I think it's a given that more grounding was given to the villain and his endgame in SPECTRE. It was one of the concerns listed in the notes, that the scale felt too small.

This is an aside, but the news about these leaks keeps getting worse. SONY may have suspending filming on SPECTRE.

Sony isn't the only source of funding for SPECTRE, so we'll see.

Whoa. Wasn't expecting to hear that! They're not that far into filming, so it's not a big deal, should they suspend filming, but It clearly show Sony is in dire straits. With Spectre rumored to be in the mid $300millions for the budget, they've already lost $100million from the hacks, maybe even more, so they must not have the money to continue filming. Hell, filming in Rome is going to cost a reported $60million! Should filming get suspended It could delay the film to possibly summer of 2016 or even fall. Then again there's always MGM to sole finance without Sony, so we'll see what happens. Maybe another studio will come it, but that's highly unlikely. Again, we'll see what happens.

Skyfall reportedly cost about $200m-$250m. It took over $1.1b - $850m more than the budget - will being approximately $50m over budget really make such a big difference when everything is taken into account? 

[Matt_13]

Uh oh.

[007jamesbond]

so the budget stuff may be true? I guess but maybe the early email leak may be not?

Not necessarily - They may be basing it on the "leak" reports - but most likely, from whats been reported, yes - they're true.

DCIJB - your post has been deleted.

 

This thread very clearly says 'PLEASE do NOT provide links'.

 

I wish you adhered to this. There are no excuses. 

[univex]

By jove! It´s all gone to hell!

 

or

 

They´re just using the sony leaks to mess with our heads in a giant counterintelligence move while filming a cracking film.

[coco1997]

Ugh...Suspending filming of SPECTRE due to the leaks would be a catastrophe. 

[Harmsway]

I was hoping the leaks wouldn't get worse, but they have. There's a lot of irresponsible reporting going on.

 

I'd advise us all to ignore what's out there and get on with looking forward to SPECTRE.

Hear hear! Close the damn thing. It´s becoming a monster. It will get worse. If we had know the difficulties they had while making say, TND or QOS, we all would be in panic at the time. Just let the guys do their thing and carry on appreciating filming reports and leads like the clapperboards, and the first paparazzi pics and all. I say close the thread and avoid the leaks, or the ship will sink.

Topic closed.

Mystified which bit of "Don't" confused.

 

Must be less subtle next time. There'll doubtless be a next time because some cretin will ensure it.

 

 

DON'T.

And for those who still don't get why we are so sensitive about it:

 

In addition to the DAD script affair Bryce relayed above, we got a shot across the bow in 2006 just for having a link to a site (Latino Review, IIRC) that reported details from the leaked Norensberg CR script. It's as simple as that: it's our heads on the block.

It may not (in whole or in part) be published, reproduced, disseminated or otherwise utilised by anyone who obtains a copy of it.
