These two pages apparently have a deep deep spoiler-ish effect on me. I was just reading a topic on IMDB that was not spoiler protected, and there I read
Also, now you get topics like these:
"I'm Glad the Leak Happened", basically a full attack on EON Productions
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2379713/board/thread/237979964
This will all have consequences for the fun and anticipation we initially had. And it's already generating a lot of negativity surrounding "SPECTRE". The 300 Million budget gets attacked everywhere, now EON Productions is being tagged as criminals themselves. A bunch of multimillionaires who are killing off small budget filmmakers.
Really, one needs to be careful here and keep focussed on the main problem here. The main criminal: Which is "Guardians of Peace. The actual criminal hackers.
I'm hoping for a pleasant surprise on that front. Or that they hold off on the revelation for B25. It would just increase the anticipation for the next movie, which would be important marketing if Mendes is not coming back for it.
I agree @Gustav_Graves. I'm not happy about this at all either. We are fans here who like to speculate and discuss our favourite franchise. Now we have a new movie coming out and we are forced to keep our mouths shut while fly by night fans are out there trashing the leaked scripts...I'm not happy that we are not able to discuss as freely as we otherwise could.
BTW I did not know about the part you posted (the Spoiler about a certain city). I read a script synopsis which was on an entertainment news site but it did not mention this.
At the end of the day, Sony are just as much to blame as GOP IMO. They should never have put this stuff in soft format. I feel especially bad for EON given to what lengths they normally go to protect the Bond script. This could also mark the end of the Sony/EON partnership (isn't it meant to be done with after this film anyway?)
I'm sure this leak will lead to major changes in how scripts are protected in the future as it should.
This could affect SPECTRE's overall box office take and it could also affect the perceptions of the movie in the minds of the general public. That's not good, espcially if the opinions are being formed off an early draft. I remember all the negative speculation when TND was being made......
Indeed. Not to mention more long-term consequences. Sony is still alive, but this could result to a situation were Sony could really go bankrupt. Threathening possible production of Bond 25. Sony has always been a very good production partner of EON. Ever since "Casino Royale" they were part in the success of the Bond films also.
I really hope that next month the attention to this hack and the leaked SPECTRE-screenplay has been windled down completely.
Well, it does put SPECTRE on the front page of many movie websites and tv channels....again. But if it's positive, I'm not sure. As it contains complete screenplay leaks. Which is very bad.
This will have consequences for the box office I think. Especially when you just read the headlines:

Are we happy now :(?
Actually, I was thinking about watching that one soon. I've not seen Dr. No for quite some time. I've just started the 2nd season of Newsroom yesterday so have to get through that first, but all Spectre Connery Bonds are on my list before New Year.
Take the Harry Potter films for example. 8 movies based on books. Everyone knew that Dumbledore would die in Part 6 or that Snape will turn out to be a good guy in Part 7...
I've been on these boards and their predecessors for 10 years next June - never had to do this.
From you lips to God's ears, as the saying goes.
I hope MI6-HQ, and forummembers on here, follows the example of other 007 fan sites and boards.
Also, Daniel Craig's casual remark at the press conference that Spectre now has "a better script than we had last time" (compared to Skyfall) gives me some hope. A lot could have changed between the reported script leaks and the press conference...
So... All is not lost.
The funny thing is that even though the administrators of those Bond sites stated that they won't write or publish any information about the leaked screenplay, they will be the first in line to read the script. If they haven't read it already...
Yes, but then I'm very happy that these editors from Bond fan sites are not spoiling as much as most general movie entertainment websites do.
One positive effect of this all could be that the cast & crew of SPECTRE will do even more their best to make it a top quality espionage thriller. Because this will most certainly piss off Sam Mendes, Daniet Craig and all others involved.
As for the leaks, no casual movie-goer ever reads scripts. And the way the media deal with it is rather unprofessional, yes, but most media are unprofessional in any case, so there´s not that much of a difference.
What´s the difference between anamorphic and spherical lenses?
Also any comments made concerning SPOILER posts, should also be placed in SPOILER TAGS.

Anamorphic lenses squeeze the image onto the film negative so they can frame for aspect ratio 2:35:1 - widescreen or letterbox. Because the light is being squeezed as it goes through the lens, there is a much greater drop off in depth of field which directors and DOPs, cameramen, use dramatically, artistically etc. when framing and lighting. The final film is un-squeezed by the projector lens to produce the full widescreen image.
Spherical lenses are flat, in that they do not squeeze the image onto the 35mm film stock, and as such they frame for 1.85:1 (close to the 16x9 widescreen of TVs these days) which is not as wide as the anamorphic letterbox image. But to match the same framing as the material shot on anamorphic lenses, they will shoot Super 35mm which means they use the extra area on the film stock normally reserved for the soundtrack (the optical track in the old days) once the film is completed, but with digital sound and projection now, that is no issue.
The reason why they are using spherical lenses for certain action shots is that it's much easier to shoot and frame low light, fast action shots with spherical lenses, especially as they do not have the dramatic depth of field drop off which anamorphic lenses have.
That's broadly it.
Also, Butterworth is one of my favourite writers, so I do trust him.
As for who's doing the song, I'm surprised such info didn't get leaked; which is good.
I heard through the grapevine non of the names previously linked are doing it and that its Paloma Faith who has landed it
