:confused:Has anyone seen the photograph doing the rounds of Miranda Frost and Gustav Graves - with Graves looking very tense in a Tux with a greenish background?

If you have, have you noticed that Graves has a scar on his forehead, I think it's above his left eye? It does not appear on a lot of the publicity photo's of Graves, but it clearly does on this one, and I know for a fact that when I met Toby Stephens briefly during the filming of DAD in London he hadn't got one then.

What caused that?

I have my own theory about how he got this.... does anyone else have any sugestions though?

It's from the fencing/sword duel with Bond earier in the film.

We discussed this in the very lengthy trailer discussion, which is probably why you missed it. My guess

Spoiler

Bond gives Graves the scar on his forehead during the fencing match at Blades. He doesn't have one on his forehead in the scenes right before the duel but does later at the Ice Palace. And it fits with his remark to Bond when he greets him at the Ice Palace, that Bond had "left a lasting impression" on him. The scar.

Tounes, you have use the spoiler tag especially in topics not marked spoiler. Evidently I am not spoiler free, many people are and they like a warning. Anyway you beat me to it.

[Colonel Moonie]

Sorry but I think that that is wrong! Why? Well if you look at the scar in the picture it's kind of round in shape where a scar made by a cut from a fencing sword would be more of a line.

Any other ideas on what causes it then?

[Mourning Becomes Electra]

Moonie, have you seen those swords they fight with, they're not foils they're more like sabres or broad swords, they can gouge as much as slice, and of course injurires duing a fight can occur duirng a fall etc as well as from the weapon itself.

True MBE, anyway what was theory Moonie ?

[C. Tounes]

What was your theory I mean...

[Colonel Moonie]

Perhaps he isn't all that he appears to be? This is just a hunch..... not based on anything.

What do you mean ?...
