    If it was "SPECTRE Of Solace" or something, that would tell me it's a stand alone adventure. Just "SPECTRE" is an intro to a continuing engagement IMHO.

    I've got to speak my mind on this one. "She's becoming more masculine and he's becoming more feminine", isn't this a bit frustrating?
    Yeah. They should surely keep Bond as masculine alpha-male. Let's not hope BB wants to turn him into: :-)

    "...She's strong but she's like Bond in a way. She's strong and she's very... sensitive. She's fragile and I think that Bond is the same. So, she became more masculine, more "viral" and Bond is maybe more feminine now so it's nice to mix them both."


    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?

    We have to remember that she is thinking this description up on the spot (I think, it certainly looks like it) and we might think of something completely different to what she actually meant by those words. Although I'm intrigued by her character development from "sensitive" to "masculine".

    I have a feeling that her character will have more of a development into the "Bond-equal" a lot of actresses describe their Bond girl as, instead of being his "equal" straight up. I also have a feeling her character was the British Bond girl we were supposedly gonna see and that Bellucci's character was the Scandinavian one, which would also mean that the Bellucci's character shouldn't be "age-defined" as younger actresses were rumoured for the Scandanavian role.

    I really wonder how large of a role Mr. White will have in the film. I could see him playing a small role (maybe just one scene and finally getting killed off), or maybe a pawn used by Spectre throughout the film? Quantum is either subordinate to or IS Spectre is my guess.

    Yes, she gave a French reply, nothing more :)

    Question: If they were to re-introduce Blofeld in SPECTRE, would they have to explain Roger's helicopter-chimney-drop from FYEO? Because if yes, I wonder how that'll go.

    One word: reboot.

    That's exactly what I wanted to mean. Although, I don't want to upset my fellow Bond fans here, this little idea of Bond going "more feminine" is just... well... wrong.

    Helen McCrory and Andrew Scott. Made me curious or she sugest him to producers.

    English is her second language. She says "viral" instead of "virile".

    I do like like Bond manly and alpha-male esque, but in all honesty I like the fact that Bond could be sensitive. Doesn't mean he will act more or less like a man.

    Thanks @Ludovico. When I was writing down what she was saying I was confused when I heard "viral" and knew thats wasn't what she said but couldn't work out what the actual word would be

    Scott has worked with Mendes on Broadway in the play The Vertical Hour a few years back.

    My guess is that White will be dealt with in the PTS to cut off all the lose ends from the CR story arch. Then maybe the few remaining members of Quantum are hired by SPECTRE. That could be the hook that puts the plot in motion.

    I agree the shower scene with Vesper was a humbling piece of cinema and probably the most human bond moment.

    She was amazing in Medea. What if he plays the same kind of character? That is my bet so far anyway, especially if he is MI5.

    You can second that. I wanted something more original but oh well.

    Now I like that bit.

    Mr. White will be offed in the pre-credit sequence. My guess is, that this will be in either Morocco or Mexico City Bond hunts him down. Certainly not Rome or Austria, for various reasons.

    It also could pose problems with the marketing. Here in Germany spectre has always been dubbed as "Phantom", so this title means zilch to most Germans. I could imagine this to be true for other countries as well.

    Perhaps the entire PTS is dedicated to Mr White, being killed off in his private jet en route to Mexico City (Where SPECTRE has got its lair). His black private jet is being flown with a remote control by a SPECTRE-operative. And then it crashes, intentionally, in Obertilliach near a gletsjer where a dead body is being found. Because SPECTRE needs to kill "failures" like those ex-QUANTUM members. So, a completely Bond-less PTS. And then after the main titles, Bond's going to investigate this dead body, which is Franz Oberhauser's father (short story "Octopussy").

    By the way, just found this short interview with Christoph Waltz. What an intelligent man he is. And so true. Bond is not just a movie, "It's history, culture, mythology" :-).

    Yes. That particular scene was a great dramatic touch by Paul Haggis. In fact, it's interesting how all the best, dramatic, non-Fleming scenes in Casino Royale were Haggis' work. Even the conceptual idea to include Vesper in the submerging house was Haggis.

    This is exactly why I am glad that John Logan and Jez Butterworth worked on the Bond 24/SPECTRE script. Purvis and Wade tend to write inventive action scenes, but they churn out clunky dialogue and even clunkier drama.

    A reply that sounds like any description of a Bond girl since about 1989.

    Sensitive worked in the novels, the films are quite at a distance from working well in that area. I would say more sensitive Bond is what we had with Brosnan (i.e. more than enough) but then again Craig is a different caliber of actor.

    Also, I think we geeks need to prepare very well for this 24th Bond-film. So let's re-read :-P:
    To get to know Ernst Stavro Blofeld & S.P.E.C.T.R.E.:

    To get to know ski-instructor Hans Oberhauser, who's found dead in a glacier:

    Wait so if Mr. White is brought back, would that mean that CR, QoS, SF, and SP all take place in the same timeline?
  • Wait so if Mr. White is brought back, would that mean that CR, QoS, SF, and SP all take place in the same timeline?

    Absolutely. Earlier I already said that CR-QOS-SF-SP could turn out as a skillfully written movie quadrilogy ;-).

    En route? You do know that Mexico City and Obertilliach are like 9500 km apart, right?

    i think it could be that the father is Waltz and the son is Andrew. So Andrew = Blofeld. i wonder if they will make it more personal by making the bond's parents death in a ski accident and tie it to the Waltz's character!
    Yes, sure *irony*...
    Andrew works for the British secret service. Don't you think that they would have found out? I mean you have to pass a huuuuge test when you want to get a job there. They would definitly have found out!
