I know the writers have a valid gripe but I am troubled by this. The script like they said is a draft and needs as I feared to be polished. Filming is scheduled soon at the first of the year I believe. Not good at all I dont want 22 to be Bond's last or to be a lackluster follow up to CR and Bond lose his credibility.
Warrantied or not just bad bad news... I'd rather they postpone filming until the script is completed... just bad bad bad bad........... |

That step typically comes after a set of revisions. I've been under the impression that the draft Haggis delivered was only the First Draft. But if they are up to the polish step, that means the script is further along than we all thought. (FYI: A "polish" is supposed to mean dialog only. But, in my experience, it's never just that. It just becomes another rewrite that you get paid far less for. Frankly, I think the term should be abolished. But it is typically the last contracted step.)

No need to worry. Purvis and Wade are probably polishing the script as we speak.
