    I think I might just ignore this new stuff. There's too many possibilities to try and make sense of it. I'll join the conversation again when we've got something newer :)

    It’s obvious that the main reason everyone here is in love with the PTS written by @Univex is that
    people here are terrified of a “Bond has a child” scenario. I am really hoping that this child is either Bond’s daughter or the very least his companion in the movie. You will refuse to believe it until the very end but everything points towards one direction: that Bond 25 will be a radically different Bond film. Buckle up, folks!

    oh you never fail to amuse me

    I think the idea of an African Warlord Blofeld is better than than the one we got in SPECTRE

    I think in terms of badness, it's down there with making Dracula Judas in Dracula 2000. With all its flaws I prefer and by far the Blofeld we had in SP.

    We had an African warlord of sorts in CR anyway.
    I'm going to ignore these rumours for now,its making me concerned.

    And your posts always point towards one direction @PanchitoPistoles. It's so obvious that you also think it's a bad idea, but you just want this film to be bad so that you can be all high and mighty, and say "DANNY BOYLE WAS A BETTER CHOICE. GOODBYE BABS!" from the rooftops.

    A real shame really, considering you're meant to be a fan of the series and you'd rather everyone hated the new film so that you can be "right". Stop putting personal glory before your faith in a franchise you obviously care about, otherwise you wouldn't be here.

    I actually love this idea. This franchise has done everything. It make sense to do something inventive and new. Something in this direction promises to reveal more about the Bond character. It’ll show new facets to him previously unexplored.

    Purists will naturally rebel against it. But I’m very interested.
    I don't think thats happening. Interesting concept, but Logan was based off of source material. James Bond has never or will ever deal with children.

    Why is everyone assuming it’s a flashback? It’s far more likely that a child will be part of the present day story.

    Mod Edit: Please use spoiler tags
    And I can't give this any merit, seeing as this is just because you want Eon to be wrong, and Boyle to be right.

    Also I must add my opinion...
    This sounds crap. It's very rare that flashbacks work for me, unless they are told right at the beginning, but are we really going to give the pre-title sequence to a child? I'm just hoping there's been some translation confusion and by "child" they mean "girl" and it's just an action scene with Madeleine Swann or another Bond girl.

    Re. the translation confusion:
    The Nettavisen article (referring to the original Romerikes Blad article) quotes one of the scenes as «jente løper på snø og islagt vann» – which translates as "Girl runs on (through) snow and ice covered water."

    However, the scene is described below with a second quote (in English): «A child shoots an intruder. She is chased by a 2nd intruder and runs onto a frozen lake.»

    My guess is (as they are quoting in English) that the description is from the script or synopsis, and that it is indeed a child which is chased.

    Too bad the original article is behind a paywall. Don't know if there's more information in that one.

    What's the betting on Malik playing Blofeld's son out for revenge?

    A son of Blofeld would be an option.

    In the novel "For Special Service" of 1982, written by John Gardner, Nena Bismaquer is introduced as the daughter of Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

    Yea I absolutely hate the idea. Chills ran up my spine when I read it. If true it would far surpass my expectations of the worst eon could possibly do for a bond film. Like this is an unimaginably bad idea, up there with brother gate and bond surfing in dad. There is zero chance that this could be anything but terrible. Have zero interest in any exploration of any plot point from spectre. Basically the only watchable parts of spectre are the pts, Q scene, Lucia scenes, spectre meeting, mr white scene, Austria action scene, and the train fight. Also, if waltz is in the film I will expect it to be bad. Basically anything, African warlord, woman, etc would be better than the performance we got. I prefer Charles gray’s blofeld over waltz’s (which is saying a lot). At least Grey’s had some personality. Also, to respond to @Denbigh, I’m a fan of the bond series, I’m not a fan of spectre. I’ll be going into bond 25 with the mindset that spectre was bad, and that this film should distance itself from it. As much as I love craig’s bond and am not ready to move on, if Craig necessarily comes with continuing the plot of spectre (don’t understand why), and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I would prefer a new actor. I say this despite how disappointed I would be if spectre ended the Craig era.

    Just a thought haha :D

    I think it's purely based on desire for this to not be true... which it almost definitely is, I'm guessing.

    Calm down. I honestly 100% believe that this idea could be executed brilliantly.
    I also happen to prefer a radically different Bond film involving a child to a run off the mill Bond on a mission Bond film.

    We'll probably get to know more details the coming days and weeks (will be keeping an eye on every Norwegian article that pops up).

    I don't care much for this either…
    …as the location seems very uninspiring (you'll find locations like this anywhere where there's a lake forrest and snow) – and secondly because I don't feel like children belong in Bond – at all. I'm really not interested in watching that.

    really if they just went with an unknown figure and just reveled to be blofeld no brother stuff nothing would have been fine they made it too obvious a no surprise when we already knew who it was would have been better then to come out with a story to make it a surprise better if spectre had no surprises because they made it obvious enough

    Yeah, I totally agree...
    ... and if it is a Madeleine Swann "flashback" to give us more of a backstory to why she would leave, is there really much point? Why give a whole sequence to a character whose not even going to make it past the first 15 minutes of the film? Then again, I also don't like the idea of Bond having a child with him like Logan, so I'm kind of stuck between two ideas I don't like here. It'll just be another film I'll have to personally retcon, unless it ends up being the best Bond film I've ever seen.

    Definitely agree on all points. We don't know how this ties into the plot yet, but any of these scenarios are scenarios I really, really don't want to see. If they go down the Logan route, I wonder if I'll bother watching the film in the theatre at all…

    Madeleine will be very much alive at the end of Bond 25.

    Could this be a flashback when Madeleine shoots the intruder? If true that is.

    I feel like it’s got to be the scene Madeleine fends off the intruder that she talks about in SP.

    I don’t know. Why would we need to see Madeleine again at all? Let’s wait for the entire plot. I’m just guessing anyway.

    and more people touting this I was told by someone who I think is correct that this is not the title and no one but the producers (Wilson Babs Craig and family) and the director know what title they will use.
