Am I the only member of the Naomie Harris fan club?
I absolutely adore this woman and think she is perfectly cast as Moneypenny.
She is just so naturally elegant and has such great charm.
Well done. That's a hell of a catch. Impressive.
On a different note (no pun intended), I think the Franz-Bond connection could play out another way. Remember, as Silva suggested, nothing is simply random or chance. There are multiple layers and plot lines that could explain how/why the head of a huge international crime/terrorist organization manages to have a former foster brother in MI6. Pure coincidence isn't one of them.
No. But I liked her hair better in SF.
Poor poor Tanner...
That's conceivable, too. But then this opens another can of worms: Why would Moneypenny make a point of him having a secret and keeping it that way because he doesn't trust anyone? Oh, the possibilities, right?
Speaking of the Oberhauser photo, I noticed they found a way to digitize Craig's childhood face into the photo:
I am with you! Love her!
I don't think having 3 films(CR is a normal mission) dealing with a bit of Bond's personal life is too much.
This is more of a adding to Fleming's part.
Oberhauser was sort of a father figure to Bond, so that's part of the OP story..so..... I ain't mad with Waltz and Bond being sort of foster brothers or something like that..I like personal stories.. and besides can people stop with the Blofeld being Waltz theory ? We haven't seen the movie yet, and they can easily change many things until the movie premiere..
So the first 90 seconds of promotional footage focuses almost solely on the main plot twist of the film. That just doesn't make sense to me. Either they are so desperate to keep up with the competition that they felt the need to give away such a pivotal revelation, or something in this teaser is misdirection for the actual reveal i.e Oberhauser is a codename that Blofeld is using for some reason and there is no connection between him and bond.
Again we don't even know Waltz is Blofeld, but he fits the part in the teaser.
I was imagining something close to this teaser in my mind:
No action, just some dialogue but very dark and sombre.
- I was looking forward to seeing how Mr White will be looking in the film. I love him. He is a great actor. He really looks the part. Nobody does it better than Jesper.
- I love the opening scene of the teaser - the MI6 building in the sorry state from SF.
- I like Moneypenny's and Bond's dialogue, it is very dark and in someway intriguing. I liked Moneypenny's hair much more in SF.
- Bond in the apartment - the guardianship papers, that photo, everything is very dark and dangerous. It looks like Bond is starting to cry, brilliant acting.
- I think this movie will be driven entirely by Bond - just as Sam mentioned in his videoblog. He is completely right. SF was driven by M. This is truly going to be a movie about Bond.
- The cinematography of the lake in Austria is amazing, just amazing.
- When he crosses the porch towards the Austrian lodge it looks very threating from the outside and even more in the inside, the two black crows that come at Bond. Also in the chalet a great line from White: "You're a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr. Bond".
- The funeral scene looked great. It look's much better now edited than when we watched it been filmed. The cinematography is excellent once again. Monica is so beautiful and wonderful actress, I love her outfit she looks very dark from the outside = SPECTRE . I'm 99% that is Waltz's character having his back turned to Bond when Bond approaches the gathering at the funeral.
- They had to show the DB10 in the teaser of course, once again it looks amazing, that sound of the car!
-Bond's and White's dialogue is great, I think I will love that scene in the movie.
- Some of you will disagree but I love the new look of the SPECTRE ring
- I hope Newman was the composer of the music for the teaser. If he was the composer I will be very happy if we get something like that in the movie.
- I love Bond sneaking around on the upper floor at the SPECTRE meeting
- Waltz is great!!!! I love how they put Waltz's character into the shadow.
- The room in where it looks like the SPECTRE meeting is taking place, the set is fantastic. Dennis Gassner is a superstar for production design.
- I think that Waltz is sitting underneath Bond, we don't see Waltz at 01:14 when the camera crane's up. My thought on this. When we see the shot at 01:14 we don't see two men beside him as we see at 01:18. I think the man at the far end of the table at 01:14 is some another member of SPECTRE, maybe some kind of 2nd in Charge person or SPECTRE Number 2?
I think what people are reacting to is the "tortured soul" aspect of each of the DC films. I like that, but I can see how it may rub some fans the wrong way.
But EON and Sony decides what to put in the teaser and they choose it allude heavily that Waltz is playing Blofeld by showing him at the head seat of the table with a shadow covering his face. That is obviously a Blofeld tradition in the films. And in the same teaser they also allude to bond being in the tempory care of one oberhauser as a child, in a picture featuring a third unknown person.
Waltz was revealed to play Franz oberhauser at the title announcement, so he is most likely oberhausers son, the third person in the picture. Plus he says 'welcome James, it's been a long time' implying they know each other.
So Waltz is Blofeld and oberhauser. He either changes his name to Blofeld or he is using the oberhauser name as a cover for some reason.
I just want to add that this is only based on the teaser and official statements from EON, no leaks.
Awesome thanks!
It could very well be that "Oberhauser" is his real name, and "Blofeld" is the name he uses to run his vast empire, to maintain both a public (non-villainous) life, and his secret (highly villainous) life. It would be a nice change from Dominic Greene, who was damn near as public a villain as Drax or Stromburg, and somehow nobody noticed. After all, red flags would likely go off if he was at a charity event and somebody asked him, "What's your next endeavor?" and he answered with "Taking control of the world by way of counter-intelligence, terrorism, revenge and extortion."
