  • A three-syllable S title is preferable to a two-syllable one, for title song purposes.
  • Hey, I call her Babs and I like her! :) Getting back the rights to CR was a masterstroke.

  • Sometimes they create fake titles (Blue Harvest). Shatterhand could be pointing toward something...or it could be nothing.
  • Interesting, and this is a legitimate source. It was listed as Shatterhand back on July 18. So is this the P&W script? Could it possibly be the Hodge script? And just how long has Boyle been exiting the project?

  • Fleming already gave us the perfect ending for Craig's Bond...the end of YOLT. When in doubt, go back to Fleming. I'm pretty sure Babs is on the record as saying that, as is Cubby.
  • If it's true they were already building sets... Do you think that they'd scrap the sets or try to figure out how to put them in the story a la SP?
  • 1700 pages and still in preproduction!

  • It is a dilemma. Rush into production and risk a QoS script debacle or delay and wait for a new script. I hope that they find a good screenwriter with a fresh take on things.
