No script?

Post by Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry »

I remember that the script for Casino Royale was leaked soon after production started. How come a Quantum of Solace script has not been leaked?

Are they keeping a close hold on it? Or are they ad libbing the script as they go along, making notes from multiple viewings of the Bourne Trilogy? :twisted:

They've probably tightened security because they don't want a repeat of the CR script being leaked. The potential for ad libbing in a big-budget action movie where everything has to be planned to the nth degree is fairly limited, I'd have thought (which is not to say it can't happen - for example, Harrison Ford pulling the gun and shooting the swordsman in Raiders was a famous ad lib).

I downloaded a copy of the CR script.It's amazing what *didn't* make it into the film.But a lot of what didn't make it into the movie would not have fit anyways(not that CR is without flaws-it has its flaws-but if the parts that were left out HAD been kept in it would have made for an even clunkier film.)

So clunky, you had to see it 11 times at the cinema to make sure, right...? :wink:

A cricket game in the PTS, with Craig pursuing the guy who he would end up fighting him in the bathroom. I haven't read the whole script but when I have the time I'll check it out. :)

:lol: you always make me laugh Capt.
First time in awhile... Hum..... either they are still reworking it or they think they have something soo valuable or soo bad that if word leaked out nobody would buy a ticket to see it.
either way I really don't care

A new Bourne film is a possibility according to recent stories. Eon will breathe a sigh of relief. The prospect of coming up with a few ideas of their own must have been terrifying.

I hope another Bourne movie is based on The Bourne Legacy.
