Probably enough in there to warrant it going into the spoiler section.

Thanks to Premiere for the link.

Fascinating article - but the part that caught my attention was on page two where Amalric mentions that "Every day is a sort of work in progress sprirt on this set. There's a new writer that has arrived. We have new lines and it's changed."

There's a new writer? And what's changed?

This is the first I have read of a new writer - or did I miss something?

First thing I've heard of the "new writer on set" as well. I'm interested. I hope there aren't many folks who panic about that, because it's obviously nothing to panic about at all. Amalric, Craig, Forster, and Wilson all sound very enthused, and I'm enthused right along with them.

I really liked the part about Greene showing off a corpse to Camille to make a point about betraying him. Dark stuff. We're in for a good film.

Maybe already said, but I think it's clear now where Mr. Greene got his name from.

I wonder if it's meant to be just a great coincidence in the story or if they'll write it in that he changed his name at one point to conjure up such eco-friendly imagery.

I didn't. The clever name is still part of the Bond legacy. They'll continue to play with them. The writers create a guy who makes ecological health his business and just randomly also give him the name 'Greene'? I don't think so. That's a conscious play. The only question is whether they make an issue of it in the film.

Nah. Too 'Romancing the Stone'.

Well, I think this answers the question about www.greenplanet.com.
I think a little viral marketing is in place...

I was more thinking that the emerald is needed to switch on a laser that will trigger a satellite that will launch a nuke that will erase London from the map or something... You know, DAD like stuff, which this movie seems to be heading towards, but the Thunderball cheering way

Actually, I would have to disagree. The domain was first registered back in 2003.
That would be a lot of forethought for EON to register a domain back then for a movie yet to come.

New writer, eh? Hmmm, this is really interesting.

I always got the feeling that Sony rather rushed/pushed Bond 22 to meet its start date, despite the threat of the writer's strike. A script was turned in right at the deadline, and it probably was decent enough to go ahead and start filming with, especially if they writer's strike didn't last way too long.

I wonder who this other writer is.

"I didn't act in Marie Antoinette," he says excitedly. "I just spent twenty seconds. You know why I went there? Nobody wanted to do it because every French actor would say: 'Oh, that's too small.' I didn't care! I just wanted to be with all those girls, with those great costumes, with all those tits, you know. All those breasts!."

"Bond Baddie Likes Tits" would have likely been the title had The Sun run this article.
