If you have a SPECTRE ring, you don't forget about it.
Sony Apparently Has A New “Made For Bond” Phone In The Works

Back on track - firstly here's an unused line from a work-in-progress version of the trailer shown to press during a junket a while back:
And, I know we didn't get this for Skyfall, but a lot, or actually, most recent blockbusters now have a third 'final' trailer released around a month or two before the film's released. Do you guys think we should get one for SPECTRE?
My opinion is that I hope so, given that by today's terms, it's a bit early for this new trailer to be the last trailer for the film, and Sony/Columbia have a good launch platform for it with their next upcoming major release that is The Walk, which is released on September 30 in IMAX cinemas and October 9 everywhere else. Plus with the final trailers, the editors are usually more creative and intriguing, given the main sell was with the theatrical trailer.
For reference: here are the theatrical (released end of July) and final (released end of September) trailers for Interstellar, which came out on SPECTRE's release window (first weekend of November) last year.
If we get another trailer, I hope it's just a bit shorter than this most recent one and doesn't reveal too much new footage.
I see it coming sometime in September.
Shouldn't need to worry as final trailers do tend to be shorter (closer to 2 minutes rather than the full 2:30), and while yes they do show new footage - @aaron819 makes a good point about the Morocco exterior scenes and London bits) - they are more out-of-context and on the whole, the trailers tend to be less plot-focused and more thematic (take a look at the Interstellar example I posted, I expect SPECTRE to do something similar).
I do however agree about the B-roll and the TV spots, those can be crazy spoilers-wise.
That's how I'm feeling now: I've seen all I need to see. These three trailers in total have shown me enough, and I'm more than amped to see the film in November, so I'll probably pass on watching the next trailer/any TV spots they release.
You guys say that now ;)
I guess unless this is addressed in SP the movie will truly suck.
I've been thinking about this too. How the hell will we manage to avoid all the spoilers between those dates?!
I'm going to leave from the 26th-6th.
Just rewatched it, can't get over how impressive that helicopter stunt is.
Discussion of the script must only be contained in this thread as linked...

I'm just worried Waltz's talents will not be properly utilized. For anyone who has read the script, will Oberhauser have the charisma and charm of his character Hans Landa or will he be more even keeled?
MESSAGE ME IN MY INBOX. DO NOT POST REPLIES IN THIS THREAD. NO SPOILERS.
I thought this thread was unusually calm.
The charisma is brought by the actor, not the script. It's easy to write "Oberhauser is charismatic", that means nothing unless you have an actor who can deliver charisma. Sure, lines can be written to show the character has presence, but they will fall flat unless the actor can deliver. If they cast Christoph Waltz, it is because they want one with charisma to spare for a role that requires it. (Another reason why I think he is Blofeld).
Back to the review. Most people didn't like the YouTube reviews. But THIS one is pretty much more professional. It's from the latest episode of "The Schmoes Know Movie Show". The three radio presenters verbalize exactly what I think of the Craig-era of Bond films:
Here's another great online talkshow, the "Collider Movie Talk". And also here the guests were pretty much impressed by the full theatrical trailer. In my humble opinion, these people know slightly better what the Daniel Craig-era of Bond films are about:
By the way, the trailer has hit almost 10 Million viewers (!!!) on YouTube in just 5 days. Now I call that stunning.

Ooowh sorry, but I thought this was the actual trailer-topic :-). It's a bit confusing. No harm done though. No spoilers in those videos.
Unfortunately, unless Sony release a split dialogue/sfx/music version of the trailer to press, unfortunately not. Was specially recorded for the trailer.
For those interested, did the same hi-res screencaps deal with my copy of the teaser: https://www.flickr.com/photos/antovolk/sets/72157655978929330
Just found this now:
In all honesty, rewatching that qos-trailer again kind of made me disappointed back in 2008. Despite that car chase, everything else felt like a revenge film. And while it's full of action, it doesn't have any wonderful memorable signature stunts, like a helicopter barrel roll, a chase in the snow, or a much better edited car chase.
By comparison, the spectre-trailer looks 10 times better and way way more satisfying.
