Bond does make his choice, it seems, by tossing gun in river.....although that choice could be changed.....but I do think the "all the time in the world" line foreshadows doom
I don't have a problem with Madeleine as a character, but the "all the time in the world" line seems to indicate she is The New Woman in Bond's life (I capitalized that for a reason). And EON should make that happen, by all means, but my concern is that as she appears in the script, Madeleine doesn't seem to have as strong a connection with Bond as would preclude him throwing his gun in the river and apparently driving off into the figurative sunset with her, FOREVER. Keep the parallels to Tracy and whatnot but until I'm given more evidence that the Bond/Madeleine dynamic is a love story for the ages, I feel like the film would be much better off ending with them driving off and Bond not uttering that meaningful sentence to her.
You could be closure to the truth than you realise.
Okay, fine. You got me.
I'm actually Sam Mendes. And I'm incorporating all of your ideas into the script.
:)) OK then Sam, count me in for leaving the line in. I'm really liking all the parallel scenarios from not only OHMSS, but other films too.
Really looking forward to seeing what the dinner with DN, I mean Oberhauser, looks like.
Oh, and any chance of a Lea in a bikini scene please?
when we as Bond fans here that line, we immediately think of Louis Armstrong and Bond telling Tracy as they are driving off at the end of OHMSS "now we have all the time in the world." in very loving manner...
Daniel could say it completely differently, and get a very different vibe from it... he could deliver the line similar to way he told Fields in QOS "Well then we have all night." .... those who remember that line will know the tone in which i am trying to imply here.
I am literally rolling on the floor laughing! =)) Anyone who believes that the Sony hacking was a publicity stunt is either INSANE or has not read any of the leaked materials. There is NO WAY they created HUNDREDS OF GIGABYTES worth of data (e-mails, scripts etc.) just to generate some publicity for a mid-budget movie.
As for your "inside track", good luck finding someone who will believe you! ;)
I agree completely. Sure, if the only documents that had been leaked were SPECTRE scripts, people would doubt its veracity, but it was leaked with an absolute metric ton of other things.
Personal information (e.g. SSNs) of Sony employees. Contact information for many people in the industry, including well-known actors and Barbara Broccoli herself, that executives such as Amy Pascal were in contact with. Those things can't be forged, and nobody is psychotic enough anyway to forge hundreds of details such as those just to get a fake script out there.
Let us not forget that SPECTRE was not the only movie affected by this. I myself have also read leaked drafts pertaining to movies such as The Girl Who Played With Fire from the Sony hacks. Are we to believe that somebody's got enough free time to make fake scripts for all these movies too?
What if, since CraigBond already lost Vesper*, they end SPECTRE almost the same as OHMSS, but with a twist.
Bond and Swann ride off together in the Aston, talking of marriage or whatever and stop just as in OHMSS. Except when NotBlofeld comes flying by shooting, he misses and B25 is finishing off Quantum, SPECTRE, and NotBlofeld for good?
I'd be VERY happy with that. An obvious but emotional nod to the past, without being a tired one.
There is no snowmobile chase in SPECTRE as far as I know.
It's Bond in a plane vs. Hinx and his men in 3 Range Rovers. That's it.
I think it's a nice conclusion for the character. It's not an extremely long scene but it has a certain amount of tension. No extravegant action sequence, but it's simply a scene between two men. One who has a job to do and one whose has reached rock-bottom. I do think this we'll be a scene to remember.
That would have been a shame, IMO. And they already have one killed at the meeting - the Spaniard.
I kind of prefer a final confrontation between Bond and Mr.White.
In October draft, Bond-Madeleine relationship was much deeper than the average Bond-Bond Girl relationship, but we must wait to watch how Craig and Seydoux work together.
I believe the Oberhauser/Stokman/Ernst Servan/Blofeld issue will remain open and it will be discoverd in Bond 25, whose title may be "Blofeld" and might be announced during the ending credits of "Spectre"...
This is the end of Spectre, but James Bond will return in "Blofeld".
If Waltz is indeed going to play Blofeld, I think that they should avoid the scaring, as it would remind people of Dr. Evil, something I think they should try and avoid.
