Couldn’t have possibly been an “overhaul” like the Playlist suggested, right?
Of course not.
All good news today.
“Fukunaga turned in his recent draft at the beginning of the year, and while reports surfaced that major rewrite work was done to the script, sources say no significant changes were made, and the producers and Craig were excited with what Fukunaga had delivered.”
Burns is goin to shape the definitive script.
Now that's the truth.
Yes.
And - speaking from my own experience - just about anyone involved in a commercial creative endeavor is probably tempted to want to tinker and refine right up until the last possible second they can.
So, Burns coming in could simply be a reflection that Fukunaga's needed elsewhere and wasn't able to give the time he wanted to script refinements at this stage -- and if you have to bring someone in to help you with the load, why not turn to one of the best in the business.
Exactly. Even Fukunaga would want that. All and all, this could turn out one of the best scripts in the series, in many ways. Who knows? Here's hoping.
@TripAces already said
@TripAces already said I wouldn't mind keeping close to vest just at least tell us what is going on
@boldfinger ok I know
why wouldn't they just bring back leiter then a guy who can do comedy relief and has malek done a villian role im not just hyped to have him off a oscar win waltz won an oscar too and look how Blofeld turn out im just cautiously optimistic
sounds like it
Shatterhand seems too good a title not to use. Yes, it's a third Bond film with the letter S but who cares!
Malek could be playing rich industrialist Sigmund Shatterhand!
ok
back about malek just because he won an oscar and is hot property right now doesn't mean he be good for a bond villian look at waltz in spectre everyone was excited about him and look at how that turned out has malek played a villian role before does anyone know and how was he? like i said excited but cautiously

I own two movies with her on BD and she is not that fames.
You're correct, sir. But when one is given the assignment for an "overhaul", it usually means a page one re-write. However, and to the point...--
Recently I was accused of "being quiet".
As I said at the time, I was far from quiet. I was in constant communications with posters that actually like Bond and I continued chatting about the little morsels I knew. None of what I have reported is a lie-- a release date may have changed, but I, and others, were not lying about what we knew, lol!
Ten days, or more ago, I posted to readers that the "overhaul" that was reported in the PL article (and made me lose my shit), was exaggerated.
I reported to those that care to read my nonsense, that the script was only being "polished with the same story, same characters that was there in the previous drafts" (when I heard this, I went to a trusted source on this site, and he knocked this point home).
I stand by these claims that I stated over a week ago. I suppose variety gives a little more insight.
Others who I chatted with-- ten or more days ago-- will agree to this too: I said there was no overhaul. It was a polish (and smarter people than me on this site, knew that too (they knew coz they r smart; me dummy)).
The only thing I was not privy to at the time was that the draft we were talking about came from CF himself (holy. and. shit!!)
Continuing on this point, I was disturbed to hear that my/or other sources could be validated if, blah, blah, blah, and all I have to say to that, respectfully, is this: no one is lying to us. I can't speak for others, but I believe those (outside of the internet scavengers), have legit information. But--
Information in the film world changes moment by moment (a small sample: Bombay (I think), was locked for the PTS for SF; that changed to Istanbul in a blink.
Bombay was locked, until it wasn't, and things moved to Istanbul for (I think), better tax incentives).
@PanchitoPistoles, you say my "source(s)" can be validated if Jamaica holds up. Uh... okay. But, I said more (and I suppose, risk your wrath):
We should see how much has changed in the scripts from my reporting on this site, to the date now-- but I can assure you that anyone in production will report B25 was:
#1 In Jamaica for scouting, led by Gregg Wilson (and he stayed at Ian Fleming's GoldenEye while he was there)(as a secondary source, he may have been there with second unit).
#2: Cadiz or Matera Italy will stand in for Tuninsia (or maybe Greece? which I didn't hear about???, but Tuninsia (or another Middle east city, but I heard the Big T), unless exorcised by Burns)
#3: Malek agreed to being in B25 BEFORE Oscar night (what is happening now is crossing "t"s and "I"s)
#4 as I have said since Day 1: I believe Norway will happen, but I didn't hear about Norway from my "sources" until the past week. Repeat, I admit, I never heard about Norway, unless from this site (therefore admitting shortcomings, lol);
#5: although Variety reported March 4 as the start date, I never said that was the date-- I said March 2019... And, shit, I will still say that shooting will happen in March 2019 (if not, shoot me on this).
EDIT:
#6: this dummy speculated (from ppl closer than me), that Boyle was fired; that he wanted to change the "culture of Bond. This has been documented long enough from me...
Things change on a film set. But this is what I know.
None of these things are a lie.
I'm not saying this to call anyone out. Let's be adults, and collaborate together. This is the reason why schools force group projects on us from a young age.
Let's honour those pointless assignments.
