    You're correct, sir. But when one is given the assignment for an "overhaul", it usually means a page one re-write. However, and to the point...--

    Recently I was accused of "being quiet".

    As I said at the time, I was far from quiet. I was in constant communications with posters that actually like Bond and I continued chatting about the little morsels I knew. None of what I have reported is a lie-- a release date may have changed, but I, and others, were not lying about what we knew, lol!

    Ten days, or more ago, I posted to readers that the "overhaul" that was reported in the PL article (and made me lose my shit), was exaggerated.

    I reported to those that care to read my nonsense, that the script was only being "polished with the same story, same characters that was there in the previous drafts" (when I heard this, I went to a trusted source on this site, and he knocked this point home).

    I stand by these claims that I stated over a week ago. I suppose variety gives a little more insight.

    Others who I chatted with-- ten or more days ago-- will agree to this too: I said there was no overhaul. It was a polish (and smarter people than me on this site, knew that too (they knew coz they r smart; me dummy)).

    The only thing I was not privy to at the time was that the draft we were talking about came from CF himself (holy. and. shit!!)

    Continuing on this point, I was disturbed to hear that my/or other sources could be validated if, blah, blah, blah, and all I have to say to that, respectfully, is this: no one is lying to us. I can't speak for others, but I believe those (outside of the internet scavengers), have legit information. But--

    Information in the film world changes moment by moment (a small sample: Bombay (I think), was locked for the PTS for SF; that changed to Istanbul in a blink.

    Bombay was locked, until it wasn't, and things moved to Istanbul for (I think), better tax incentives).

    @PanchitoPistoles, you say my "source(s)" can be validated if Jamaica holds up. Uh... okay. But, I said more (and I suppose, risk your wrath):

    We should see how much has changed in the scripts from my reporting on this site, to the date now-- but I can assure you that anyone in production will report B25 was:

    #1 In Jamaica for scouting, led by Gregg Wilson (and he stayed at Ian Fleming's GoldenEye while he was there)(as a secondary source, he may have been there with second unit).

    #2: Cadiz or Matera Italy will stand in for Tuninsia (or maybe Greece? which I didn't hear about???, but Tuninsia (or another Middle east city, but I heard the Big T), unless exorcised by Burns)

    #3: Malek agreed to being in B25 BEFORE Oscar night (what is happening now is crossing "t"s and "I"s)

    #4 as I have said since Day 1: I believe Norway will happen, but I didn't hear about Norway from my "sources" until the past week. Repeat, I admit, I never heard about Norway, unless from this site (therefore admitting shortcomings, lol);

    #5: although Variety reported March 4 as the start date, I never said that was the date-- I said March 2019... And, shit, I will still say that shooting will happen in March 2019 (if not, shoot me on this).

    EDIT:

    #6: this dummy speculated (from ppl closer than me), that Boyle was fired; that he wanted to change the "culture of Bond. This has been documented long enough from me...

    Things change on a film set. But this is what I know.

    None of these things are a lie.

    Good stuff, Peter!

    Rami Malek’s acting in Mr. Robot shows that he could very well play a psychopathic, unstable character which could work against a calm, cool Bond.

    Big casting news - Billy Magnussen is EON's top choice for Leiter-esque CIA agent role
    https://variety.com/2019/film/news/bond-25-cast-billy-magnussen-bond-girls-1203151088/
    Producers are continuing their search for two female roles — one a new MI6 agent and the other an accomplice similar to Olga Kurylenko’s character in “Quantum of Solace” — the main villain, and an American CIA agent similar to Jeffrey Wright’s in past installments.

    EDIT: And Collider with their own exclusive reporting that Malek is in final negotiations for villain http://collider.com/rami-malek-bond-25-villain/?utm_campaign=collidersocial&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter

    Collider's scheduling take for Malek (shooting in the summer - and we know it shoots until at least late September) - is exactly what I said on Saturday. Italy standing in for Tunisia could very well be the villain's hideaway.

    Glad to see it's coming together.

    I'll be interested to see if they stick with how he looks. The last thing we expected when Javier Bardem was cast, was a clean-shaven, peroxide blond haired man, so I wonder if Malek and the team will want to play around a bit?

    I’m not at all against the idea of bond having a child. I think it could work, im only against the idea of that child being from Madeleine, because her character sucks.

    Also I just realized that since the film comes out in 2020, it means that there were only two bond films in the 2010’s

    I think @Denbigh hit the nail on the head when he said, and I paraphrase, this site isn't about ego and scoops and competition (which is how at least two people are taking this), but sharing in what we know.

    I could seriously hurt a poster and his claims he has info on the press conference for B25....

    For now... What's the point?

    There was a poster (maybe 2, or 5) that said lets get back to the fun.

    He doesn't play a villain in that, necessarily. He's the protagonist but the character is rather unstable, paranoid, and has delusions. I feel that he could pull off a similar role, albeit with more evil intentions in a Bond film.

    I respectfully disagree. The last few days have been quite fun given the amount of speculation on account of the flood of news. The usual suspects will continue to bicker.

    @dominicgreene , I think you're right. And @jake24 is correct: so much of what is coming in is great fun.

    But, as others have pointed out, there's a little bit of a darker force out there who makes this thread a little salty. A competition.

    @octofinger's criticisms are absolutely bang on as well. Love what this guy says-- have no idea who he is-- but I took the brunt, deservedly so, for his disappointment in some behaviour when some may know a little morsel.

    And that's why, as I posted on this thread a week ago, I decided to keep more quiet than not (and let someone have a victory lap).

    I simply decided I didn't want to deal with the negativity. So, tonight, I have re-listed everything I have been told about this production-- believe or not, but no one is "lying" to me, lol.

    I get the sense that my recent concerns about bond 25 were unfounded, particularly with the casting/ script is being refined not overhauled scoops. Feeling optimistic about it right now.

    Perhaps a mix of Zorin, Greene, General Orlov, and Le Chiffre.

    Someone who's very much insane yet very analytical in his actions. A villain who (hopefully) has more imposing henchmen do his dirty work for him, but will still attack Bond at the end, only to be defeated at the end. I can definitely see Malek's character be based on an Elon Musk or a Mark Zuckerberg.

    I'm liking everything I read - I just want Jeffrey Wright back, too. And that's still a possibility. I'm most pleased to read that Cary worked on/redid the script himself and Burns is working from his product. That's just great news. Cary is a fine storyteller. As for the Bond girls, their possible role, I'm happy with that. This is shaping up to be a slightly different Bond story, certainly not 100% formula with 100% same MI6 support crew. Malek, as I've said, does nothing for me but with the right script and Cary directing, I'm not concerned. (realizing he is not confirmed yet, but probably will be)

    I'm jumping in late to this but can someone explain to me why Madeline's character is even coming back? SP was such a forgetful entry in the series it makes little to no sense to want to reference it at all. Now that we know a lot of people don't like this script, so much so that it has to be re-written yet again is a terrible sign and I'm worried. Feeling like SP 2.0 to me which is a horrible mistake.

    I hope I’m wrong but I won’t be surprised if Bond 25 is like a Spectre 2.0. I won’t be surprised either if Madeline dies at the beginning which leads Bond to go back to the service. I hope this won’t be the case as it’s unoriginal. Neither do I want her to have a personal connection to the plot throughout the film as this means that Bond will also have a personal connection. Won’t be surprised if this happens either.

    Things change on a film set. But this is what I know.

    None of these things are a lie.

    Don't worry my friend, there are still ones here who appreciate what you do and your honesty.

    I can testify to being one of those that you have been most forthcoming with news.

    Others who I chatted with-- ten or more days ago-- will agree to this too: I said there was no overhaul. It was a polish (and smarter people than me on this site, knew that too (they knew coz they r smart; me dummy)).

    The only thing I was not privy to at the time was that the draft we were talking about came from CF himself (holy. and. shit!!)

    Continuing on this point, I was disturbed to hear that my/or other sources could be validated if, blah, blah, blah, and all I have to say to that, respectfully, is this: no one is lying to us. I can't speak for others, but I believe those (outside of the internet scavengers), have legit information. But--

    Information in the film world changes moment by moment (a small sample: Bombay (I think), was locked for the PTS for SF; that changed to Istanbul in a blink.

    Bombay was locked, until it wasn't, and things moved to Istanbul for (I think), better tax incentives).

    @PanchitoPistoles, you say my "source(s)" can be validated if Jamaica holds up. Uh... okay. But, I said more (and I suppose, risk your wrath):

    We should see how much has changed in the scripts from my reporting on this site, to the date now-- but I can assure you that anyone in production will report B25 was:

    #1 In Jamaica for scouting, led by Gregg Wilson (and he stayed at Ian Fleming's GoldenEye while he was there)(as a secondary source, he may have been there with second unit).

    #2: Cadiz or Matera Italy will stand in for Tuninsia (or maybe Greece? which I didn't hear about???, but Tuninsia (or another Middle east city, but I heard the Big T), unless exorcised by Burns)

    #3: Malek agreed to being in B25 BEFORE Oscar night (what is happening now is crossing "t"s and "I"s)

    #4 as I have said since Day 1: I believe Norway will happen, but I didn't hear about Norway from my "sources" until the past week. Repeat, I admit, I never heard about Norway, unless from this site (therefore admitting shortcomings, lol);

    #5: although Variety reported March 4 as the start date, I never said that was the date-- I said March 2019... And, shit, I will still say that shooting will happen in March 2019 (if not, shoot me on this).

    EDIT:

    #6: this dummy speculated (from ppl closer than me), that Boyle was fired; that he wanted to change the "culture of Bond. This has been documented long enough from me...

    Things change on a film set. But this is what I know.

    None of these things are a lie.

    Don't worry my friend, there are still ones here who appreciate what you do and your honesty.

    I can testify to being one of those that you have been most forthcoming with news.

    Add me to that list.
