    I am no expert or graphic designer but @Zekidk is this a fair price and will they use fan poster in marketing?

    They won’t use them to market the film directly, but the competition as a whole is a nice way to promote the film and engage with the fans, and the prize money seems pretty great to me: to be honest they could probably just’ve done a ‘you get the publicity of us publishing it on our website’ but to give prize money as well is really good of them.

    Or maybe Blofeld is actually a woman turned into a man with the help of Mad Safin's technology. ;)
    Mad is a very cool first name for a Bond villain.

    Oh wait. "Mad" Safin? And "Mad" as in "Maddie" like in "Madeleine" Swann??
    OMG!! They are twins, separated at birth!! Safin and Madeleine are siblings!! What a twist ...

    Cue another conspiracy theory about the story going into psycho babble family history, angst, too emotional for Bond, etc. ;)

    Saw this on Instagram.

    The crew shirt lists all the locations in which the film will be set.

    Of course she does. It's not even debatable.


    All right, all right. Still think Lashana looks more like a fighter.

    How big do you think Safin's world wide army will be? Is he a member of Spectre? So many questions about this man. I wish the trailers and posters played up the mystery of who he is more. One of the posters could just simply say "Who is safin?" "Who Is this Man?" "You will meet this man, soon." A missed opportunity, but I think Safin will be remembered well as one of the most interesting characters.

    Sorry about that. I posted this on my cell. I can’t find the IG post any longer but the shirt listed “Italy, Pinewood, Cuba, Norway, Scotland, Jamaica, Faroes and London.

    Nice confirmation of the Faroe Islands involvement, and seems to dispel that Japan rumor.

    Likely not. All the SPECTRE agents on the dancefloor we see in the trailer
    Spoiler
    are being gassed. If not by Safin or his men, then by who?

    How? The T-shirt just listed the countries/cities around the world in which they filmed. The T-shirt was given as a present to the members of the location department. Nothing to see here...

    Cuba would seem a strange one to list alongside Pinewood: they didn’t actually go there did they? Maybe they did and we didn’t know (although I didn’t think any film companies went there).

    Last month it was rumoured that 3 different endings have been shot and one of them is people being gassed on dance floor. Does that mean cuba party scene is at the climax.

    @mtm US companies are not allowed to work in Cuba incl film production. But it may very well be ok for the rest of the world, like UK.

    I know that several music videos has been shot in Havanna, but that may only be latin music videos.

    Either way I don't think they been to Cuba at all. Major set-pieces at Pinewood and the rest shot in Jamaica. Remember they had a big mural with R. Castro & co built at the dock with the fishing boat (later blown up at sea) in Port Antonio.

    Yeah after all the work recreating it it would seem odd to go there as well. Seems a strange one to list if they didn’t.

    Well, psychology and angst are doubtlessly prominent in this film, even if perhaps just for one scene. Otherwise we wouldn´t see Bond with his arms wrapped around his chest when he sees Blofeld. Bond standing like that would have been inconceivable up to now.
    Another point is pure speculation, but not far-fetched: Bond thinks history repeats itself when he suspects Mad Maddie to betray him at Vesper´s grave.
    I don´t say it´s too much for Bond, because a) in the right hands and so on, and b) from time to time I believe I can get into this personal Bond thing. I even enjoyed SP when I watched it the other night.

    Ignore me if I´m gnawing too much on this, but a 00 agent´s job description is not to knock the opponent out in a fight, but to kill a bad person if the necessity arises during a job. And to kill a person, skill is much more important than size or physique. If a 5ft lady can mezmerize the 6-and-a-half-ft monster with her warm stare and then pricks him with a poisoned needle, the guy is ded.

    @matt_u, yeah, it´s not bad at all. It´s strange, I don´t know how it happened ;-).

    Not bad at all, especially since in NTTD things are personal not only for Bond but for his love interest as well... :)

    NTTD seems to be the most emotional Bond movie ever at this point. An epic love story, like BB said.

    Yes, skill is more important than size. I know a thing or two about it. I'm not a particularly big man and I'm rather short, one of my Krav Maga instructors was shorter than me, but he could absolutely demolish guys three times his size. That said, he has strong and very visible muscles and his demeanor can easily tell you he's trouble if you want to fight him. 00s are operatives, they are meant to kill any way necessary, sometimes by placing a bomb, sometimes using a gun, sometimes using brute strength and skills. Lashana looks like she can do it, imo. Halle Berry looks like a model.

    Halle looks beautiful as she did when she portrayed Jacinto Jinx Jones. Born on Friday the 13th. I would even dare say she looks better than Ms. Lynch wholooks like the dogs brek! THeyve done it in Star Wars with Rose and now this. Audiences don't want frumpish women or overly masculine women . Especially no room for that in a Bond!

    @SafinDuplessis if you continue to post such hate filled comments you're going to find your time here short lived.
    If this is your view of Bond, then you obviously don't get Bond.

    I think Wishaw's Q is a very strong addition to the MI6 crew. He's a very good actor and he combines geek with charm exceptionally well. I hope they keep him on board for the next batch of Bonds with a different lead.

    Indeed....I would really like him to remain as Q for decades to come. Although I don't know if Harris might carry on as Moneypenny for long(Sadly coz of her age). Since Moneypenny's Repartee with Bond has something of an unacomplished tryst about it, it might need a younger actress.

    Harris could probably stay on for another era, especially if her role was reduced for the next actor. She looks a lot younger than 43 imo.

    Plus, Lois Maxwell was older than Connery, and they had great chemistry. In fact, her not being younger than him likely had something to do with why it was so good!
