Here’s the official synopsis:
Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
Interesting thoughts. However I was leaning towards Ana de Armas being a femme fatale type villain and Magnussen would be a filed operative working under Felix rather than a rival. Lashana Lynch as an Mi6 agent seems like a sure thing as there’s been talk of a character like that for a while.
So they are going with Bond couldn’t stop being Bond. I am popping champagne corks with that!
Agreed. I’m mad at myself for not thinking of her as a potential cast member, but she’s perfect.
No, it’s fine. Three main locations for filming is pretty standard for filming with any additional locations tending to be a blending of exterior shots with sets.

I like her she was great in Blade Runner, I also enjoyed her in that Keanu Reeves movie about imaginary angels ( I think !?!?) Movie bad but she stuck in my mind

Good find, I like this a lot. A Bond/Leiter buddy cop scenario sounds like heaven for most Bond fans. Members had been salivating at that prospect for years, and it seems like we’re actually going to get it. That, along with the tranquil life in Jamaica, will automatically balance the film out with a sense of humour and comradeship. Before, I assume, it all turns sour.
Well, unless a great portion takes place in Jamaica and Italy, and there is more than just the one sequence in Norway already filmed, then I agree.

Remember locations can double up. For example Casino Royale filmed in the Bahamas but footage shot there was also used for the Madagascar scenes.
She’s definitely filming something in Jamaica
True, and I expect given the Jamaica location and the return of Felix, I expect we may be also heading towards a reboot of his shark injuries.
I suspect that’s filming locations, not settings. EON clearly want to play Bond 25 as close to the chest as possible
“That information is on a need to know basis only. I’m sure you understand.”
Possible. Whilst watching Maniac I thought there were elements of LALD novel that would fit Fukunaga’s style.
We could very well be. Perhaps, as a point of difference to LTK, instead of going for a shark bite, they could chainsaw Felix’s legs, or damage them with this ‘dangerous new technology.’
Nanobots eat Leiter’s leg orf.
They appear to be making yet another one, then.
I also note that they still have not committed to this being Craig’s end (though I personally feel 5 is a nice number). It remains, still, just a manner for “journalists” to bump their word count up.
