I really want to share your optimism. And I did, until Green Knight and The Duke were delayed this week and now this statistic of France’s negative test requirement decreasing box office sales by 70%.
I, uh, think assuming it'll be "a few years" until it's released is perhaps a bit too pessimistic.
He was asked for how long the movie is finished. He said that they finished around March and that they did some final synchronisation after the first delay „because it was not finished“ (??) and that he hasn’t seen the whole movie so far. He doesn‘t know how the film ends and he is not allowed to tell.
Yeah. But optimism is the only grip we can hold on to at the moment. To be honest, my major worry during the multiple delays wasn't necessarily about me not seeing the film, but was if the film's plot would be intact. And so far, with all the deciphering that has been going on by fans, to my surprise, the plot is still a ghost...which is a good thing. So it would be a very good thing if the film comes out in October.
Agreed. There is still so much we have no idea about…
The filmmakers should put together an exciting but droll 2-minute Bond film short, all new, unconnected to the NTTD storyline.
It's not like they haven't had time.
Like this. A official recap:
So they should do both.
Thanks, @Tuxedo!
I'd cut the recap differently, but this would certainly be good especially if they focus on it being Craig's last film for the marketing. I'm surprised it seems to have only been produced for the Far East market.
I think you only have to show evidence that you have had the two jabs, you don't need to have a PCR test every time you go to the cinema. But as 50% of the French population, from the stats I have just looked up, hasn't had both jabs yet I can imagine that would dampen cinema attendance.
The movie itself was finished, but the dubbing work was not finished when the first lickdown happened. So they had to do some more work on it in August/September 2020, I think.
It will also be interesting to see if they update the Aston Martin to the current model using CG, as I mentioned above.
Apparently NTTD Final Trailer.
New US TV spot! Marketing restarting with the Olympics -

Love those big "Bond is Back" lettering, and ending it with the pseudo gun barrel. Can't wait!
I think this alleviates our concerns about another delay after the green knight and the duke. Would you agree?
Excited already!
Interesting new style, too.
Also believe this may be a new angle:
Actually no. Old footage.
I’ve been trying to look at the timing of when the delays were announced vs. the release dates. This week will put us at 2 months from release. The March-November delay was only 1 month before release but that was when everything shut down. The November-April delay was announced in early October, just under 2 months prior to release and they’d already spent money on a second trailer and we’re marketing it again. Then the delay to October 2021 came in January.
Obviously each delay was different and it’s hard to establish a pattern gut tells me if no delay is announced by mid-august then they’re going full steam ahead unless there’s a last minute shutdown of cinemas in Europe.
Of course, they could decide that just not enough people are going to the theaters and delay it again anyways but that seems less likely. Fast 9 and Black Widow showed that there is still a lot of demand for movie theaters although black widow seemed to have been hurt by the simultaneous streaming release.
Or people are getting tired of the overexposed MCU, not too mention a boring character as the lead.
Could NTTD homage GF, OHMSS & SP with clips from previous movies? I think it’s possible.
