With anticipation surging through our veins like a digitalis-spiked martini, here are 7 questions we’ve got after the teaser trailer…
Will that Aston do something other than get driven?
I believe the common youth parlance on the street these days would designate that new Aston Martin DB10 a ‘sweet-ass ride’.
Aston Martin custom-designed it for SPECTRE, and sure, it’s another milestone in a history of incredibly cool Bond vehicles, but after all that effort and expense is the DB10 going to have some ‘optional extras’, or is it simply a beautiful piece of product placement? Because if that Clarkson-baiting piece of machinery doesn’t fire a missile from some part of it, or an intruder (Dave Bautista’s Mr Hinx maybe?) from its passenger seat, then I for one will be disappointed.
Mr White, are you alright?
You’re a what, dancing in a hurricane?! Oh a kite, okay. Last time we saw Mr White (Jesper Christensen) he was at the opera. Now it seems he’s in hiding in some frozen nowhere. Well, Tosca isn’t for everyone…
He and his lodging ravens are looking a bit haggard, and it also looks like he’s been playing chess with them. What has caused Mr White to fall on such hard, bearded times? Has SPECTRE demolished Quantum and hunted down its agents? Did Mr White wrong SPECTRE in the past? Isn’t all this speculating as annoying as it is exciting?
Is that Blofeld?
Lordy, this is exciting. The boardroom table is there, hopefully the death-chairs are rigged and ready, and as in Thunderball there’s a shadowy head sat at its shadowy head (played shadowly by Christoph Waltz and his head). But that still doesn’t necessarily mean Waltz is Blofeld.
Waltz’s character ‘Oberhauser’ is obviously high-up in the organisation, but round here at CULTBOX (Curators of User-Friendly Lovely Television Broadcast Opinions to the X-treme – told you I was working on an acronym), we’re still not 100% sure that Christoph Waltz will be the man with the cat on his lap.
Although if he is, then that will be fantastic. To be honest I was paying more attention to the strange object to the far right on the table, that looks like a Google Glass headset. Looks techy and important. What’s that for?
