The trailers for The World Is Not Enough were very good. The narrated trailer is a lost art.
An important part of the On Her Majesty's Secret Service failure myth.

I think goldeneye is the only good brosnan trailer, the rest have a weird uncomfortable man talking who doesn’t belong there.
Previous Bonds excepted, I do enjoy Brosnan's reveal in the GoldenEye trailer and Connery's narrated Christmas gift Diamonds Are Forever trailer and others. But they're also a part of the times and likely can't be easily recreated in good taste.
What the franchise has been superb at from 2006 is its teaser trailers and trailers.
Excellent sound and vision. Telling a mini-story in a compelling way.
Looking back at The World Is Not Enough trailer, I long for something like that to pop up, again. The pacing, the editing, the music, the scenes that were put all together are all perfect. It lets me know I'm watching a James Bond film. I also rather like Don LaFontaine's narrating voice.
I'm tired of people speaking ill of Brosnan already!
;)
I know, and no thanks.
When the world is the target and treat is close. Do you stil think one direction. Dit not think so.
When the world is the target and treat is close. Can you stil depend on one man. Dit not think so.
When the treat is real and the world is the target. Do you expecting somebody eles. Think so.
Sounds like they were using Surrender by kd lang from TND in this trailer :P around 1:21, and a brassy bit before that as well, maybe I'm just hearing things?
Also I've always found the trailer for Goldeneye to be absolutely bonkers, in a really good way. Made the film seem so exciting (and it was, I loved it and still do).
-Title: The Property of a Lady or Risico.
-Jeffrey Wright returns as Felix Leiter.
-No Madeleine or Waltz Blofeld. Don't bring back Hinx either.
-The actors of MI6 can remain, but they need a more behind-the-scenes approach. They were in the field too much in SP.
-A perfect gunbarrel at the film's opening; close to SP, but have the barrel move and don't add any captions.
-An original, one-off villain. With the exception of OHMSS, it seems like EON can never nail down Blofeld as a Bond film's main villain.
-David Arnold returns.
-Roger Deakins returns.
-Sam Mendes does NOT return.
-More stripped back like CR and QoS, less grand than SF and SP; I think a smaller scale and maybe a little less action is what the next film needs.
-Tone similar to CR (gritty but still sometimes humorous), and approach similar to CR and SF in the sense it can work within Craig's series and also as a standalone.
-Some kind of tribute to Roger Moore would be terrific.
Everything here is great.
And for me personally it would be set in the unexplored time that is after QOS but before Skyfall because I feel like skyfall and spectre are a withered bond whose nearing retirement and arguably retires at the end of spectre so I would rather it just end there.
Nolan directs a remake of Thunderball (cuz EON wants a non-McClory stamp on it) with Tom Hardy as Largo, Amy Adams as Fiona Volpe, and Anne Hatahway as Domino, with a short cameo from Gary Oldman as Blofeld.
OK, back to our regularly scheduled program.
But it would sort of make amends for skipping from Bond Begins straight to Old Man Bond in Craig's run.
Disadvantages: None, really? Fiennes isn't M, I guess. And you don't have Q or Moneypenny. It's just Bond doing his thing. But at this point, given feedback on this board, would anyone really consider that a bad thing? Would free up a s***-ton of screen time for Tanner. Okay, I guess that's a disadvantage.
The prequel idea of going in-between QoS and SF is appealing to me. They don't need to worry about picking up from the messy ending of SP and can do whatever kind of movie they want. Tanner I definitely want to see less of; truly a useless character. I'm so interested to see what direction they go in for Bond 25. You'd think it has to be more original and exciting than SP. I found SP to be fine entertainment, but it lacks the punch of Craig's first 3; the stakes just never feel that high for some reason.
And besides, it would really screw up the timeline. Knowing Eon and their recent three films, they'll shoehorn a shedload of things that will feel forced. Forward is always the best option in almost everything, including life itself. That's one of the reasons I don't like prequels in general.
Would you rather them continue directly from SP with the entire cast returning, or have the prequel?
I was just testing to see if you had to, if you'd rather take everything about SP for another go or try a prequel. I agree it could work if they try something standalone after SP. They will just have to work the story cleverly to make it not awkward.
I wish Tanner wasn't there at all, but that probably won't happen. I think Whishaw is a good Q and Harris is a good Moneypenny, but they definitely should have smaller roles. Ideally the cast would be kept of those two, Craig, and Fiennes as M (he does well), but handled differently. I don't particularly want to see Seydoux or Waltz return, even though I don't think they were the problem with their characters; we just need a fresh start for a Bond girl and villain I think. Regardless of if Bond 25 is a hit or not, it might be for the best for EON to sell it if they feel they are running out of ideas and want to do other things. If they're losing interest in Bond they need to give it to someone else. Unfortunately I occasionally got that vibe in SP with the times it falls back on tropes and plays it too safe.
I like Christoph Waltz and Lea Seydoux. But, both were terribly miscast and wasted due to awful writing. Waltz didn't leave up to his potential, and if anything, should've just stayed Franz Oberhauser. Madeleine is an underwritten character who really doesn't spark my interest in her, and neither does Lucia Sciarra. However, I'd welcome Monica Bellucci in the role once more if her character turns out to be rather useful. In my opinion, she should've been Bond's companion throughout the film, and not a shoehorned Madeleine Swann.
