Waldo..... they are doing a freaking where’s Waldo routine.... in a bond film
Sigh
It's just a freaking name. I-)
Was about to write the same thing, but you beat me to it @JamesCraig.
Exactly... hopefully people won’t make the same “Where’s Waldo” fuss as they did with “Home Alone” in Skyfall...
Hopefully, also, they don’t make that joke in the film itself...
Interesting! Didn't know that. Even more unlikely it'll come up in the film then.
Nope, all garbage
Thank you for discussing NO Time To Die, I saw 80 new posts and thought something good had happened. Instead it was the usual toxic fighting.
Two days left for Nomis stunt double.
Friday seems to be the final day of shooting. Maybe we will get something tomorrow
I apologize I could not remember whos she was and thought it was Nomi's.
I'm hoping for more Bond/villain scenes than we got in SP (loved the film but I did feel that it was a big step down from SF and its brilliant Bond/Silva interactions on that front), but even if we don't get that, I'm hoping that Malek will be a bit more of a presence in the film than Blofeld was. I get the idea, build up to the main villain, have some mystery around it, meet them when Bond does. But we've had that twice now and I think in Blofeld's case, because he didn't properly meet Bond (and the audience) until so late on, it really hindered him as a character.
I know that we'll probably be introduced to Malek in Norway at the start but I'm hoping that isn't the last we see of him until towards the end. Even if he's another in the shadows kind of villain there's no reason you can't keep cutting to him over the course of the film, like Blofeld in YOLT.
The ultimate Bond villains for me are probably Grant, Goldfinger, Kananga, Sanchez, Trevelayn, Elektra and Silva, and they all got a decent amount of screentime to establish why they were so great. Hope Malek's character gets the same chance.
It would be faux-progressive cuz she'd just be a one-and-done character like any other Bond girl.
IF that is happening, then I think it would be wise for them to keep using her in that role, otherwise backlash will happen.
Plus I think the main reason to have her be 007 at the end would be to have a “passing of the torch” moment, although I personally think that considering we know this film is set five years after Spectre, I believe she’ll be 007 from the start and possibly throughout.
I think that’s the best way to do it because then we’ve had this character for a whole film, and the code name being hers, hopefully, won’t feel like a waste, which is obviously some people’s concern.
It doesn't seem like a good move from EON.
*If* she is 007 then hopefully it's from the start of the film.
Because age has been made a part of Daniel’s Bond, it’s more than likely that Bond 26 will be a completely reboot and timeline, an entirely new incarnation of the character. If this happens, nothing that occurs in this film will matter to that film.
Now with that said, I would like to see Craig bow out not only as Bond but also as 007.
:D
Whaat? Don't we already know that
If the rumour is true and Nomi really will be the new 007 at some point of the movie, there are only 4 basic scenarios:
1. She is already 007 at the beginning of the movie and loses her 007 code by the end of it.
2. She is already 007 at the beginning of the movie and remains 007 through the whole film.
3. She becomes 007 during the movie but loses her 007 code by the end of it.
4. She becomes 007 during the movie and remains 007.
Options 3 and 4 seem unlikely based on what we already know. Option 2 would be very controversial and in my opinion would be only acceptable if Bond became the new head of MI6. Option 1 seems the most likely by far.
I think we're missing the bombshell from de Armas that her Bond girl "is different from the previous Bond girls."
I mean, that is a big shakeup.

Also, LL's stunt double is filming again tonight:

This other stunt double has confirmed that shooting has 2 days left:

So the film wraps tomorrow night. There will probably be news of a big wrap party soon!
I'll happily bet money that when Nomi is introduced in NTTD, she will be the new 007 (as the rumours have suggested she has a scene early on with M where it is revealed) and she will remain 007 throughout the film and at the end.
Basically, Bond doesn't regain the number.
