    Agreed @ClarkDevlin ; Walz was quite uninspired in the role. I find it hard to watch him in the role and, as I’ve said many times, I wish White was Blofeld (without any of the childhood relationship nonsense).

    However, a new director, a strong vision, and make it count— go out with a bang.

    It makes some sense for Mr White to have being Blofeld - then you would have had the mysetrious in the background figure thing, and his name - white - or blank - is filled in with Blofeld. But if I had that at the beginning I would have written his part slightly differently - his role in QoS would have had to change dramatically.

    Calm down, mate. Just speculating. But Waltz seems to be discussing a film many people have seen, and that isn't 3 Musketeers or Green Hornet which died without trace. And he and Mendes clashed on SP, so it's a reasonable speculation, but only that.

    There's a Green Hornet film – with Waltz?!

    Yes, Waltz is the villain. He is quite good in it.

    Never heard of it, haha!

    I wouldn't bother with it,even with Waltz in it.

    Oh, so THAT'S why you don't want to believe Waltz was talkig about him! Sorry to burst your bubble, Colonel, he very likely was. Paul WS Anderson is one of the worst Hollywood directors ever according to pretty much everyone on the planet.

    Is it more of a comedy than anything? See Seth Rogen plays the title role..

    It tries to be a superhero film and fails on all levels,and its damn boring as well.

    I bought The Green Hornet on dvd though it was dirt cheap in a bargain bin for good reason, Waltz was better in Gilliam's Zero Theorem

    Craig and Mendes apparently clashed creatively during Spectre to the point where their relationship disintegrated. Mendes was very quick after Spectre to say no more, and whatever happened on Spectre left a bad taste in Craig's mouth. I wonder if Waltz is referring to Mendes.

    I think he is. It's also been reported Waltz clashed with Mendes as well.
    ARE YOU KIDDING ME? There is no way, I repeat, no way Waltz was talking about Mendes. Sure, Spectre's pre-production and production was nowhere near the smoothest ever, but it's simply impossible any actor would describe a director as talented as Mendes with the words "I was baffled about the ignorance on every level". He was probably talking about the director of something completely awful he acted in such as The Three Musketeers or the Green Hornet.

    Has to be Mendes.
    Why? Because you want to believe it? Hint: he wasn't talking about Mendes. He was very likely talking about Paul W.S. Anderson, director of The Three Musketeers.

    I would wager, that our guesses are as good as yours.

    So why should Waltz be surprised about him being incompetent? Just for once try some logic and not just stubborn childishness.

    I loved the wardrobe of Spectre!
    Very classic feeling. Does anyone have screen shots of Casino royales website that had the dossier on Craig? I swear it said he was a naval commander and had all kinds of info on his Bond?

    Claiming that Waltz might have talked about Mendes when he said those words is not simply a guess, it's a sheer display of ignorance.

    Seriously? He said "the movie where I was baffled about the ignorance on every level." You can know about how bad a director is and still be baffled about how truly bad he actually is when you work with him. (Next time try some logic . You know, just once.)

    Sounds like an apt description, if you ask me.

    Ho ho. Amusing to hear Waltz getting stuck into Mendes.

    I think an Oscar and two BO smash Bond movies suggest otherwise but still entertaining.

    Glad I wasn't the only one that heartily enjoyed The Zero Theorem. Felt like Gilliam diving back into the world of his classic Brazil once more.

    How old is DC's Bond supposed to be? Is it a set age, (born '68, I believe?), or do we just roll with whatever DC's actual age is?

    Daniel Craig's version of James Bond was born on Saturday April 13th 1968. So James Bond will be 51 years old. By the way this Bond was born in Berlin, Germany (West-Berlin probably at the time?)::

    Timothy Dalton's version of James Bond was born on Wednesday November 10th 1948. So James Bond will be celebrating his 71st birthday when Bond #25 premieres :-D! By the way, this Bond was born in London:

    No, I don't think so. Even Craig's Bond's alias John Bryce, which he used for his work during the events of "Skyfall" in China in 2012, still mentions a birth year of 2012. So I don't know where you have that information that Craig's Bond is now suddenly born in 1971. To me he still is born in 1968:

    Yes, but please show me his 'updated passport' then. I can't remember such items were made for SP.

    It is somewhere on these boards. Maybe it was the papers concerning the guardianship, not sure.

    Did they show his passport in Spectre? I cant remember. All I remember was his guardianship documents showing the date the guardianship became effective and what his age was at that time. Whatever the numbers were, they implied he was born in ~1971.

    As of SP, Craig's Bond was born in '71. I believe this is revealed through the "Order of Temporary Guardianship" document.

    Hmmm, perhaps. But we also know that guardianship documents are never official replacements for passports or identity cards. They can't be used as official identity papers. As a matter of fact, from a legal perspective, we actually should still reason that Craig was born in 1968

    Bond's Spectre passport says he was born in November 1972 at Glencoe.

    EDIT: it might actually be his SF passport, one or the other. But it's Bond's own passport, not Bryce. Born 11 Nov, 1972.

    There's another passport for the Omega presentation earlier this year; it said Bond was born in '71. It's somewhere on these threads.

    someone in that twitter account thread:

    ... noticed that DC-Bond's birthdate (as seen in the passport), is now 1972, which would make this agent 44-45...

    ... So if DC did return, the actor is 49, but the character (and DC's a good athlete/lifter; he'll be able to get back into top-form), will only be mid-40s...

    ... That's a thing that makes me go "hmmm..."
    Found @peter's post. It appears Bond is born in 1972, somehow?

    I like to see Craig wearing stuff, that his immediate predecessors didn't wear before (I don't mind Humphrey Bogart though ;-) )...and that reflects the current fashion trends. Craig's winter wardrobe in Austria was marvellous.
    Craig looked awesome striding up the alp to the clinic, @Gustav_Graves. Looked seven feet tall on screen. And all business.
