My fear as well.
If, and it's a big IF, cloning is part of the plot, then, as I suggested in an early post, using the innocent child of a seasoned Spectre operative, Mr. White, makes sense for secret and illegal experimentation and controlled research. (Blofeld used normal girls from around the world for his plan in OHMSS.) I simply feel the young girl in the ice-lake house has significant meaning, hence why Malek's character seems to zero in on her.
+1
Can someone point to some thing of his that would fit in a Bond movie? From what I can read he is more of a synth man using quirky sounds, than an orchestra man.
It would be very Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
To the extend that cloning would involved fully grown humans it is pure scifi, not science facts.
I can get on board with it, but I can't help but feel disappointed that they didn't go with Arnold, or better yet a new guy like with a Bondian energy like Hurwitz or Giacchino.
I doubt, if cloning is in the mix, anyone will be comparing Bond with Jurassic Park; FK; but we do know there is a young girl who has been cast to resemble Swann, and the flashback theory might (re; the Norway shoot) be out, and I do not think the girl is her secret daughter; if she was, it seems a contrivance that such a child would pop up 5 years after SP. That would mean Swann abandoned her young daughter (with guardians?) and went off to work in a clinic and then went off with Bond. Don't think I buy that.
Sure, she was a convenient source of DNA for experimentation.
And after the codename theory, are we going to have the clone name theory?
My pleasure. Interesting choice. Sad for Arnold, anyway...
Not buying it.
You remember Dolly the Sheep? Cutting edge, and, in the case of human cloning, illegal experiments, which can go badly wrong, would have to use controlled (and secret) subjects. Of course we are speculating -- but, based on the big question, who is the young girl and why did they cast someone to resemble a young Swann, we have to wonder what that means. Agreed?
It’s not the cloning that is the issue. It is cloning Madeleine, of all people, that makes no sense.
We might be overthinking this and making the mistake of assuming the kidnapped scientist is associated with the “dangerous technology.” He might not be.
Agree, I'd think there would be more to it than the secret daughter bit.
The opportunities are wide open. If they truly nail a mix of cutting-edge "science" with a realistic, classic spy-vibe...that's an area I'd want to watch Bond films play in all day.
I think the reason for using the child of a Spectre agent ( as a controlled and secret subject in illegal and cutting edge experiments) has been explained to you. Anyway, it's just a guess, but it's still based on the questions you don't seem to be asking yourself - what is the reason for casting a young girl to resemble Swann/Lea and why does Malek's character, who we understand will be exploiting genetics, want to get hold of that child, as we have seen from the winter Norway shoot? I'm keen to hear your or others thoughts.
GREAT news! Although I’m not sure yet he is good enough, I’m overjoyed about this news for two reasons: 1. He is Fukunaga’s choice. 2. David Arnold is not returning!!!
Read my lips: Arnold will never work on a Bond film ever again.
We can't.
The kidnapped scientist would not be taken if he did not have knowledge Malek's character needs - and genetics is, as we understand, what Malek's character is exploiting. And I believe, on what we know so far, that it will connect to the girl who resembles M. Swann.
So what do you all think of Romer's work? I'm reading some people saying great because they liked the music in Beasts Of No Nation and Maniac. I just don't know his music - I don't mind it being different from past Bond films EXCEPT of course I want a great them song, and have it subtly woven into the score at times. It will probably have a more modern feel that past Bond films; that's okay with me. Just coming on here first, so I don't know how positive/negative members here are about Romer.
OK ... reading here and some of you do really like his work. Good. And yes, it seems confirmed by Romer:
Besides we know that there are twists. Maybe the "kidnapped" scientist is working with Malek all along. Would certainly be a typical thing for Dencik, who's used to playing a turncoat.
I have been wondering if they are going to go this route since Malek was announced. Maybe they may even go for a double fake-out with Waltz Blofeld in jail, who had secretly cloned himself and changed his appearance sometime in the past.
