Bond 23 press conference to be held [on 3rd November]

Kananga

Sky Active - is this the 'red button' thing? I have Sky News so can i watch it on my TV?

No, it's a service only available online to Sky subscribers within the UK. No news on whether the conference will be able to be viewed via the red button yet. I'd hope so but this being Sky... ;-)

How annoying.

I have Sky Go on my PC so i will try on that. i really want to see it live!

Risico007

i just wanna know the title and see the footage

There is no guarantee that they'll even show footage.

There is no guarantee if they even shot any footage yet either.

I took that comment to mean footage of the conference.

HASEROT

if the presser is at 11:30am across the pond.. then what time would that be here in the states?.. Eastern time zone, that is.... forgive me, but i am terrible with time zone stuff. lol

7:45 it will kick off for you then @haserot. The first 15 minutes will just be the press babble build-up.

@shadowonthesun did a handy guide somewhere...

EDIT: And there it is!

PanchitoPistoles

11 hours to go! :bz

HASEROT

thanks again.

I hope the next eleven hours are going to consist of more than people simply counting down to the press conference ...

Kerim

Would it be possible for the actual conference to be on a separate thread without spoilers?

shadowonthesun

I was thinking the same thing, @Kerim. We've got half a dozen threads dedicated to details of the announcement (the annoucement itself, casting, etc.). Maybe it would be easier to have a single thread for discussing it.

But I think it would be very difficult to discuss it without discussing spoilers. It would be better to have one thread for spoilers so that people who dno't want to know can shy away from it.

After three years of waiting, this is so exciting!

Agent_OO7

So what time will this go down for Eastern (Toronto) viewers?

Just heard the Press Conference will be held on the THE CORINTHIA HOTEL in London. Mr. @JamesPage know if this is accurate info?

It certainly looks like a location for a Bond film and/or press conference:

Why would confirming or denying that do anything other than hamper their preparations? As I mentioned, last thing they want is hordes of fans outside.
MI6 will be reporting live from inside the event on the Live Blog in the morning.

Looks like the conference will be held on the Hotel's restaurant.

James, no offense, but if it wasn't the fans...they wouldn't even still be doing this kind of things, for the past 50 years.

If they wanted everyone to know where it was, they would have put it in the press release, and not just the private invite.

shadowonthesun

Hmmm, that Sky News link (freetv.com) isn't particularly good - it keeps pausing an needing to re-buffer. I'll leave it open for a while and see what happens.

JWESTBROOK

Shadow, the link is fine on my end.

SN:
BBC America doesn't have it scheduled for 7:45 am (US East Coast). Its World News until 8, but Graham Norton afterwards.

Crossing my fingers, and getting to bed now. See you guys at 7:30/11:30!

JamesPage

That Sky News link is just a recode of the feed from the Sky News front page. It is the International edition (packaged stories - not live) if you are outside the UK. You can watch the live UK feed from their homepage, no dodgy links required.

JWESTBROOK

I couldn't find the Livestream on the homepage, but I'm watching a stream under showbiz, linked from the Bond article. So hopefully its the right one. WHY ISN'T THIS BIG BOLD PRINT FRONT PAGE STUFF

marketto007

Can you provide the link @JWESTBROOK ?

Can you provide the link @JWESTBROOK ?

Yes, please..

doubleoego

Wait, so will this be shown on regular sky news or do you have to press the red button or do some other techno nonsense?

PanchitoPistoles

Less than 3 hours to go folks! :bz

@JamesPage Is this the first time MI6 is invited to a James Bond press conference?
