EoN are too stingy with their material for this to happen.
No one cares apart from a select group of fans. Unlikely EON will do it anyhow, people are already butt-hurt enough about continuity, they don't need more fuel for that particular fire.
Plus, White dies (supposedly) in the extended QoS, so it should stay exactly where it is. In the bin.
SPECTRE needs a DC too. Or extended version, whatever. They did it with the Alien box set, there's no way to predict that EON / SONY wouldn't take that option for a Craig Bond set. It's all about bucks. Nothing is set in stone.
They're not going to re-edit it. You should get used to that fact.
Afraid RC7 is right. If theyve never bothered to go and do something as simple as remove the shitty slide whistle that ruins one of the best stunts in history they aren't about to go tinkering on a bigger scale.
Although it's a nice idea it won't happen and we should be careful what we wish for. Perhaps they could get George Lucas in to do it? Professor Dent shoots first anyone?
Ha ha. That gives me the shivers. Thank Christ canon is canon and we don't have a Lucas sniffing around.
You're obviously new to the EON/Bond universe. As @TheWizardOfIce notes, there are plenty of canonical anomalies that should/could have been rectified, but they preserve the originals whether we like it or not and I respect them for not being drawn into the web of fan wank.
Moneypenny offered the Skyfall personal affects to Bond at MI6 headquarters, but Bond told her to give it to him that evening at his apartment at 9pm. Moneypenny gets Bond his personal effects from Skyfall that evening, as agreed. After some talking,while Bond is still dressed and carries his shoulderholster, Moneypenny leaves and we see Bond in his bathrobe checking his personal effects.
Yes. The bathrobe is still there.
Possibly true, but the whomever created the M/Tanner as traitors idea should be relieved of duty. Thankfully Fiennes had the class and experience to refuse such a silly idea. Tanner as a traitor is even more absurd and out of left-field.
I personally think C worked well in this film. He was a necessary component. The main issue was the lack of anything between Bond and Swann. in OHMSS the relationship between Bond and Tracy felt organic and measured. In SP it's just clumsy and forced, and I likely won't care if she's killed off in the next film.
I never read any of the leaked scripts or any of that stuff but are you seriously saying that the original idea was that M was a traitor and the only person to see it as a load of bollocks was Fiennes otherwise it would've gone ahead? Jesus Christ that's terrifying. What are EON playing at.
The notion of Tanner being a traitor is even more risible. So P&W thought a big twist for the climax would be Rory 'less screen presence than the double take pigeon' Kinnear revealing the reason he has done absolutely nothing, except open doors for M, in 3 films was not ineptitude but because he was a traitor? Most of the people in the audience would be confused and think 'why is that extra who stands behind M and Q suddenly the focus of the film?'
Although to be fair he would be perfect as a mole given he fits to a tee Fleming's description of a spy as 'the man who is just a silhouette'. Although I don't think dear old Ian meant someone so bland and forgettable even his missus doesn't recognise him when he climbs into bed and calls the police to report a sex pest is attacking her.
When Rory walks into a room people just close the door thinking there's a draught.
Blofeld has his cat, ( manipulating, people and events ) while Bond has
a mouse, as he is the " Prey" for Blofeld ?
Only joking. :))
Bwahahahahaha! Oh lord that was quite a read.
Not in the script that I read(cannot remember which draft that was), but yes, originally Ralph was supposed to be a traitor; which was such a horrible idea anyway, but especially so given the events of SF and how he portrayed. Fiennes is an absolute joy in SF and SP, I think his casting was great. As for good old Heinekin drinking Tanner, god knows what purpose it would have served.
Well at least Bond might have killed him so I wouldnt have to put up with seeing his gormless half moon face in the corner of the screen while proper characters are talking ever again.
Shame though as we missed out on a real series highlight - Bond v Rory would surely have topped the FRWL train fight?
Tanner as traitor wasn't P&W's idea. That was in John Logan's early drafts. It also included Tanner committing suicide while Bond watched. Amy Pascal said she liked the idea of Tanner as traitor.
I obviously didn't know about that traitor rubbish but I was against Logan from the start based simply on his previous work and his questionable take on Bond's history compared to Fleming's.
Indeed he did! I'll read the rest of his eventually. Wasn't it Icebreaker in which virtually everyone switched sides at some point!
could spot who would be the double agent would be.
I have a sneaking suspicion Logan was giving Mendes what he wanted. BOTH Logan and Mendes wanted more time for the script but were finally told in March 2014 to submit it, according to Sony emails in the Sony hacking.

Oh good grief...you do know I'm going to end up reading this tomorrow don't you!!
