    This is a perfect example of trying to force the evidence to fit the theory.

    Lea Seydoux has 4 other movies coming out besides Bond 25. There is nothing to indicate that call wasn't for one of those other movies. As a matter of fact, I would say it probably was for one of those other movies because Bond 25's casting is more likely to be done out of the UK, not France.

    It is also possible that a young Madeline was indeed cast for Bond 25, but she is a different character from the girl in Norway.

    In short, we do NOT know who the girl in that scene is.

    No it isn't, the evidence does not have to be forced.

    According to IMDB, Lea Seydoux's next film coming out is Rubaix, Une lumiere and its released this month. Lea plays a young woman, and she is a neighbour of an old lady who is murdered. And there are no Lea look-a-likes in the cast.
    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8359840/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast

    Lea has two films coming out in 2020 and a third which is being filmed now and a fourth in pre-production.

    That fourth film, Par ce demi-clair matin, stars Lea and she plays a struggling celebrity journalist. A film in pre-production now would not need a casting call in January this year.

    The third film, The story of my wife, is a romance film and its cast can be seen here.
    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8205028/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast
    No Lea look-a-likes in the cast.

    The two films Lea definitley has coming out in 2020 are, Bond25 and The French Dispatch.

    The French Dispatch is a Wes Anderson WWII comedy, romance film which also stars Kate Winslet, Timothee Chalamet, Christoph Waltz, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray and a whole host of other well know actors. Again, no young Lea look-a-likes in the cast.
    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8847712/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast

    Bond25 has already had scenes leaked where the young Madeleine look-a-like falls/jumps into a lake. The January casting call wanted a child actor, 10-14 years of age, and it also said: "The child will have to know how to swim and be comfortable in the water. Important role." An important role.

    So, none of Lea's other films have a 10-14 age child in them whose role is important, or would obviously have to be able to swim. Bond25 we know for a fact has a child in it aged 10-14 years and they have to swim.
    I would say it probably was for one of those other movies because Bond 25's casting is more likely to be done out of the UK, not France.

    Really? Bond films casting is always international. Lea is a French actress. It follows they would look for a French child. As it is, the girl in Norway is British. So, you actually just proved my point.

    The evidence points to one conclusion. So much so that over at M6Community they have been talking about the girl being a clone of Madeleine.

    "Oh, Mercy," the English title of "Rubaix, Une Lumiere," was filmed in France. The auditions "to interpret Léa Seydoux child" took place in France.

    Here is a plot synopsis:

    "One of the crimes that Louis investigates involves arson in a house in a very modest street, where Claude (Lea Seydoux) and her girlfriend, Marie (Sara Forestier), are two of the neighbors that are questioned as witnesses. Their case will eventually balloon into a much more complex murder case that takes over the narrative’s entire second half, as the women become suspects. Worried about their future and Claude’s child, they are initially interrogated separately, where they deliver quite different versions of what happened."

    I may not be remembering this correctly. But my sense is that the casting announcement for the girl didn't suggest they were looking for an accomplished child actor. One would think Madeleine's clone would be a part requiring a kid who does more than just resemble Lea.

    Yes I know the description came from the review in the Hollywood Reporter. I posted it just yesterday and I can certainly remember that far back to where I got it.

    You're telling me that I have shown you that Lea Seydoux shot a movie in France earlier this year, that the casting call for someone to play her child took place in France earlier this year, and now someone who has seen the movie confirms that she does in fact have a child in this movie - but you're still saying the casting call can't possibly be for anything but Bond 25!?

    You said it was a synopsis. It's not an official synopsis. Its a journalist's description.

    Yes. Four reasons why;

    1. We don't know how old Claude's child is. There is no tween/teenager on the IMDb cast list. The child in the casting call is 10-14 years of age. My guess is, 34-year old Lea is playing a younger 20-something character and the child will be under 10 years old.

    2. The casting call said the role was important, yet, there is no child on the IMDb cast list.

    3. The casting call said swimming was important, yet there is no evidence of any swimming from the Hollywood Reporter report.

    4. We know, FOR A FACT, that Bond25 has a girl in it, who is 14 years old or younger, she is blonde, like the Madeleine character, and her scene(s) involves a LAKE. And it's becoming increasingly likely that this girl who we see right at the start of the film, after the PTS, is important, as the casting call said. So, the obvious conclusion is that the casting call was for Bond25. Obvs.

    BTW Just to cover another topic. I don't believe this Genoma of a woman title rhubarb. I don't understand why anyone would give that 5sec of consideration.

    Someone, just for the sake of clarity Claude tells the police investigator her daughter is six years old. The film was shown at Cannes in May but the trailer is available for viewing.

    You may recall from my early interventions that my interest is in seeing Lea, as she said in the IV launch, get to know more about Madeleine.

    I won't rehearse all the points of context about the Norwegian Cabin but suffice to say Baz Bamigboye indicated in early March the following.:-

    "Filmmaker Cary Joji Fukunaga and a small crew are heading to Norway to shoot a frozen lake before it thaws. The footage will be incorporated into the pre-credit scenes for Bond 25, starring Daniel Craig."

    Naturally he is only a journalist but everything that has followed (CB, stunt doubles, movement coaches, Rami's confirmation of filming in Norway, BB on a pre existing link with the villain) certainly doesn't dissuade me from his early March statement that it is part of the PTS and (My view) that the PTS is "Craig style" and sets up what comes later including the relationship between the two on the Ice which the audience is made aware of.

    Oh and the Ombre Puffa Jacket is a riff on 90's stylings.

    Enjoy the rest of your analysis I am now at the point I do not wish to know more but I am very excited by the unorthodoxy of the structure. (Long PTS, Bond retired, London end of Act 2 etc and I like the contrasting locations.)

    Thanks Michelle. Nice input. I think this must make it certain that the casting call was for Bond25.

    Here is a subtitled clip from the film and in it, at 1min 24sec, Claude says she has a 6-year old daughter.

    What we know now is that it is not part of the pre-credit scenes, as we have seen the scene 15K clapperboard for the Norway scenes and 15K will be after the credits.

    Yes this is another reason why people though it is a flashback.

    Just trying to draw connections, but does anyone else think Mr. White's comments to Bond about SPECTRE now involving itself with "Women, children" was foreshadowing for Bond 25?

    I also don't buy into the whole "Genome of a Woman" thing. But what about "Helix" as a title? Did a quick search and "Shattered Helix" was a Bond comic in the early 1990s (which I didn't know about before). And it's plot sounds like a bit of a model for Bond 25 based on what little we know so far

    From MI6

    Official Synopsis
    Issue #1 - Bond once again faces the supersecret criminal organization Cerberus. This time, Cerberus has its heart set on acquiring the most dangerous disease known to man, a genetically engineered nightmare buried in a secret base in the Antarctic. Bond joins forces with scientist Serena Mountjoy to in a deadly race to the South Pole. Unforgettable action, beautiful women, and bizarre, diabolical villains -- this is Bond at his best!
    Issue #2 - Cerberus has penetrated the secret laboratory in the heart of the Antarctic. Its goal -- the deadliest disease known to man, perfect for its goals of global blackmail and mayhem! James Bond is hot on its heels, aided by beautiful biologist Serena Mountjoy. But to stop Cerberus in this caper, he must make his way through Bullock, a murderous monster of a man with bulletproof body armor surgically grafted into his skin!

    This whole "Genome Of A Woman" title thing is pretty awful and bizarre on the surface but where there's smoke there's usually fire.
    Whether or not the casting of the young girl who looks like Lea Seydoux was for a young Madeleine or some sort of genetically constructed clone I am getting a sneaking feeling in my bones (and a good bit of wishful thinking) that possibly "Genome of A Woman" may be code for the actual title....drum role please....."The Property of A Lady". Ok, now I am going to get wild and crazy and make a completely out of left field plot guess: Madeleine is murdered in the PTS after marrying Bond (homage to OHMSS) but in a longer more involved action sequence. At some point after being recruited back into active service, Bond finds out that there is a child who may have been cloned by the bad guys (I'm assuming SPECTRE) from Madeleine's genes. To throw in a little family emo that we get these days in Bond, the possibility that the child was created from Madeleine and Bond's genes. If the child is 6 years old it would fit with the timeline of Bond marrying and retiring. We do know that in the sequence in Norway, the child ends up under the ice while being pursued by the masked bad guy. Is it possible that the rest of that sequence has Bond showing up and rescuing the child (possibly his daughter). Now it does appear that Craig was not on location while that sequence was filmed, but considering the dangerous nature, it is possible that the rest of it will be completed in the studio? The other crazy possibility could be that the revenge crazed Blofeld has used SPECTRE's nefarious human genetics program to create a child of Bond and Madeleine after Madeleine's death to continue to wreak havoc on Bond by either raising the child to be part of SPECTRE or just killing the child. Probably way off on all accounts but it's something that just entered my thoughts while reading the previous posts. :)

    The child is not six. She's more like 13 or 14.

    Yes.....definitely not 6; hadn't seen that video clip in a while. I'm fine waiting to see the film in April to find out what it's all about but sometimes it's fun to guess. It looks to be a very harrowing and tough scene even without context. I don't recall any scenes of a child in peril like that in any other Bond film. I really hope the suspense thriller aspect that was absent in SPECTRE returns. Leaning toward the flashback of Madeleine theory. Could be a nightmare she has the night before her wedding....a prophetic one. As the daughter of Mr. White she apparently had a life spent as potential targets. Ironically, her relationship with Bond has brought her back to that kind of life, even after he has walked away from the Service.....the past is never far behind.

    Maybe that weird Genoma of a Woman rumored title is just a cover for The Property of a Lady?

    Might be a reach, but it's as good a guess as any. It's also Fleming, very classic Bond sounding and a decent title IMO which has flexibility, but it may not be dynamic enough for what the producers like these days. License Renewed is another good one considering the story line and there appears to be be a Scotland angle but I don't know if EON is willing to spend the money on the rights to the novel.....unless that has been done on the down low already and there are some key plot points adapted to Bond 25. We are probably way off on both. :))

    And apparently there is going to be an explosion, which they had to get environmental approval for.

    There are various Italian media stories detailing the many, many traffic restrictions Matera is going to be under from yesterday until various dates up to 21 September.
    http://www.sassilive.it/cronaca/pubblica-utilita/film-james-bond-25-a-matera-nuova-disciplina-del-traffico-veicolare-nelle-zone-della-citta-interessate-dalle-riprese/

    The official local government announcement can be found here detailing the traffic restrictions;
    http://www.comune.matera.it/dal-comune-int/item/3893-arriva-bond-nuova-disciplina-del-traffico-veicolare-nelle-zone-della-citta-interessate-dalle-riprese

    The filming appears to be taking place across a wide area in the town of Matera. I walked the Skyfall Istanbul car/bike chase (not over the roofs admittedly) once and the route you see Bond and Patrice take doesn't exist, so I'd imagine bits of Matera are being chosen for the chase route because they look good or meet some other need for the chase.

    But two facts emerge from the stories that are interesting. One is that there is confirmation that Marketto007's info is correct that filming is planned into October. Its October 4th, not 15th, but they are filming in other parts of southern Italy, so that could easily push the filming to mid-October.
    This story; https://giornalemio.it/cronaca/per-james-bond-25-conto-alla-rovescia/
    says: "This Administration has authorized the filming of the film entitled "Bond 25", in the period between 15 July and 04 October 2019;"

    15 July might be a typo or maybe that date was set to encompass possible dates for the start of the set construction work.

    And the second fact is that they are going to be laser scanning the streets, reported here;
    https://giornalemio.it/cronaca/per-james-bond-25-conto-alla-rovescia/
    I'm guessing this is for VFX: "...in Via Bruno Buozzi, a parking area reserved for residents between civic numbers 23 and 34, for laser scanner operations..."

    From ‘Fleabag' to James Bond and Beyond: Phoebe Waller-Bridge on Death and Her Secret New Movie

    In March and April, while Waller-Bridge was in New York for nightly performances of Fleabag — Anna Wintour and Adam Driver were among those spotted at the sold-out run — she was secretly polishing the script on the still-untitled Bond 25, said to be Daniel Craig's final turn in the role. It was Craig's suggestion that she give the project, beleaguered by delays, some sharper dialogue. The fifth credited screenwriter, she joined director Cary Joji Fukunaga, co-writer Scott Z. Burns and usual Bond maestros Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. Sources paint Waller-Bridge's pay at around $2 million for her incremental work on the script. Not too shabby for a punch-up. Her hiring speaks to an awareness that Bond needs to better serve female characters in his post-#MeToo debut.

    "There's something about James Bond that always intrigued me in a similar way that Villanelle did," says Waller-Bridge, referencing Comer's Killing Eve assassin. "They live a fantasy! But it's a life none of us would ever want, if we're honest. We don't want to go put a bullet in someone's head to sleep with people and have martinis. It's a kind of fantasy nightmare." Asked about reports that Bond 25 actress Lashana Lynch will be picking up the 007 mantle, she says, "The whole thing has potential to birth new iconic characters all the time."

    She's cognizant and somewhat suspicious of the mild frenzy around her contribution: "A lot has been made of me coming on board because I'm a woman, and that's wonderful. But also I can't take credit for the movie that was written. It's Cary's movie."

    So Italy will have the biggest footprint in the movie?

    It's hard to judge because its easy to confuse pre-filming construction work and stunt work and then you have the actual cast members.

    I think they spent a total of three months in Turkey for that film's 10 minute PTS but the cast members were not there for three months. It's a 6-7 month shoot for Bond movies and there is a lot of simultaneous work, filming units going on.

    While there seem to be many filming locations in Italy, it could be just one long chase sequence that uses locations in a non-geographic way, so the geography of the chase is actually nonsensical but it looks good on the screen.

    So far, they seem to have done very little location work beyond the 2 weeks in Jamaica. No cast members were seen in Norway. Pinewood doubled for Cuba. Cast members may have been in Swinley forest in England. The car chases all seem to be using digital face replacement. They are laser scanning the Italian streets which could mean they will be used for CGI and/or rear screen projection/green screen for studio based filming of the actors in the cars during the chase.

    BOND 25 IS JUST LANDED
    The next film of # 007 will also be shot in #Gravina in Puglia and #Matera.
    Production has just landed at #Bari with this flight. ✈️
    A great new international production, another great opportunity for visibility and promotion on a global scale for #Puglia.
    Great Team game.
