The Dec 1 script says the blackout is JUST at the CNS.
Going off slightly....I have a feeling what was being filmed yesterday at Horse Guards Parade was a new ending sequence probably replacing Bond breaking into Q's lab again where he gives Bond the DB5 keys. Tanner and Q in civvie outfits especially have me intrigued. I feel this is great because M/MP/Tanner really get left out after the Westminster Bridge sequence, so a coda like this with the team together with Bond/Swann would be nice. And I think they're making it less "final" as that script was, maybe M/MP/Tanner/Q recovering British intelligence after C's takeover.
Dr. Swann looks really windswept there!
That is interesting.
I wonder do Bond and Swann still drive off together?
Probably, as we did see London DB5 scenes filmed.
I wonder if Bond still tosses his gun in the river and quits?
Ah that makes more sense - I was just going off the daylight photos and turns out all the characters were involved are in the scene at night! So scratch what I said about the ending - this obviously replaces the barracks and looks like Tanner and Q will be more involved with the final act (while previously it was Bond, Swann, MP and M) - them arriving in civvies there (as MI6 has obviously been disbanded with C's takeover)
Thanks! Glad to be here!
And glad to hear about the blackout. I think we're seing a bit of a change to the ending - going by what was leaked (certainly a bit different from what I read) but in a great way. They really seem to be utilizing London in a way no other Bond has done so. Sam has a great eye for his films.
I'd be very surprised if that has gone. That moment seems to have been a constant throughout the development of this script and in many ways is what this film is about.
When did we see this? Pictures?
But I find Bond quiting or going rogue to be getting old.
I think tossing gun in river and seemingly quitting is unnecessary drama, but still we know he'll be back, so blah blah blah. I'll reserve judgement until the movie is released.
@swedenwith love. There are picture of the DB5 driving about in London, which seems to tie in with Bond and Swann driving off together at the end in the DB5.
Thanks to @slyfox and @antovolk
this helps a lot. It does seem, they are shooting the barracks scenes. I think that Dec 1st script is basically a lock, but for minor dialogue and scene tweaks.
That script is the story. I am quite confident of that.
I do too. It just doesn't make sense that they would have "to be continued" written all over both the Swann and Blofeld story lines, only to have to kill the entire set up because they are going to recast. It's not logical that they would try to slot another actor into the same continuing story line with Swann and Blofeld, and why else would they have these two critical continuing plot points, particularly with Swann, if they knew Craig was not going to do B25. The only possible fly in the ointment would be if SP really fails at the BO. Then all bets are off.
Oh well, this is a new story. I guess Dear Bond has had enough, again. Yawn.
But he'll be back, after Swann is blown away at start of B25, or maybe even end, but that would mean same Bond girl for two films. Can't have that.
Unless Bond dallies in between while on mission, ala Laz at Piz Gloria, and then returns to true love, Swanny, but Ernst and Bunt blow her away, just like Tracy,in another universe, and THEN, we get a modern telling of Fleming's YOLT.
Idle speculation though on my part.
But I am confident that Craig will come back to battle Blofeld in B25.
I understand your view, but I think that several things can have changed Bonds´life as a secret agent. On the one hand, old M´s video-mail mission leads Bond to disobey Mallory, which is coherent with previous movies. On the other hand, he meets Madeleine Swann, who is the first woman he loves since Vespers´death. In my opinion, the most important thing to make the plot believable is how good the Bond-Swann relationship is on screen. Mendes, Seydoux and Craig have a huge challenge, specially Sedoux, who must make the audience fell in love with her character. She is an excellent actress, Craig is quite good, too, and Mendes is amazing directing actors, so I trust the team.
^This. I think the majority of the script is very strong and could easily surpass Skyfall. That's even without the improvements made after filming began. Most people are concerned with the whole Blofeld/Oberhauser/foster brother subplot, but I don;t think they realize that that's not really the potentially worrying aspect of SPECTRE. The believability of Bond's decision to leave (and really the movie as a whole) is really going to hinge on how well his relationship with Madeleine is portrayed, and frankly, I'm not so sure that what was in the December draft is going to be good enough. If they kept it the way it is, then Craig and Seydoux are REALLY going to have to sell it.
I would love that really sets up the drama quite nicely don't you think
I agree that Craig and Seydoux will have to convince the audience that their relationship is believable. If we see sparks fly at the L'Americain then the chemistry is there. Léa and Daniel seem to get on really well on set so hopefully that will translate onto the screen.
