( Oh yeah, we did see Lucia at the funeral.. My bad!)

I'd say the events of SPECTRE take place a few months after Skyfall.. I can't imagine that MI6 would let the destroyed HQ building sit for a whole year..

Who says "Welcome James" in a more sinister manner? Christoph Waltz in this new teaser OR Javier Bardem in Skyfall?

[seawolfnyy]

Waltz. Bardem's entrance was great, but he did not exactly make a sinister entrance. Blofeld's....sorry, Oberhauser's intro is far more sinister.


Who do you believe Mr. White has been hiding from all this time:
MI6
OR
SPECTRE
?

MI6

SPECTRE

SPECTRE more so, I'd say. It could be a situation in which SPECTRE is hunting down and putting down any remnants of the failed Quantum affair.

 

What was a bigger dropping of the ball as far as possible plots go:

 

Guy Haines and his unexplored-yet-alluded-to-important involvement in Quantum.

 

OR

 

Le Chiffre's possible involvement and/or position with/in Quantum.

 

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Guy Haines was always annoyingly drip-fed us and then just left. Le Chiffre I could take or leave as a freelancer hired by Quantum, rather than an actual member.

 

 

From what you know or have seen in the teaser, gut feeling; Is Franz Oberhauser head of SPECTRE?

 

YES - He is Number 1

 

OR

 

NO - Just a little fish working for someone behind the scenes

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

I'm gonna say he's number 1, THE number 1.


What does Oberhauser initially want to do:
Recruit Bond into SPECTRE
OR
Intimidate Bond into leaving them alone
?

[AMC Hornet]

Recruit. After all, they're old friends (didn't they room together at Eton, after being separated at birth?).

 

Will SPECTRE be more reminiscent of:

 

Thunderball

GoldenEye

or

Skyfall

?

[DaveBond21]

Skyfall

 

Which tagline would you prefer for SPECTRE :-

 

This time it's really really personal. No - really! No this time it really is!

 

or

 

Even James Bond was a boy once

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Even James Bond was a boy once  -  very omnious!

 

 

In 'Spectre', will the pre-title sequence in Mexico have any links to 'Skyfall'?

 

YES - Raul Silva / Tiago Rodriguez will not be forgotten by MI6 / Bond and his investigation will bring him here

 

OR

 

NO - Totally unrelated and will simply be the tip of the SPECTRE investigation lead

 

??

[DaveBond21]

Unrelated. Although I do wonder if it's the mission that M gives him at the end of Skyfall.

 

 

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

 

Oberhauser

 

or

 

Octopus Cult

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Oberhauser. The other just reminds me of 'Octopussy' too much. The sequel we never had, 32 years later!

 

How long do you think 'Spectre' will be, give or take 5 mins?

 

145mins - Standing beside 'CR' and 'SF' as a long one

 

OR

 

125mins - Just over 2 hours, like most others

 

??

[Double-Oh Agent]

I'll go with 125, just over two hours like most others

 

Bond 25 in Japan

 

or

 

Bond 25 in Australia?

[thecasinoroyale]

While I love Japan, gotta see what they will do in a country never visited before - Australia.

 

 

A James Bond mini-series set in and around the 007 universe of MI6:

 

YES - Just like 'Agents Of SHEILD', but for the UK Bond market and could have some great stories

 

OR

 

NO - Never going to work; we don't care for much else in MI6 except James Bond anyway

 

??

[DaveBond21]

In the past, I would have said no, but with 3 year gaps between movies, I will say YES.

 

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

 

Secrets

 

or

 

No One To Trust

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

NOTT.

 

'Secrets' sounds like the title of a Jackie Collins novel.

 

Cooler actor/location combo:

 

Sean in Las Vegas

or

Roger in San Fransisco

?

[DaveBond21]

Sean in Las Vegas. His style suits the background in DAF.

 

 

Preferred villain in Bond 25:-

 

Andrew Bond, not dead, but alive and well and out to kill his son

 

or

 

Dr Choppy Fingers, a crazy mathematics genius with a penchant for chopping off the fingers of his adversaries

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

You wot?

 

Given the limited options, Dr. Choppy -  a cross between the villain in The Facts of Death and John Huston's character on Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

 

Cooler actor/location combo pt 2:

 

Connery in Japan

or

Moore in Thailand

?

[DaveBond21]

I like both, but Connery in Japan just wins.

 

Preferred title of Bond 26:-

 

Bond Begins - Bond before he got his Licence to Kill  - the movie takes us through is SAS time, up to the point where he meets Fisher

 

or

 

Mission Complete - Bond has retired but he comes back for one last mission

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Mission Complete - we've gone back enough into Bond's life without losing his MI6 link totally!

 

How would James Bond partake in April Fools Day?

 

Set a gadget up to explode / leak / burst into flames / malfunction in Qs workshop and watch from afar

 

OR

 

Stick all of Moneypenny's belongings down to her desk and fix the drawers shut

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

The former. He likey when things go boom!


Alternate genre Bond 25:
Teen drama
OR
Stoner comedy
?

[The Dove]

*I shudder at the idea of James Bond Jr.-teen drama*  I'll definitely take the stoner comedy..

 

What will be the next big SPECTRE tidbit to get officially released...another teaser trailer, the announcement of the title singer, a new poster OR some details of Thomas Newman's score?

[seawolfnyy]

Poster.


James Bond in the Mirror universe. Who would be the more intriguing hero to take down the dastardly and scheming 00 -7:
The totally charismatic and not at all full of mommy issues, Raúl Silva
OR
England's fiercest protector, Alec Trevelyan
?

[Call Billy Bob]

Alec, mainly because I like thinking about Sean Bean as Bond!


Mirror Universe continuation! Who fills the Q role for the "villains, but now heroes" side?

Boris

OR

Metz ?

[DaveBond21]

Boris. Alan Cumming has come along way since 1995 and it would be good to see him in another Bond movie.

 

In Bond 25, which line would you rather M utter at the end:-

 

"We're so focused on our enemies that we forget to check our own people"

 

or

 

"You don't know who to trust, do you Bond?"

 

???

[Double-Oh Agent]

"We're so focused on our enemies that we forget to check our own people."

 

Who prefer as Ernst Stavro Blofeld in SPECTRE?

 

Christoph Waltz or Andrew Scott?

[thecasinoroyale]

Out of those two no question - Christoph Waltz

 

 

Will 'Spectre' be comparible to the older films such as 'Thunderball' and 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'?

 

YES - Same sinister organisation, major threats and same personal involvement for 007

 

OR

 

NO - SPECTRE is the only link; this will be something you can't compare to other Bond films at all

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

Not only one we can't compare, but also one we can't predict.

 

Cooler Actor/location 3:

 

Connery in Istanbul

or

Moore in Greece

?

[The Dove]

Moore in Greece...especially the rock climbing sequence at St. Cyrils!

 

Underwater sequence...which was best? The massive SPECTRE frogmen vs the good guys battle in Thunderball, Bond and Wai Lin exploring the Devonshire in TND OR Bond and Melina looking for the ATAC in the St. Georges wreck in FYEO?

[seawolfnyy]

The submarine Lotus in TSWLM. Oh wait, that wasn't one of the choices?


Cooler actor/casino scene:
Connery and Trench in Dr. No
OR
Bond vs. Le Chiffre in Casino Royale
?

[AMC Hornet]

Although Le Cercle had more class, I have to go with CR, for the prolonged tension.

 

...and the Thunderbrawl propose by The Dove.

 

 

Cooler actor/location 4:

 

Connery in Jamaica

or

Moore in 'San Monique'

?

[glidrose]

Connery in Jamaica.

Cooler double-taking animal:

Pigeon in Moonraker

Camel in Octopussy.
