That piqued my curiosity too. Could very well be. Contrasting against the beginning Jamaica segment where he’s alone. Also…could be a contrast to a young Madeleine being under the ice. A grown up Madeleine ending the film swimming in water (that symbolically has now thawed).

Oh, very nice. I like that.
And a topless Bond enters the sea, in reverse to early on in CASINO ROYALE.

My other thought from the song lyrics is that Matera must indeed happen before the opening credits - despite the misleadingly high scene numbers. Otherwise the song lyrics don’t really chime with the plot.

Bond, shirtless, walks into the sea with visions of a happy Madeleine swimming in the water - he walks into the waves to join her, disappears beneath them and then he is gone.

Definitely would give the song added context and power. Madeleine asks “why would I betray you?” during the chase. I also think this would work very nicely: Bond walking away as the train leaves, transitioning to the titles. “I should have known I’d leave alone.”

Starting to think maybe that’s Maddy in the tomb.
The look in bonds face when he sees her in belmarsh is surely too freaked out to be simply that he didn’t know she was working for MI6. Looks more like he thought she was dead.
Bleak, but open-ended. Very appealing.

We are fairly sure the tomb scene is before the DB5 chase with Madeleine in the car in Matera. But that’s not to say that Bond doesn’t then later think she is dead before they meet again at Belmarsh.

MI6-HQ are saying Vesper’s tomb for what it’s worth

Makes sense with the ‘bringing Craig’s arc full circle’ comment from BB and now the song lyrics referencing the past; fool me once (Vesper), fool me twice (Maddy).
And if they’re having Craig apparently let down by a lover again, then they need to acknowledge it’s again or it’ll smack of repetition; moreover the central play needs to be that he’s fallen for it again.

perfect time for him to realise that women are the problem and find love with Safin if you ask me

“Faces from my past return” opens up potential for Kleinman, namely Blofeld.
Hard to not repeat what he did in Spectre, though…
Zimmer recording session. Wait for the sting of the Bond theme at the end. Wow. Very sixties

Whoa! Can’t wait to hear the rest, and to hear it in context.
Very Thunderball in particular.
it’s from the song session specifically, rather than score…
Does that mean it won’t be incorporated into the film?
Not necessarily…
