There's another explanation: Refurbishing efforts sometimes take a long time after such an explosion. Parts of the building that still look fine, could actually also be damaged. Concrete is very perceptable for heat as you know. The strength of the material will always be severely damaged during heats from fire or explosions. In order to fully re-construct and rebuild the building, some parts need to be demolished deliberately as well.
This is how it works in construction business.
The funny thing is that in Paris, you'd have had a huge Omega ad to hide the ruin while it's being rebuilt :) But, well, you've got no "ads" in the street in movies (it helps make them look less dated, as a matter of fact, so it's a very good thing)
;)

excellent. although they should have included a lego bulldog on the table in Bond's apartment.
Ooowh my god :-P. I'm laughing my balls off :-P! Absolutely wunderful LEGO-take on the teaser trailer. "SPECTRE" has absolutely gone viral since that teaser trailer premiered. Thank YOU LEGO ;-)!
By the way, the guy who did this did not make a LEGO trailer from "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation", "Furious 7" and "Kingsman: The Secret Service" yet...
great point)))
I really get amused/slightly concerned how some people feel that detail in a piece of fiction needs to be so accurate.....the worst i ever saw was the debate about how the DB5 as was from goldfinger could get dropped in to SF without explanation.....IT DIDNT MATTER.......
And as for this shot of Mi6.....okay lets be realistic and cover it in scaffolding and sheets....not exactly interesting is it.....
We're all simply reacting to the symbolism or timing of the mi6 ruins in the trailer. No more no less.
Is it weeks and months or years since Silva redecorated the place? Is Mi6 basically shut down and only a shadow of its former self desk sharing adhoc in Whitehall or still in their dungeon mk2 offices?
I just find it all fascinating and am not trying to put it through a reality filter!
I think you nailed it.
It is shown (smoking) in the CNN footage that brings Bond back to London.
Well it was a gas explosion.. he hacked the pipes and blew them up.. so as the fire spread it is likely more pipes exploded throughout the building.
Not that it matters.. it's just a movie.
I've checked a couple of sources and rewatching a video from the same IP address doesn't count as one more view.
Couldn't agree more.
Seconded. These are both exceptional, long running franchises and I'm chuffed at what they've both been able to achieve these past few years - critically and commercially.
Having said that, some of my favourite Bond movies have been the less financially successful ones so in a way I'd prefer less downloads - although from what I've been reading I think SP is going to be one of those Bond movies that hits all the sweet spots and is commercially/critically successful when it's all said and done.
Box office does matter in the relation to the budget, and should matter for fans too. If I end up loving Spectre, I would want it to make a ton of money, because then the producers would probably want to make the next one similar to it. On the other hand, if I end up disliking Spectre, then I will hope its box office performace will dissappoint, becasue then the producers would probably want to shake things up for Bond 25.
Doesn't it evoke a sense of pride? For me personally it does. And also, ai like every aspect of the Bond franchise. Foremost, the actual films! And indeed, the quality of it is the most important element. But we live in this cyber era, if you want it or not. And when I am not watching a Bond film, when I need to wait for months until a new one comes out, I'd like to indulge in other aspects of this massive family-franchise. And one of those aspects is the marketing of it, the box office.
I loved "Skyfall". I think it's in the TOP 5 of my favorite Bond films. And if afterwards this particular website, MI6-HQ, tracks down other aspects, like the awards, or the box office, then I get excited about that as well. It's the entire aura of the Bond-franchise that can really fuel me up. I love it.
Call me a geek, but I think I'm not the only one. Let there be a battle between trailers. Let there be fans tracking it. It enhances the magic surrounding the Bond franchise. Especially since Daniel Craig stepped in the shoes of 007 :-).
