    The cloning of viruses & lethal bacteria to create biological weapons seems much more grounded in reality. I sure hope this is the angle they went with.

    Same here, but there's one scene I do not understand yet. Bond in Safin's lab and those three or four watertanks in the background with something living inside. Either people or animals. Could be animals used for testing..

    Isn’t it possible though those tanks are being used to genetically modify the virus/bacteria? Those tanks may be the key to making the bio weapon grow.

    In a way, yes.

    I thought it was jellyfish in those tanks. Jellyfish can be used to help grow/cultivate bacteria.

    On a side note, when I went back to take a look at that scene, I noticed that there is a"Noh mask" on the monitors. I had not noticed that before.

    Yes. That mask must have significant meaning to him.

    Some are suggesting this would prove a "cloning" theory. I say not so fast. As I suggested when Madeliene was dressed the way she ]was at Safin's lair, there may be some other deeper, more sinister connection between Safin and Madeliene. At least, I would find that angle wildly satisfying: he saved her life and she has some twisted affection for him.

    Has anyone thought of the obvious, here? That Madeleine and Safin are sister/brother, or half? That's been my gut feeling. It would fit with the whole Craig-era approach of making everything "personal."

    Obviously it could also be that Blofeld's more involved in all of this than the trailers are revealing, and escapes/is set free in the third act, and/or that he's genetically related...to someone. Or is Safin a clone of Blofeld? :))

    Definitely possible. Would be a relief of sorts. Only thing would be why is she so afraid of him and his masks?

    Personally I think @TripAces prediction might be more accurate than another sibling connection plot. Given that Fukunaga is directing and the poorly received foster brother backstory between Bond and Blofeld, it seems fairly doubtful they would go down that route again.

    Think we’ll be lucky enough to get a snippet of Zimmer’s score this Friday?

    During the Variety interview on Thursday is what I assume the reference was to. I doubt that any clips of the score will surface but would love to be proven wrong. It is most likely just references to the Title Song.

    Ah, I had forgotten about that interview. We’ll see if anything new surfaces but looking forward to it regardless.

    The Tenet prologue has been released by WB on YouTube. Man, I hope the opening of NTTD matches it in execution.

    I would hope it blows it away easily, or else we're in trouble.

    (Really off topic) Have you guys heard this? MI7 shoot:(Audio) Tom Cruise going ballistic over crew breaking COVID-19 protocols

    I’ve always thought Cruise is a bit of a nut job, but I think his actions here are justifiable.

    Personally, every time I turn around lately, I’m hearing about more deaths & more severe infections from this damn thing.

    I've felt like flipping out and having a massive shouting meltdown at work myself, lately.
    I do hope things simmer down, eventually get back to normal and that we get to enjoy NTTD soon (as well as the next Mission Impossible entry).

    TC had no right to berate his entire crew. Most on set are abiding adults.
    The others should have been professionally dismissed from their employment.
    Also, Tom somehow and always comes back to Tom. How’d he make it about himself? He’s up all night! On the phone with producers!! They are the gold standard!!! This is what I sleep with (or whatever he said).

    He sounded like any other short, very short, tyrant.

    The accompanying video really shows his childishness coming out in full force. I think it's appropriate to make sure everyone's following the COVID rules during this time, but this is definitely extreme.

    That really depends on how long/how many times the issue has arisen on set.

    He's the boss there, isn't he. That outburst wasn't meant for our eyes. Though some points could be taken up with the union I guess.

    Mr. Cruise is invested in that activity and the overall film industry at this point in time and it shows, his frustration is understandable to me. And I'm actually not one of his defenders across the years.

    It’s extremely hard for me to defend Tom Cruise most of the time, but I respect him for putting his workers in place. I’m every bit as sick and tired of the “Anti-Maskers” as he is. These people don’t realize that it’s not about them, it’s about the safety of others.

    From what I have heard, this is the about the third time Cruise has had to go over this with certain crew members and he'd had enough. Understandable. He's putting the time and money into this production, which has already been shut down over COVID issues

    I have a question. The stuntman who's jumping off the stone bridge in Gravina, Italy, is that David Grant or Andy Torbet?

    Okay, but first, we must sanitize hands.
