Yes, this is worth considering. Quantum could conceivably be finished. Bond exposed much of their membership. That might have been enough to shut them down as an Organization going forward.
Thus with Quantum easily explained away as done and gone, in the wake of their exposure and their failures at both Royale and Bolivia and the Canadian caper too, it opens the door for the re-introduction of Spectre!!!! :)
substitute one for the other??..... i would rather just continue on with QUANTUM
Funny thing is though, the order of CR-QOS seemingly also follow DN-FRWL quite well, and SPECTRE lasted for three more movies.
In FRWL you can say SPECTRE was exposed following the lektor being stolen and having its structure weakened with Numbers 3, 5 and their top agent Grant dying. Hence, this is why TB begins with SPECTRE being bankrupted and needing money - leading to a more elaborate scheme by Largo compared to the first two films.
With QOS, if we are assuming that Greene is one of the "numbers" or top officers in the Quantum organization, then most of it would probably be leaked out as well. In addition, Mr. White (who I'm counting as one of the heads as well) has probably been ousted or demoted following his exposure to Mi6, and already one of Quantum's top agents Yusef has been taken into custody.
So if Logan does plan on doing a GF-TB duo following Skyfall, I can see the team reverting back to Quantum being more bold and drastic compared to the low key schemes of CR (where they were essentially trying to play stocks) or QOS (control through environmentalism).
But what would be the point of that? Besides? You would have all the Spectre fans coming out in protest as well! Just give Quantum BETTER villains! Thats all it needs.
Someone brought up having SPECTRE take over Quantum, perhaps a 'gang war' style or whatever.
That'd be interesting.
On the other hand, exposure to the extent that we saw in the Tosca scene in QoS, conceivably could be the end of Quantum.
However it wouldn't take much for filmmakers to contrive a rebuilt Quantum. It doesn't have to be dead but it would also be quite easy to explain that it was.
They created Quantum for a reason? That reason i am guessing will be Bond 24 and 25 now? Or atleast i hope so!
This isn't funny, this is pure trolling.
Building up to this point took 3 films, and I think that it is Logan's hope to have this new Bond era reach this same point in either Bond 24 or Bond 25. If you think about it, Quantum is referred to in CR by the presence of Mr. White, and then QoS gives us a glimpse of the organizations oppressions much like DN, and FRWL did respectively. Continuing to mimic Connery era, the third film in the Craig era is Skyfall, a standalone much like Goldfinger. This means that the next logical step would be to have Bond 24 be either like TB where we see Quantum undertaking a world domination type scheme where Blofeld is introduced slightly, or a YOLT type film where Blofeld is the main villain and becomes Bonds main nemesis.
Personally, I hope that Bond 24 is a hybrid of TB and YOLT where Bond must thwart a Quantum scheme and ends up coming face-to-face with the organizations leader Blofeld. Rather than use Bond 24 as a film to continue Bonds character development, I want the film to develop Quantum and the character Blofeld. Unfortunately though I wouldn't be suprised if Logan wrote Bond 24 as a re-imagination of OHMSS and use it as yet further emotional character building for Bond so that going into Bond 25 he will have a personal hatred for Blofeld, and Bond 25 would end up being like YOLT the book and see Blofeld die, ending a two film story ark.
Agreed. I think the end of SF is the biggest indication yet that it's harking back to the Connery era.
The fact that most people you speak to now consider Craig and Connery as the best bonds also goes someway to explain the route their going.
John Logan is a brilliant writer in my mind and I'm counting down the days already
This has happened constantly throughout the promotion for SF. Logans name mentioned by cast and crew but no mention of Purvis and Wade. I really question sometimes of how much involvement they had during the writing process of SF.
I recently watched the documentary script to screen on the DAD bluray. The film may have its problems but the documentary is definately worth watching to see how these two worked on the film. Considering the time they had to come up with a screenplay for that film you would think that the end result would have been far more interesting. The documentary does show though how much Lee Tamahori injected complete and utter nonsense into the final film. (There is a moment in the docu where Tamahori is talking and BB is in the background biting her nails thinking what on earth have i hired!)
I think P & W would have had quite a lot of involvement but who knows how much was changed after their draft of the screenplay by other writers, the director and Craig.
Love this one...
;) =D> B-) :)>-
In the PTS of Bond 24, 007 could be investigating an unrelated mission, only to discover some sort of computer document indicating that Quantum is involved.
