I was sitting in an airport when this was released, and I was geekin' in the terminal. "WHOA! Bond just got shot!"
Thanks for your support everyone btw!
I know I literally had no idea it was yours. I wanted people to see it cause I thought was good and was worried people would jump down my throat and tell me it's fake even though I already knew.
In 2115 we'll have trailers of trailers of trailers of the actual movie hehe :-P.
No jokes, I loved this small teaser. Exquisitly made.....with soul and love. Thanks @Antovolk
Haha, but IMO it's a great way to hype the fans up and announce the date/time the trailer is landing....
Anyway since SPECTRE seems to really bring together the story started in CR - here's a countdown of trailers with some of my thoughts to get everyone hyped:
Casino Royale by Create Advertising, score by (then known as) Pfeifer Broz Music - of course the famous trailer rendition of the Bond theme; just your usual theatrical trailer, setting up plot stakes, but in today's world...too spoilery, especially with the hint at Vesper's death. But that Bond theme is iconic though.
Quantum of Solace by Picture Production Company/Chinagraph, score by Pfeifer Broz Music - probably my favourite score out of all of the Craig era theatrical trailers so far, really building and dark-ish rendition of the theme....and not too bad a trailer! Pretty packed, and I really enjoyed it when I first watched it. Follows the usual formula to a tee...which is pretty normal.
Skyfall (IMAX Version) by Picture Production Company/Chinagraph, score by (now known as) Pfeifer Frankfort - the other two versions of this trailer, the international and domestic, are way too spoilery and lay out the film chronologically which I don't really like. But the editing and the music choice are really awesome, nicely building up from the score established in the initial teaser, and it was super great seeing it on the big screen in IMAX. One thing for me that I really like which the other trailers don't have - the Q inroduction. Really awesome.
And how could one forget-

SPECTRE Teaser Trailer by Picture Production Company/Chinagraph, score by Thomas Newman (so I hear, same for the new trailer too) - complete break from the established teaser formula, zero action scenes, the first half annoyingly tbh establishing the Skyfall continuity, but the second half establishing Mr White and SPECTRE is brilliant stuff...the score is haunting, and the darker, more mysterious tone is really a welcome change, and I'm glad, if reactions are to go by, that they're sticking with that tone for the theatrical trailer, and I hope much like the teaser trailer, it's a break from the established formula. Trailers these past couple of years have been much more creative, and I'm glad that the Bond team is jumping ahead of the curve with the teaser back in March, and hopefully this new trailer.
Apologies for the wall of text - thoughts? Which one is your favourite?
Great news!
We already have trailer reviews.
I have never watched a single one of these, nor will I ever understand them.
Trailer 'reaction' videos make me want to irrationally kill people. If you're crying at a trailer and you need to broadcast it to the world the only option is a straight jacket or my own meat cleaver directly to your face.
Jason how are things in Crystal Lake these days?
I'm sorry but Americans (I know it's not all of you) are the biggest culprits of this, why do you think we want to know your childish opinion on something allot of the time you don't even know what is you are talking about?
Another example is when so called film sites are taking peoples theories on fan sites (like MI6) and then passing it off as news. Does anyone actually do any work themselves or is it just copy and paste now is what passes for journalism?
All the YouTubers are dead. I feel at peace. It's like 'the good old days' have returned.
Hilarious, barely thirty seconds of actual opinion. :))
Why single out Americans again??? Please see above and stop the shortsighted hate.
Because Americans tend to attempt to be the loudest and most obnoxious ones I see online: look at me, listen to me, agree with me. Me, me, me.
Also, I'm an American.
That's just irritating, does he think he's funny?
Also @mcdonbb I did say not all of you but most of the ones I see are from the U.S with the exception of the cringe worthy Brit above.
Maybe it's a generational thing and I'm just too old for this sh*t but to me that is no better than all the other ones out there, someone's ego thinks he's got talent and he's actually amusing.
I can somewhat understand some of them. A trailer is a marketing operation, and thus can be reviewed as such, regardless of the quality of the movie to come. Poor movies were successful partially because of great teasers or trailers, and some sold the movie really poorly.
I don't think the X Files movie was any good for instance, but part of its lacklustre performance at the BO was due to a rather bland trailer.
Exactly - a lot of the U.S. trailer reaction people are a lot more versed in "fanboy" movies - especially the comic book adaptations, also action franchises like Fast and Furious, even stuff like Hunger Games etc, knowing the source material behind them, keeping close tracks of the plot, mythology of the previous films and franchises etc. Watch a reaction to the recent Batman v Superman trailer and it's night and day from the SPECTRE ones. Those types of reactions are more interesting to watch. They don't pay as much attention to Bond and its mythology etc, that's why they could be said to be not as "qualified". Out of all the SPECTRE reactions - that Brit guy, as cringe and over-reacting as he is, was the best, as he knew about the mythology of the films and was excited going in - he knew what SPECTRE was, made the Mr White connection etc you get the idea.
Best example - Ridley Scott's Prometheus. The movie was underwhelming and goodnot-great, but the trailers were fantastic:
The Morocco "indoor scenes", that were filmed at Pinewood could be in the trailer,
as there already is a shot of Bond and Madeleine on board the train in the TV spot.
But I doubt there will be any outdoor scenes, as this trailer was already shown at the end of June at the CineEurope in Barcelona.
And at that time most of the outdoor scenes weren't filmed.
