Like Someone said, these two statements are very interesting:
In the movie’s trailer, Safin also appears to have facial scarring. “Let’s just say that there are some immense challenges [he] has faced in his life,” says Malek.
“Blofeld is in Belmarsh Prison,” says Broccoli. “[But] he’s actually communicating to the SPECTRE agents.”
Safin in the forest? I would imagine this is before we see Bond run after the helicopter? Has Bond given up Madeleine and Q to Safin because Safin has the technology to save a dying Q?

Could it be the Garden of Death?
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
Is it my imagination or is the left middle screen behind lovely Naomi Harris in Q's office a map of the Japan, Russia, Kuril islands area? Can anyone enhance a larger version of that pic?

I really doubt it. Pine forrests have next to no poisonous plants, insects or snakes. The climate is wrong. I they ever film the Garden of Death (I hope so!) they will prbably place it in a greenhouse or in a tropical climate.

you mean the coastline we can only partially see behind her shoulder?
Hard to tell, if we assume black is land and grey is water, it looks a bit like the coast around Korea but if you compare in Google maps is actually quite different in detail ...
The other map we can see quite clearly of Europe is black sea and grey land, and if we assume both maps would use the same colours (as they oughta) the bits of coastline behind Moneypenny's shoulder actually look almost the same as the shapes of the UK Scandinavia and Spain we can see in the other map. Maybe a slightly larger scale, but I think they're both maps of Europe.
If only that beautiful woman would step out of the way we could see the probably irrelevant map in the background more clearly!

Nice analysis there, I think you're right. I wonder if it is Scandinavia and maybe Norway does get to be Norway in NTTD and not various other countries.
The shot on screen kind of looks like Bond knocked back after the cemetery explosion and the sound effect they're going over is a ringing in the ears type thing. That's my take on it anyway.

It looks to me like Fukunaga is filming Zimmer through the bottom of a glass. That sort of behaviour is a sure sign the meeting has been going on for too long and they should take a break )
I gotta admit, there's more and more clues this film is a Dr No remake and less and less clues they will be finally adapting You Only Live Twice.
boo and hiss

Totally agree.
I REALLY don't want a DN remake, whereas I REALLY desire a Garden Of Death story. I don't know why they have to re-tread old ground when there's still unused stuff
This COULD be a japanese (!) mask from the traditional No(!)h-theater.
Like this one:
The mask is that of a central female character of Noh-theater, called Ko-omote.
This character portrays a girl of fifteen or sixteen (!), the youngest woman represented by the masks from the Noh-theater, with purity, beauty and virginity. "Ko" in Ko-omote means pretty or lovely.
Collider reported that Ben Whishaw said that NTTD is, "Daniel’s last film as James Bond, so I think what they can look forward to is a kind of summing up, I guess, of all of the previous Bond films that Daniel’s done. There are strands from all of the films in it, kind of reaching a conclusion." https://collider.com/no-time-to-die-daniel-craig-last-bond-movie/
While Spectre hamfistedly, some might say, linked the previous films and their villains to Spectre with pictures of them posted as a trail for Bond to follow to find Blofeld in the ruined MI6 hq, NTTD could weave more subtle elements of the past films together. A Casino Royale strand was the betrayal of Vesper and now apparently Bond thinks Madeleine betrayed him.
Another strand of Casino was Bond's concern about his job and him wanting to quit, which he did in Spectre and perhaps NTTD will deal with Bond's ambivalence towards his spying work?
And in Casino, and Quantum, a strand was who to trust. Again, trust is an issue in NTTD, from trusting Madeleine to Bond being the only person Leiter can trust.
In QoS, the CIA is working with Quantum and one Sony Spectre early script email leak was that the CIA is working with SPECTRE.
A strand of Spectre and Skyfall was how intelligence is changing and agents are old fashioned, but it's not clear how that would manifest in NTTD.
A strand of Spectre was how Madeleine was the key to learning more about Spectre and the trailer would suggest that will be the case for NTTD. Another strand of Spectre was how Blofeld interfered in Bond's life. Will Blofeld's ongoing contact with Spectre from prison and his link to Madeleine's past ensure that Blofeld does that again?
Spectre linked all the villains together, but it wasn't explained how Quantum fits into Spectre. Maybe that will be explained?
A strand of Spectre was Bond's familial link with Oberhauser/Blofeld. Will Oberhauser-Blofeld actually be an early clone of the 'original' 1946 DOB Blofeld? Is that what he meant by his mother's bloodline? And why does the Blofeld in the Wakefield prison computer screen shot have two good eyes?
Ben Whishaw tells Kevin 'Clerks' Smith in an IMDB video at 3mins 35secs that he is; “done now. I’ve done the three [Bond films] that I was…contracted to do.” https://www.imdb.com/video/vi2959916825
Whishaw also earlier in the interview says that Q gives Bond a gadget in NTTD. Maybe he means a plane?
The highest scene number pictured has been scene 253, which we saw a clapperboard picture for while they were filming on the Italian coast, and that equates to 2h 57mins. If that is not the epilogue we normally get, then the film could easily be 3h excluding end titles.
The mail on Sunday also claims the running time has grown because pages of script have been added during filming and it claims filming was chaotic. Ben Whishaw has also told Collider filming was: "quite improvisational...sometimes quite chaotic". https://collider.com/no-time-to-die-daniel-craig-last-bond-movie/
That would fit with the possible (near) end scene of Bond, Madeleine and Nomi at the rocky cliffs in the dingi... ?:)
I found that hard to believe. We know they filmed at the Faroe islands, and this was speculated to be for an island that would be in the disputed Kuril islands, and so the rocky beach is adequate for that. Is there a need for a volcanic island?
The Daily Mail story also says that the lair is a WWII bunker, but why would you have that on a volcanic island and why would it have Russian signage, as we know that inside the lair it says 'restricted area' in Russian in one of the official pictures? https://www.ajb007.co.uk/post/966202/#p966202

I ask me where Bond and Swann are? it doesn't look like Matera anymore but I could be wrong
Referring to the third pic, I guess. That’s most likely Bond dropping her off at the train station.

Now I can't un-see that!
Thank you.. Thank you... I will be performing here all month !

Only 20 minutes? Really? It seemed to drag on forever.
Also supports my theory that Bond died in the dentist's chair and the rest was just the fleeting dreams of a dying man.

The Mail on Sunday is the latest to comment on the runtime length. It says it knows that the run time is currently 2h 54mins but could be 3h.
