I wonder if it's a "remake" or "re-imagining" of the old movies, specifically On Her Majesty's Secret Service with the weepy song and some of the icy mountain visuals. The one where he gets married then Blofeld kills her at the end in The Alps, I thought Vesper would be serving this role but it could be that blond girl.
There's also that secret base in the desert, which fits this being a remake of Austin Powers 1 if the baddie really is Bond's brother.
