Yes, definitely.
Will be interesting to see. My instinct says obedient, but only to number one. I get a Necros vibe from him. Capable, ruthless, but happy to defer to his superior. It's why I don't see the Grant connection. Grant appears to be a unerringly compliant, but I always got the impression he wouldn't think twice about taking down Blofeld if it called for it.
First of all, we don't know a thing about Hinx' character at the moment. Yes he's the henchman. But will he be more talkative than Oddjob? Has he got a pro-active approach as boduguard of Madeleine Swann? We don't know that aspect yet.
Secondly, henchmen are foremost characters that aren't that multi-layered as certain Bond-girls and James Bond himself. Bond has at least certain historical background that he carries with him trhough various Bond adventures. Even more so with the Craig-era films.
But henchmen, if it's a Donald Grant, Stamper, Necros or Oddjob, are usually not the most "deep characters". Still, from what I have seen so far I have a feeling Hinx will be smart, thus a bit more like Donald Grant. Oddjob for me was a rather...ehm....."clowny" henchman. More of a dumb executioner than a henchman with brains.
So I never hope to see clones or rip-off's. But it would be nice if Hinx has slightly more in common with Grant.
She also shares some scenes with her Inglourious Basterds co-star Christoph Waltz, who stars in Spectre (out Nov. 6) as the shadowy Franz Oberhauser. (Literally, the man is a shadow in the first trailer.) According to Seydoux, he’s a pretty complex guy:
Bond aficionados may find out more when the new Spectre trailer debuts on 007.com early tomorrow morning (3 a.m. EST). Meanwhile Seydoux has already gone ahead and come up with a great new tagline for the project:
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Bautista said Hinx would be more than a grunting thug? I think I remember him saying he'd be educated or something of the sort.
Yeah, it was reported that he's not just the 'muscle'.
But that again is what the producers would have to say, isn't it? It would be hard to emagine them presenting him in another way.
Not really, they could easily just say, 'He's the muscle'.
Sounds good to me.
To me he's a cross between odd job and grant. The first thing I thought when I saw him was odd job, although the I'm getting the feeling that he will have plenty of originality
15 years ago maybe. Not in this 'modern era' intent on eliminating old clichès.
Well they cited Jaws, so I don't think they're being too precious in how his role is perceived and that in itself is more cliche than merely suggesting a character is 'the muscle'. Either way, I'm intrigued to see him in full flow.
This will make for a nice desktop background!
I wonder if my wife would agree to putting it on our bedroom ceiling?
Finally we get to see this:
Is this really...
Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.
As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.
There's really.....a wonderful kind of love in really EVERY aspect of this film. Just....have a look at these pictures/images I made (SPOILERS AHEAD!!!):
Will Lucia Sciarra become another "sacrificial lamb", like so many other Bond girls from the past? One would say "yes" after seeing the full trailer. But just at the moment you think Sciarra is being shot, someone else is shooting at the two hitmen behind her:
I've talked before about injecting some "gore" in a Bond film. Well, this image is not for young 'eyes', as it now seems Hinx indeed popped out someone's eye. It's perhaps one of the most horrific images ever in a Bond film:
There was a lot of criticism in here about equipping Bond's new Aston Martin DB10 with lots of Q-gadgets. But, I think the people really re-introduced and re-imagined the gadgets in Bond's car carefully. In these pictures you can actually see that....the gadgets seem to be in some kind of 'test-phase'. The buttons are assembled on top of the luxury dashboard in a rather clumsy way. A perfect way of introducing gadgets if I may say so.....The "backfire button" is now officially a "Q-gadget" ;-):
I have a feeling that the re-imagined S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is not just sinister, mysterious and scary. It IS sinister, mysterious and scary. And I think there's also a connection with the villain Silva from SF. It seems that his.....hacking-work is now being executed by S.P.E.C.T.R.E. in a much much larger scale. Just look at all the people in this picture working in front of a big PC screen. It's kinda....scary no? Perhaps a fate of our human civilization??:
I think we're going to see some more of the mysterious character Doctor Vogel, played by British actress Brigitte Millar. She appears to have a rather important seat in the S.P.E.C.T.R.E.-conference room. Also, her role has never officially been confirmed yet:
And lastly, this is a wonderful reference to Sean's white dinner jacket as worn in "Goldfinger". It even has a red rose in it. Great attention to detail from the producers :-):
Just look at this @SirHilaryBray :-P:
By the way, Spectre is the second most trending twitter topic right now.
