Agreed. I have to wonder if people have enough going on in their real lives.
They could easily hold a press conference without giving away that Blofeld is back... I believe there is a possibility that Mendes is not happy about the production and it was his decision to cancel the press conference.
By the way, how does a guy from South America get all these news while nobody in Europe knows anything?
They will probably still announce the title. If not, then at least we will know that Bond 24 truly is doomed. When was the last time there have been two great Bond films back to back? We should have learned our lesson by now...
Have no idea.
The press around Bond films are usually nuts, there will be the typical blitz of press intrusion and set visits when the Bond team leave Pinewood. Numerous outlets will post about the film throughout the year during this period so it makes sense for them not to reveal too much yet.
Furthermore, the Daily Mail's recent Blofeld news may have put EON on the back-foot especially since they reveal the sleight-of-hand they hoped to pull off with the Franz Oberhauser reveal. I'm excited nonetheless, @marketto007 any idea when it will be?!?!
But they could talk about so many things without saying anything about the plot...
Unfortunately not my friend, the only official words I received was there's only will have a Photocall, instead of a Press Conference.
This is what I'm suspecting. Yes, they can hide the truth, but might just be embarrassing to be asked constantly about Blofeld returning.
Marketto - is there a certain "tone" in the way its reported? That gives an idea, whether its something P2D says or that indeed something is not on par, which I firmly believe, is not the case. Just your impression.
They could easily hold a press conference and not allow questions... I say it's time to press this button: http://a.mytrend.it/inte/2014/10/544515/o.258942.jpg
Not official, but you can always trust marketto007 .
Hahaha, what would be the point of a press conference where no one asks any questions?
You will likely be getting a photocall and a press release revealing the title, crew, cast and locations, etc, with a few choice quotes from Mendes, EON and Craig.
We know from Baz that a table-read of the script has likely taken place this week or last in London so keep an eye on his Twitter tonight. Thursday around 11pm is typically the time he releases news.

Are you kidding me? The point would be them talking about the movie (they could easily talk about Bond 24 for hours without saying anything about the plot and repeateing themselves if they really wanted to). 99% of the questions are useless anyway.
that would be way inconspicuous. Anyway, we are far from certain there'll be no conference, are we? Until there's an official announcement, we should remain calm and skeptical.
In a small alpine village in the middle of nowhere?
According to a Dutch journalist who interviewed Nolan a Swedish journalist called Van Hoytema a Swede. Nolan responded and corrected: 'No, he's totally Dutch".

In this video, when asked about how much he feels himself Dutch (around the 00:50 min mark) he replies: "Actually 100%."
This is the XXIst century. There's little nowhere to find anymore.
Remember the press conference's only purpose is to promote the film. It's a marketing gambit. They may have done a cost-beneifit analysis and determined there are more efficient means to market the film.
Press conferences are a big production. They involve all sorts of logistics and staging considerations and costs. And they can fall apart if you can't get the right people there, all at the same time.
As we saw from the last two effforts, they dodge most of the questions anyway.
I would not be surprised if Mendes had made it known, he might wish to avoid such a dog-and-pony show, this time around, especially when he can't reasonably answer much of what is being asked and might want to be focused on his work, rather than talking about it.
And if they were planning on introducing a Waltz as Oberhauser ruse, and that cat is out of the bag, that might be offputting too, as the Waltz as Blofeld question, was guaranteed to come up.
Just seems there any number of reasons for deep-sixing the hassle of a full-blown press conference.
A controlled photo-op and controlled official announcment could very well serve their advance marketing needs, better than a long-winded news conference.
You have to admit, the SF presser was tedious to listen to. Torture even.
The odd probing queston ( as opposed to the barrage of fawning questions) was generally dismissed.
An official announcment combined with a photo call could very well accomplish what they need to get done.
The best part of the SF presser, IMO, was all the great photos it produced, and not much else.
I still cringe at some of the lame answers we were burdened with, because the principals couldn't rightly disclose the answers at that point, if they even knew the answers.
