This Blofeld is "modernized" ... to which degree, and how successfully that is done, we shall see. This could go in so many different directions. And I, for one, sincerely hope we do not have any true reboot/remake of Tracy.
When I think of a successful (and for me very successful!) "modernization" of an iconic character, I look at the new BBC Sherlock. I love what they have done. And who would have pegged Benedict to play Holmes? Or Andrew Scott to play Moriarty (especially in that way)?
I hope Mendes and EON are clever and intelligent and give us something remarkable. It is a golden opportunity for them. Again this highlights the supreme importance of the script.
Very happy indeed with the cast! :-bd
That is a very interesting idea, and one that did flash across my mind earlier today, given her look at the press conference (not sure why). That would make for an interesting segueway into Bond 25. It would also mean she is not a bad gal, but rather a love interest.
Got to love speculating.
Love the teaser poster and the octopus!
And is it confirmed that Mr White is back? Can someone supply the source link? I fine that news very exciting, that they might be tying all the movies together.
He looked pretty good. Hair style was more CR'ish which I like. I felt he looked better today than in the SF press conference where he was overshadowed to some extent by Javier Bardem
Is this a rumour @SirHilaryBray, or have you got an inside scoop? It would be interesting if they use the Bulldog. Direct link to the end of SF and makes the gift more meaningful (M gives it to Bond in case of her death since he's the only one she knows she can trust with the contents within).
And if that's the case, then B25 can be "Shatterhand," with Bond chasing down Blofeld to get his revenge. Seems to reason that this could have been the 2-film arc that Logan first pitched to EON.
Of course then you would have Skyfall - Spectre - Shatterhand -- you could've have made alot of money in Vegas a few years back betting on 3 consecutive one-word titles starting with "S"
Quite.
b-(
Nope, because Casino Royale rebooted the series, and it ignored the previous Bond movies (plot-wise, I mean). Craig's Bond is in a different timeline from previous Bond actors.
Its scoop mate, I think a pen drive with a video of M. Possible Dame Judi cameo. Maybe details of who was behind the extortion plot with Vespers boyfriend
Tried to get here after the announcement, but couldn't enter at all, then was away from home for hours, and now have finally read through stuff here.
Not quite sure about the title, but it's interesting and I assume a possible double meaning there, and... well, it's growing on me already. I'll probably be very fond of it pretty soon. :D The font was nice and I love the teaser poster - clever and looks very good. Thrilled to hear Mr White will be back, and happy about Newman returning, too. And what a beautiful car, oh my. About the new cast members - I'm neither "oh yes" nor "oh no" about anyone. I will be happy to see what they'll do. And Daniel looked good.
All set...
Btw, I find what Mendes said about the villain very, very interesting. :-? I mean... is everyone absolutely convinced there'll be Blofeld in this movie? There wouldn't have to be, right?
Title
Being brought up with the Bond of the 90's, I hold no real nostalgia for the old organisation other than affection through being an avid Bond fan. I must admit that the title doesn't bowl me over, but it is good - undoubtedly Bondian and obviously Fleming, which is very positive.
Teaser poster
Stunning. Caught a cheeky peek on my phone at work. Grinned and got goosebumps. Really clever concept with the gunshot too.
Cast
Other than the regulars, I love Seydoux, Waltz and Bautista. I am neutral about Belucci. She's fantastic for 50, but I really hope that she does play a "wicked woman" a la Helga Brandt. I feel very 'meh' about Andrew Scott, but I wait to be proved wrong. The characters that they play sound intriguing, but obviously they are not allowed to give too much away. Not that they "don't know"! Excited by the return of Mr. White - a twist worthy of Hitchcock :D
DC
Looks in good shape and style. Best he's looked since CR. Sounds very comfortable and clearly ever growing into the role. Really looking forward to seeing him in action.
Locations
Good. Hope they make the most of every single location, especially with Mexico City which I don't think gets enough exposure in mainstream film. Despite some craziness over snowy locations, I am not over-hyped by them. Snow can be anywhere and I hope they bring out the uniqueness of the locations.
I will be bound to have more reaction soon but all I've got off the top of my head!
BRING IT ON!
Wow,that's really a bad picture of him.
Michael G. Wilson is 72 yo and for instance did not appear on the AP photos done after the photocall, whereas Barbara Broccoli did appear in photos with Craig & Mendes. It seems he was there according to some reports but didn't want to be on the photos. I'm not sure it's tasteful to joke about it.
I think DC has had some work done--and that is not to sound judgmental or critical. I saw DC in person in NYC last year, and I couldn't believe how old and tired he looked. He honestly looked 60. His blond hair was graying, which was why I thought they went so short for SF: to minimize the appearance of the gray hair, rather than dye it. There is no doubt in my mind that he's had a little coloring this time, allowing for the longer cut.
Am I the only one who is tired of these lead women who are 'quite like Bond but more sensitive' á la Vesper Lynd?
Nearly all the good girls have been like this in the Craig era, Séverine being the only exception. Why can't they make them a little wackier? Is this the only way they can come up with a well-rounded character for a Bond girl ally?
I won't be shocked if she's gonna become Mrs. Bond. If she did, I wouldn't mind to hear a reprise of "We have all the time in the world" melody in the score of the movie.
