I grew up on a place where it snowed in the winter and I always hated it. I don't mind snow, it doesn't bother me to get out and get on with my life but I don't like it. I love to look at the snow when I'm warm inside the house and don't need to get out :D Still I'm hoping for snow for Bond 24, nothing like looking at snow without the wet, cold feet and cold-burned face and hands :)
=))
Where are you from, @QBranch?
Every Bond needs a snow sequence, and it's a step toward a more classic adventure for Craig.
@Soundofthesinners I've lived in Queensland, Australia for most of my life- but now I reside in Adelaide, where, for me, it gets incredibly cold during winter, and incredibly hot in summer. Perhaps the closest I've come to seeing snow is beads of hail the size of rice here in Adelaide, and going indoor ice skating in far north Queensland, which was a unique and memorable experience, as at the time, I knew nothing other than a humid, tropical climate.
QBranch comes from a Land Down Under,
where there's no snow
and men thunder ... ;)
....
I, too, come from a hot land with no snow but mega humid, hot climate ... Florida, U.S.A.
I have reveled in the small bit of snow I get here in western Japan.
Last winter was the first time in more than 20 years apparently to have enough snow in my town to stay on the ground. I had a true snow day and could not get to work! It was a blast.
I'm hoping for lovely snow scenes with Bond 24. And he can still walk around in skivvies or something while having a warming hot toddy. ;)
Anyway, back to the topic- it does snow in other parts of Australia, so perhaps Bond is headed down this way? Before Bond departs from London, maybe his housekeeper serves him up a delicious breakfast consisting of Vegemite on toast? haha
Umm... Confusing comments there... Snow doesn't cause one to have wet feet. As for cold feet, didn't you have proper winter footwear? Cold-burned hands? How? Bare hands, maybe? For most part, one just needs proper clothing and to keep moving in sub-zero temperatures. Of course, I don't know where you grew up. Where I did, it very rarely got much colder than about -30C, so it was fine by me - warm houses, warm clothing, warm shoes. No biggie. (And it rarely gets much warmer than +30C in summer, so that's fine by me, too.) I like snow, as long as it's not coming down sideways, and thankfully here it rarely does. (Sub-zero temps with nasty wind always tend to be unpleasant.) The wet stuff - sleet, snow+water - that I hate... but you don't get that as long as it's below zero. For weather like that one needs footwear that keeps the water out. It's simple, really. ;)
I don't quite get the fascination many have with snow in Bond films, I don't care much either way. We barely had any snow last winter, though (it was raining at Christmas, ugh), so I may get nostalgic about it myself if that continues. And it is pretty, at best gorgeous, and brings the dark wintertime some light, so I did miss it last winter. But snow just for snow's sake in movies? In Bond movies I mostly associate snow with ridiculous scenes, people obviously not actually skiing etc., so I'm not that eager to see it again, and don't know why so many are, but of course it can be used well, too, so, if we'll have snow in the new one, we'll see...
It's also comforting to know that Craig will strive to do as many action scenes as he can. If Bond skis, snowboards or whatever, it'll be him for the most part. There's potential for it to be one of the best snowy action sequences we've seen. Yes, the projection behind Rog in Spy's PTS is snicker-worthy, but one can't deny the action/scene as a whole- not to mention the winter sports in FYEO and night skiing in OHMSS, are incredible to watch.

This...
But right now we are discussing that "article" from the Sun, which indicates skiing, so my argument is relevant in this connection.
True, snow = skiing.
A snowmobile is a good idea. Easier to learn how to handle it and hence makes for a more realistic scene.
Yeah LOL - Bond can but DC cannot ;)
Imagine if the moonraker parachute dives, the bungee jump in GE, or the TSWLM cliff jump and the Bond vs Necros fight on the net dangling from behind the plane were CG *shudders* I don't care how much action Daniel wants to do himself, there are certain things he can't do due to skill-limitation and general safety which is where professional stuntmen should come in.
