    Last night I had a dream that I was watching Danny Boyle's Bond 25 at the ODEON BFI IMAX in London, the cinema where I had my best movie viewing experience of my life when I watched Skyfall there back in 2012. Boyle's Bond film was a complete home run and the funniest Bond movie ever and I loved it, which is surprising considering I prefer more serious Bond films.

    I want to go back into my dream! :(( :((
    I´m sure noone here is keeping you from going back there.

    Indeed, you are dreaming.

    Given that Yesterday was dreadful, EON and Bond fans everywhere dodged a bullet with Boyle.

    I think on a separate note that at some point we will get an Italian video blog at soonish?

    I think we'd likely get a Pinewood one next, possibly highlighting the Royal visit. But it's really all dependent on how soon the trailer is going to drop. If it comes any later than mid-September, then I'd expect a video blog drop any day. If it's coming sooner, I doubt we get another blog before it.

    I’m fairly certain they’d want the main theatrical trailer to play with Star Wars. From a marketing stand point it makes the most sense.

    That means the main theatrical trailer should be out sometime in December. Which also means the teaser trailer should be released 3-4 months before the theatrical (August/September). I don’t buy for a minute the teaser trailer won’t drop until October.

    I could be totally wrong, but I’d expect something before the month is over or next month, hands down.

    I'd be surprised as well, but you never know. If they release it in time to attach to Joker (Oct 4), meaning online slightly before, it's also an opportunity for them to not only reveal the title simultaneously but also promote Global James Bond day with maximum impact (Oct 5) for merchandising purposes.

    They are not building an entire hotel room on the top of a building in Matera just for a 10 seconds kiss scene like in SP.
    The hotel room scene in SP was filmed at Pinewood, and currently we only know of a facade in Matera. It will likely be blown up or destroyed. Maybe a car drives through it, if rumors of a "car chase on the roofs" are correct.

    But it's diffcult to speculate on the length of the PTS. That's all I'm saying. Is the PTS fast paced? A slow build-up? Any crossediting to an entirely different location? We know nothing of this, but yes, based on the many locations mentioned, we are certainly not talking QoS runtime here (4 minutes), unless some users are right about the theory about southern Italy will feature later in the movie also.

    Yes I know about SP, and made sense since it’s a 10 second shot. It’s a motorcycle chase on the roof btw. The interior paint of the walls of the room are quite particular, Cary and even Sandgren were spotted on the set. No, they’re not spending one month building a set in that incredibly complicated location just for the sake of destroying it in a 2 seconds explosion or just a 10 second scene. Maybe that hotel room is where Bond and Madeleine are spending they’re honeymoon. But yes, 99.9% they’re goin to destroy it in the end of u ask me.

    From that point the cityscape is quite romantic. That’s for sure.

    But, tbh, they could build that at Pinewood and CGI the view--for a lot less $. So there have to be substantial reasons for them taking the time and spending the money, and risking damage to surrounding buildings, to build this set. I can't wait to find out. ;-)

    Yes. That’s exactly what I was saying in my previous post.

    I wonder if Matera will be nighttime sequence or during the day. Either would be beautiful, and we haven't had a nighttime pre-title sequence since Casino Royale.

    Could the hotel room be some kind of romantic setting after the wedding? Like a wedding night with Bond/Swann standing at the window talking, starring out at the view, and then all hell breaks loose.

    On the other hand: The thing that struck me is the wallpaper with the ugly (palm?) trees. It looks like a cuban or Miami hotel in the 70's or 80's

    New pics:





    And this?

    They actually look like orange trees to me. Some of them have fruits hanging on the branches. There are also other motifs, like birds and other kinds of trees. There are few things that accentuate the feel of the Mediterranean garden more that a citrus tree laden with juicy fruit. So, I'd say Matera is Matera. Ugly wall paper or not ;) I bet I'll all look wonderful. The light blue walls against that wonderful blue sky. The iron railings on the veranda. These guys know what they're doing.

    Those iron grills atop the white long doors with the sunbeam motifs are particularly well done, giving us the subliminar context of sunshine framed by the light blue walls and over the blueish tinge view. The white worn wood perfectly dresses the white calcareous rocks that are intrinsic to the city's aesthetic, and at the same time, it contrasts with the canvas of turquoise waters and green trees.

    Maybe there's a sequence planned that starts from the hotel room and moves outside? As Fukunaga loves continuous shots, could Bond and/or Madeleine fight off an assailant inside the room, and the fight continues to the rooftops outside, done in a single motion?

    In an early draft of The Spy Who Loved Me, the leader of Spectre is in a wheelchair and its sent my remote control out of a window/balcony to their death. For some reason I was reminded of this when I saw that hotel room set.

    New-Build

    Benetti's launched the highly anticipated 69-metre custom motor yacht Spectre in Livorno this week. The yacht was commissioned by experienced yacht owners, Jeanette and John Staluppi, the pair known for naming their vessels after Ian Fleming's famous spy novels.

    Spectre, or hull FB269 as she was known, is a full custom 69-meter motor yacht, with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure arranged on five decks, featuring a swimming pool and a ‘touch and go’ helipad. Accommodating 12 guests in unparalleled comfort, the layout features two owner’s cabins (one has a private terrace, a sun lounging area and a hydromassage tub), two VIP cabins on the main deck and two guest cabins on the lower deck.

    Spectreis fitted with Ride Control technology by Naiad Dynamics, a system that significantly increases stability during navigation and improves comfort on board with the help of four stabilising fins and three vertically-adjustable blades.

    The lines of the High Speed Cruising Hull, designed by Dutch firm Mulder Design, deliver maximum navigation efficiency, with a range of 6,500 nautical miles at 12 knots and a top speed of 21.2 knots, 30% more than a traditional displacement hull.

    Photo: Benetti

    The exteriors are by Giorgio M. Cassetta, who says that he has fallen in love with the project and is proud to have contributed to the creation of such a technologically advanced yacht: “I’m very fond of Spectre. It’s the perfect example of a virtuous confluence between the ideas of the owner and the shipyard. John and Jeanette Staluppi, with their immense experience and energy, have spurred us on to imagine a yacht complete with everything that could be desired on a boat this size. Benetti accepted the challenge of building it to the highest standards and with a wealth of innovative technology. The splendid result is a satisfaction that my firm will treasure in the years to come”.

    The style of the interiors, created by Benetti’s Interior Style Department, recalls the mood of certain French hotels and boutiques, standing out from Staluppi’s previous boats in a more classical and modern way. The floor in the main lounge, for example, draws inspiration from the Liberty style flooring in a Paris resort, featuring symmetrical forms and clean-cut geometrical patterns, enriched here with modern touches provided by the choice of Armani fabrics. Other references to French taste are the windows, a reminiscent of Paris’ typical Liberty style shops

    That's true. It could be that they want a particular shot (inside and outside perhaps), which leaves them no other alternative. Just speculating, of course.

    Based on what we know, shooting in Southern Italy doesn't sound too "Craig PTS", or at least we are in for a different kind of PTS. Longer, with more characters moments than usual. 32 sets, the hotel room, the cemetary, the museum, 1200 extra
    And we just learned: a motorcycle chase on rooftops. Not too Craig PTS? There was a hotel room in SP, too. And thousand of extras.

    Here's my take: We know for a fact that scene 15 takes place at the cabin. That leaves a maximum of 14 scenes for the southern Italy scenes if they take place before. Now, scene 14 in SP is Bond entering Whitehall at the 16 min mark right after the main titles. In both SF and TWINE, the main titles were at the 16 min mark. But SF had a lot more scenes than both TWINE and SP. So judged from what we know about Matera, it's really impossible to tell if the PTS is short or long. It could be the longest in Bond history, or it could be one of the shortest. They spent three months in Turkey just for the 15 minutes PTS of SF.

    In fact, we don't know ANYTHING about what will be the PTS, what will be the direct follow up and so on.

    I do think that Matera will not be in it. Unless you want to ramp up a car chase, motorcycle chase and cemetery visit in 10 minutes.

We also know that a scene can be anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes. There has been so many reports about Matera being the PTS, but I guess a clapperboard picture the coming month will reveal a whole lot.

    No we don't know anything about that either.

    If those reports are to be trused, I'll happily admit it. But still I would not believe that they would go through all this set construction and possible action scenes just for the PTS.

    For SF they spent three months to produce a car chase that turned into a shootout that turned into a motorcycle chase that turned into a fight on top of a moving train...

    ...just for the PTS.

    For SP they spent more than a month - just for the PTS - contructing this:

    https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/fleabag-creator-phoebe-waller-bridge-writing-bond-25-her-secret-new-movie-1231046

    Great interview with PWB where she spoke a little bit about B25.

    "There's something about James Bond that always intrigued me in a similar way that Villanelle did," says Waller-Bridge, referencing Comer's Killing Eve assassin. "They live a fantasy! But it's a life none of us would ever want, if we're honest. We don't want to go put a bullet in someone's head to sleep with people and have martinis. It's a kind of fantasy nightmare." Asked about reports that Bond 25 actress Lashana Lynch will be picking up the 007 mantle, she says, "The whole thing has potential to birth new iconic characters all the time."

    She's cognizant and somewhat suspicious of the mild frenzy around her contribution: "A lot has been made of me coming on board because I'm a woman, and that's wonderful. But also I can't take credit for the movie that was written. It's Cary's movie."

    PWB clearly intends that we'll see Cary's film. Of course, movie has number of screenwrites but accoding to PWB words Cary is probably main author of this film.
