Men's Journal: Craig's training for NTTD, pages 85-90
https://docdro.id/MxZTyXr
Could be considerable considering their last release was one the biggest failures in recent memory.
you may not like the film-- and many do not on this forum. But an $880 million take from the last film is NOT a failure; it suggests that many, many, many repeat viewers returning accumulated that number.
Insisting, @delfloria, that this release was "one of the biggest failure in recent memory" is quite frankly fake news. It's a lie. It may have not met your standards, and that's fine (Spectre currently ranks 21 out of 24 for me), but to call it "one of the biggest failures in recent memory" is a truth only in your rankings... Box office-wise it was a success and the majority of the audiences that came back time and again on repeat viewings to accumulate that $880 million tally may disagree with your insinuation that this film was a "failure".
Separate from that, surely there are financial issues with the current state of the world and recovery from crisis. I expect it will affect box office.
Maybe to the point Daniel Craig comes back for one more mission, to "go out on a high".
The spy film, "The Rhythm Section" produced by EON earlier this year, was a colossal flop and financial disaster.
That's been his plan since SP. It isn't working.
And this will affect NTTD how exactly? Spectre was the 6th most succesful movie of 2015, right before Inside Out and right after Minions.
@Mendes4Lyfe Trolling par excellence? opinions aren't facts.
Safin's plan is to use an algae-based bioweapon to wipe out humanity and repopulate the planet with genetically engineered cloned humans of his design. The Adam & Eve of Safin's Eden will be child clones of himself and Bond's lover Madeline Swann (Lea Seydoux), with whom he has been obsessed since meeting her as a young girl.
In Italy, James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Madeline Swann (Lea Seydoux) are attacked by SPECTRE while visiting the tomb of Vesper Lynd. Bond believes Madeline has betrayed him and they separate. One year later, Bond is living in Jamaica. Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) recruits him to rescue Dr. Valdo Obruchev (David Dencik) from SPECTRE in Cuba. Bond later meets MI6 agent Nomi (Lashana Lynch), who has also been assigned to find Obruchev.
In Cuba, Bond meets Leiter’s protégés Paloma (Ana de Armas) and Ashe (Billy Magnussen). Bond and Paloma infiltrate a SPECTRE outpost and learn that a rival organization is killing SPECTRE’s leaders and stealing their resources. They rescue Obruchev and meet with Leiter in a boat, but are betrayed by Ashe, who is working for the new organization. Ashe kills Leiter and Paloma and kidnaps Obruchev. Bond survives and Nomi rescues Obruchev.
In London, Bond rejoins the MI6 to avenge Leiter and Paloma, and learns they have recruited Madeline as a consultant. Bond interrogates Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Christoph Waltz), who reveals that Safin (Rami Malek), a rogue SPECTRE operative with a secret connection to Madeline, leads the new organization. Nomi learns Safin stole Obruchev’s research on a new algae-based bioweapon.
Madeline reveals that, when she was a child, Safin came to kill her mother. Young Madeline fell into a frozen lake trying to escape, but was rescued by Safin, who abducted her and has been coercing her into helping him in exchange for sparing her mother’s life. Bond and Madeline locate Madeline’s mother in Norway, and she provides a clue to Safin’s whereabouts before Ashe and his men arrive, kill her and abduct Madeline.
Nomi volunteers to help Bond rescue Madeline. Blofeld helps them decipher Madeline’s mother’s clue and locate Safin’s lair in an abandoned diamond mine in Russia, where Madeline learns that Safin is planning to use Obruchev’s weapon to wipe out humanity and repopulate the planet with genetically engineered cloned humans. He has already made a girl based on Madeline’s DNA to be the Eve, and is making a boy based on own DNA to be the Adam of his New Eden.
Bond and Nomi infiltrate Safin’s lair. Bond is captured and brought before Safin, but manages to escape, disable the bioweapon and kill Safin, avenging Leiter and Paloma. Meanwhile, Nomi kills Ashe and rescues Madeline and Eve. The four escape before the facility explodes and reunites at a nearby beach, where Bond and Madeline reconcile and decide to raise Eve together, while Nomi returns to the MI6. Bond assures her that he’s never too far gone if they need his help again.
He was talking about the financial impact on Eon and MGM, that was the post he was responding to. NTTD being down on profit isn’t going to be great financial news for them after Rhythm Section, that seems reasonable to say.
Lots of people knee jerking over things they haven’t read properly, come on guys.
Every big studio has had a flop in recent years.
I have so far not read anything constructive from "Defloria".
The only reason it seems accurate is because someone has meshed every single rumour and put it into the story. However, not every rumour can be true.
"What I believe" not equals fact. Your metoo comment is beyond silly, she was never confirmed to be more than a supporting character.
And if it turns out to be false, it's still pretty close to the actually plot. I think.
As far as I understand, PWB spoke about writing female characters that aren't there to just 'die.' She's spoken so much about the film, so I'll have t hunt for the interview.
Did she explicitely said that no female characters will die?
Not sure how to feel about this if true. Everything sounds good up until the “Adam & Eve” plot, and the whole Bond and Madeleine deciding to raise a cloned little girl together. The character of Bond really shouldn’t possess any paternal qualities IMO. Just seems odd to me.
I actually quite like the 'Adam and Eve' plot, just not the cloned child story I hate. However, whilst it is likely that the writer has simply made it up. It's worth nothing that there may be a quantum of credibility to the story.
They are suggesting the 'Eve' character is based on these photos where I believe a child was spotted in costume on set. Though for the life of me I can't find them on the internet now.......

I just noticed the girl standing next to Lashana Lynch is holding Craig’s navy ribbed army sweater from N. Peal.

Did you refer to the little girl with the striped salopette behind Lashana?
Sigh.
Although It does make me wonder where Q and Moneypenny and Tanner will fit in?
Do you ever have anything positive to say? Ever? Or do you have to be sour in every single post you make?
Yep.
That's the kid....looks to me like the child is in costume. Otherwise, someone just bought their kid to the set.
I doubt that would be the case.......there is always the chance that Safin is testing is 'virus' on children. This child could be someone who human tests are taking place on and Nomi saves her in time.
This could very well be the 'cloned' Madeleine......
