Daniel Craig has been in Morroco since Saturday and there are pictures of him and Mark Strong there. So far no pictures of a white cat on those pictures

I would certainly concur with those who don't want Bond in constant contact with M at MI6 via earpiece, smartphone, etc. Paradoxically, this has become a reality for shoe salesman, convenience store managers and junkyard owners, so it's hard to move away from that...but I'd very much like to see Bond in a situation where he is cut off from the nanny-style immediacy of the old regime's (read: Dame Judi) control. I'd really like to see 007 sort things out on his own :007)

In an episode of "Bones" the heroes are up against a computer hacker. When they use computers and cell phones he allways winns, but then they og old School the tables are turned. They use Enigma code machines from WWII and he only focuses on moden Communications, so they can communicate in secret. Logan has said he wants to continue the themes from Skyfall in Bond 24. One central theme is old vs. new, and I'd really like to see Bond and Q communicate via Enigma.
I also saw a movie where the heroes had access to all sorts of surveilance equipment to detect all sorts of signal. So what do the villans do to get in touch with the heroes? They send a camel carrying a landline telephone cable through the dessert and simply phone them!
Yes, but surveilance hasn't been done to death in my opinion and using low tech to beat it hasn't been done in a an English language action movie I can remember. This is what some terrorist organisations are doing. They know the NSA are monitoring the banks,so they use the old Arab system to transfer money. One person gives a contact person a sum of money in say, Saudi Arabia. That contact sends a person empty handed to the area where the recipient lives (let's say the UK). The traveler tells the head man on the location the the money has been paid, and the head man gives the same sum to whoever the money was ment for. No official banks, no computers, no internet and no phones. The NSA are helpless.
Well that certainly sounds interesting and different!
Im simply sick of the good ole bypass the firewall kinda thing in 2 secs and control everything that we see in Mission Impossible / Skyfall and practically every other modern film
Given that a ski chase looks good for Bond 24, or at least some Snow action.
I wish they'd do another Night skiing sequence. -{ I think the darkness adds
a great sense of danger. and it has been a very long time.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Day for night shooting in OHMSS is a bit like the back projection car driving in Hitchcock movies. It looks quaint and charming because they are old and briliant movies. In new movies it would just look strange and fake.
I'm sure it could be done today and look wonderful. {[]

"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I think that's not just a (bad) feeling. The reports say it will be a snow mobile chase. I'm not worried - a snow mobile chase has a lot of untapped potential.

Bleuville.
He's good looking and I'm not.
Is Mark Strong rumoured to be in it, or are they just mates ?
Strong is rumoured to be in Bond 24.
Both of those facts can be the reason why they are in Morroco.
and he would be good in the fight scenes.
My only complaint would be that he has played several high-profile villans before.

E.g hackers....
Open / unlock doors / lifts
Prat about with CCTV
Control traffic lights
Control power etc
Its all a bit quick and easy and a cop out solution for the film to some extent (and done to death already)
