I doubt that he drives it from London, to Norway, then back to London. It would make sense that he acquires it in London then goes with it to Norway.
To be honest, the scenes filmed in London yesterday don't seem very climactic, so my gut tells me those shots of the V8 on the Atlantic Road make up part of the climax.
I'm not quite so sure I buy the Grace Jones cameo bit at all. I remember TWINE was rumored to have cameos by previous Bond girls, which of course didn't happen.
Connery was rumored as Bond's father in DAD (I believe) or some other bull. Not to mention the Connery as Kincaid rumor.
I think it was seriously considered as an idea, but I doubt Connery himself ever pondered the possibility.
Did the Daily Mail just dance into the fire?
I see what you did there
With a pose like that Marketto, you should be in a white dinner jacket!!! :-bd
Could not agree more whether it is in colour or black and white.
But Bond arrives in the V8 in London with scarring on his face. So to me, it would be more logical that there's a chase in Norway, Bond gets hurt, and then drives back to London for a debriefing/denouement. Like the London scenes in SF. If Bond 25 is on the shorter side (and not the long one as previously speculated), those office scenes with M might even be some of the final scenes.
I've personally zoomed in on the board and it seems to be an exterior looking scene. My instinct was possibly Matera, but with the locations we have this film, it could be any of them.
If that was Seydoux's double in the car in Norway, where does she fit into all this? Does she survive Norway? If the little girl is a flashback, could they be going back to her childhood home in the present to get something and someone (Malek?) is waiting for them?
Good point. Bond not being in active service for the entirety of the film would be very strange indeed. So the best guess would be:
PTS in Matera (probably with Madeleine)
Norway flash back scene in the middle of the PTS?
Title sequence
Bond in Jamaica, meets Leiter and Nomi
Bond to Cuba, meets Paloma
Action ensues
Bond back to MI6, gets pulled back in active service
Climax (with Malek and Seydoux?) in Norway
This will probably be the same run time as TDKR.
Yes sir, except I'd change a couple things around:
PTS in Matera (probably with Madeleine)
Title sequence
Norway flashback
Porton Down scenes with Dencik's character
Bond in Jamaica, meets Leiter and Nomi
Bond to Cuba, meets Paloma
Bond back to MI6, gets pulled back in active service
Climax (with Malek and Seydoux?) in Norway
The Atlantic Road shoot from last month.
I *highly* doubt it'll be over 2 and a half. Over 2 though, feels almost certain.
Are we speculating that the Barton Perreira shades will be in the movie & the Vuarnets are out? The Barton Perreira shades look ridiculously cheap. Like gas station cheap.
After 4 1/2 years between #24 and #25, why would anyone want LESS Bond screen time? I'd be thrilled if 25 is over 2 hours. Heck, if the movie is good, I'd sit for 3!
You beat me to it, @RogueAgent . I agree.
TBH, the Craig films are the ones I watch the least, and part of that is running time and pacing.
QoS often was criticized for it's editing and pacing, yet to me it flowed more smoothly and kept up a nice tempo. Similar to DN and GF.
That said, I'd be satisfied if the B25 clocked in around 2hrs 10 minutes or so.
=D>
@marketto007 The Telsa that was in Norway?
Hooray to that.
One of the reasons I like QOS is that it has that pacing and no messing around approach that the early films had. IMO Forster was the best Bond director of the Craig era. So far.
The reason I don't want a long film is that it increases the chances of flacid, meandering plot nonsense. SF and SP both suffer from being overlong and for no good reason. Someone needed to go through the script and cut 10% of the dialogue and then leave another 10% of the film on the cutting room floor.
David Dencik apparently did scenes in Jamaica.
But QoS went the other way. It was too brief for its own good--not necessarily Forster's fault. Bond films are not simply action films. A Bond film requires a fair amount of wit and exchange between characters, and this was severely lacking in QoS. So I disagree in the sense that QoS was a throwback to earlier films. QoS is an outlier.
