Back on topic please, you trouble maker. :)
That is what people usually do when it comes to franchise films.
I only noticed it with QoS. People had no problem saying SKYFALL, Spectre etc.
Re the female protege rumor, I find it difficult to imagine anything not resembling a Father-daughter relationship, with some incestuous thoughts mixed in, since Bond for sure will feel like a man next to her. It feels again like a distraction from the Absence of a terrific villain plot.
But I may very well just have a blunt Imagination.
It's impossible to "literally" polish dialogue. How would that work exactly? They break out a can of polish and rub it on the script?
Does anyone remember this rumour from last summer?http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2017/8/21/The-Dartz-Black-Alligator-Will-Be-The-Next-James-Bond-Villain-s-Badass-Ride-7740698/
Just thought they may be related as we have likely returned to the P&W treatment for Bond25.
I question this persons legitimacy as if I remember correctly he posted a while back about a new Aston being developed for B25 but used a picture of a Miata
He's been posting B25 "updates" across all of his social channels since last year:
The truth is there's never really just a dialogue polish because action and words go hand in hand in screenplays, so inevitably, changing or sharpening up dialogue often requires or introduces some change to stage directions or the shape of a scene, and that can also have a knock on effect with following scenes etc.. The term generally used is a set of revisions, and revisions can continue all the way through production, sometimes right up to the very last day of filming.
Wonder how many people will read this (again) and immediately dismiss it because it undermines the black and white argument that is the lifeblood of this thread. I’ve given up believing people care about the nuances of screenwriting. They’d rather put on the ear muffs and scream.
One time, I watched CR with the screenplay in front of me. It was very illuminating: Green tended to repeat the dialogue exactly as written and Craig was more improvisational.
Not to mention they were written as much more interesting characters than they are nowadays.
I disagree, he was a great villain in OHMSS.
Love Telly's Blofeld - the best by miles.
Agreed. Savalas was menacing, and I can't say that for Pleasance, Gray, or Waltz. A lot of credit is also due to the script (and score). I wish they had brought back Simon Raven for DAF, LALD, etc. He and Maibaum were a wonderful pairing.
Easily..none of the others even came close.
Shame he outpriced himself for DAF.
Telly Blofeld was written and played very well.
If Gray was playing that character under a different name,not as Blofeld,I think that would have raised the bar more,for me anyway.
Agreed. It would've benefited from using a different character/name. Then again, DAF is a cheese-fest it would have to be completely scrapped and rewritten for it to look like a genuine James Bond thriller.
Telly's portrayal would have worked in the lighter DAF with Connery and St. John, and the continuity would have been nice. He was an underrated actor.
In my opinion, only two actors could've played that Blofeld with a face.
Peter Wyngarde or Christopher Lee.
Never liked him as Mr. Freeze, but he was certainly a villain in real life!
What about Peter Cushing?
