This site is almost nothing but comments and opinions on rumors. And I think Mendes, while competent, is very lucky. My .02 is that CR was the superior film so I'm not impressed with SF's BO. Any decent long delayed Bond filM would have likely done as well or close to it.
It's not hard, any Bond films that stay true to Fleming novels are always better than original stories.
From AJB:
Could this be the same situation as the member here who claimed to have an inside knowledge and David Bowie would be singing the theme song?
He claimed to have seen the trailer, and gave some brief insider info on it's contents, seems pretty reliable to me.

I agree. I would guess that EON's biggest headache when they start work on a new film is trying to get a good script. The email leaks gave us a sense of the craziness they go through trying to get a decent script done.
Anyway it will be only a first teaser, there will be many trailers and spot Tv to come. And we are 6 months away from the release. We are lucky enough to see something
That's a rather bold, and rather insane, one-sided statement you're making here. Especially since "Skyfall" brought in $1.1 Billion worldwide. Perhaps you don't give "a damn about Mendes arty pretentious stuff", which I actually find disrespectful to say, especially since Mendes is also helming SP, but I liked it. I damn liked this "pretentious shit". Like I posted in another topic:
And moreover, stop panicking like a little kid. "Mission: Impossible" is indeed full of impossible missions. But Bond is NOT Mission: Impossible. Agent 007 is working for MI-6, not IMF. 007 is NOT using fake masks, he's doing his job the old-fashioned way. I'm all in for great action sequences. But what I'm not in for is panicking before we haven't even seen the upcoming SP-teaser trailer. And even if it DOES disappoint you, then stop trying to speak for all those people who helped "Skyfall" earning $1.1 Billion worldwide, and who are about to do the same for "SPECTRE".
And I shall be plain now. I hope the teaser trailer is, when it comes to style and tone, more reminiscent of this trailer:
And less reminiscent of this one:
No action would be fine. Mendes is bringing a level of sophistication and class. I think along with Campbell he gets bond. Christ knows how that Tamahori bloke even got a look in.
The same way lazenby did, i assume.
I think the problem in here sometimes is, that we're expecting too much, that we've become spoiled brats at times. We over-criticise things, putting soul and positivity out of the forum, whereas we are in essence talking about movies, pure entertainment, and not about real political events.
Just think in terms of the first teaser trailer for "Star Wars". Basically no contents at all, but a wunderful chain of events resulted because of that; the best kind of viral marketing ever. Just use your imagination a bit, and enjoy.
We'll get one hell of a Bond-film. I'm sure of it.
As for Mendes not knowing who's Bond's audience is, that is such a ridiculous statement. I'd say from the way SF was received outside of this forum that Sam did a very good job of knowing what the audience wanted from a Bond film. The fan community is a mere speck of what makes up the people who see these films.
=D> Agreed!
Besides studios want to make money ...they want to win at the BO. Does anybody here seriously think the studio wants a half a$$'ed teaser????
NO!! Just wait and see before ya right off the film.
Completely agree @mcdonbb
Have you checked some forums on IMDB by the way? There's a serious feud/war going on between M:I-fans and Bond fans LOL :-P. Check the forums from "Rogue Nation" and "SPECTRE". What's next, UNCLE-fans become the mediators :-P?
