As far as reasons for a Bond/Blofeld confrontation: why do we always assume Bond to take revenge for Tracy? Could not Blofeld be after Bond? For being responsible for the death of a beloved? I just happen to think of all the girls left behind in Bond's wake. He'd of course argue he did his best to prevent it. But how would this go down with the fathers of all these women? I could imagine Bond would not come across overly convincing to them...

I disagree. Blofeld is best as just a voice in FRWL. Blofeld to me was always better when we couldn't see his face. The faces of his henchmen were priceless - they were utterly terrified of him - even someone as evil as Rosa Klebb.

 

Blofeld is not linked to YOLT to me. He is a classic Bond villain from a number of movies. If we do get Blofeld, I'd like it to be the FRWL one - except we'll see his face and it will be Christoph Waltz's.

 

I agree, too. Blofeld can be used in standalone stories just fine without having to feature Tracy and her death.

The thing is:  if you don´t use the Blofeld-Tracy-Castle of Death-arch with Craig, it would be a shame.  He deserves this and could pull it off so well.

If we're going to go that route, though, it would make much more sense to just make that character an original character rather than call him Blofeld just for the sake of having Blofeld as part of this new series.  He'd basically be an original character anyway, just with the name Blofeld attached to him under these plot circumstances.

[SecretAgentFan]

I guess that´s a good idea, dalton.  Hopefully, EON/SONY will go that route.

 

With Blofeld there is probably too much baggage, and too many expectations would be attached to it.  And frankly, I don´t want a remake of anything that has gone before.

[tdalton]

I don't want to see any remakes either.  I think that they could do Tracy's storyline and have it be relatively different from how it happened in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, as well as being contained within an entirely different overall story, so long as it ends up in a similar place to how it ended previously and move things directly into an adaptation of You Only Live Twice.

 

My feeling is that, if we're going to have to bring Blofeld back (which I really don't want), then it should be for the greater good of finally bringing about a faithful adaptation of You Only Live Twice.  If we're going to get YOLT, then we also have to revisit Tracy.  If we're not going to get YOLT out of this, I'd have to question the reason for doing it in the first place, as the Blofeld character has already had his time in the sun, plus Mendes, P&W, and company aren't exactly hitting it out of the park with their re-introductions of the classic characters (see Moneypenny and Q).

I agree 100%. Thats pretty much exactly what I said in my earlier posts.  If EON is going to go this route and bring back Blofeld and Tracy, they would miss an enormous opportunity if they didn't do it with Craig..

I agree with this as well.  I'm not one for remakes, but I've always wanted to see a faithful adaptation of YOLT.  And you are right that to do that, you have to tell the story of Tracy first.  I had posted earlier that it doesn't have to be a remake of OHMSS -- but like you said. it can be a new story that wraps itself around the basic Bond-Tracy-Blofeld story arc and then that sets you up for a faithful YOLT adaption.  I'd call it a re-imagining. If we find out that Waltz is indeed Blofeld, than this is the scenario I would hope for for B24 and B25.  I've always thought (or hoped) that this is what Logan had in mind when he presented to the 2-film arc to EON.

[seawolfnyy]

I would love to see Blofeld finally get his proper end and see a proper adaptation of You Only Live Twice. However, the problem I have of reintroducing this story and this point is that we only just got over the Vesper arc. In the books, there were 9 books (8 novels and 1 short story collection) between the events of Casino Royale and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. So this is waaaaay too early. Besides, I feel that for the weight of the story to properly be felt, you need that buildup for Blofeld, like we had in the 60s. The Blofeld saga is always a trilogy. In the books, it went Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, You Only Live Twice. In the films, it started with You Only Live Twice (ironically), part 2 stayed the same, OHMSS and concluded (poorly) with Diamonds Are Forever, but Blofeld himself was teased in 2 films and SPECTRE existed for 3 before Blofeld's introduction. For it to work properly this time, you'd need Bond 24 to be Blofeld's introduction, part 2 be OHMSS (or a version thereof) and finish off with Shatterhand and the Castle of Death. It would have to be a 3 part arc. Problem is, with Casino Royale being Bond 21, OHMSS for Bond 25 is too early.

[Guy Haines]

I can see problems with the scenario above also. A common theme of the Craig era has been seeking rough justice. Bond wanting it for Vesper's death. Silva seeking the same for his treatment by M. Bond falling in love again and losing his lady to sudden death again would seem, in this series of films, too much like a re-run of CR 2006, and too soon. If, that is, the return of Blofeld in Bond 24 is being set up as leading to a final vengeful confrontation in a Garden of Death.

 

But as I posted earlier, this is a new series of Bond films, albeit with nods towards the old ones. Unpalatable as it may seem, for me it is as if the slate was wiped clean with CR2006. It means that Bond can, and has encountered "old" characters as if they were new ones with new backgrounds. Moneypenny as the former field agent, for example - was there even a hint of that in the films up to 2006?

 

It means the film makers could remake OHMSS, or alternatively the "Bond falls for Tracy" part of it within another story. In this new rebooted Bond universe Bond hasn't met Tracy yet. The previous post from seawolfnyy has of course noted a problem with this.

 

Which brings us to Blofeld.  As the slate has been "wiped clean" with the first Craig film, does his conflict with Blofeld, if it ever happens, have to include Tracy at all? In this new series 007 might have different reasons for going after Blofeld. Or, as Dustin has posted earlier, might it not be Blofeld going after Bond? (That's how Blofeld, the faceless one that is, was first introduced in the film of FRWL - in part seeking revenge for the death of Dr. No)

 

I think one point I'm trying to make is that the Craig era has been in part about new Bond adventures - with the obvious exception of CR2006, unless we count that as new since it had never been filmed as a typical Bond movie before - whilst reintroducing old, recurring characters, starting with Bond himself. We know these people from the previous films but they are grounded in a new set of adventures not necessarily linked to what went before, whether in the previous films or the books. The same could happen if Blofeld is reimaged in Bond 24. The whole Bond-Tracy-Blofeld triangle may re-emerge in some form not necessarily as an OHMSS remake, unless that's what Bond 24 actually is. Or that triangle may not feature at all. In starting all over again in 2006, the producers have given themselves a lot of leeway in what they do with characters old and new.

[Shrublands]

 

My bet is on the press conference being held on 4th December. 

I'm going the say the day before, December 5th.

 

We shall see, Shrublands!

 

 

There is now a rumour doing the rounds that it will be the 4th

(That's how Blofeld, the faceless one that is, was first introduced in the film of FRWL - in part seeking revenge for the death of Dr. No)

 

I do think that any involvement Blofeld might have in this rebooted series must, at least at some point down the road (I'm certainly not advocating this for Bond 24) involve Tracy or some other character standing in for her.  They very well could go the route of introducing Blofeld as someone seeking revenge on Bond for the death of a colleague or subservient, although that would put us squarely in the "this time, yet again, it's personal" category, albeit this time from the point of view of the villain.

 

But, I do think that the big draw to Blofeld, the reason that he's the big bad of the Bond franchise, is the personal toll he takes on Bond by killing Tracy.  Yes, he leads SPECTRE, but his big moment is Tracy's death.  Now, I wouldn't be beating the drum as loudly for Tracy's return as I am if EON had already filmed something that was at least in the ballpark of resembling Fleming's You Only Live Twice.  But, since they haven't, this otherwise unnecessary return of Blofeld can actually be made worthwhile by finally getting us to a faithful (or, heck, I'd even take a Casino Royale-type of) adaptation of You Only Live Twice at this point.  In order to get us to that film, Tracy needs to return. 

 

But, in the grand scheme of things, I do think that Tracy is an imperative inclusion in a multi-film Blofeld arc.  If they look to totally reinvent the character (like they've unfortunately done with Moneypenny and Q) and then don't include his biggest moment in his war against Bond, then it would stand to reason, at least for me, that they would be better off just taking that new character that they've created and call him something other than Blofeld.

[glidrose]

Do you guy really believe Waltz will play Blofeld or that Blofeld will be the film's villain?

If so, I've got some swamp land I can sell you...

For those of you who have short memories, three years ago around this time fan forums were all abuzz that Ralph Fiennes or Michael Sheen were going to play... Blofeld. Don't believe me? Do a google search. Oh yeah, and Javier Bardem was going to be a rebooted Jaws. He had the looks, so it was said.

I'll *almost* guarantee you that Blofeld will NOT be in this film.

Bringing back Blofeld is a dumb move. A fan-boy dumb move. Only fan-boys want it.

 
Some years ago, there were many people who *almost* guaranteed (even days before Craig was announced as new Bond) that Brosnan would be in Bond 21. Many *almost* guaranteed that the casting of Craig would be the death of the franchise (some still believe this actually happened). Others *almost* bet their lives that Skyfall would never make it past the 600 million bucks. To me, the rumor of an invisible Aston Martin in Bond 20 was absolute nonsense and I was sure it won't happen.
 
It's a bit unfair to defame everyone who endorses the idea of a Blofeld return or plays around with it as "stupid fan-boy", just because you happen to not like it. Dismount your high horse and don't forget you once were a "stupid fan-boy", too (don't say you weren't - we all were  ). A Blofeld return will happen one day, maybe not in this one and not in the next one, but it's inevitable. 
 
This is my fifth Bond movie "on the news front" and I've learned (the hard way) how easily false rumors can be produced and spread purposely. But even before that, I've learned not to believe anything that isn't officially confirmed or so blatantly obvious that it can't be denied. And I, for one, can't see anything that actually confirms that Waltz will even be in this one, let alone be Blofeld. But it's less than two weeks from the press conference, the traditional time of speculation. Let people have their fun.

*squeak squeak*.

I think I hear a mouse. Oh, hi Stromberg!

There were also people who guaranteed that the Bond franchise would find its second wind if the producers dumped Timothy Dalton and got Pierce Brosnan. There were some people who guaranteed that Daniel Craig would breathe new life into the franchise. There were some people who guaranteed that with a director like Sam Mendes on board, the resulting film would be a critical fave.

Hey, guess what. They got it right!

It's not unfair to dismiss the Blofeld's coming back rumors as dumb fanboy stuff. It is dumb fanboy stuff. What possible value would that have to anybody who isn't a fanboy? Will it sell more tickets? Nope.

I was never a *fan boy*, certainly not one who spent time trembling at the thought of Blofeld coming back and what the producers could do with him and does this mean we'll finally get a faithful YOLT remake?

Will Blofeld reappear in the next HUNDRED years in an EON film? Maybe. If the character (or the books) become public domain, then others will certainly reintroduce the character. But I'm not talking about a hundred years or even twenty. I'm talking only about Bond24.

"Dismount your high horse". Huh? I'll have you know my horse has been clean and sober for five years now. A little eccentric, but that shouldn't be confused for continued drug use. But I'm surprised you can see that far down. Hey is it true what they say about the air being really thin up there?

 
 

I totally agree with tdalton on this. Blofeld was Bond's greatest enemy not because he was the head of SPECTRE, but because he perpetrated the greatest tradegy in his life. Of course Blofeld may be reintroduced without bringing back Tracy's plot, but in that case I'd much rather see EON creating new original character. Blofeld would be nothing more than marketing trick -- he'd simply be just the next villain (with famed name). In my opinion, naturally.

 
I disagree. Blofeld is best as just a voice in FRWL. Blofeld to me was always better when we couldn't see his face. The faces of his henchmen were priceless - they were utterly terrified of him - even someone as evil as Rosa Klebb.

I agree with you both in part. Blofeld killed Tracy. Without that he's just another villain. I also think Blofeld was at his best when he was faceless. Though not only do I have no desire to see him, I certainly have no desire to see Christoph Waltz play him.

As I've said before, unless you plan to reintroduce Tracy, then there is absolutely no reason to reintroduce Blofeld. Besides, aren't the producers all about moving forward?

[Fairbanks]

First of all, Irma Bundt killed Tracy. 

 

Second, you're looking at Blofeld through fan-goggles. Blofeld does not owe his iconic pop culture stature to the fact that he killed Diana Rigg and made George Lazenby cry. Like it or not, the lasting popular image of Blofeld was defined by Donald Pleasence and reinforced by Mike Meyers. For 99% of people who have heard of "Blofeld", it's just a name that evokes an image of over-the-top supervillainy, white cats, bald heads, and volcano lairs. The name still has a lot of resonance and "iconicity", and that's the only reason to reuse it. Same deal as Moneypenny, Felix Leiter, etc. Remember when Moneypenny became an action girl and Felix Leiter regrew his leg? If Blofeld is rebooted, most people won't lose any sleep over the fact that the new Blofeld isn't associated with precisely the same plot point as the old Blofeld. I sure won't.

Actually, "dismount your high horse" is perfectly usable in the English language - but we typically say "get off your high horse" rather than "dismount", although they mean the same thing.

You have to remember that for so many of the audience, Blofeld IS an original character and can have any traits the producers want. Just like Moneypenny, Q and a male M are new to so many of the Bond fans who have only even seen Craig's films.

 

That is why I think that if they bring Blofeld into it, he will be introduced just like Q and Moneypenny in Skyfall. With no backstory and no link to anything that has gone before.

To the majority of the audiences, pretty much every character other than Bond could fit that description. 

 

They've already done enough damage to established characters with what they've done to Moneypenny and Q, who had been two of the more beloved characters in the franchise up until Skyfall.  Moneypenny's been turned into an annoyance on par with EON's version of Mary Goodnight, and Q is so incompetent I wonder if he'd have trouble managing a Radio Shack, let alone heading up the technology for a major intelligence outfit.  I'd hate to see them give Blofeld, or any other great Fleming characters, the same treatment.

 

But, it's not really about where the characters come from, it's about where they ultimately go in the storyline.  I'm not advocating a straight remake of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.  Not at all.  I'm not advocating a faithful adaptation of the entire Blofeld Trilogy either.  The only point that I've been trying to make is that if you're going to bring back Blofeld, then it should be with a faithful adaptation of You Only Live Twice as a part of the endgame.  And if you're going to go that route, then that necessitates Blofeld and Bunt taking out Tracy.  It's just that one action that is necessary.  They can build Tracy and Bond's marriage into whatever other story they'd like to tell.

I've just read a short interview on the MI6 website with Daniel Craig, in which he's asked about his interpretation of Bond, about his films, and what we can expect of Bond 24. The interview ends with this remark from Daniel Craig;

 

"The world's turned *******  weird and there's plenty we can start mining and taking out. If Blofeld turned up again, it wouldn't be a bad thing."

 

Neither confirming nor denying, although the text about Blofeld is emphasised in the interview. Wishful thinking by MI6 about the villain in Bond 24, or is there something in it, coming from the star of the show himself?

It's an interview from 2012, so I guess it depends how much Craig knew about BOND 24 at that point. I assume he was just talking hypothetically, but who knows!
