Another possibility is that SPECTRE financed and influenced the activities of these prior villains, but may not have expected them to be brought down by James Bond or may not have endorsed all of their actions in these films. It could also be a reference to Oberhauser, as he is thought to have died as a child but is found to still be alive.Īccording to the film, all of the things that happened in the previous three movies were directly or indirectly influenced by SPECTRE and Blofeld and all villains were also (indirectly) working for SPECTRE ("You've come across me so many times, yet you never saw me.") in an attempt to ruin Bond's personal life and gain world domination, which they almost achieved by activating the new surveillance network. Blofeld says he's responsible for all their deaths to ruin Bond.
The current iteration of Bond (since Casino Royale) paints him as a broken man, probably haunted by all those people in his past who died from being around him. In a more thematic sense, it probably refers to all the people that died being around Bond in the previous movies (Vesper Lynd, Sévérine, M, Le Chiffre etc.), which is also referenced throughout the film by Blofeld, especially at the old MI6 headquarters at the finale of the film-when Bond walks into the building, he sees the memorial wall that M had talked about when confronting Silva after his capture ("Your name is on the memorial wall of the very building you attacked. Ttis week, Hollywood-bMexican director Guillermo del Toro compared his native Mexico to the “Old West,” saying drug-related violence and corruption have left the country in “social decay.The "dead are alive" at the beginning of the film is a reference to the Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico, the setting for the pre-title teaser in the film. The Hollywood Reporter suggests that Mexico is battling an image problem due in large part to a war on drugs that has claimed more than 100,000 lives since 2006. Let’s continue to pursue whatever avenues we have available to maximize this incentive.” Taxanalysts quotes Glickman as writing: “By all accounts we can still get the extra $6M by continuing to showcase the modern aspects of the city, and it sounds like we are well on our way based on your last scout. The website says the film got $14 million for what amounts to roughly four minutes of footage, and possibly more money for additional shots of the Mexico City skyline. The Mexico film incentives are great opportunity for a production that was seeking cost-cutting measures to reduce its initial budget of $300 million. Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman is best known for her starring role in Gerardo Naranjo’s crime thriller Miss Bala, which is set in Mexico’s criminal underworld.
Mexico reportedly asked that an international ambassador, rather than a Mexico City mayor, should be replaced as the target of an assassination, and officials also requested that Mexican police should be depicted as a “special force.”Īdditionally, Mexico demanded that the production cast a Mexican actress as a Bond girl, which was announced this week. The report cites a hacked Sony memo titled “Considerations for Cuts” in which Jonathan Glickman, president of MGM’s motion picture group, mentions script changes required to qualify for Mexico film incentives.
