I like the alternate pose he did as seen in the TND trailer.
Agreed x 3.
I'd agree with that.
That's a good point; I'd forgotten about that.
Yeah, he just needed to bend the knees a bit :)
There's just no reason the gunbarrel doesn't open the film up.
+1
I don't care that much about the next film title at the end, but gunbarrel is something special and unique.
Sadly, now I think we won't be getting a regular gunbarrel in NTTD. I hope I'm wrong.
Me, too. It would be typical of the Craig era tampering with it just for the sake of being different.
What a great post. 100% correct.
It’s obviously something ‘cool’ to end the trailer on. It will probably wind up being in the final film. After all, why build such an expensive set, spend the morning positioning the camera, rolling film and rehearsing with Craig if it doesn’t serve a purpose.
It’ll just wind-up being an Easter egg. In fact, this isn’t the first time that a Bond film has incorporated a GB into the movie. Something very similar was done in TLD. It’s just a cool little visual motif that sends a pang of excitement down the audiences spines – as we are all in on the reference.
NSNA also did something very similar, although there it was incorporating the actual Gunbarrel itself.
You're right. Good catch, @Pierce2Daniel. I forgot about the spotlight.
Oh and for the record, I think having the gunbarrel is important, but where it is in the film, how it looks, etc. should continually change as long as it makes sense. In the long run it'll give each film more identity.
In terms of design, I think they should take SP's barrel but have light change as it moves like the Brosnan ones.
Lastly, IMO the trailer shot is meant to evoke the appearance of the gunbarrel, but I sincerely doubt that it will serve as one. It's a tunnel not the barrel of the gun...
Here's an even more specific discussion if it's useful.

I’d forgotten about the specially-shot bit in the CR trailer where Bond looks into the camera sat at the casino table until they used it in the ITV trailers for the Craig season this Christmas! :)
So the shooty bit may well not be in the film. My guess is that it might well be, but I guess we can’t know.
