That white mask is a broken Japanese Noh mask (used for drama, storytelling). It's chilling and haunting; a very nice touch.
Also typically used in Japanese storytelling to symbolize a supernatural being taking human form. Ties in very close to some of Safin's dialogue in the trailer.
Didn't knew about the Japanese connection. Also I saw a comment mentioning that mask remind them of phantom menace (haven't seen the film myself).
It's all rather perplexing, isn't it? And plus: it appears Bond is the one who has fallen into the ice at the house at Norway. In the GMA interview, he says he filmed underwater quite a bit. He was not present for that Norway shoot, so I have no idea how these pieces all fit together.
I think the mask is Safin's signature so to speak.
It's been established that it's the girl who falls into the water in the winter scene. I'm wondering if Bond takes a dip at Safin's base since you can see large vats of water there in the trailer. But honestly who the hell knows at this point.
Unless the person in the mask isn't Malek. You know one thing we have seen much is the Waldo character or Bill Magnuson character.
You think that whole Norway sequence doubles for Japan I suppose Japan doesn't have those kind of pine trees and where his lair is.
I accepted a new Blofeld. Just not the way it was handled.
Well, we did in YOLT, OHMSS and DAF. But that's beside the point. Batman can get away with relaunching the Joker every ten years or so but Bond can't remake or remix villains? Plus, I'm not seeing the DR. NO connection aside from some superficial similarities.
When you say it’s clear... it’s a ship :)
ZERO complaints here!
Lots to debate and piece together and excellent content in this trailer and looks like we’re in for a very strong movie and story. Great news!!
Visually it looks fantastic! And a nice change from the previous 2 which had a similar visual look and feel. Cracking!!! Let the debates begin 🍸
I wouldn't be shocked if she is a baddie.
No, I still think it's Norway but we will see. Great thing is aside from personal angle we still don't know anything about the villians plan ;)
I don't want to get too much into it, but I'll just go on the paralel you made
Imagine if they announce a new Batman movie and they say
"In this movie Batman will fight a new villlain called "Jeff" he is a billionaire!"
And you say "Hey, Batman vs Jeff, interesting a new villain huh?" And you watch the movie and..it turns out...it was Joker! Again!
And the majority of people are like "Eh, at least you could've said it upwards..this is bad"
And then there's "Batman 2: Electric Boogaloo"
And the movie is "Batman vs Patrick! A new villain who works with the police and is a totally new character!"
And you watch the movie.....and yet again..it's revealed that "Patrick" is actually The Riddler..
To me he is harvesting some kind of nuclear energy based of the rods and electricity.
I will add the interrogation scene and vintage car stored in a lock up to my list.
@MajorDSmythe is this from the trailer?
Let's hope this doesn't mean we'll also get The Moors to underscore the climax 😂 +1
Seems there will be some elements borrowed from Dr. No but the main contrast in my mind is Dr. No was never a fighter. He would not be holding a gun chasing someone through the woods. Safin seems far more dangerous, or at least I hope he is.
Well his lair -and maybe even outfit- are pretty Japanese too, so I think he’s got some sort of obsession there. But it does look to be in Norway.
@fjdinardo my bet is that he's an Hannibal Lecter kind of character. I wouldn't be surprised if he's playing both sides against the middle.
