Very pumped - didn't think I would be, but it's growing on me so much. Classic Bond for a modern generation.

 

 

Overall with the 'Spectre' title, cast, crew and car, do you think this will...

 

Top 'Skyfall'

 

OR

 

Not hit the standards

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Top 'Skyfall'. I think this film is being set up to be classic Bond in every sense of the word.

 

 

 

What of Quantum:

They will be connected in some way to SPECTRE

OR

They're dead and SPECTRE is a seperate entity altogether

?

[The Dove]

I think that they will be connected in some way to SPECTRE.

 

Right, (lets get the inevitable question out of the way)..the gunbarrel for SPECTRE.. will it be back at the start of the movie this time?

 

YES or NO?

[seawolfnyy]

Yes. Mendes wanted it at the front of Skyfall anyway....

 

 

 

More likely to survive the events of SPECTRE (I keep nearly writing Bond 24 haha):

Christoph Waltz

OR

Monica Bellucci

?

[Call Billy Bob]

Christoph Waltz, if he's playing who we think he is 

 

 

More likely to be the "good" Bond girl:

 

Monica Bellucci

 

OR

 

Léa Seydoux

[seawolfnyy]

Léa Seydoux. As you stated Billy Bob, if Waltz is in fact playing him, then I'm pretty sure Monica Bellucci is playing his wife or Irma Bunt.

 

 

 

Okay, this is dumb but, which is the correct way to write it:

SPECTRE

or

Spectre

?

[AMC Hornet]

SPECTRE.

 

(Note the italics.)

 

Will M, Q and Moneypenny accompany Bond into the field

 

or

 

Will they (and the writers) be content to remain the home team

 

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I hope they remain the home team - it made the older films so endearing to know they had Bond's back in/around London. Out in the field...I mean, I don't want to see the head of MI6, the Quartermaster and the secretary now popping caps and helping Bond fight the terrorists in battle. They have his back at home, let's leave it at that and make their scenes enjoyable and something to look forward to like the older films.

 

 

 

The morning after the day before. Still like the title?

 

YES - Spectre has it all for classic Bond

 

OR

 

NO - I think it could have been something a little less obvious

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Yes, SPECTRE has it all for classic Bond. I wasn't sold when it was rumored, but I once I saw it on the screen, with the car and the cast, I knew it was perfect.

 

 

 

Now that SPECTRE is returning (and probably that other guy), will we see other rebooted characters such as Kronsteen, Dr. No or Largo

Yes

OR

No

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I was thinking about this on the drive to work - I think, somehow, yes we will! Why the hell not? They will be done so differently to what we are used to, but also with great care and affection for the past for a new generation and I, for one, would love to see new interpretations of Fleming's villains for a new era.

 

 

Are we heading into the era now of rebooting more stories/characters with the obvious lead of 'Spectre'?

 

YES - The floodgates are down to bring in old characters and plots with a modern twist

 

OR

 

NO - Spectre may be here, but we will get lots of original ideas and characters now, not just recycled ones

 

??

[The Dove]

I think NO..I feel that EON is not going to go overboard in rebooting all the old characters. I still think they'll want to introduce new characters and elements into the series..

 

 

WIth both Sam Mendes and Ben Whishaw knowing but not telling who the SPECTRE title singer is, do you have a feeling that it'll end up being

Adele OR Sam Smith?

[seawolfnyy]

Of these two, I'll say Adele. Keep as much of the Skyfall crew together (although I think it may be someone else, entirely).

 

 

 

With SPECTRE re-introducing SPECTRE, does that mean Bond 25 will be:

an OHMSS remake

OR

a proper YOLT adaptation

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I keep thinking it will be a new 'OHMSS' remake, or reboot, I'm not sure...that's what I feel out of the two.

 

 

Will Craig's Bond come across Tracy di Vicenzo in his few films left?

 

YES - It will be part of the natural 'Spectre' cycle

 

OR

 

NO - She has been used and will not be rebooted

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Yes, it will be part of the natural "SPECTRE" cycle. I can't keep shaking the feeling that the SPECTRE arc will be 3 films and not 2.

 

 

 

Is Skyfall:

a standalone film

OR

when viewed as a whole (with Bond 25) be the first part of the SPECTRE arc

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think it will be a standalone, used to bring critcs and fans back after 'Quantum Of Solace' but now used as a "fresh" template to bring back Quantum and introduce Spectre.

 

 

Will the head of Spectre be a woman?

 

YES - Maybe Bellucci? Maybe an unknown or unseen woman? Either way, it could be Craig's big twist in his Bond outing.

 

OR

 

NO - Stick with tradition and the run of male figures in film, we will have a male nemesis, possibly one E. Blofeld.

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

I'd love for it to be Miss Bellucci, but I think they'll stick with tradition and it will be Waltz as E. Blofeld.

 

 

Will Silva be retconned as being part of SPECTRE:

Yes

OR

No?

[The Dove]

NO..

 

Will Judi Dench's "M" finally have her real name revealed in SPECTRE ??

 

YES or NO?

[seawolfnyy]

Well, her real name WAS revealed in Skyfall (Olivia Mansfield), so I'm going to say no.

 

 

 

Will Bond get the girl at the end of SPECTRE:

Yes

OR

No

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Vesper, no. Camille, yes. Severine, no. So let's go YES for tradition!

 

 

Will we have a band singing the theme for 'Spectre'?

 

YES - Contrary to rumour, a popular band will take the theme

 

OR

 

NO - Too many good, high-profile solo singers out there for it

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

No - too many good, high-profile solo singers out there for it.

 

 

 

Will SPECTRE clock in at:

Over 2 hours

OR

Under 2 hours

?

[sharpshooter]

Over two hours.

 

In SPECTRE will we see:

 

Bond's flat

or

Bond's office

or 

neither?

[The Dove]

Instincts tell me we'll get a view of Bond's office, something we haven't truly seen since OHMSS...You can't count the virtual reality training scene in Die Another Day.

 

The title song of SPECTRE: Will it be called SPECTRE OR will it have an alternative title, i.e. "Another Way To Die" or "All Time High"?

[Agent 76]

It will have an alternative title.

 

 

In SPECTRE, will we see Bond wear a Royal Navy Commander's uniform:

 

Yes

 

or

 

No

 

?

[seawolfnyy]

Yes. We haven't seen it since Tomorrow Never Dies. I think it's time.

 

 

 

Sequence in Mexico:

PTS

OR

short filler like Austria in QoS

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I reckon it will be a filler, nothing more.

 

 

Will 'Spectre' dominate "This Or That" until at least New Year?

 

YES - Lots of this or that's to speculate and hope for

 

OR

 

NO - It will soon die out with the next bunch of speculation

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Yes, lots of this' and that's to speculate and hope for.

 

 

 

Will the DB10 survive SPECTRE:

Yes

OR

No

?

[thecasinoroyale]

You know what - YES. Why not. Let's see it survive!

 

 

On that note, will the DB10 be more gadget-laden than the DB9 in 'Casino Royale'?

 

YES - More weaponry and who knows what else

 

OR

 

NO - It will be a powerful car, but still minimal on gadgetry and assets

 

??

[The Dove]

NO- It'll be a powerful car, but with minimal gadgetry, which I would prefer, but still would provide the audience with lots of fun.

 

What type of snow suit should Daniel Craig's Bond sport when taking to the Austrian slopes.. a standard white one, a la Roger's in A View To A Kill, a sort of dark grey/ black one that Pierce wore in The World Is Not Enough, OR a Big Bird yellow on a la Roger in The Spy Who Loved Me?

[seawolfnyy]

Let's go with the Big Bird yellow because why not?

 

 

 

Is Madeleine Swann:

a fellow 00

OR

not an agent

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Not an agent. It's getting too...predictable (?) having a female MI6 agent working with Craig's Bond, we need him a little more solo again.

 

 

I'm breaking 'Spectre's speculation! For Christmas, do you think James Bond...

 

Works

 

OR

 

Rests

 

??
