I really hope that is true....Here is my take:
Then we head into the main-titles, which are followed by the subtitle: 'Jamaica, 5 years later'.
However......I suspect the Madeleine flashback will be significant later and we will see it in its entirety later in the film. I think Bond will come to discover that Madeline's assassin always intended to kill her and not him.
I think Malek's father was killed by a young Madeleine at the house. Since then, Malek has spent his life finding out more about his father's death and why he went to that house. I assume that Mr White was working on developing a 'dangerous new weapon' that Malek has inherited. I don't think he is in Spectre though.
Also more news on the 'hotel room' set in Matera:

Also, worth bearing in mind that...
But I still think you could be on to something. It make sense for them not to 'fridge' Madeleine. But there have been rumours that she dies and Bond suffers depression after....
Also, I'm adoring the interior of that set. It's very reminiscent of Mark Tildesley's work on the rather fantastic 'Phantom Thread'.
She said "The story starts in Jamaica", not "The film starts in Jamaica". Bonds journey, as far as the main plot is concerned, starts in Jamaica, since that's where Felix comes to visit him and where the main plot unfolds. The villain's scheme starts with the missing scientist.
But the film will probably start in Italy, as quite a lot of sources say Matera and the other Italy scenes will be the PTS. Which means that Italy will probably be more personal to Bond and may not have a connection to the main plan, or will appear so at first glance.
I agree that whatever happens in those Italy scenes, will have major consequences for the rest of the film, and that's why BB wasn't comfortable with giving it away.
Your last sentence is something that has occurred to me; done well, it could be incredibly poignant.
An interesting piece of trivia - every Bond film since The Living Daylights has had location subtitles.
That coat is available now from M&S, it's very 2019.

Daniel Craig, Lashana Lynch, Rami Malek... at least.
So sounds really like a hotel room, maybe Bond and Madeleine honeymoon retreat. I think it was you suggesting this set to be blown up, and I think you're right.
Funny thing about Sassilive... I didn't report the news for obvious reasons bu those funny guys made an article about Waltz replacing Malek as Blofeld, aka the main villain of the film.
At least they made another interview with Enzo Sisti, confirming the 19th of August as the beginning of filming. Cary and Linus are already in South Italy since a week or so and during some Matera filming they will need 1200 extras. In Mexico City were 1500. Sounds like those shooting are goin to be logistically so much complicated.
Sure? Looks like the first time Bond meets Nomi is in Jamaica. Maybe she's part of the sequence but never meets Bond.
The main area concerns 'Archeologica de Padre Eterno e il Bastione Medievale" and filming over there is planned until late September.
Maybe, but it looks like something that could easily have been worn in the 90s.
Nostalgia is always roughly thirty years behind. In the 80's people were nostalgic for 50's, in the 2010's people were nostalgic for 80's, and in 2020's people will be nostalgic for 90's. So it makes sense that the coat fits both eras equally.
If that sequence is set in the late 90s it’s almost certain that authentic clothing would have been used.
Is it possible that the photos and footage were from rehearsals and that she will not be wearing that jacket in the actual film?
If so, it points to a flashback of a young Swann.
Even in pure scifi settings cloning can easily derail. Star Trek Nemesis is a fine example.
The girl has the jacket on in this clip at least:
Oh, I know, but is this the shot that will be in the film? I very well may be ... but maybe not.
The plot of the 007 game Agent Under Fire was cloning.
;)
Who knows? One would assume that every shot – a "test run" or not, would feature the actors in the clothing they're supposed to be wearing…? Or am I way off here?
