I m also curious how Lee Smith compares to Stuart/Kate Baird. Because let's face it....it's a different kind of editor. But it can't be that bad as Matt Chesse.
One thing that really worked for me in "Skyfall" was the entire pre-credits sequence. It truly was quintessentially "Bond". It was one big 7 min. chase from start to finish. Similar to the PTS of "TLD" and "TWINE". And I hope the Austrian action sequence will look/feel like the "Skyfall"-PTS a bit.
I would imagine it will be. This is the guy who managed to mask Nolan's hap-hazard staging of action sufficiently. With Witt's coverage of action and Mendes' coverage of drama I can't imagine he'll mess it up.
You can disagree with anything you like. That's not a problem. What I find tiring is your lengthy posts that try to debunk my 'opinion'. I'm not stating it as fact, it's merely my humble opinion. I was referring to the comment that locals had said 'Shoot Rome as it is', which lead to talk of what I'd like to have seen in SF as a resident of London and how the inclusion of other locations could have added to the scope and diversity of the city. I'm not keen on sanitising, beauty can be found in the ugliest of places. Plus, I didn't say anything about London being cliche in SF, you took two independent comments and used them to misinterpret what I said. The comment about 'cliche's' was in direct reference to your post about Austria. My minor issue with SF was a lack of grit in the London scenes, hence 'picture postcard' beautiful. A 'minor' issue, not to be blown out of proportion.
Thanks for the comment. Just don't take it that personal @RC7. I'm not here to debunk anything. Call me a passionate guy who simply disagrees a lot with you. In a passionate, for you maybe, tiresome and irritating way. But that's something I can not help. I just think that certain "fears" and, what you call, "minor issues", are a bit unfounded.
Moreover, when you talk in terms like you know how filmmaking works, and that you get paid for it....it actually sound a bit...well. We are not all film professionals here. And although I do respect you, sometimes you imply that I lack any knowledge because of that "film professional tag". That's a bit....well....not so nice. Even amateurs like me and many others on here can give valuable insight.
But no hard feelings. What do you think of the Austrian action sequence so far?
I agree, some of the stuff you were saying is patronising to anyone who uses a bit of common sense. I don't think you lack knowledge, but sometimes it comes across that you feel others do, or need reminding in a lecturing tone. Everyone gets the idea that action scenes are brainstormed for example. I'm sure it's just lost in translation. I have no fears or issues with SP, just thoughts.
Anyhow, the production timeline...
So again, what do you think of the Austrian action sequence so far? Share my enthusiasm :-)?
Do you think so?
On many sources it still says Oct 23rd for the UK.
I can't believe that the UK will get SPECTRE after Germany and some other countries, where the 4th and 5th of November are officially announced as release dates.
Here you have UK and Ireland still listed for Oct 23rd:

At the press event on Dec 4th, they only might have announced the US release date, but not the british one.
It looks good from what I can tell, although how it works narratively I don't really know, but visually great. One thing I'm curious about is...
Initially I guessed they'd use some kind of wire rig (similar to that used for it to pass through the forest path) to launch it 'in' to the house. As it is, it seems like it passes 'through' the house. I'm intrigued to see if they have built a rig to propel the fuselage from the house or whether this will be cgi, model work, or a combo.
I don't know if I've seen all the photos, but I think I have.
About Rome, given all the legal stuff they first faced there (about the new law on movie props and firearms) + the bad buzz Skyfall had during production when it was rumored they had created some damages at the Grand Bazaar = I don't think the crew will clean the location for the shooting, it is definitely a job that officials must take the responsability of. I think they will use movie magic so we don't see the dirty spots.
Tourists will be disappointed if they go and see the location later, but then that's Rome's problem. Here in Paris, the bridges with lovelocks now do not look at all like what you see in Chanel ads : there are even ugly tagging on the wood panels they put to prevent more lovelocks. But you'll keep on saying the "nice bridges" on TV :)
And well, there's Plan B :
Hm.. in Logan's screenplay, for the whole sequence he writes : "And.. BAM !"
[Or maybe not, I'm also one the few here who understands nothing and needs lot of lenghty explanations :) ]
Quite.
Great pic Marketto! Thanks for posting! :-bd
I get what you're saying about beauty in ugliness ( the national theatre for example) but I thought the locations in london were relatively honestly represented.
The snow scenes look great btw. Snow = beauty IMO. Spectre should be visually stunning. I'm on board with no ski scene if we 're getting a killer original scene like a plane chasing after 4x4s down a hill
Agreed :-).
I am also very curious how the entire Austria-part in "SPECTRE" will be edited together. I mean...how does 007 get to Austria? Will there be a hotel scene to start with, like in CR? How does 007 actually get on that black airplane? Is there an airstrip (LTK)? Will the spying/chase kick off in Altaussee on these Salzkammergut boats?
Lot of questions hehe :-). By the way, I have been asked to tone down my curiosity a bit, as asking too many of such questions can result in spoiler-ish discussions....Sorry if I do that. I am just very enthusiastic...
Please be careful with spoiler tags. I don't know if you read the SonyLeaks @Jake24 . I had serious trouble with that. But if you're guessing this....then I love your guess hehe ;-).
Good then :-). But I really like your idea. Moreover, the idea of kidnapping someone......I still love it. Brings back some CR-memories.
I completely agree with you, as I said previously, the locations they presented were accurate. It just would have been nice to have a broader spectrum given it's demonstrable role in the movie. It still revolved around landmarks and relatively famous locales.
How would you have done it then? Could you give some examples...and how this could be used within the story? I am curious. I read already some examples from you, but it wasn't very clear to me.
What wasn't clear?
How you would used London instead in SF. Some examples. And how perhaps "SPECTRE" can improve on that.

The leaks make it clear... Just saying. Official announcement in March probably though, IMAX CEO already mentioned last year that Bond is on their slate.
