Yeah, maybe it just seems a bit too close to his hands though....from TSWLM....sort of vague...but in LALD & TMWTGG....it's crystal clear it's his wrist.
Sorry but the GB from SP looks like an afterthought.
They would have had to reshape it for the 2.35:1 aspect ratio, which is why they shot a new one.
Story goes that George was happy with his first take and when they asked him for a second take, he kept deliberately messing it up so they had to use his first one!
I think, I also read it or heard this being the reason, why they shot a new GB for TSWLM.
I only recall SP doing that. Certainly wasn’t present in SF.
I always liked that in Binder's era, each Bond (Simmons included) had their own individual gunbarrel stance. I do like Craig's pose in SF and SP, though. Reminds me of the US 1 sheet poster for LTK.
Also, NTTD is apparently 3 hours long. There's no excuse not to present the gunbarrel in it's full glory, rather than the truncated versions we've been getting.
+1
And to the separate suggestion it's intended as an insult to the audience, to me that's like taking Q's line about exploding pens and "we don't go in for that sort of thing any more" as anything other than an in-joke. These items are obviously presented with the intent they're to be enjoyed, whether a person likes them or loathes them.
Yeah I think you’re right. It did look really good though; I hope they do that again.
I wouldn’t mind if they reused his walk from the Spectre one: I think it’s great.
That reminds me of the hilarious scene of that happening in the interview/dramatised film about Lazenby, 'Becoming Bond'.
One article was a little bit misleading. The GB was filmed on the day of the set visit, which was prior to the last day of shooting.
As that title reveal came out a good two months before the barrel was shot (on the last week of filming in October) then no.
However, the other indicator is that they were shooting the Cuba stuff at the time the barrel was filmed.
Hear, hear.
My fav gunbarrel of them all, the one from OHMSS.
There's a 'corrected' version of the Spectre one on YouTube and it's rather lovely.
There's no correction for perfection ;)
Perhaps we could get something similar with the gun barrel? Given the young Madeleine sequence doesn't feature Bond, it doesn't open with a gun barrel. Once that sequence ends we then get a gun barrel which segues to Bond and Madeleine in Italy, and then once that's done it segues to the title sequence.
I'd prefer if they stick to the classic way. We've had Bond-less PTS' before.
