I really wish they would have incorporated the Bond as a codename theory into this. A little bit of rewrite and maybe even throw in an actor that was a previous Bond and this would have been interesting. The Skyfall scene where we meet this old man, I seriously think that could have been Connery because of the focus on him, like we are supposed to know the guy, like this would have been a James Bond reunion.
I read about how they wanted Connery for a scene, but they realized that it would've been distracting. It's pretty much the same reason why they wrote him out of Indiana Jones 4.

If they had mentioned his dead wife, that would've sealed it.

Edit: So apparently they wanted Connery for Kincade. And they were right, watching two Bonds fight side by side would've been distracting.
