And, I must say that, that piece of music they used in the reveal of the title is just terrific.

I have a bit of a girl crush on Monica Bellucci ..... extremely happy she's been cast..... and didn't Scarlett Papava in Devil May Care use the fake name Lucia Rossi??

 

As for the title, doesn't leave much to the imagination does it? Was hoping for Risico. BUT it would be amazing if Bellucci's character was Blofeld and Bond 25 focuses on her, with the title 'The Property of A Lady'

That would work, no?

 

Happy about them casting an openly gay actor as one of the leads. Hope it's going to break stereotypes about what roles GLBT actors should play in action films.
Luke Evans for Bond 7!
 

That's all.

No foolin'? That could be kind of interesting - some kind of gang war between Quantum and SPECTRE. Like Goldeneye: Rogue Agent, but good!

I'd like there to be a Quantum link here. What would people prefer - Quantum to be an early version of SPECTRE which is taken over by new management, being Blofeld. Or Blofeld's SPECTRE simply arriving and destroying Quantum?

If the rumour is true, I'd bet that SPECTRE is Quantum's successor organization.After QoS Quantum was compromised. And I don't think Mr. White is Blofeld.

I certainly hope so! Spectre tying with CR/QOS (perhaps Skyfall aswell?) and White returning would be very interesting.

It would successfully unite the Craig era into something comprehensive.

Makes me wonder what BOND 25 (sure to be Craig's last) has in store.

If the White news is true, then I'm instilled with a great deal of confidence they've mapped out BOND 25 already. Perhaps the most exciting news from today.

That, actually, would be genius.  And it would help Waltz to be only in one film - should he not want to stay longer.

 

I am very happy that Quantum will be tied into Spectre.


By the way - as someone else already has asked: where was Michael G. Wilson?  Has he stepped down?

What I'd really like is if SPECTRE was behind Quantum all along - a division specifically charged with more covert financial & political operations. I'd prefer SPECTRE not be Quantum re-branded, but rather the real organization putting together and controlling Quantum in the first place.

I could get behind that, provided it was a fairly faithful adaptation (cf. CR) and not another 'Nolan brothers braintease'.

 

I love Christopher Nolan, but his recent films have been going off into self-satisfaction territory. Still, him and Craig doing an OHMSS Bond film would be fantastic.

Would love for that rumor about Jesper Christiansen to be true.  Tying up loose ends.  It would almost justify Quantum of Solace a bit more in my eyes, as I didn't think that much of it.  Seeing it pan out more could help.

Having White return would absolutely help lift Quantum. It honestly looks like we're gearing up for the Daniel Craig films to be one coherent story.

Perhaps they plan to bring to life the original plot from TSWLM, where a new baddie stepped in to take over SPECTRE, only this time it will be Blofeld (a Quantum operative) stepping up to take control and rebrand Quantum his way. Given that Quantum was badly exposed by Bond through Mr, White, and likely fell somewhat into disrepair, it might make sense for Blofeld (if there is a Blofeld) to decide to do away with the old guard and take the reigns. I also would not be surprised if Blofeld wasn't Waltz, but instead Belucci.

The return of Quantum and Mr. White would be really satisfing.

 

Interesting point SAF, where is MGW? Why was Babz even on the stage?...

 

Hope Thomas Newman can win me over this time around.

 

DB10? Why not DB7? Anyway finally we'll get a real Bond car chase, hopefully.

 

Would have guessed they would have thrown Ian Fleming a bone for this one.

That's all.

I'd be behind that idea for Bond 25. The Property of a Lady could act as the OHMSS of this particular story arc. Then Bond 26 finishes it with Shatterhand as a more accurate adaptation of You Only Live Twice.

 

Andrew Scott is actually one 2 in the cast as Ben Whishaw is also gay.

This being true, I don't think that it'd help QoS much....The thing with the film was that it was badly made. The story was decent and had lots of potential, but execution was terrible. 

 

As for today's news, the title gives too much away. They could have used a more poetic title.
