All shall be revealed in time. ;)
No and yes there was in the October version but not in the December one.
No they're not. Going by that logic most actors, directors, and key grips names written properly should be all caps as well.
No, they are not. Take a look at IMDB. Or at this page: http://oscar.go.com/nominees Or dozens of other trustworthy movie sites.

What I like is that it still feels very Bondian without dipping into the generic Brozzer-style morass where Arnold HAD to apply the theme just to remind us what kind of film we're watching. I don't like his scores all that much but he was in a difficult position and lacked the talent that Barry had to calmly absorb whatever was on-screen and elevate it.

As long as this thread can remain cause everyone who knows about the leaks will just have to suffer in silence and more people will probably post spoilers on the threads that don't allude to the leaked material because they have nowhere else to post them or discuss them.
I am sure we can still discuss the leaked plot line in this thread only otherwise this thread would have been closed a long time ago.
I could do without a couple things towards the end, however. The whole “Bond and Blofeld being foster brothers” is actually done pretty well – so well that they almost pull it off convincingly – but the fact remains that the head of the biggest criminal organization in the world being the foster brother of the MI6 agent trying to take it down is a coincidence of epic and utterly unbelievable proportions. It’s just impossible. It’s meant to lend some more layers to Bond’s past and, in turn, his psyche, but it ultimately just doesn’t work.
Also, I’m not thrilled with the whole “Bond saying his gun in the river and saying he doesn’t need it anymore” moment. In Skyfall, we finally set the pieces up for Bond to actually be the Bond we know and love, and now one movie later it seems like he’s retiring again. Maybe he’s not but that is certainly the vibe I’m getting. So it just seems like we’re throwing all the Skyfall setup out the window.
All in all, though, I’m in love with about 95% of this script. If done well, it might even top Skyfall (which is quite a feat, in my eyes).
Third act starts when they are picked up at the deserted train station, IMO.
I've only read the early stages of the Dec 1st draft (its a lot of reading ;) ) but I have read the shooting outline twice.
Great summary above. Yes there is quite a lot to like. It does seem that we might get that classic Bond danger-fantasy-excitement-humour mix back in a big way.
Agree, the foster brother angle seems entirely unnecessary, but it does seem that with the latest draft (the Dec 1st one that we are all discussing) that the personal drama angle is being kept in check, and not overplayed.
The gun in the river thing; yes agreed, there is danger-Will Robinson here, but again it does seem the any soppy drama may also be under control here too.
What I am encouraged by is that Bond does seem to have his mojo intact from start to finish.
This could be a great Bond film.
I think Eon has been listening, ie time to get back to good Bond-on-mission adventure.
I can thus allow some dramatic indulgences, as long as they don't take over the film, and I honestly and truly don't think that is going to be a big danger with this film.
We shall see, and I am as cynical as anyone, when it comes to the personal drama overkill in the Craig-era.
Amazing how a change from a room full of photos to one photo can make a difference.
They are no step brothers.
Blofeld was adopted by Hannes Oberhauser, when he was a child, and that's why his new name is Franz Oberhauser.
Bond never was adopted by Oberhauser. He was just there (maybe on summer vacation), and didn't even have much to do with Oberhauser. He remembers him, but they were not best buddies or something like that.
So for Bond this is no big thing in the Script.
Well, if Nolan was helming this one, Caine may well have been the daddy. Thank Christ for small mercies.
I did joke about that a few pages earlier. Have Michael Caine as Andrew Bond pop up and say It's okay Ernsty. :))
the third act clearly starts on their return to London.
Act 3 is traditionally the shortest act of any story, as it really houses the resolution and conclusion to the story.... all of this happens once they return to London in the script.
ACT 1 - PTS thru the scene of Bond at his flat.
ACT 2 - Rome thru Escaping Oberhauser's Lair
ACT 3 - London thru end of the film.
Which would probably support haserot's argument.
