Malek on Good Morning America
He is an uncomfortable interviewee
Hmm. I think the PTS wonât be Matera, then. The film starts with Bond living in that house in Jamaica. Seems like he could be there for a while, before being brought back into action. Seems to me the Jamaica section has the potential to be fun, with Bond taking it easy.
That was splendid.
Aside from forgetting they started SPECTRE with a title, it was nicely presented. Quick, neat, to the point.
Am amazed that while Malek was officially announced today, that the rumours to today were only very circumspect. But, fantastic.
I was also sceptical of Waller-Bridgeâs involvement but superb to have that confirmed too.
I know nothing of the rest of the cast. I will await someone being able to pop them all up somewhere.
Cracking house!

Was just thinking the same. Looks like itâs not.
Good that Jamaica is almost guaranteed to be used as Jamaica itself for a location though, rather than doubling for somewhere else.

Extremely disappointing 
Iâm just very happy to know Jeffrey is back. But NO TITLE ?..Really, I miss Cubbyâs era.
Malek is a powerhouse actor. I see him being as good as Bardem. Jeffrey coming back makes the Craig era feel more complete. Overjoyed at that. I canât really say âis that it?â. The film is now officially underway, we know the cast members and some details. There are more days than today.
Spine tingling to see the returning cast listed. The Craig era has REALLY knocked it out the park with its regulars.
Also CJF can always talk a really good game, which is good given his lead and lead villain both always seem so uncomfortable doing the press part of their jobs.

Indeed. From what weâve been told, I canât see how Matera opens the film.
Craig and cast on Good Morning America tomorrow.
On the subject of the new cast, Iâve taken the liberty of transcribing them for easy reference.
Dali Benssalah
Billy Magnussen
Ana de Armas
David Dencik
Lashana Lynch
and of course Rami Malek

Many thanks.
My first guess at the new castâŚ
Dali Benssalah - henchman
Billy Magnussen - CIA agent, rival to Felix
Ana de Armas - love interest
David Dencik - secondary villain
Lashana Lynch - MI6 agent, possibly a new 007 if Bond has retired?
Rami Malek - main villain
Must admit, aside Malek, whose work I havenât seen, and a couple of actors (Billy and David) whose work I have seen but would not recognise in which films or TV episodes they were in, I do not know any of them.
I do love Eonâs remit (I think) to focus on new faces.
We need to see more of this Rory Kinnear as Tanner:

Just speculatingâŚMagnussenâs character is to Lynchâs 007 what Felix was to Craigâs 007. Both Bond and Felix are aiming to fix what their successors couldnât.
Ana de Armas was in Bladerunner 2049 and is absolutely stunning and lord I am so happy to see she is in Bond 25. Probably as Bondâs bit on the side at some point, if Madeleine meets her maker early on

Female lead in it at that. Is Knives Out just Bond 24.5? 
Is anyone else disappointed/suspicious that only three locations outside Pinewood were shared?
