Four months of preperation for a 10 day shoot? They must be building some sets there. This does indeed spell "large scale."
The Blofeld code name theory :)
Well, I dare to propose that the camera setting we saw may mean that in SPECTRE, there will be a shot of Craig in the moving train, seen from outside. Now, do you do that to shoot a conversation, or a fight :) ?
Are you sure ? Super-predictable "opinions" are boring. And this works whether one is predictable because one's 100% negative, or whether one checks the IMDB ratings on any movie before saying it's good or not...
I suspect some here will look at the weather forecasts of the shooting locations to check if everything is going smoothly :)
If this true and the end of SPECTRE could see Bond meet Blofeld with Mark Strong considering they were out there together "hill walking" Mark and Dan are best buds, Dan is Mark's sons godfather. However Dan denied he was there filming so if that was an attempt to keep the secret then perhaps so is this, maybe all along your made to think Waltz but this the big twist like how they kept killing off Dame Judi a secret
The codename theory is like an epidemic: it touches every character.
My guess is that White is White, not Blofeld. He has some characteristics of Blofeld, and physically is quite close to the novels' OHMSS Blofeld, but let's not forget he was invented about ten years before they got the rights for the character. And he also has characteristics foreign to Blofeld: he is far more in the field than Blofeld.
Yes, basically, we have then an info according to which Mark Strong was around when Craig was shooting SPECTRE. It does not prove anything about Strong being in the movie or not, but it should make the rumors go wild. But, it means Craig would have lied on purpose. Therefore, the rumor won't be so wild after all : IMO, if you base a rumor/hypothesis on the claim that someone lie, you sound like a conspiracy nuts ;)
Not sure @PanchitoPistoles. I just posted what's on that link.
Hiding in plain sight perhaps?
For a moody mute shot, I'm pretty sure the director wanted to see what he got when he shot it.
A miniature background is also not expensive compared to CGI, and when it's done, it's done. SF uses a lot of miniature work, and when they went with CGI, it gave in particular Silva's island, IMO far less convincing than any miniature work in the movie - troubles with a too short post-production planning ?
Also, even if it sounds cynical, this was also a "product placement" shot : Heineken and the Sony phone, paid largely for that miniature background :)
Finally, notice we know Chris Corbould is back for SPECTRE with his miniatures, but that we'll probably never have any communication about who will do the CGI etc...
And I understand why: SPECTRE is much more prone to weather circumstances. Remember, they will be filming heavily in Austria. Sam Mendes confirmed they return to the snow. It means that with this film there's perhaps even more planning and back-up scenario's involved.
But I think Barbara and Michael already have quite some experience with that with OHMSS and FYEO.
Barbara Broccli was about 8 years old when OHMSS was shot...
LOL, true, but I meant saying that they must have some experience with on location shooting in difficult and unpredictable weather circumstances...
I'm sad she'll be desk-bound in SPECTRE, she was great in SF.
Monica. I love her: "If you're beautiful you get noticed, if you have talent you get hired." Absolutely true. I love her. Period.
And, again, confirmation from Naomie Harris. She won't be travelling. She will be locked up in Pinewood, behind her desk, where she needs to be :O) .
