I thought he said that Kleinman has seen an incomplete cut.

Not incomplete,,just unfinished, Matt... could mean the cut without the finished titles sequence and unfinished Skyfall soundtrack, hence the reason previous Bond music was used in it's place..

If we are to believe someone who has access to Kleinman has seen something, maybe the newly registered chap has too.


If that's the case, why aren't we more concerned about the amateurish dialogue?

It's not that bad, is it Shark? We can't really say anything with this official / un-official report and words are just words on screen and could be 100% better on screen...!

If it is true, I'm really not keen on the fact that M is indirectly responsible for the death of Bond's parents.

Way to split hairs dove :-p

Anyway, I think the review is garbage. Time will tell, though. As Vaux pointed out, any one of us could have produced a similar review based on everything that we've learned since November. And as Shark pointed out, the dialogue doesn't ring of a screenplay in production for four years.

Quite right. As Matt, Shrublands and others have said, I see nothing here to suggest it's real, so we have nothing to worry about for now.

I agree. The line with Bardem isn't bad at all. I can easily imagine Bardem delivering that, and making it sound incredibly unnerving.

The post was deleted. Does this mean that it was so fake that IMDB just took it down, or it was too true so IMDB took it down?

Very positive #Skyfall test screening. "Best looking Bond film ever" with "most emotionally draining & action packed end of any Bond film."

Apparently there's been a test screening of a THREE HOUR cut of Skyfall in London. Refusing to read reactions. REFUSING I TELL YOU.

Well the poster did disclose some stuff from those call sheets that we weren't supposed to see (M waking up in the Aston with Bond outside and the subsequent conversation comes to mind). That is copyright material.

As for the twitter posts, the first one quotes that lone IMDB poster, while the other just relates that the post exists.

I'm in two minds about this. The amount of attention it's getting. I wonder if it is true. Saying that though, even if it isn't. Kudos to the person who wrote this. It may very well turn out to be fan speculation, but it's got people talking. We need Skyfall, right now!

Social networking is a curious thing indeed. Validity does not come from fact checking but the who covers it and how much it's covered. In this scenario, two other blogs tweeted about it. Possibly because they read our discussion here. Yet, as a result, we read it and it only furthers our suspicion. If they cited where they read it, this would be so much easier for us.

However, I'm down for a three hour Bond flick.

I thought he said that Kleinman has seen an incomplete cut.


The words were,

"As I write [mid-August 2012], the title sequence for Skyfall is still in production, as is the film. I have seen an unfinished screening of the movie and in my opinion it's going to be a triumph."

I guess this depends on who the 'I' is. Who is writing the interview? Kleinman, or the Incredible chap?

That's just people talking about the fake IMDB review and believing it.
Us talking about it here (and forums like this) has helped draw attention to it too.

They were both writing. The sentence above is clearly stated by Kleinman. The characters would be bold and red otherwise.

I agree, the format says it's Kleinman's response. And the interviewer wouldn't be asking the question if he himself had seen what stage they were at.

Ironically, the ambiguity arrises from the bit in brackets that was added for clarity.

"As I write [mid-August 2012]"

I suspect that all of that should have been in brackets.

Either way, anybody involved would (have to) say positive things about the film.

I hope it is not just PR.

Hey, it could be true!

Incidentally, that's the bit of the "review" that convinced me it was fake, as it was practically lifted word-for-word from the call sheets and shooting schedule. The chances of a genuine précis of the film containing the same phrasing are close to zero.

Good point - I stand corrected.

I've been doing a lot of that this week, being stood and corrected. Any more of this and it will become a permanent part of my demeanor.

Jim, ref mind boggling. Yup. 'Seen a screening of an unfinished product', or an 'unfinished screening' which meant he left half way through. I just smiled politely and moved on, to my new demeanor.

Well 3 hours sounds a bit epic?! I presume there will be some cuttings of scenes/moments not deemed fit in the final product if true?

Crikey, my excitement for 'Skyfall' has rocketed recently with all these buzzes screening reports, new pics and what-not... very exciting times.



Oh, and just 50 days until James Bond returns...!!

What´s the longest Bond? OHMSS?

Well, in times of TDKR one could expect Sony to give "SKYFALL" at least a 2 hour 30 minutes chance...
