Mr. White is back?

Δ

Hm. Last we heard of him, he said CASINO ROYALE and QUANTUM were shit. Not that I disagree...

He's not a bad actor, though. I really wish they'd just stay the fuck away from Quantum and forget about it.

I liked Quantum as an idea, it just was not used to any much effect. Could have thrown that out of the window. So it looks as if we get both Quantum and Spectre? Who'd have thought?

But wasn't there an ALLEGED deleted scene where Mr. White gets killed by Bond?

Maybe it will stay deleted if he's back. I liked his character though.

If it's deleted it never happened, no? White was fun, should have used him more.

He later backtracked stating it was a misunderstanding from the press. I don't buy that: I reckon booze brought out the truth, as it often does.

Maybe Mr. White will be sharkfood for S.P.E.C.T.R.E.

Piranhas are the way to go.

That would be a fun way of putting an end to the Quantum nonsense.

Agreed. It'd make a great PTS, too.

Yeah, I think it'd be really cool to see White get killed off in the PTS. Either by Bond (doing SPECTRE's dirty work for them type of thing) or by a SPECTRE agent or whatever. Maybe Bond is chasing White and SPECTRE's guy gets to him first.

Either way, if White is in the movie it seems like they're going with "SPECTRE hostile takeover of Quantum" type of thing. Or eliminates them period.

Mr. Vanilla and Quntdom are best left on the ash heap of Bond history.

He was the only good thing about Quantum. Wouldn't mind seeing him back as long as it's in an extremely limited role, just because it's time to move on from boring-ass Quantum.

Forster's direction probably rubbed him the wrong way. I can't blame him.

The other Bond Mi6 said & confirmed he return by the same actor Jesper Christensen.

Jesper Christensen has wrapped filming for SPECTRE… Seems as though he'll have a role similar to that of CR in terms of screen time, though that was kind of expected. MI6 posted this article relating to the deleted scene which killed him off in QOS along with Guy Haines.

The ending of "Quantum of Solace" left viewers with a few unanswered questions, one of which was the fate of the Quantum kingpin, Mr. White. Originally, however, his whereabouts were not to be in question, as filmmakers wrote and shot a scene involving both Jesper Christensen and Paul Ritter (Guy Haines) that would wrap this storyline up. The fact that the scene was left on the cutting-room floor opens the opportunity up to us for James Bond to confront Mr. White in Sam Mendes' forthcoming SPECTRE (2015). It has already been confirmed that Christensen - having last been on set of a Bond film some seven years ago - will be back for at least one more Bond adventure. But, today, MI6 rolls back the clock to examine what was missing from the end of "Quantum" and what might have been White's fate.

The cut scene was set to involve 007 confronting Mr. White and the traitorous Guy Haines; it was also to include the iconic "Bond, James Bond." delivery in a nod to "Casino Royale", wherein it was also delivered by Daniel Craig in the film's final scene. The scene was shot with Daniel Craig, Jesper Christensen, Paul Ritter (Haines) and Marc Foster on April 14th 2008 and came midway through the 103-day schedule that ran from early January to mid May. The decision to cut was finalised later in the post-production process, when reflecting on two key factors: the story as a whole and the future of the franchise.

The decision to cut what was to be the final scene in the picture seemed to hinge on whether to reserve the option to use Mr. White in future films and continue the Quantum story arc. This question perhaps came moot when EON Productions acquired the rights to Blofeld and SPECTRE from the McClory estate in 2013.

Marc Forster also added, at the time of production, that the ending of "Quantum of Solace" as it stands was a more natural conclusion to the story he wanted to tell.

"It was just felt that [this] other scene took you in another emotional direction and it felt like, where it [ends] now, Bond had found his quantum of solace and this storyline is completed. That final scene was more like a hanger-on..." - Marc Foster

A couple of versions of the scene were filmed: when Hanes realises he is not alone he demands, "Who the hell are you?" The answer to audiences was obvious, so Foster first felt he might leave us in suspense with Bond staring silently at the villain. A second option filmed by the first unit also has Craig uttering the "Bond, James Bond." line.

"In one way I think it's not a bad thing [that Bond doesn't deliver the iconic line]. The line will always be there and the line will return. The great thing about Bond is that Bond always gets reinvented. Turning things upside down isn't a bad thing..." - Marc Foster

MI6 understands that the plan was to have 007 dispatch with both the villains, with the last shot seamlessly sewed into the iconic gun barrel motif that was saved for the end of the film. Whichever of the dual motivations was stronger, the move to cut the scene opened up the option for Mr. White to return in a third - and possibly final - 007 adventure. SPECTRE, it seems, will rise from the ashes of Quantum...

Has this scene surfaced yet anywhere? I never knew the details of this scene. Couple of things peaked my interest:
- That the Bond, James Bond line would have been placed similarly to that in CR
- That the last frame was to blend into the gun barrel which,
- Further on from that, would mean the bookends of CR and QOS would have been quite nice, with Bond killing off two enemies at the end of QOS, as he did in CR's PTS, and the last frame erupting into the (full) gun barrel.

That said, I'm glad he wasn't killed off, because I always liked Mr White and Christensen.

The alternate ending never surfaced. Many were expecting it would finally be unvield in the Collector's Edition blu-ray, as there was also a commentary for the film being recorded. But then the MGM problems came along and put that all to a halt, and since then there hasn't been any interest in releasing a new QOS blu-ray with more features.
