- The PTS will be in black & white and change to color at a crticial point (perhaps the gunbarrel?)
- Scuba diving is in the 1st act of the film
- Whole film will be shot with quite a bit of of handheld cameras and will feature a lot of other nontraditional Bond lighting/camerawork

Empire reveals that CR will have a very different look for a Bond film and some spoiler plot points.


http://www.empireonl...y.asp?NID=18246

On the pre-title sequence:-

it is in black and white is new, as is the news that the change to colour will come at a crucial point.


As for the new look in the rest of the film we are told:-

In the meantime, we can expect lots of handheld cameras and equally un-Bond lighting/camerawork.

A bit risky I think, the whole black and white. Sounds very very interesting though.

What Bon-san said.

My bet:
The first colour will be the red of the gunbarrel at the end of pre-titles. Welcome to Oz Mr Bond. :tup:

Nice find, Fro. Thanks.

Little worried about the whole handheld camera thing. Hate that.

I like the idea of the PTS being black and white. I can see that working.

Scuba diving in Act One? I don't think we heard about that in the Latino Review script review, and that pretty much told us Act One scene by scene.

Zen I also like the black and white while disliking the handheld camera shaking thing.


I bet you it turns to color with the RED blood of his last "00" target and then the red blood melts into the title sequence.

How can you like the horrible news that the PTS will be in black and white?!
It will just feel like a comedy. It kind of breaks the fourth wall by, for no reason, changing the look of the film to how movies looked in 1955!!!

This pretty much ruined everything!

I think the color has to be the gunbarrel, as Stax reported, in the screenplay, the gunbarrel was placed after the PTS and opens on the main titles.

I really like the sound of this. Black & white pre-title sequence sounds really interesting, and I think it'll work out well. And handheld cameras sounds good too, at least if it's done right. It worked really well in Bourne Supremacy. :tup:

Picture this (it geeks me out):

Bond kills his second kill in Lahore, in the bathroom after a fight. On his way out, he tosses a sardonic line, then shuts the door. Ala GOLDFINGER, we *smash cut* to BLACK.

Then, suddenly, the DR. NO beeps come up on the soundtrack. As soon as they end, the Bond theme kicks in full throttle and the white dots start moving across the screen. Bond is here.

My guess is the hand-held stuff will be employed judiciously. At least I hope so.

In a perfect world, everything about Bond past (and Bond as a unexperienced agent) would be over after the PTS. And in that case, a PTS in black and white could be a good idea. Also nice to see some scuba diving again :D

But handheld cameras... :tup:

Haha, I know what "film noir" lighting and composition is and that's definitely it. They wouldn't dress the set in all blacks and greys if it wasn't in B&W.

The big "hint" is the lighting on Bond's face in that pic.

i'm exited about the handheld camera cause always makes it fell like your actually involved with fights, watch The Bourne Supremecy or Collateral to see what i mean
