I can't help myself. I read almost everything about it. It's interesting because some of those posters at the Bond sites keep track of all the details of schedules and what's in the on-set photos. And they imagine intricate plot points based on video and interviews released by the production. If I've seen too much footage and know too much plot, I guess it will affect my enjoyment of the movie when I actually see it for the first time. But - I can't help myself. It's something to do while we wait for Nov. 7.Germangirl wrote:No, same here - I watch the vids, look at the pics and read the articles, but I avoid reading the threads, where they try to put the plot line together.JoniJoni wrote:Me neither GG.

Not fairl! Not fair! Just because some of us are so provincial and only know one language! Four years of Latin gets me nowhere. What language? What is this site? Is this about a Quantum of Solace game?Germangirl wrote:Digital Dan

Well, the .cz lets us know it's probably Czech, not that would help most of us.cornell01 wrote:Not fairl! Not fair! Just because some of us are so provincial and only know one language!

I'm not even attempting an online translator with this text.There are some articles in English on CBn and MI6.Elaine_Figgis wrote:Well, the .cz lets us know it's probably Czech, not that would help most of us.cornell01 wrote:Not fairl!

Yes. I really like 2 catch everything about it but reading the script a bit too much for me. But I dont mind knowing people's spoiler-free opinions about it.cornell01 wrote: I can't help myself.

Im not really sold. The script (according to Mark) is changing every day and suppose it went reeeaaly far away from original Purvis/Wade draft. Romance is possible (Bond/Fields fling), but it doesnt look to be having a huge place in the actual movie just maybe a couple of comic relief scenes. Maybe he means the staff w/Olga and Bonds coming 2 tearms with Vesper's deathSome guy over at IMBD says he has read the script of QOS, which may very well be, because the CR script was leaked way ahead of time, too (as I have read). But having heavy romantic moments doesn´t really go with what we know about the film so far....
I've got the script, read it a few days ago and as I expected, I loved it. Alot of action as expected, but i was lost in the "romance side of things"
It would be very nice if handled well.Extended Pre-Titiles Sequence - Deleted Scenes
Playing Taxes - Deleted Scenes
Rescue & Recovery - Deleted Scenes
Old Boyfriend - Deleted Scenes
Hugely dissappointed by the amount of deleted scenes on this DVD. I would be satisfied without knowing about how many more scenes were filmwd 4 this movie, but now when I surfed through the thread on CBn with their HUGE list of these 'supposed to be' scenes Im really upset

)We have the following possibilities for deleted material:
-The extended PTS, with a more confusing sequence of cuts back and forth.
It showed Bond pursuing the contact into the bathroom. The exterior of the cricket club in Pakistan and the beginning of the fight, including the two men losing their guns and Bond smashing the other fella's head through a urinal
-A slightly extended chat between Obanno and Mr. White, explaining more about Obanno's religious connection.
-Bond telling Mollaka his name before he shoots him. This was probably never filmed, but y'never know.
-A recurring motif of torn cards playing into the "ellipsis" deal. We know this was at least partially filmed, due to the fact that footage of it is visible in the CASINO ROYALE teaser trailer.
-Bond being picked up from jail by Villiers.
-Extended conversation between M and Bond in Nassau about LeChiffre's connection to Saddam Hussein. We know this was filmed.
-The scene where Bond meets and replaces the poker player Bliss on the train (actor Con O'Neil was cast in this part so presuambly the scene was cut)
-Bond watching Vesper approach on the train station. Bond and Vesper disembarking the train at the station in Montenegro (including a rather funny exchange about a secret agent's tax return)
Filmed.
-More Bond and Vesper banter on the way to the hotel taxi,
not unlike the conversation they had on board the train and then in the car. If it was filmed, it was probably cut for overdoing it.
-Vesper sneaking a glimpse at Bond on the drive to meet Mathis.
-Extended conversation between Mathis and Bond during their lunch together, having to do with Bond's view of women and how the last thing he needs is a girl hanging on his gun arm.
-Extended dialogue between Bond and Vesper on the balcony, after his loss, where she talks about her father committing suicide after losing money in gambling. In the script, the moment felt overdone and forced, and I can imagine that's why the cut it.
-Bond and Vesper skinny-dipping in the mediterranean. Was filmed, and you can see bits of it in various trailers/commercials. I'm very eager to see this.
-Extended "the bitch is dead" scene, where Bond hurls his laptop into the water and it shorts out. This was filmed.
-Bond falling down the steps of the casino after being drugged
-The tanker driving through a plane's fuselage during the chase
-Bond's arrival on a stretcher at the hospital
-Valenka's swim (underwater stuff was filmed)
-When Bond and Vesper are in bed in Venice, she snaps a picture of him before leaving. Later, when Bond is on the phone with M, he's looking at the pictures on the laptop and flings it into the water, where it shorts out. This footage was in the Sony promo.
-The shot of Craig's face in close up, while sparks from bullet ricochets go off in the background as seen in the slo-mo bit of the trailer
-The shot of Dryden walking across the lobby from the trailer isn't in the film
-Bond sees Gettler at the hotel, becomes suspicious, and asks the receptionist about him (didn't the actor who played Gettler say he had filmed some scenes that were cut?)
-There may be an extra "something" going on in the Venice finale - remember that brief shot in the trailer of Bond's face in the foreground and there are sparks going off behind him.
-There may also be a bit in the torture scene that implies Valenka is torturing Vesper in the other room, when she asks Le Chiffre for the pliers. I'm pretty sure this was filmed,
as Eva has a bandage on her hand in the later scenes.
It´s great.
