I just can't read anything in a spoiler tag.
2. the return of sassy Bond
3. the fact that Hinx may not be dead after the train fall, like Jaws in TSWLM.....meaning he could be back in B25. He seems to be coming back over and over again in this film
4. the return of a cable car scene - shades of FYEO with Bond evading the thugs...only this time it's Q
The script seems to indicate the same level of humour as in SF, but maybe dialed up a little more, and with a few more 007'isms thrown in.
This could be the most fun we've had since Brosnan's era. Gloomy Craig may be gone for good.
I too am interested in the answers to your questions @timmer.
Like i said the leaks have not only made me excited for Spectre but more then a little curious for bond 25.
It appears we are going to get that entry where finally gets to be full on Bond from what others have said, not sure about
according to the shooting outline
Goodbye, old friend..... :-)
huh?
If the shooting schedule is correct you've nothing to worry about :D
And I for one will be grinning like a crazy fool when I watch it in the cinema
This info was actually available for about one week. I mention this just to emphasize we've probably had all the available info about SPECTRE from these leaks from the very beginning, and that we'll probably have no more after that. So from now on, every new change they'll make on the script will be a surprise for everyone until the movie it's released.
And, well, for instance, scene 21A (as seen in the clapperboard photo) simply does not exist in any of the available leaked data.
It's not as if he had strong scripts to deal with :) When you have no story, you use iconography...
and without the A, 21 does seem to match...?
- with some many action and still have time to build strong character development i would say this movie will be as long as Casino Royale. Do You agree?;
- also isnt there to many scenes with helicopters and airplanes?
- i do think that the Morocco scenes must be very well directed and constructed in order for the Oberhauser motivations to seem consistent.
- also it is still not clear to me how the Sciarra character works in the plot, and why is Bond after him in the first place?
- this film has so many homages to the past films that may be everything that DAD wanted to be and missed clearly. There are scenes that remind DrNo or LALD, others FYEO, others OCT and so on.
With the trully exceptional creative team behind the movie this is going to be pure BOND so .. Mr. Newman i AM EXPECTING the 007 theme and classic Bond melodies all over the movie, ok?
My 2 cent comments are within the spoiler tag.
Yeah I'd say that clapperboard photo is pretty spot on to scene 21 (Bond's apartment floorboards, bulldog from M)
Thanks @bondjames for your comments. I understand and agree with your remarks concerning the music. So basically we agree on almost everything.
And yes if the non-spoiler crowd look at enough pictures, they should end up spoiling much of the plane chase scene all on their own. ;)
I think one of the most obvious nods to LALD is MP visiting Bond's flat, while Bond is entertaining female guest.
Again its night time, again we have girl running about the flat, a la Miss Caruso (Madeline Smith) again we have Bond in robe.
For all we know, Bond may also have some fancy kitchen appliance that he is showing off too, although that was originally more for M's benefit, and he's not there this time.
This is great stuff. I like these smartly crafted homages.
Again there does seem to be a lot of scenarios being re-visited. Not really direct homages, although some are, but simply re-working tried and true, Bond movie scenarios that can always work, such as dinner with villain, a la DN and even TMWTGG to some extent, although the SP scenario, seems like a full-on nod to DN.
Bond on assignment in pts, with female agent-partner and implied love-interest helping him is back.
We have Mexican agent Estrella working with Bond, and later asking if he's coming back to the room. Liason is implied.
There was implied liason between Bond and the French agent in TB pts too.
Same with Bond and Bianca (Tina Hudson) in OP pts. The OP example is probably the most direct comparison.
Q in the cable-car is indeed inspired by FYEO.
@livingroyale I think your explanation re Mr. White makes sense. ie because Mi6 knows exactly who he is, and because everything went to hell in Bolivia, he may have been lumped in with Greene as expendable.
Spectre does not tolerate failure. :)
Bond's infiltration of the Spectre meeting, is I think a nod to QoS.
The QoS scene was very well received, so why not revisit in a fresh context.
Also, I am not clear what is going on at this meeting, but the fact that Hinx takes out one of the members (at least I think its a member, who else would be there) echoes the iconic, Spectre meeting we saw in TB, where Blofeld zaps the bad apple.
Hinx as Jaws throwback is apparent too. But this time, I am sure they will keep him bad.
No devolving into ally, a la MR.
And yes, @Bondjames I hadn't considered maybe he could survive train battle. We'd have to have a better sense of what actually befalls him, but I think that's a real possibility.
Why not milk another film out of him. Jaws 2.0
\
And disfigured Blofeld at end. That is great! Scar origins potential. Maybe he develops his cat fetish in a future movie.
It does seem, that those that rescued the original draft, have cooked up a very poignant Bond script. It does help to have Purvis and Wade around, as they are familiar with the film history. Wouldn't say the same for Logan.
The making of SP will make a great book, in a couple of years time, I think.
But sure the potential QoS scenario is definitely there, which itself was borrowed somewhat from Bond and Anya in TSWLM.
Disregard. Later posts make comment obsolete.
It's a shame Irma has disappeared from the later drafts.
Once the scene numbers are added to a screenplay - normally a bit before or at the start of pre-production - so everyone can follow what's what and where in the story - once scene numbers are added in the script then moves into revisions mode which means if scene numbers remain fixed even if scenes are deleted or added because constantly changing the scene numbers would cause chaos and confusion for all the hundreds of crew and cast working on the production in different departments. So if for example scene 7 is deleted, then that is written in the script DELETED SCENE but the following scene 8 remains sc 8 it does not now become sc 7. Letters A, B, C, etc. are added to extra scenes which slot in between original scenes, for example scene 21A has been added in between the original sc 21 and sc 22 in the shooting draft. Hope that helps.
And well, the Gawker author has written that there was no "Blofeld" in the early scripts, and some people claim that the 9 Nov outline is the first mention of ESB, but even in the early script "C" introduces Waltz's character as "Ernst"... So frankly, it was ESB all along, hence why the notes call him that way.
Also, one hypothesis about the trailer :
