Yet everyone is still missing the point that the f word isnt even in a line of dialouge. It's a script direction for christs sake. It's used to add emphasis, but outside of script readers, no one is going to know about it.

[Shrublands]

No, the bit Harmsway mentioned is most definately from the chase scene. As they also show Craig filming Bond running to his car, and I doubt he'd be running to his car if he were dying, at least not running the way he is in that clip.

Your talking about two separate shots, that have been edited together, they are not necessarily from the same sequence in the film.

Edit: just watched it again.

In fact you don’t see Bond running at all in the shot where he almost gets run down. In the shot with him running he has no tie, in the shot with him almost getting run down he has a pulled open tie. They are also in different places, the “run down” shot is on a different bit of road to the one outside the hotel.

They're from the same sequence of the film. Bond runs into the parking lot and almost gets run down by the abductors car.

Well, if you say so.

What happend was, I had only seen the video when it was grainy on those other websites, so it was hard to tell he was wearing his clothing different. In fact, I think they cut away early in the first video, because in this one the car that almost hits him seems to stop as he places his hands on it.

[Bond#9-GeorgeKemp]

(just quickly, and sorry if I sound like an ) Got to commend Jimmy and Shrublands for being really nice and adult there, something that I've seen other people miss but you two put that aside very gentlemanly; place feels like home again!

What do the other script readers think of the ending of the script and maybe the set? e.g. How does it differ from the book? Also, it would be good to get a small overview of the ending in spoiler code (as I don't know how to do it ) for those who havn't read it. (Understand if this isn't possible)

Thanks , GK

[JCRendle]

[ spoiler ] [/ spoiler ]

anyway, I love the ending, it's going to be a very cool Bond moment, one that will be remembered and talked about.

[DamnCoffee]

Totaly agree there

What do you think about the ending concerning Vesper and how it differs from the book?

I read in Empire that it almost moved Gary Powell to tears!

p.s. I know I'm starting to sound like a complete computer idiot but I still can't spoiler code so if someone else who has read the script can post a quick overview of the ending, that'd be awesome, thanks

Vesper dies in a much more cinematically dramatic manner than in the book. It remains a suicide though.

Also, when people talk about "the ending" being potentially one of the greatest Bond moments, they tend to be talking about a different scene that follows Vesper's death in the movie

[JimmyBond]

Basically:

Spoiler

Bond fights a henchman in a building that's collapsing into water, Vesper is locked in an elevator cage (one of those old fashioned types). After Bond does away with the baddie he runs to get her, but she makes sure the cage stays locked, the elevator plummets into the water. Bond swims after her trying to save her but she pushes him away and allows herself to drown. On paper it's not very moving, but I imagine if Arnold knocks one out of the park this could be a very moving end to Vesper indeed.

There you go

[DamnCoffee]

that scene was very moving on paper, Jimmy, and i'm looking forward to seeing it on film IMO CR is gonna have the best ending ever. for CR

so is Vesper still a double agent, as per the book, working for redland or its equivalent in this movie thereof?

[JCRendle]

well

Spoiler

she isn't working for the Russians, but she is a blackmailed into being a traitor {as per the book)

[Harmsway]

They're from the same sequence of the film. Bond runs into the parking lot and almost gets run down by the abductors car.

Well, if you say so.

It's true. Bond will apparently almost be hit by a car twice - once when he's poisoned, and then later. Because you're right - in the "Filming the Casino" footage, that's from the poisoning.

But where I'm basing on the abductor's car moment from is a series of photographs that was briefly posted and then taken down for legal reasons - it showed the majority of the pre-car chase sequence, including the abductor's car attempting to hit Bond (and in the photographs, it was a very different kind of attempted hit than we glimpsed in the "Filming the Casino" footage).

I think it worked very well in the script. The ending is especially moving... I can see Craig and Green acting the hell out of that and making it one fantastic moment.

[Bond#9-GeorgeKemp]

Agreed, when reading it, it conjured up alot of very powerful images (I'd be especially eager to see how Danny handles the scene and the aftermath) and if Arnold is as good as he has proven himself to be, we're in for something very special.

[iexpectu2die]

Argh put me out of my misery - what is Bond's immediate reaction? I mean when he (I assume) swims up. Distraught? Angry? Already numb and in 'the bitch is dead' mode?

He breaks down and sobs. It'll be a very moving moment.

Well, I don't know if it's more than OHMSS.

Spoiler

Honestly, what happens is Bond has dragged her body out of the depths and pulls her onto the ground as people watch. He desperately tries to bring her back to life with CPR, but he can't. Somebody tries to pull him away, but he won't be moved. He starts banging on her chest and cries out.

Very, very tragic.

I believe the images are still on Dedicated to Daniel MSN group


That scene will be very sad - I mean, Lazenby in OHMSS wanted to cry, he did cry - but he was made to do it again - this time Bond will cry.
