I'm sure you're right. I just love to see locations and set pieces that aren't evocative of past films. The plane scene in Austria looks like it will deliver another distinctive Bondian moment. Hoping the car chase does too.
That sounds promising @Zekidk. I don't want to know details, but will Morocco feature relatively substantially?
There's gonna be a real saturation contrast I feel between the locations.
The scenes in London, the day scenes in Rome (if any) and Austria will be quite desaturated, with a lot of grey tones whereas like you said the Moroccan desert, Mexico and the night scenes in Rome will be very saturated with a lot of gritty, brown and orange tones. It'll be very pleasing to the eye :)
I agree with all of you.
Mexico will be a great - the great colours, sun. The scenes in London will be really grey I think. Rome will be really cool at night especially with the Orange Jaguar. Austria - black and white - perfect! Morocco will be a great place. Open plains, never endless desert and an amazing old city (Tangier).
I agree with @Zekidk SP will be more like TLD rather than OHMSS AND LALD
With all due respect: Italy should do it the Austrian way. By jolly, there's a whole infrastructure for filming locations in Austria. And they facilitate properly. Obviously things are different in Italy.
Moreover, I just can not believe that these things happen due to bad planning from EON's side.
I wasn't suggesting that it would, hence the phrase 'patchwork', ie. moments and scenes that evoked others, not the film as a whole. It's reassuring to know that those who've read the script don't believe this to be the case, regards these scenes. Still, I don't want it to feel like TLD either (I know it'll be different).
As I mentioned earlier, locations are very tricky sometimes. Example: I was directing a commercial a couple years back and we found the perfect suburban street for one scene. Our LM correctly got council approval to shoot - all neighbours, authorities etc. were informed and told exactly what we would be doing. The LM personally spoke to every person or family living in the street, who might be affected by the shooting, to give them details and reassure them. No one objected. Many were quite excited and asked if they could be extras in the background etc. All were told there would obviously be some disruption (with arrival of crew, small cast, equipment, lights, rigs, vehicles etc.) but as the shoot was scheduled for only one day, disruption was going to be short and pretty minimal. Still no one objected. We got the required permits, paid for parking permits etc. -and then guess what, two days before filming, after we'd mapped out the entire scene (re: staging, lighting, shooting) suddenly a handful of neighbours objected. Apparently one local, who it turned out didn't even live in the same street, banged on doors and persuaded others that a film crew would be too noisy and destructive. Suddenly we had to find another location - and we had to go back to another street we'd scouted which was okay, but not as good. Big film or small film, when it comes to locations, it's rarely easy - even for Bond.
@RC7 I understand you now. I would agree with your points you stated there. Of course, we all know it won't feel even 50% TLD. It will just have some constrains of the elements of TLD.
Everybody is linking to OHMSS automatically because of the Ice Q Restaurant and Piz Gloria and Blofeld - Spectre...
Sorry for asking, but how much is that actually? I saw all the films, but don't remember them anymore. Maybe throw a comparison to the last 3 films at me, please.
Yeah, a rewatch. Why not? All I saw in recent years was FRWL and the first Dalton to see, if I like it better now. (No)
The Scotland sequence is quite long. Morocco is exotic and colorful - so I like that.
People like that one should be sent to Siberia. It's really quiet there...
yes that is a nice accent. Can't place it though. Sounds a touch English, but yes a mix of some sort. Very pleasant sounding.
They can just recreate the tombs at pinewood no biggy
Well, it was a "buggy" with SF. I recall very well the complaints the film received in here, because it actually wasn't "on location" enough. I hope people realize not every fan's wish can be heard in making a Bond film.
Personally I'm quite sad they can't film on that beautiful classisist graveyard. It's simply a stunning beauty, location wise. But then I also know you can't simply blaim EON Productions for that. Same with the Palazzo di Caserta that was canceled in favor of Blenheim Palace. And, not to mention the trouble FYEO had with the monks in Greece.
She actually looks how I imagined the literary Vesper to be!
Damnnn, this is fffff-ing awesome B-)! So Daniel Craig will be back for a 5th film!
It's called brainless enthusiasm @doubleoego ;-). Learn to live with it hehe. And off course I know Craig is signed up for a 5th.
Nice if true.
