The notion of releasing it on GJBD was simply wishful thinking by fans. Primarily, it demonstrates the naivety and lack of commercial awareness many members here possess.
Whilst we may have a romantic connection to the notion of a ‘Global James Bond Day’, from a business perspective dropping a trailer on a Saturday almost guarantees to nullify interest or attention. If there was a major sporting event, then sure, drop it. But without any kind of incentive, it would not generate “buzz”. It would essentially disappear.
Trailers and marketing campaigns are planned months in advance. The plan was to always release it in October. Probably with Gemini Man. That film is released globally on Thursday……………..so expect something either today, Tuesday or Wednesday.
Basically, it was never coming on the 5th - but it most likely is coming this week!
This, absolutely. Didn't think for one minute we would get the trailer on the 5th.
If not Gemini Man, then probably Maleficent 2 the week after.
With the hype of (Global) James Bond Day gone, I can actually see them releasing it next week and not this week, as Maleficent is bound to attract larger audiences than Gemini Man. Terminator is R-rated, so I doubt they'd go for that, similar to the discussion we had with Joker.
Star Wars is too late for the teaser, IMO. I know @antovolk has his mind set on the first full trailer to be released with that film. I'm a bit more sceptic about that now. If the teaser is indeed for this week, there'll be 10 weeks between the teaser and first full trailer. Seems to me that that is too short.
Alternatively, and this going to sound very weird and is just me freewheeling, they could redo the teaser completely (stuff some shots from the Italy shoot in it, as @ggl007 said he'd heard), and release it as the first full trailer in time for Star Wars. But that would mean we don't get a teaser. Which is probably not happening, but I'd like to hold all options open.
Are we sure they wouldn't wait for a teaser with Star Wars and release a full trailer early next year?
The first teaser for SF arrived on May 21, 2012. SF premiered on October 26, 2012. That is a gap of 159 days.
If we count back 159 days from April 8, 2020, it gives us a date of November 2, 2019 (a Saturday). Which is one day after the release of Terminator: Dark Fate.
Which is why a release period from now until Terminator: Dark Fate (and a bit beyond that) would make sense. My point was about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which I personally think is too late to debut a teaser trailer. Terminator could perfectly work, but the reason why they maybe won't is because of the presumed R-rating, not because of timing.

She actually said ‘massive surprises’, Screenrant choosing to reword it.
Either way, her comments are intriguing.
The Moneypenny actor isn't the only one who's impressed with No Time to Die's current story, either. The film's script was rewritten by Killing Eve and Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge after Boyle stepped down,
Goodness sake.
I'm expecting a countdown and date announcement.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Naomie Harris? Since coming on board the franchise, Naomie has been one of the greatest ambassadors of Bond. Always positive and enthusiastic. She’s the Miss Moneypenny we deserve :)
Me too, but i never expected a title announcement video to appear out of the blue, either.
But I don't think it'll be today, as 007.com's Focus Of The Week™ is Mollaka which they already had back in March. So I presume their Tweet of the Day™ is going to be that link and nothing else.
““It’s a tie-up of Skyfall and Spectre. But with massive, massive surprises that even had me like, ‘Oh, wow!’ So I think we’re going to really shock people.”
Interesting points, @Pierce2Daniel ! It shows how little I know about the business of marketing a film :) Thanks for these clarifications. As I said, I wasn't angry - to get angry over something like that is a SERIOUS first world problem - but I was surprised. Now I realize I shouldn't have been!
Of course it is PR. Naomie Harris is very good at getting attention for speaking about Bond. That's what she is paid for. And of all the returning actors she is the best in promoting the franchise.
So "massive, massive surprises" and "we're going to really shock people" are phrases she uses, so that everybody talks about it.
I mean: what could a "massive surprise" be?
Not even Bond having a child or Bond dying would be a massive surprise as lots of fans already fear something like this might happen. Even Madeleine being cloned would be no surprise after the "Genome of a Woman"-title rumor, before it became "No Time To Die".
A massive suprise has to be something no one to this date ever thought of.
