I'm in 1000% agreement. I intend to listen to some John Barry 007 scores today and then re-watch Dr. No tonight.
I posted this to the "Happy Birthday" tread, but I'll added it here as well. Its a cool photoshop noting that this date (October 5 1962) is a defining one in the history of popular culture.
I've got 3 degrees, had 4 jobs and lived in 5 places during the time of Craig's era!
Same, same, and same! :-O
The moment it becomes available for streaming, it will be copied and pirated, like any other movie.
Why not release it for a short period of time in drive-in theatres?
My guess is that outside of the US there are not many drive-in locations. Bar the odd one of two. I think any film once released is subject to piracy and it's no different filming a cinema screen as it would be recording a tv screen. It typically always ends in terrible quality. I think given the anticipation, SVOD or some sort of one-off premiere paid option seems like an ideal fix. Though with the recent letter to the US Gov't, signed by both Barbara and Michael for economic support for cinemas - I'm sure people would accuse them of hypocrisy if they offered NTTD via streaming sources.
As it will in every other country, where new movies get released on wednesdays.
My kids are going back to school next week. Last month, I was comfortable with this, as well as the idea of movies returning to theaters. The picture was much brighter.
Not anymore. I can't speak for the rest of the world, but the U.S. has blown this. This shouldn't be surprising.
The push back to April is necessary. But as I have posted previously, there are two issues at hand, now, that NTTD must navigate: 1. Whether or not the virus will still have a stronghold; 2. Whether or not movie theaters will still be in business.
Depending on whether or not theatres survive (can’t even believe I’m typing this), Plan B could either be a simultaneous PVOD and staggered cinema release where possible, a standard PVOD release, or something new. But an endless cycle of delays every 6 months has become wishful thinking as we head into ‘21.
The possibility of seeing a Bond film on the big screen again will largely depend on government support for theatre chains. If there is none, then we must face the reality that cinema-going will become a niche. As it stands now, theatre-going is not on people’s minds.
At last, someone mirrors what I've been thinking and trying to say. This is exactly it.
As others have said it seems a little bonkers to now be in a position whereby we’re wedded to a theatrical release in cinemas when it’s just not feasible. Globally we’re seeing rising infection rates - it’s just looking impossible.
I think most people have HD1080p/4K capable TVs, sufficient internet bandwidth, means of access ( consoles, Roku, Fire sticks, satellite etc...) and quality sound options like soundbars + surround sound. You could argue we’re better placed than ever for a unique Bond home theatrical experience. I’m not saying it’s an either or situation but you’ve got to be adaptable.

Fun fact: Linus shot the Aston Martin DHL Shanghai commercial

Tonight Show also tweeted out the guest list with Craig and her/brother
What's interesting to me is that we might have been wrong about Madeleine. She's not
In the East Coast of the US, it’s just starting now.
-DC explains that NTTD was delayed because they wanted the film to be unveiled at the same time and now isn’t the time to do it.
-DC said his Bond story wasn’t complete after Spectre, talked about storylines to finish the overarching story.
-Talks about his announcement as Bond back in 2005, says he was at a market when he received the news. He proceeded to buy vodka and had a martini for the first time.
-First NTTD clip after the break(!!!)
-DC’s advice for next Bond: Don’t f*** it up.
-DC says he received rough cuts of potential theme tunes, he sits in a car and cranks the song up to decide which song to go with
-DC’s favorite Bond theme songs: Skyfall, GoldenEye, Nobody Does It Better (Craig has a crush on Carly Simon)
-*SPOILERS*First NTTD clip: Bond on Matera bridge, chases some kid. He stops in the middle, car shoots at him and dives at a rock to avoid it. Primo and the car both go at Bond and he jumps off the bridge. Primo looks over the bridge, he has some bug eye thing going on.
-New TV spot (lots of new lines)
And Zimmer's score for that bit is unexpected, but gripping. Extreme tension and disorientation -- reflecting (presumably) Bond's inner state. Really feels like this clip is part of a much more specifically designed sequence. Not a "Bond moment" per se but a moment of desperation for the character with real dramatic stakes hitting him.
Loved it.
Intense and well crafted.
Same Q. Same
