Well I'll be jiggered.
This is all sounding rather promising, really.
I'm glad they're going to continue with the 'realistic gadgets' notion from Casino Royale. After From Russia With Love, the gadgets began to get progressively sillier. In the Brosnan era, they were often downright farcical:
*imaginary example*
Bond's off on a mission that'll involve infiltrating a high-tech laboratory in New York City
Q: Now pay attention 007, this could save your life on this mission. It looks like an ordinary stick of rhubarb? Well, it's not. This is a cunningly-disguised quantum decombulator. Activate it by holding it near an open flame, and it emits an ultrasonic tone that will hypnotise any wolves in the area, compelling them to instinctively untie any ropes they can find.
Sure enough, Bond's mission to the high-tech laboratory in New York leads to five separate incidents where his life depends on getting wolves to untie ropes by using the latest over-contrived gadget...
Well, perhaps that's going a little far, but in the Brosnan movies, more often than not, it felt as though each gadget was created solely to rescue bond from one or two very unlikely scenarios.
