The road to NTTD has been so long and not exactly smooth, so that will make not watching anything even harder.
Yes, I think I have to amend that prediction. A bit of dialogue would be great. Also, totally plausible, since they gave the Leiter-looks-for-Bond away in the synopsis.
I don't know. If we believe the quotes from the Daily Mail, then this development was never supposed to surface. So I'm curious to see how they handle it: use it now it's out, or go in denial once again. I'd bet on that last one, but we'll see!
Also, curious to find out if much is made of 'Craig's last mission' and if the other films get a mention, like SF did in the SP teaser. If they go all out with the connections (Blofeld, Vesper, Leiter, Madeleine), then maybe that's reflected in the promotion as well. Maybe we'll get a retrospective video just like Star Wars got.
End of April- B25 cast reveal
End of June- on set video
End of August- title reveal
End of October- teaser?
It seems to work every 2 months. More likely this is just a coincidence, but given it's suspected that Matera is opening the film, I think they may include a lot of that stuff in the teaser and wait until filming has completely finished.
I actually think we're gonna get quite a mysterious trailer, askin to Spectre and Skyfall teaser trailers. I don't think we're going to see Blofeld, we may see Malek briefly or in shadow, we'll definitely see Lea and Lashana. I don't think Ana will appear to be honest. MI6 may not, depends on their role, and Letier will definitely appear. I think we'll mainly be in Jamaica and London, but small action tidbits from each location. Just my thoughts.
And yes I hope they replicate the previous trailers of SF and SP. That SP one was so good! Although Universal does have a habit of showing too much in their trailers, I felt I saw the whole Hobbs and Shaw movie based on the trailers alone.
Exactly. It's ready to go, they won't hold off releasing it any longer than in time for Joker. Keeping fingers crossed for next week..
Yep, that's the method ;)
I still remember downloading them to quicktime just to go frame by frame in hd. And that used to take a helluva long time.
It's a ritual I always look forwards to.
Don't play with a man's feeling, next week seriously. Hope you or anyone get some confirmation by the end of this week but they might drop it unannounce.
That's what has killed films for me in the last several years, feeling like I know every beat and the overall layout of the entire film before I even get to see it. I want to go in as blind and clueless as I possibly can this time around. April will be here before I know it.
It's too hard to resist, isn't it? Fair play to anyone with that level of self-control, but I unfortunately do not have it when it comes to these things!
Oh God, yes. It kicks in very quickly, like a cinematic twist on the placebo effect. Suddenly the film feels far more real and tangible and the hype goes through the roof. I'm looking forward to perusing the reactions on Twitter.
Also, yes. The days of dial-up!
You're a stronger man than I, @Creasy47!
@Minion, I've debated the same. I really, really want to avoid all official footage - I did watch that B-roll type announcement video from a couple of months back, though, and it looked amazing.
Nobody's blaming you, I wasn't wording it like that at all, merely to say that I feel like I've dove way too heavily into everything surrounding SF and SP to the point that no surprises, twists, or grand unveilings really seemed to await me when I finally sat down on opening night and saw the film, so this time I've gone in the opposite direction - totally blind and unaware as to what's going on. I know of two shooting locations, some cast members, and that's about it.
I know @Creasy47, my comment wasn’t directed at you, old pal.
Got it, apologies! But yes, that's what I'm (trying) to stick with though I won't be remotely surprised if I cave in a matter of weeks once it goes live. A new Bond trailer of any kind is going to be near impossible to consciously avoid.
You could follow our reactions to it and description without watching it, but that would be tortuous, IMO. I’ve tried that once, for about 30 seconds before I caved in and watched it like a true ocd Bond maniac.
;)
I totally see your point. Trailers spoil pretty much everything. They did in the past (just look at the trailer for Dr No) and they do it nowadays (ugh, Terminator Genesys). So I can't blame you if you're not going to watch it (in fact, I envy you because you're stronger than me! :D)
I, on the other hand, don't really care since I watch Bond movies hundreds of times anyway; I know them by heart and I still enjoy them. Moreover, Bond movies rarely have huge twists and all of them follow the same formula.
I usually hate spoilers about tv shows or casual movies if I know I'm going to watch them once or twice at max, though.
Is it weird if I say I get the same exhilarating feeling of watching the film for the first time when I watch the trailer for the first time? So it's a win now win later situation for me.
Then again, I've always loved trailers. It's a lost art, as far as I'm concerned. There are few and few good trailers nowadays. They used to be rubbish in the 50s and 60s and then they reached gold era heights in the 80s and 90s, only to be ruined again by those mini-trailer-teasers-of-the-teaser-trailer-whatumamacallit-nonsense they have that usually ruin the entire plot and have all the best scenes in it. Gone are the voiceovers, the symbolic teaser, the trailer titles, all of its art. Still, I do like myself a good trailer. The new Top Gun trailer and the Fallout trailer struck some cords, they were done the right way, and were very rewatchable.
What was the best Craig era teaser/tailer combo, in your opinion(s)?
For me, it's a tie between CR and SF
