Thank you so much. I'll raise a smile for my dad when I see those dots appear on the screen (well, assuming Cary has the respect and sense we're assuming).
There's a real kinship in the Bond community. I hope life finds you all well. 🙏🙏🙏
I'll raise a smile for your dad as well when those dots appear. As all of us should. For your dad and for your valuable work on the front line. Stay strong, @DrClatterhand.

Do you have the magazine?
Maybe a crew member?
Just checked. That's looks just scary and weird, like a doll face. I get the feeling of a ventriloquist dummy
Look at his eye. It's giant. And the nose as well. It doesn't look human at all. Something is very odd with that face. Like a dummy of some sort.
It's a person standing outside the Vantage. Probably just a crew member caught by the camera accidentally during the shoot.
Would be cool if it were a clue, though. Either way, new content is back and I'm happy either way because it means marketing is slowly returning. I can't wait any longer.
If I squint, i can just make out Ash? Altough I think it's way too blurry to really tell - probably just confirmation bias. I would really like to see more of Ash though, because we have not had anything solid about him in-movie, adding to his character's mystique.
Ash for reference:
Here you go, from the April Total Film magazine:
[...] But Fukunaga wasn’t going to let misty-eyed farewells and arbitrary milestones get in the way of a good film. “No one’s trying to say some sort of long sentimental goodbye. It’s just another Bond film. The credits still say: ‘Bond will return,’” Fukunaga smiles. “I didn’t approach it as a last film. I approached it as: What am I inheriting? What can we do to make this a little bit fresh and exciting, and subvert some of the expectations?”.
I see these two dolls in that face

But sure, it could just be distorted angle of a tree reflection or a crew member looking like a doll
I like what I hear here.
Oh yes. There was a lot of interesting stuff in that article, like this section:
[...] Wilson describes Craig’s five-film arc as “a little miniseries within the series”, a sentiment Broccoli echoes. “This film feels like a good bookend to Casino, because his emotional evolution gets to a place where we’ve never seen Bond before. So that’s pretty exciting”.
For Craig, the opportunity to explore a different, deeper side of Bond was a key reason to come back. [...] “On Casino he loses the love of his life, and then the shutters come down. On Quantum, the flawed movie that it is, it’s about revenge. And Skyfall is about M. It’s about loss. They’re big themes. And I think, ‘Yeah! Why not have big themes?’
The themes of No Time To Die? “Love and family,” asserts Craig. “Because what’s bigger than that? [...] As for “love”, that thorny issue goes back to a question established by Casino Royale. “At the end of the film, when he says, ‘The bitch is dead’ he’s renouncing the idea of romantic love for himself,” says Wade. “So the question set up by that is: ‘Can he ever actually find happiness?”. The memory of Eva Green’s Vesper Lynd will loom over No Time To Die like a storm cloud for Bond, after he’s once again seemingly betrayed by a woman he loves – Léa Seydoux’s Madeleine Swann.
A little miniseries within the series - haha, that's funny. A lot of fans probably see it that way. Interesting how the "big theme" of Spectre wasn't mentioned. I've had mixed feelings for a while about making the continuity heavier for Bond films, mostly because of the way I thought it was rather forcefully executed in SP. If it had been more natural going from film to film, I wouldn't be quite as skeptical, but also the Bond films have worked just fine without it. QOS though is a fairly direct sequel and I enjoy it a lot. The bottom line still is of course that I will enjoy NTTD as long as it's a very good, well-made film, regardless of how connected or unconnected it is to the others.
Such a great poster image. I have this as the background on several of my devices. :P
If I had to provide a theme for SP, I would say it's 'resolve', in that rather than being driven by vengeance like in QOS or by personal loyalty to M & MI6 in SF, Bond is driven, from the very start, by commitment to finish a mission no matter how many rabbit holes it takes him down (Sciarra's wife, finding Le Americain, rescuing Madeline, etc.) or how many personal things it brings up (Brofeld, the loss of the women in his life, etc.), to the point that on the bridge, he realizes that vengeance, loyalty and anger don't have to drive every decision you make. He's completed the mission and won the day, he has chosen not to let his emotion get the better of him, and he walks away satisfied.
And now we see how that plays out for him five years later. I'm so effing excited for this movie.

What I'm really after are the DHL BTS vlogs - I'm sure we'll finally get a bit of new footage/information from them.
Had the weirdest vision in my dream of a scene in the basement of Safin's lair of Madeleine reuniting with Mathilde and hugging her. Was pretty disappointed when i woke up and realised it wasnt a real leak and was just my head making up content during the content drought :)) Hopefully in the coming weeks more is to come, this marketing ramp up looks promising.
The big themes in SP revolved around death and life: the title card and PTS gave that away. But it seemed like a culmination of death/life themes in the previous films.
What's interesting is how much Bond's arc is mirroring Daniel Craig's...or vice-versa. If Bond...
