Like Finney's character, all we have on Whishaw is that he will playing Q. There's been no photos or reports from filming (that I can tell) and we don't even know if he has filmed his part yet. The production on Skyfall has been very secretive for a big budget film, and parts that they don't want us to know about, we don't know.

Do you think his character will be the same as Llewelyn's (mainly a gadget man), like Burton's (the Weapons man) or something new?

[Vauxhall]

I understand Whishaw filmed a decent chunk of his role late in 2011, specifically he was involved in the scenes shot at the National Gallery with Daniel Craig. It's noticeable that we haven't had any official photographs of him or Silva though. I think the character will have evolved somewhat since Llewellyn/Cleese though, so I imagine he'll be something of a computer and communications experts, in addition to having a solid understanding of weaponry.

A gadget/technology man, I would think. But not a Desmond Llewelyn clone.

[thecasinoroyale]

Is he actually confirmed as the character name 'Q' or is this the closest we can relate him to being a gadget-man?

I'm sure he will be very modern, with a hint of naivity, humour and genius about him. It was those elements, and his chemistry with Bond, that made the Llewelyn character so affectionate and enjoyable for Bond fans (bonus was his age, a cantankerous gadget man!) so I wonder if Whishaw will try capture that chemistry with his Bond now and any future films he comes back for.

Fingers crossed they give the character what he deserves, and they give the fans what we deserve.

I think it was... hmm

[thecasinoroyale]

Was it somewhere in another thread someone saw/heard his character was listed as just 'B' - which led to is it just Boothroyd, he doesn't like the name so shortens it to just B? Maybe Bond gives him the name Q instead later in the film for some reason and he sticks with it?

I don't know, I may be wrong! I just hadn't heard the name was confirmed.

[JCRendle]

B? Now, Boothroyd, everyone knows that's M's pet name for me, how about hmmm, Q for Quartermaster?

Well, I suppose it'll do, until I can think of something better

[Marketto007]

Ben Wishaw's character is listed as "B" on several Call Sheets, but on the Script pages dialogues, is "Q".

You certainly wanted to say: the rumored Script pages that you never saw and would never ever have gotten in your hands...

I don't think anyone knows what your talking about... Lets move on quickly

Lovely weather, isn´t it?

[JCRendle]

So, about this rumoured cameo of John Cleese... **Shifty eyes**

[SecretAgentFan]

Yes! Him and his weird disguises as young British actors...

[Marketto007]

I never posted "photos of script pages" here, it was a simple reproduction of a call sheet being sold on Ebay. I'm I clear?

I'm done with misunderstanding troubles. Move on...

PPK or P99? lol

I hope Ben is playing the same Q as Desmond, we've never seen a younger and modern Q before and that would be enough for me along side Q simply returning. I wouldn't mind seeing Bond joking around with Q and being all arrogant towards him and Q putting him in his place so to speak, IMO. Now that I think about it, Ben is so young maybe he hasn't been made Q just yet.

I'd say the Walther PPK, 7.65 millimeter, with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. The American CIA swear by them

Maybe... at the beginning of SKYFALL he has to earn being Q... and at the end of the film he finally has become the Q we all love. In the script, it is written that the famous "Q"-theme must only appear in the final scene of the film.

[S K Y F A L L]

Could Ben's character be promoted from Boothroyd to Q?

Edit; although I think thats a name not a position?

Major Boothroyd was Q's real name

[Shrublands]

So, B will be Q – or BBQ as he’s affectionately known. Available throughout the summer at branches of B&Q, (the popular DIY store) - More unashamed product placement.

[Royal Dalton]

Is he licensed to grill?

[thecasinoroyale]

Flamin' hell...that's my BBQ pun out the way.

Thanks for clearing that 'Q'uestion up guys. God, this thread is as bad as a Roger Moore pun or something!

[Trevelyan 006]

Burn!

[S K Y F A L L]

Boy, did I miss the mark on my last post and thanks JC. So maybe the B on the call sheets is for Boothroyd and he may still not have been made Q?

I've been wondering if Bond uses a gadget to bring down that helicopter on SF manor, built into the DB5 or a gadget along. I can't help but also think of that scene of Silva underground holding up a radio, is this something technology related, is Silva threatening Bond with it somehow?

When and where is this BBQ going to be?

[PPK_19]

"You burn me, now you want my help?"

Haha BBQ, nice one Vaux.

Credit to Shrublands for that one. It's a good 'un!

I heard they've got Snoop to blast some rhymes for the Q Dogg.

[SecretAgentFan]

Too bad Queen cannot do the soundtrack.

Ok guys, all these Q puns are Q'ute, but can we try and stay on topic?
