I'm glad they had the ending they did without White and Haines. Definitely would have forced a trilogy and Craig would have had to continue playing rookie Bond. Now we can look forward to the next installment of MI6/CIA versus Quantum and maybe we'll see White and Haines return then.
Well, what can I say? How was I supposed to know that quick cuts and shaky camera are all the same to you? For me they make a difference as night and day. In Bourne 2 the action is really edited in a way that it is not in the frame most of the time. It really is cut out of the movie, so to speak. This is not at all the case in QOS. This doesn´t change the fact that even I feel reminded of Bourne when I watch QOS, for example because of the quick cutting. But I do have the gripe that in Bourne 2 most of the action is not there. Whereas in QOS it is there. If you can´t enjoy it that´s fair enough, or rather un-fair enough.
By the way, I have no love for american cop drama ;-) .
Not really. He'd gotten past Vesper by that point so maybe just a 'Bond takes on Quantum' film.
I think so but wonder if Skyfall is a big success, if EON may held off on Quantum for another film before bringing them back.
From the end of Casino Royale most likely. "She gave the money in exchange for your life" or something like that.
My take on that was that he said M was right about him wanting revenge and being blinded by "inconsolable rage" during the early scene before they started to interrogate Mr. White. Good question, not sure who knows the correct answer.
That reminds me of Christopher Nolan, who recently said that he prefers to have the audience think and combine for themselves, rather than spoon-feeding them obvious things.
See previous comment. M said about Vesper that she had an Algerian boyfriend and that she sacrificed her life for Bond´s because she loved him. And M said about Bond that he is blinded by inconsolable rage. Well, Bond found out about Vesper´s secrets from Greene and from Yussef, so he learned that Vesper did in fact sacrifice herself for Bond, and he quelled his need for answers surrounding Vespers demise.
So there´s nothing unclear.
I think this is right. Bond finally gets his answer about whether Vesper betrayed him or not. That answer is more important to him than revenge (otherwise, he would have killed Yusef).
From M's perspective, Bond is blinded by "inconsolable rage." But throughout the film, Bond wants not revenge, but his answer. That's why he says, "I never left."
Unless it is in fact an extended edition.....
M realised this but Bond at the end of CR couldn't it was only when Greene provided Bond with the info to track down Vesper's boyfriend and all the evidence was discovered that Bond realised this, he also realised that he was unlikely to trust in the same way again, a lesson learned, his guard being up from now on, the arc completed that creates James Bond.
Hence while all the Bond begins element should be done with and fully formed 007 should be the one presented in Skyfall.
It's not rocket science.
Bingo. I'm glad that the scene was deleted. White is still out there and a threat. He's kind of like Blofeld but on the henchman level.
If quantum is supposed to be the new SPECTER, after Bond #7 leaves then?
I wonder who is going to make that edit.
And how are they going to fit the music score if they cut the action scenes to double length?
I'm sure Wilson talked about Skyfall and the reporter made a reference to QoS which had a short running time.
I don´t see though why any Bond film should have to run for a certain time. If it closes its arc properly, then it shouldn´t matter how long it is.
I know that this edition is described as " not avaiable ". But can/could this have been the definitive edition of QoS or is it just fake?
No, Same run time as the normal film.
It's probably wiser they didn't use it, as there was a 4 years gap between both films.
We KNOW what the original ending was. It was Bond killing Mr White and introducing himself to Haines. So I see your point but I'm afraid you're looking too much into it
How about for the Bond 60th Anniversary we get a “Daniel Craig Collection” box set in 4K/UHD that contains his 5 films including an extended director’s cut of Quantum of Solace?
I wish. I wouldn’t want Marc Forster near James Bond ever again though.
Would EON be able to create a QOS Redux without Forster's input or would the Directors' Guild of America step in on his behalf? Jimmy Page wanted to do a whole recut of Led Zeppelin's film for a reissue, but he said that the DGA warned him off in no uncertain terms - something about protecting the creative content of their members' work. Anyone know for sure how this works?
