Bond 24 Press Conference Discussion Thread

I favour a Soviet approach to QoS. Airbrush it from history.

Don't. Belluci's character has "Sacrificial lamb" written all over it.

Why? We only know her name, don't we? Am assuming Monica is the lead Bond girl, and Lea is the secondary Bond girl, so if anything, Lea would be the one to die.

I bet David Arnold is at home right now doing a rendition of "Vesper's Theme" by banging on his piano keys with closed fists.

Is that official or a speedy Photoshop job?

I don't think your average joe would get the octopus reference and would simply see another window broken by Dennis the Menace. I didn't even see an octopus until it was pointed out by people here.

Looks legit, as it's high-res.

Official. Posted on the official Facebook and Twitter feeds.

It's definitely a teaser poster aimed at the fans to go crazy for. For average Joes, it's just a poster that says "Bond is back". Then there's American Joes asking "why specter spelled wrong?"

I suppose there will be a proper teaser poster by around April.

I think both these chicks are going to die. Would not surprise me at all if Bellucci turns out to be "Blofeld", but make no mistake about it, she's not THE BOND GIRL in the traditional sense. Then again, tradition has been thrown out the window with Craig's films. Who knows? I mean, SKYFALL did a pretty good job of taking TWINE and making it seem fresh and relevant...almost as if TWINE had never existed. So I wouldn't be surprised if they go right back and crib the relationship between Elektra and Renard, and transfer the dynamic to Oberhauser and Scaria.

Bond is going to believe he's seducing the woman married to the world's foremost terrorist, only to find out he's sleeping with the real power behind this couple. Or, at the very least, Scaria is a hot, sexier version of Irma Bunt.

Ben Whishhaw at least looked more presentable as a tech geek than Matt Taylor did last month, but Whishaw still dresses like he's got no girlfriend or wife.Where are the women in his life telling him to wear some decent clothes?

Whishaw is married to Mark Bradshaw.

He doesn't "go in for that kind of thing."

Interesting how no plot details were announced with this one. At QOS' press conference they announced that it was a follow up on CR, and at SF's they released that two liner that said M's trust in Bond is tested in his most personal story yet or something. Though I suppose having Spectre as the title gives a little bit away, and teases whether Blofeld will actually feature in it.

What kind of a name is "mark" for a woman? Must be an English thing.

The title alone certainly tells you what this film will be about as much as SF's description. They'll have to release an official description soon though.

Maybe. In less enlightened days, men would designate a new female member of staff as a mark.

Didn't Mendes say they were returning to the snow? If so, does that suggest a ski chase? Ski mobile chase? Action on snow?

Cocaine?

Hopefully this turns out to be a trilogy...

SPECTRE
2PECTRE
SPECTR3

SPECTRE vs Quantum

Oh, okay. Thanks. I'm 73 years old; sometimes I don't understand you kids' lingo. Because, for a moment, I thought you all were suggesting he was in relationship with a man...you know, a guy.

That would be disgusting even by English standards.
