I tried to wrap my mind around, what he said in the show and what he said could also be seen as an offer from his side to EON.
Or not bother explaining at all. That's the Bond way of old!
"Briefly explain" is also unnecessary. Come 2019, the general audiences will have mostly forgotten who Madeleine Swann was. Drop her and pick up a new actress and begin anew like they do for every single installment.
Spot on...totally agree.
It's the way it used to be indeed.
Well said,Sir !
Except Craig's Bonds are not the Bonds of old.
Black screen, white dot traverses,music swells. Last dot fills screen, image and sound of a shower, steam and running water down a glass shower screen. Out of focus a man's head and torso can be seen.
A woman's voice off screen: 'Hurry up James, you'll be late for M's funeral.'
Extreme close up: Bond. 'Is that you MonneyPenny?'
Penny: 'Yes, James now hurry up'
Bond: 'What happened to Blofeld?'
Penny: 'Who?' Quickly James we don't have much time.'
Bond to camera; 'Just a dream…SPECTRE was just a dream' Noise of shower segues into title music…
As I said earlier, his contradictory morning comments yesterday were very plausible too and he went out of his way to explain himself consistently on not one, but two radio shows.
What surprised me is his comment about being raring to go. The film release is two full years away!
Also his statement about going out 'on a high'. I wonder if he's been reading these boards?
Truer words have rarely been spoken!
If you take that to the letter then that means that Moore,Dalton and Brosnan are not the Bonds of old either.
Only Connery would the EON Bond of old ,n'est pas ?
Moore, Dalton, Brosnan, they all followed the same broad template - standalone adventures with the odd supporting characters popping up here and there. Craig's films have taken a different approach.
Still doesn't mean she has to be mentioned or seen.
Although I'm sure she will be..just mentioned hopefully.
Will they jump straight into another Bond adventure and assume he never left the service, or will we get something villainous happening, and M saying "we need Bond, get him back".
Which sounds cool to me.
It's also worth noting that those films make an effort to reinforce a through line in Tracy. TSWLM, FYEO and LTK reference her and, while it's more subtle, the moment in TWINE where Elektra asks Brosnan if he's lost someone he loved, his reaction speaks volumes.
DC is Bond but viewed through a different prism. His lost love is Vesper, not Tracy and his timeline is self contained, inter-connected and specific to him (Mendes fanwankery not withstanding).
No, but I can't see Eon changing their approach to the Craig films for his final one, so I bet the writers include her in some way, whether she appears or is just mentioned. Of course, after a few drafts, she might well disappear completely. But if Blofeld is back, and I think he will be, then the odds seem higher she will have some kind of role in the story.
Would be great to have a non-Bond PTS that showcases a villain enacting an early part of his plan, causing some level of deaths/destruction, which causes M to require Bond and have him return post-PTS.
Strangely though, we have White as a Draco like crime figure with his daughter being a pseudo stand-in for Tracy. I wish they hadn't added that bit but it is what it is.
I wouldn't be opposed, but the PTS have become monsters of their own and to have one without Bond and a huge stunt isn't likely. CR's was the closest we'll likely to ever have one like LALD or TMWTGG again.
If it's Daniel's last Bond film then he has to be in the PTS.
If he is doing Bond26 as part of a 2 film deal then i'm all for it !!
I find it tactless and offensive when actors slag off the previous film, even in a subtle way. There were many people who enjoyed SPECTRE, and Craig should recognize that.
But didn't a previous Bond actor who shall remain nameless do just that during his tenure?
Given their way of trying to (re)introduce Fleming's elements in the latest movies I wouldn't be surprised.
One of the problems with Spectre was the villain wasn't established - we simply didn't see any villainy! So yes, a none Bond pre-credit, showing us a horrible bad-bastard, and the PM saying to M "there's no other way... get Bond back, we need him".
Too corny?
That is all in your mind.
Better than an underdeveloped villain. I'll take a non-Bond PTS that sheds a little backstory on it all.
That is what Michael Wilson said, but I think he was mistaken. They still have different distributors for different films. BTW, MGM's partner for its Death Wish remake is Annapurna. (Referenced on yesterday's investor call.) I wouldn't read more into it, given that Warner Bros. has also distributed some MGM films.
I don't like this constant 'we need Bond back' comments in the films.
Is the rest of the '00' section shit then ?
Whats the point if none of them are good enough for anything ?
(Apart from Trevelyn,006, back in 1995 ,who WAS Bond's equal).
Don't see how he was slagging off the previous film - he merely said he wants his last Bond film to be a good one.
