If the whole genome based on Madeleine Swann’s DNA part is to be believed, then maybe we’ve been looking at the casting call for a 10-14 year old girl who looks like Lea Seydoux all wrong from the start.

So after Madeline dies, Bond adopts her clone?
Double jeopardy Mr Bond… I killed her only double and after that, volunteers were understandably rather scarce.

Oh I’m sure he could still write a great title song. If anything Sting’s a solid musician and songwriter and has forged many tunes that go beyond the simple appeal of a pop/rock song. Would sure have been great had he been on board during the Brosnan years.

Are you, like me, thinking this with every “insider tip”

Was thinking the same.
However, he lost me at ‘Sting’! I really don’t see them going that retro, unless of course he’s approached them with something they like.
Cary is friends with the Stings, and Trudie was in ‘Maniac’. Cary might have approached him about it. or visa versa.

Well in that case it’s not at all implausible. I imagine that Eon and the studio wouldn’t be too happy with CJF, since they’d want someone far more in vogue. Or perhaps they’d just humour CJF by appearing to consider Sting.
However, once that ball’s rolling Sting may well come up with the goods. He’s written a few masterpieces in his time after all. And I very much liked his Lethal Weapon 3 theme It’s Probably Me.
Also, does this give credence to the rest of Kontze’s info? As pointed out above, the DNA cloning makes sense of the ‘young Maddy’ casting and the title probably being Property of A Lady (the ‘Genome’ title likely being Kontze’s misunderstanding).
Back to the song. If Kontze’s is right about Sting, then he’s probably right about Craig rooting for Sheeran. If Sting is CJF’s idea, then that puts director and star on a bit of a collision course.
Kontze of course may also be aware that Sting and CJF are friends and simply made it all up.
CJF’s new insta photo. Where are they?

The “Lethal weapon 3” song “It’s probably me” was basicly the already composed Lethal weapon theme by Michael Kamen and Eric Clapton, but now with lyrics and sung by Sting, he didn’t realy compose the song.

This lends some credibility. I’d be fine having Sting over some modern ‘artists’.
I think The Property of a Lady seems more likely to be the title at this point. Especially with the 007 rank being given to another agent - who is a lady.

“because the history start with many children” makes me think we’re getting an animated Bond Babies.
…which of course means a lower case q
Ok then…

Someone at the other place managed to identify this as off the coast of Saracena in Calabria.
So, Cary is in Italy, but this is still 120 miles from Matera - so he may be taking some holiday before filming resumes.

Is the Sun grasping at straws here to keep the negative narrative in play? Geezz…
Nice. So it appears they are building a structure to capture the best possible backdrop of the city. Fukunaga and Sandgren are visible there, identifiable by the hats.

I saw Fukunaga and Sandgren immediately as well. I wonder if this structure is being built for establishing shots (Bond and Madeline on the terrace enjoying the view for example) or if the structure itself plays a role (getting blown up)? One would think if that were the case, it would be further along in assembly.
Not sure how much blowing up can happen so close to actual buildings in Matera; could be they would have to CGI explosions there if needed.

They’re probably wishing they’d cgi’d the explosions at Pinewood.
