I think it's just him doing some crosswords and joking about the explosive pen from Goldeneye and quote by Q in Skyfall...
This is still listed on the Regal website. I hope they do this. I would pay a pretty penny to see a marathon in the theaters.
Thanks Contraband. Those are some very tantalizing details about that chase scene. Everything I hear about it gets me more and more excited. Sounds like it will be very cinematic.
Yes. The one good thing about the delay to October is that I will be more likely to do it.
:))
He showed such promise there, made you think he'd be fantastic in SP yet like the cast he was shackled with a terrible script and plot.
His dullness is down to what he was handed not him as an actor or the idea of him being M.
Not Fiennes fault, I already get the vibe from the trailers he is much better, I think that will the case for everyone, just look at Waltz, already better and this is just the trailer.
That being said and @peter and I discussed this earlier today and although I initially said I would like him back, he mentioned the self contained element and that for us DC fans we'd crave for his
Bond again.
So possibly best they clean house. @peter mentioned that they went with Dench again as DC was pretty much unknown and somewhat of a gamble.
Although one that paid off in spades and totally re-established Bond (despite haters personal views) for the 21st century.
That being said, I feel they'll want another fairly celebrated British thesp for the role, I think it is unlikely you'll see another M as confined to the desk as the wonderful Bernard Lee was for sometime or if at all.
They can tackle a new era without making it personal and introducing Bond as more of a seasoned agent, it is just I think that M will be more than just the guy who sends Bond off on his missions and will feature more prominently.
Or maybe he could now be Sir Miles, as a new character in a reboot? It isn’t fair to Ralph Fiennes, if Judi Dench got the chance to come back, and that was only because of Martin Campbell.
In all reality, the contractual agreements matter more than the fanbase wanting to kick him out because they want a clean slate.
Inclusions of interest: Dry Martini, Mojito, and a couple of drinks that contain Tabasco.
I am still amazed at certain details: how many of these menus were printed...and how much of the fine print will ever be seen? I love it.
And if you want one, it's going to cost a pretty penny: https://www.ebay.com/itm/No-Time-To-Die-Prop-Drinks-Menu-James-Bond-007-Rare/224333629792?hash=item343b538960:g:wdwAAOSw~tFgFUZU
And still it doesn't matter if Fiennes continues to play M in Bond 26.
They can make a story-telling cut after NTTD, but still keep Fiennes, Harris and Wishaw.
Absolutely @jake24 ...
This is true but we don't know if next Era will have continual arc or not. Personally, i would like Fiennes to return.
The whole point is that if the Craig era is so different, then why use Dench? She was from the Brosnan era.
Fiennes could also return from the Craig era to a new Bond era.
Doesn't make a lot of sense in what way? There is no continuity between any of the Bond films, until the Craig era. Dench portrayed a great M in some Bond films, why not let her continue to portray M well in some more Bond films?
I understand that the Craig era is different in that the films are interconnected, but in the grand scheme of things these Bond films are all individual Bond stories, and I still say the same goes for Fiennes (and Harris) as it did for Dench; they portray their characters well, they're not inextricably linked to Daniel Craig in any way, why not let them continue to portray their characters?
As a remake of "the Man from U.N.C.L.E." Cameron didn't do a half bad job with the material.
That's what many fans don't get in my opinion.
The character of M in CR (played by Judi Dench) has not gone through any of the adventures the character M had in previous films.
To make it even more clear: M (played by Judi Dench) in TWINE might not have experienced the GE-story.
Every Bondfilm is a world of its own.
There can be a link to a scene from a previous Bondfilm, but even when Bond visits Tracy's grave in FYEO, it doesn't mean, that Bond in FYEO had experienced the Tracy-story like Bond in OHMSS did.
In the FYEO-universe-past the Tracy/Blofeld-story could have been a little different than in the OHMSS-universe.
There is only one truth: and that's the truth, that the Bondfilm, that you watch, tells you.
So in NTTD there could be a reference to Goldfinger. That would mean, that Bond solved the Goldfinger-case in the past. But that doesn't mean, that this was in 1964 or at any other specific date.
So Fiennes can play M in Bond 26, and that would not mean, that it is a sequel to NTTD.
The same M, Moneypenny and Q will remain after Craig's tenure, I'm fairly sure. This has been a trend going right back to the very beginning, regardless of who is playing Bond.
The same team oversaw various Bonds throughout the entire franchise. The original M, MP and Q survived Connery, Lazenby and Moore. Q went even further, and survived Dalton and Brosnan, and M would have done too, had Bernard Lee not passed away. Instead the newer M survived Moore and Dalton.
And of course the more modern M sat through both the Brosnan and Craig eras, regardless of the reboot.
