I'm not going to spoil it for you but its well worth a read.....

    Doesn't someone on here have a digital copy? Any way we can get screenshots, perhaps in the Spoiler thread?

    That will come on Thursday.

    Could you not post some of the interesting titbits?

    The press have picked up on some stories from Empire:

    Daniel Craig argued with Sam Mendes on Spectre shoot
    http://www.new-magazine.co.uk/news/view/72939/Daniel-Craig-argued-with-Sam-Mendes-on-Spectre-shoot/

    DANIEL CRAIG became embroiled in a number of bust-ups with director SAM MENDES while filming new James Bond movie SPECTRE.
    The actor has reprised his role as the superspy for a fourth time, marking his second 007 collaboration with Mendes after 2012's Skyfall, and he admits the pair clashed numerous times on-set over the course of the shoot.

    He tells Empire magazine, "I felt the need to push Sam probably harder than I should (when working on Skyfall), and he kicked back and pushed me and we've done the same on this (Spectre). We just push each other. We blew up at each other a couple of times."

    Mendes also concedes he argued with Craig on Spectre, but blamed the bust-ups on the difficult nature of the shoot.

    He adds, "It always felt like it (the arguments) led to something better, and that we needed to let off steam. You get cranky. God knows, there's been difficult s**t on this movie. Every single person has either been injured or ill. People have been off who've never been off in their lives before."

    Craig suffered a knee injury while shooting the movie earlier this year (15) and had to take time off to undergo surgery.


    Is Christoph Waltz playing Blofeld? Sam Mendes addresses Spectre's big question
    http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a669505/is-christoph-waltz-playing-blofeld-sam-mendes-addresses-spectres-big-question.html#~poXv4yQf03g96k

    Ever since Christoph Waltz was announced as Spectre villain Franz Oberhauser, fan speculation has run wild about his true identity: 007's arch-nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

    Now director Sam Mendes has addressed the question head-on (sort-of), telling the latest issue of Empire (which Mendes coincidentally guest-edited himself) that the character has been discussed at length by the Bond team.

    "The B-word! We talk about it all the time. It's the great figure from the Bond vault, as it were," Mendes said.

    "There was this big spectre hanging over the movie and the franchise, which is Blofeld, and what happened to the supervillain. That's all I'm going to say."

    He added: "There's some big stuff the movie is moving towards. There are depth charges you hopefully don't see coming."

    The filmmaker also took issue with fans demanding to know if Waltz is Blofeld before seeing the film.

    Responding to the criticism over Star Trek Into Darkness's John Harrison/Khan reveal, Mendes said: "Why was there a backlash? There's a narrative as well. The naming of a character is part of a story.

    "The audience cannot and should not be given - and I'm not confirming or denying anything - information that the characters do not have. And preserving tension in the narrative of a story that is a riff or an acknowledgement of the iconography of Bond over the years has been crucial.

    "Otherwise you have taken an audience out of the narrative before it's even begun."

    All will be revealed when Spectre, starring Daniel Craig and Léa Seydoux, debuts in cinemas on October 26.

    The arguments pretty much corroborates what my gf told me. My gf is a makeup artist and she did makeup work for an actress who doubled for Bellucci and was an extra. Anyway, this chick was basically going on about how there were a few arguments on set that involved Craig and he just came off as cranky more often than not and in one instance demanded that some of the female extras be removed from certain scenes because they towered over him.

    The Heineken ad is really neat. This is how you can homage the arse out of Bond and get away with it. It's a lot of fun. Really nice to see DC in full Technicolor for once!

    That is exactly how I feel about it. :)

    This already sounds like one of the vintage greats. If Newman uses some of these cues in the score, I smell a bona fide classic on our hands

    God, let's hope he does. He didn't use Skyfall well at all.

    I don't know if this news should have been spoiler-tagged. But all I know is that I feel a slight 'breeze' of disappointment now :-(.

    Cheers for that. Does sound classy and atmospheric.

    As for the Heineken commercial, I thought it was fun and amusing. For those unfamiliar with the Bond films, they would be wondering what the hell that bit with the hat was all about. "Why on earth would the dame throw a hat at the villain?"

    I read the new Empire yesterday, plenty of new pics and (without giving away spoilers) Sam Mendes and DC discuss the 'gunbarrell sequence' which was shot on their last day of filming. So another fresh one for DC's 4th outing.

    I have only skimmed through the Empire coverage and they have sections on:

    Mexico PTS
    Austria
    London
    Behind the Scenes of the Production
    Interviews with the key actors.

    It does feel as though they've even scratched the surface with the film, there's so much in it.

    One thing I did read, which you probably already know, was that the explosion filmed in Morocco was the largest explosion ever captured on film (beating Tropic Thunder, the previous record-holder)

    Could that be a reference to MGW's absence at the beginning of filming?

    There was a picture of Michael G. Wilson on set of the Rome sequence. I guess his first public picture, where he was wearing a blue winter coat.

    Am I the only one who was a bit shocked about Michael's looks? He looked as if he had been very sick recently. Almost like he underwent some kind of chemo therapy.
