This is what always really bugged me about the script, the rest was obviously Forster copying Greengrass and failing at it. The money end shouldn't have been a problem. Those scenes such as Fields' death and Mathis' beating could have been filmed with Pinewood but it surely would have required designing sets, and making sure the actors were available to shoot at least two more scenes. I'm not one of those totally unsatisfied with what we got, but the question I always wanted to ask and learn is why they didn't see the glaring holes regarding Fields and Mathis? Should we assume that (a) it's because amateurs were involved, or (b) perhaps they did realize these holes when the film was put together and it was decided not to act on it? I can't believe to this day that the 'professionals' involved didn't see how glaring the holes were when it all came together regarding the above characters, everyone in about the entire universe could and that includes all the amateurs like most of us. In hindsight though, I am happy it turned out to address both issues because I felt as a viewer that I got closure for Vesper and with a little polish and attention to detail, the possibility of a modernized version of a SPECTRE-type worldwide criminal organization to enjoy in future installments.

Whether he means in regards to Vesper or the idea of QUANTUM in general, I'm not sure. It's not right.''Ĭraig has also said that QOS was never supposed to be quite the sequel to CR that it wound up being. That was the only time I saw, really, 'No, we can't do that.' They said, 'Once he finds the kid, Bond can't just leave the kid. If he would find a kid, would he just leave it? They were so vehemently against it. But thought that would be really nasty, too, because Bond was an orphan himself. I think Paul thought he just leaves the kid, he doesn't deal with it. But they felt it wasn't particularly Bond - him looking for the kid. It wasn't anything to insult the franchise. 'The idea was that Vesper in the last movie, maybe she had a kid, and there would be an orphan out there. This much I did find regarding the Haggis script that some of us probably knew about, from Marc Forster- 'Haggis had an idea they weren't fond of, and I didn't know if it would work or not,' says Forster. I've been doing some reading and checking various sources, and all that can be found is an amateur transcript of all the lines in the film.
