Fair points made but I personally think that this review is fake. It sounds to me like he's put together bits of details and basic spoilers that have been doing the rounds and added in a few of his own ideas such as the ending to make it sound better. Surely if imdb did see it, there'd be a legit review posted somewhere on the net? It would likely be spoiler free also.

the problem is half the stuff he said has been confirmed now after he released his review.


I mean the No bond james bond for example or leaving greene in the desert.


also i really really want the ending to be true.

Here's a new article about Anatole Taubman (Elvis) from a german newspaper. It contains parts of an interview.
And Taubman says about Dominic Greene:

"He dies about 15 pages (in the screenplay) after me."

Now the imdb-guy pretends, that Dominic Greene survives.
Who's right? The imdb-guy or Anatole Taubman?

[the villain's architect]

A bad guy surviving? Apart from you only live twice I don't recall the main villain ever surviving!

No, just in FRWL, TB, YOLT, OHMSS and DAF. And NSNA.

perhaps Dominic greene does die in the script but not the film.


I will say this maybe IMDB guy got an early draft of the script? and greene dies now


it's just what he got right seems odd that he well got it right.

[Quantumofsolace007]

Have you seen this scans from the DK book? Following is written under a photo: "Abandoned in the desert by 007, Green is forced to follow the tracks left by Bond's car to have any hope of reaching safety."

So I think there is a big chance that Green survives.

interesting does Bond on set say wehter or not bond quits?

Na but blofeld wasn't the actual main villain in those apart from yolt and daf, he was more behind the scenes in those, the main villains where other spectre members like largo in thunderball or kleb in frwl, they both died

[QuantumM66]

Come on. Let's not be too naïve, and readily assume
that just because no villain (save for Blofeld) has
survived previously in a Bond movie, it couldn't
happen in QOS. Then again, Greene's survival would
somewhat contradict the two-film "story arc" Craig
and the producers have mentioned.

Having not seen the movie, I obviously can't say for
sure (very few can), but I think it's safe to say that
we're gonna be in for major surprises in QOS.

CR pretty much rewrote the rules of Bond on the screen.
It'd be incredibly naïve to assume, that QOS isn't prepared
to do the same, push the envelope - and beyond. Dan
Craig has said in numerous interviews recently, that he's
very determined to make every Bond movie better than the
last.

You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
Food for thought.

I kind of wish that the head of Quantum, revealed at the end of this film, was a slightly over-the-top villain in the tradition of Blofeld...

Yeah... his chair should spin around and it's George Clooney with an eyepatch!

[Quantumofsolace007]

NO no over the top villians!

Mathieu Amalric says that the characters of Dominic Greene and Elvis are swiss citizens in the movie:

[TQB]

didn't the imdb review say that Fields died from being thrown over a balcony? And this has obviously been proven wrong if that is indeed what the review said.

[Elvenstar]

I really hope Greene survives...
I dont want such happy end with Camille alive and the main villain killed.

Nope, it didn't say that.

[Quantumofsolace007]

it's over a month and half later and i still have no clue if ti's legit or if bond quits. and i won't knowe till November 1st

[dr. strangelove]

Perhaps Bond leaves Greene in the desert, and that's the last we see of him? They may leave it up to the audience to decide whether or not he survives.

[sharpshooter]

Perhaps. But if I recall correctly, didn't this IMDb review clearly state that a helicopter picks Greene up, thus saving his life?

Regardless of what's the truth from what's been pieced together it's more than likely we're not getting the usual Bond ending.

No-one here knows for certain. We'll know in 22 days or less though.

[Quantumofsolace007]

I have an idea of another kind of edning for QOS that fit in with the soundtrack title

Spoiler

Basically M tells Bond that Greene Survived or that he was not the head and Bond Saying something like "i never left and i never will leave untill i finnish Quantum" and walks off

i would like it as much as IMDB

Edited by Quantumofsolace007, 09 October 2008 - 03:45 AM.

[DamnCoffee]

I think that M will say something along the lines of...

\"It was quite a rash desicion for me to decide to revoke your licence to kill, I hope we can forget about your permanent leave...\"

Which Bond will reply with...

\"I never left. I really don\'t think that the service is for me, not anymore anyway... I don\'t know who I can trust, so I\'m leaving with whatever soul I have left.\"


Or something along those lines, I know the writing is quite weak but It gives you the general idea.

Whether Bond Stays or leaves I personnaly want that feeling of "yes this was awesome i can't wait for bond 23"

Which then i (like hopefully everyone else) start discussing bond 23 including discussing titles etc as well as tons of new fan art

it's just what he got right seems odd that he well got it right.

My guess is that, originally, Greene was to be killed but then they decided to let him live. I would imagine one of two things happened:

Strictly Hypothetical Scenario #1:

Forster: Those idiot reporters leaked Mat's death scene all over the net. We'll have to change it.

Craig: What if he doesn't die? We could explore what kind of consequences there would be if he's still out there, and really pi$$ed off.

EON: Mat, would you be up for another go round?

Almaric: Yeah, probably, ONE more time.

EON: You wouldn't be in the next one. We'd bring you back for Dan's fourth outing. That gives you more time to do other things in between.

Almaric: Sweet!

Strictly Hypothetical Scenario #2:

Almaric: I had fun doing this, I think I might be up for one more.

Craig: I like it, it's pushing the envelope, no magic reset button at the end.

Forster: Okay then, we'll change the ending so Mat lives.

Either way Id argue that bond 23 and 24 will be part of this "quantum" storyline.

if Greene survives or if Bond Quits that has magor implications for bond 23.

[timmyv123]

some of you guys are saying that maybe the imdb got greene survives from the script or the original draft of it anyway...didn't the imdb guy claim to actually SEE the film?
