I would prefer edgier places. Norway seems like a step in the right direction but the rest of the locations mentioned seem uninspiring on the surface, but hopefully the make them seem dangerous.
Well said. Considering they spent so much on the car chase a real shame they couldn't stretch to a Rome location for the big spectre meet.
Exactly. "The Author of all your pain, oh wait you blew up my base and put me in prison, guess that's the end of that"? Hellllllllll, no!
I don't care about how much/ little sense it makes. Continuing this plotline is guaranteed to be bad.
The PM is going to have a field day with that one.
Agreed. It also didn't help that the so called car chase was absolute shit.
This is so true. Do you remember the BMW series of ads with Clive Owen?
Spectre meeting should have been at Castel St. Angelo
Indeed, the talent involved with that campaign was phenomenal.
Yeah, they were great!
That said, @talos7, have you seen the newest episode released a couple of years ago?
For those not familiar, check out the filmmakers involved.

The idea of having a car chase in Rome was brilliant. The execution however... Such a wasted opportunity!
Also don't be afraid to do a bit of greenscreen if needed now that you've got ILM on board.
And have maybe several cars pursuing Bond? This is basic stuff that the Mendes set pieces neglect. It thematically made sense in Skyfall, not so for Spectre.
Don't know, that was more of a reference to Spectre in hindsight
I think you’re right. Plus, they filmed in parts of Rome where they had to be careful. For that sequence, it seems that EON and Mendes thought more in terms of a location that was unique, instead of a location that would be practical.
A Dragon Tattoo nod with the actress would be phenomenal.....that was around the time when QoS was the prior Bond movie and Craig had set his stage for his 007 and was proving himself viable for carrying multiple franchises before Sony unnecessarily rebooted the series similar to how SF did to his Bond....NOT COOL!
All of this just redoubles my frustration with SP: it was a good enough film, but
a) given the money and talent, it could have been far better, and
b) it has painted EON into a hell of a corner.
If Seydoux is indeed to return (and to have some role in the story, or to mean something to Bond and us when she's killed off) they needed to have spent far more time in SP convincing us that she matters and that her relationship with Bond is meaningful. Re-watch OHMSS or CR if you need to see it done right. Instead we lavished time on the 9-eyes subplot or the Rome car chase or any number of other things, and none will mean much in B25.
I recall a similar thing happening last time with SP. Lea Seydoux’s name was leaked early in the summer of 2014 by Schomes Knows and then Baz confirmed in October 2014. We all thought that Seydoux was the secondary Bond girl – however, we had a very dry news spell leading up to the press conference.
The day before the conference, it leaked that Monica Bellucci had a smaller role as a Bond girl. Which meant Seydoux was, in all along, the leading lady. This was confirmed the following day by Sam Mendes at Pinewood.
Perhaps, the lack of news confirms that Lea Seydoux plays a much larger role in the film?…..Food for thought.
I like Lea Seydoux’s performance in SP a lot – but, need some convincing that she deserves a reprise.
Here are some recent photos from last week at Paris Fashion Week 2019 – which Fukunaga also attended:
The dark hair will immediately make every one say she's the villain...
Indeed till this day i believe that she is playing a Villian which would make sense of her and bond having a bad chemistry. Although lack of news could also means EON is finally at the top of their game again.
As usual, I'm more concerned by the news that we actually do hear.
And secret agent James Bond was clueless for five years, half a decade, before she reveals herself to him?
Uh...
