Not Your Typical James Bond Baddies

Mathieu Amalric, Anatole Taubman and Jesper Christensen discuss their roles

Saw something somewhere which suggest that Greene and Elvis are family. Cousins, specifically.

Anyone else here heard this?

[If this is known in another thread then the mods can consolitate/ammalgamate.]

Can't say that I have.

Don't remember where you heard/saw this, Hildebrand?

it would be an interesting (fleming esque ala the Spangled mob) aproachbut no i have nopt read anything to suggest this.

I'll try to dig up the source and provide a link.

It was mentioned in a report on Austrian media (ORF) some days ago that they are cousins

Ah yes: http://sony.epk.tv/campaign/quantum-of-solace

Hmmm based on the Anatole Taubman's interview from Qwerty's link, it sounds pretty interesting where they are taking Elvis and Dominic Greene, that being Elvis is "self-absorbed" and that they both bring together "a colorful tapestry."

So far from what we know/what little we know lol (if what I understand is true that Camille's family was murdered by General Medrano), there seems to be quite a few extended relationship's carried throughout the storyline. This may be saying too much too early, but part of the "reality" being brought into the Craig-era is the idea of stronger emotional relationships with the characters, which would strengthen the core of the film.

I'm liking the notion that they're related by blood. I think the fact that they're cousins as opposed to brothers is a step in the right direct, too. After all, we've never seen villains who are related other than Mischka and Grischka in Octopussy, an they didn't even qualify as secondary villains; they were basically there to show Orlov and Khan as having people inside Octopussy's circus that Octopussy herself was unaware of.

And here I was thinking they'd be lovers.

Are they really going to spend that much time on character development - for it to matter that they are cousins? Or is it just a neat little link to explain why someone gets a bit pissed off when one or the other gets killed by Bond?

An interesting little development...

I guess they could be cousins and lovers - doesn't really count as incest.

And even if it did count as incest, would that necessarily put it outside the bounds of possibility for a pair like this?

Presumably they are quite casual about other acts of illegality.

I think it's more along the lines of Godfather~ish family. Must we always assume that the relationship is to be sexual?

What new trail would that blaze? Where is the different thinking in that?

We have gone on and on and on about this. If it's not Dario and Sanchez, it's Zao and Graves...and if it's not the Korean pair, then it's Le Chiffre and his hench. If it's not May Day and Jenny Flex, it's Pussy and the girls from her Flying Circus.

It's getting a little stale, i'd say.

Dario and Sanchez? I though Sanchez was into beatin women???
Zao and Graves? Never thought about this. I guess Graves was a bit too pretty for a boy...
Le Chiffre was meant to have some gay undertones, according to Mikkelsen, so I guess that's a given.
May Day clearly did have a soft spot for Jenny Flex... not sure it was anything more than platonic though.
Pussy and the girls were lesbians, weren't they? I seem to recall Pussy being pretty much outed by Fleming.

As to Dom and Elvis... let's wait and see.
