsense.
But this leaves us with a question..who will be the villain of the movie ?
Sure we have Blofeld but Blofeld always had help, Largo,Klebb,Grant etc. Batista won't be the main villain....so who will be the main baddie ? I hope they cast someone good..
This might turn out to be either the best Bond movie ever or the worst movie ever.. (well top3 probably).. I have to admit that I am very scared about the next one
I really really hope they know what are they doing..all those script rewrites make me scared....did SF and CR had a lot of rewrites ?
In this article, hearing that scenes may be filmed at the Royal Palace of Caserta. I believe this maybe a party scene that leads into a car chase through Rome, maybe with Lea Seydoux in the Fiat 500 and Bond in pursuit or Bond in the Fiat 500 with Lea being pursued by Bautista.
CR didnt.
SF had the extra development time so its hard to say.
The rewrites i agree are a concern.
rewrites happen all the time... very rarely is the 1st draft of script turned in and universally agreed upon... I'm glad Mendes wasn't wearing blinders - what Logan turned in to him he wasn't happy with, so went back to Purvis and Wade to have them clean his work up - then he brought in Butterworth to punch things up a bit, as he did with SF... at the end of the day, as long as a script is solidified by the time they start filming - your usually fine.... if they start going through last minute rewrites like they did with TWINE and DAD - then be concerned.
And Blofeld.
Free speech is a bit*h... :-??
I can't speak for everyone but I'm sick and tired of hearing about Blofeld, SPECTRE and Quantum. Why can't everyone wait until the press conference?
I will.
