This is extremely reassuring. Thank you for putting my needless worries (which reappeared once I heard her voice in the trailer) to rest once and for all.
In FRWL, Blofeld demonstrates the strategy of SPECTRE with two fighting fish. He explains how he pits the two groups against each other until one is the victor, but weakened by battle. Then the now-weakened group is easier to overcome, and he feeds the victorious fish to his cat.
We know SPECTRE will feature a struggling MI6 being taken over by MI5, headed by the questionable C. Is it perhaps a SPECTRE plot to take out MI6, and in the process distract and even weaken MI5 and British Defense to make it easier for the "master plan"?

Or maybe they added a scene after the restaurant scene.
They are touting the arrival of principal cast including Monica Bellucci, Léa Seydoux and Christoph Waltz.
huh?!?what is Monica Belucci doing in Morroco? has her character been changed back to Irma Bunt 1.0?
Things change. Filmmaking is not stuck in stone, a production is, sometimes, far more fluid than many people might think.
Remember: Bautista, Waltz and Co. were in Mexico, too. But just for the press.
For instance, I think no one outside this thread realizes yet the MI6 building will feature in SPECTRE in such an important way (if the script is filmed as it is), that's it's not shown just once for the sake of continuity with SF. And I really wonder if they'll show part of this last act in the promotion before the release. I think that for the needs of a trailer, this last act is so inferior to other action scenes, that it won't be used, and that it may stay a surprise until the very end.
Also, the "George Orwell theme" is not hinted anywhere yet. It's all over the script, but it's nowhere to be found in the promotion material yet. And I think it's so touchy (in particular in the UK if I understand well), that it may not be used at all in the future promotion material.
Mmm... very strange. I haven't got a clue, where it is and what scene it is.
@Zekidk I thought of that too
I don't mean homophobic at all but does Mendes and Craig not realize that Bond himself is largely homophobic? ..not making any judgement nor trying to sound homophobic or whatever ...but is there any fear that lines like that will alienate Bond's traditional audience?
Where abouts is the qt line anyway? I don't remember it.
Britain of the 1950s was a largely homophobic world and parts of Fleming's writing reflects that. The Bond films are set in the here and now, it would be very odd if Bond held nasty attitudes that were only conventional in a time from well before he was born.
There are instances of revolting racism too in the books, I don't think Bond of the films should indulge in that either.
True and I agree. I really don't want to give the wrong impression ...
Thanks
In the October script, Moneypenny goes investigating in the basement of the old MI6 building at Vauxhall Cross whilst Bond is out of the country. This new clapper board photo looks very like the way the basement there is described in the December script, when Bond is there at the end. I'd say that this might show that the Moneypenny scene has returned to the film.
