Yes, I suspect as much. I quite agree with you, she won't die. Don't know about her being the main girl again though. But I'm not one of her detractors. Not my favourite Bond girl, but eh. I'm more of a brunettes kind of guy, you see? Chemistry wise, I see what people mean. But maybe their dynamic has changed with time. She's looking quite....french, these days. Something about her reminds me of a young Faye Dunaway. Now if she had a Faye Dunaway attitude (circa Thomas Crown), I'd be over the moon.
However, whenever I hear her in SP, I am reminded of Connery's words in FRWL. "She should have kept her mouth shut".
Tom used her appropriately in MI:GP where she had little to say.
I think Bond had better chemistry with Severine than Madeleine, she was stunning as well, it's a shame she didn't stick longer.. but it did make me sit up in the cinema when she was dare I say "casually" killed. I don't think anyone saw that coming
Severine and Fields were the most wasted Bond girls of all time. Perfect, beautiful actresses underused as hell. A true crime.
Spot on.
The opportunities they had with Fields,especially,as she was so intelligent and quirky,was wasted.
(Same with Mathis imo ).
Depends how they want Craig's Bond to go out I guess.
I have no doubt now that B25 is going to show Bond happily married. He's found the happiness and solace he was looking for. Then that gets disrupted/taken away from him and he looks for revenge.
Does Swann get killed? Or may be there are children... I am cringing slightly at the thought.
Will be interesting to see what happens.
Does Craig's Bond get a happy ending? I think that was SP and B25 is going to go dark again
But I don’t think Mathis was Bond’s type. :D
You know what ? As I was typing that earlier I thought some smart arse might comment hahaha..!!
Oh I don't know, I think that the casting has been excellent. I think the Scooby reference comes from the scenes where they are driving around London at the end of the film?
I don't care for such dismissive terms either because we are talking about some Internationally acclaimed actors here. Any problems with Spectre can't be laid at the feet of Ralph Fiennes, Ben Wishaw or Naomi Harris.
No they cant,can they Mendes,Newman et all ??!!
CR and QOS are the best Craig films. I'm hoping Cary Fukunaga gets us back to that quality. I'd like B25 to be shorter than SF and SP and more dynamic/energetic. No dreary Newman soundtrack will help.
I'm confident he could even make Craig and Seydoux believable.
+1 for all of that. Spot on.
Harris is miscast as MP imho. They are trying to have it both ways with her - desk jockey as well as wishful action girl. It doesn't work with that character imho. Morevoer, as I've noted before, Harris does come across physically as more of an action girl and seems relatively uncomfortable in a demure behind the desk capacity, at least imho.
Regarding the term 'Scooby', maybe it's best to think of it as a term of endearment then, because it's not going anywhere.
So damn true.

Don't you think that this is the way he plays the character? Maybe this ex-military man who has assumed M's mantle is snarly by nature? And the way Bond acts in his office he has every right to be. He isn't as emotionally involved as Dench's M
Again with MP, she has resigned herself to a desk job but at heart she's the outdoor type? It isn't anything to do with the acting. Or at least it isn't from how I see it.
I like Whishaw, because he is a more contemporary reimagination of what a Quartermaster would be like today, and works for me. Plus, he seems to have good chemistry with Craig. I don't feel the same way about Harris.
Fiennes and she seem 'forced', at least for me.
Irrespective, I think 'Scooby' is here to stay. It's not so much a commentary on the actor's abilities as the characterizations and roles in my opinion. It's very MI and 24.
Graham has in the past asked Ralph and Naomie if they are returning, so perhaps he will ask Ben about B25.
Something I didn't like at all.
That will be a must-watch then! As you write, Norton have brought up Bond in the conversation before, so hopefully we'll learn more about Whishaw's involvement in Bond 25.
Agree. Never cared for how Craig portrayed Bond in SP.

Next year he’ll return to the cloak-and-dagger world of James Bond for a third outing as spymaster M.
Fiennes is not about to let any 007 secrets slip. He says Bond filming — delayed by the departure of director Danny Boyle and his replacement by Cary Fukunaga — is supposed to start in spring. He insists he has yet to see a script.
It's also got to be said that Hollywood A-listers aren't just eating Wheaties and hitting the gym. They have access to top-shelf "anti-aging doctors" who prescribe all sorts of wonderful stuff. That's how these over-the-hill men put on heaps of muscle and cut fat in no time, how they recover from on-set injury so fast, how their wrinkles go away and their scars disappear.
Combine that with good lighting, makeup, and CGI, and I think anyone can look pretty good in a hundred-million-dollar film.
Shame it didn't work for Kara 'Bloody' Milovy.

They reference the recent Norwegian report of a "B25" production applying for a rebate from the Norwegian Film Institute against production costs. And how that's transparently Bond 25.
But what I hadn't seen before was the dollar figure: up to $8.8 million against production costs. That is not an insignificant rebate. Leads one to believe a more-than-short portion of the film, or at least its filming, is intended to happen there.
