    Also going by those new yacht scene stills, looks like they're going for the Nolan approach of using IMAX wherever they can/is appropriate really, and not necessarily planning for extended sequences to be in the format without cutting back to scope (best examples of that planning being The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Batman v Superman)

    Can you explain this further.

    Do you think the aspect ratio will constantly be switching on the blu-ray when it's eventually released? I find this technique so distracting.

    Not constantly but quite often during the 'IMAX' set pieces. Obviously nowhere near as terrible as with this

    @antovolk - Interesting. I could live with that.

    In Dark Knight Rises, Nolan opens up the aspect ratio at any given opportunity. Even establishing shots or just for the sake of it.

    I understand that the 65mm footage is gorgeous and, conversely, impractical to film an entire movie on. Nonetheless, it's a jarring effect and never fails to pull me out of a film.

    The format is ideal when the aspect ratio doesn't cut back and forth, but adjusts for an entire sequence then reverts back to regular 16:9 when it ends. MI: Fallout did this best.

    MI Fallout wasn't actually shot on IMAX 70mm though, not even on their digital cameras ;)

    Interesting, didn't know that.

    Never pay to much attention to changing aspect ratios when watching films myself, but that Transformers clip was incredibly distracting!

    This was quite annoying when I watched it on Blu-ray. Unlike my Dukirk Blu-ray there was no mention of the aspect ratio changing on the Blu-ray case and so I wasn't expecting the aspect ratio change. Aspect ratio changes can be especially annoying when using a projector. My screen is of a 'scope' size and so when the aspect rato happens half the image falls off the screen - quite annoying.

    One thing for sure (provided MGM/Universal don't cock this up like they did with First Man and make some IMAX 70mm prints of the film), the BFI IMAX is going to be the place to be on opening night for London Bond fans and it's going to be gorgeous....

    Ana de Armas is in Gran Canaria filming Wasp Network with Penélope Cruz and Edgar Ramírez:

    I think she won't be in Jamaican scenes...

    I haven’t even seen her in anything and I already think Ana De Armas is my favorite Bond girl.

    Excellent article!! Im fed up with the negativity, so I just ignore it now and enjoy it. Bond films are so rare now Im making sure I enjoy this part of the experience too. I honestly think Bond 25 will be amazing.

    Actually I think Amy Pascal opposed to Bro-feld.

    To be honest I'm quite tired of the policing of negativity on this forum. We are allowed to be disappointed for certain things. Besides, for every negative comment I see 12 complaining about it.

    How's Dunkirk on Blu Ray? Great film :)

    thanks also, thunderfinger!

    Look, fellow posters and chat room users: being critical is FINE! Even bitching occasionally. But judging a movie by its launch bodes ill. The more smug the launch? the weaker the final results imho and esp with Bond. We should all just be happy that it's FINALLY filming! x

    It's fantastic - and very, very loud!

    Is it just me or is IMDB heavily hinting that there will be a Dr. NO type connection to Spectre in this film. Maybe they have some inside information...

    Think back to the interview with Rami Malek when he was asked about his favorite Bond villains. He made a particular emphasis on Dr. No. Christoph Waltz did the same thing with Donald Pleasence's Blofeld.

    I’d love to see a lot of DN inspiration, but a straight-up remake would be a disappointing lack of originality.

    The video also mentions A View To A Kill and The Spy Who Loved Me.

    They're just making puns. And the Dr. No connection is obviously Jamaica.
