It was @Red_Snow who noticed that one.

That's a big domain hosting company. Wouldn't be a massive coincidence if EON (or Sony, predating?) uses them for domain registration as well as whoever randomly registered that URL.
Furthermore, if that title is/was a working title at any point, the marketing team would have grabbed it immediately as a precaution.
If it were the title, I'd also assume other variations of the URL would produce similar links or -- potentially -- also forward directly to MGM or EON's official 007 site. I tried a few obvious ones, and they don't.
Well, you're right
Eclipse007.com
007EclipseTheMovie.com
All lead to 404.
...and if it were the official title, in this marketer's humble opinion, there's no way they wouldn't also register at least those first two -- for sure.
I'd never say never, and we'll know in a few short weeks. But for me that's enough to debunk it.
I'm with you on this. Flagged it awhile back, but -- if you're going with a one-word title, you need one that screams James Bond. Frankly, Shatterhand is still far likelier, even with Barbara's (cheeky?) denial.
As a working/code title for the production? Sure. But I doubt we ever see it on a poster.
With the notable exception of some of these excellent fan posters we're seeing. ;)
I feel like we've had a countdown for an eternity. With so much buildup over the months I feel this press conference will either be disappointing or, will totally blow us away. A stellar confirmed cast, plus a great title, would be welcome.
I thought the same. Especially since they used some of Colonel Sun in the last movie.
Even if the just used the title, Colonel Sun is very Bondonian.
The thread is tagged 'potential spoilers'. If people still click and see something they don't like, that's on them. I'm not here to placate to overly sensitive people.
Why would anyone come to this thread if they were concerned?
This news is more of a spoiler for the press conference than the movie itself.
I understand that, but the mods had already requested spoiler tags to be attached to anything regarding this specific rumoured title. As far as I'm aware, that decision hasn't been removed as of yet.
It still stands. There are several people who frequent this thread who don't want the title revealed to them before the press conference. We're trying to respect that.
Fair. Mea culpa.
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah. I think they have learnt the lessons since the Skyfall title leak. I know it's still tricky to keep titles under wraps until the reveal, but I think they managed it with Spectre, and im sure we will be surprising again with BOND 25. I'm sure it will sound far more Bondy than the rumoured titles. I would even expect Shatterhand to be more likely than Eclipse, even though it was ruled out in a autograph, but still chances of a bluff. I dont think that's the case though, but that's more likely to me than Eclipse. At least shatterhand sounds more bondy. Hopefully we will get the reveal in the coming weeks. Next fingers crossed. I do lov the speculation leading up though. ;)
Just looked and that same user said back in February that he was told by A London casting director that Rooney Mara would be in Bond 25:
If the title actually is Eclipse, somebody will dig through the Fleming stories, find an instance where he used the word eclipse and proclaim it a Fleming title.
