No, a teaser trailer will be released on March 28 according to Marketto, and at CinemaCon
Maybe both are happening? Do we think the 7mins could be a scene from the Austria sequences seeing as they're pretty much done with that aspect of the movie from what we've seen. I'm sure they have a little bit of stuff to do in Austria, also depends if they wanna do any reshoots once they go into editing.
People are getting confused about the timing - what's happening when.
Sony won't (or at least aren't planning to) show a trailer at CinemaCon, they'll show what I mentioned.
Oh I totally agree with you. That's what I'm saying they'll release a teaser trailer in March and show seven minutes of the film at CinemaCon. I'm just wondering what will be in the seven minute clip.
Bond seems pretty aware in GF, SWLM & TLD what the car does so @JCRendle I'm not sure what Bond films you've been watching?
I'm sorry my 37 years of being a Bond fan obviously doesn't count for much.
Anymore amusing pictures you can post to make certain other members think you are so witty in your short time posting here?
Should be actual film footage - scenes etc...
Who found those emails? Who first said anything about this clip of 7 minutes?

Exactly. We never saw the Skyfall 4-minute CineEurope footage from 2012.
If anything we'll get scene descriptions as many movie bloggers will be there. And this is a good indication that we'll get a trailer before CinemaCon i.e. lining up with Marketto's March 28 date.
What I meant was that Bond usually seems to grasp a gadget without much explanation from Q.
For example, from Brosnan's tenure:- Look at when he jumps in Q's fishing boat in The World is Not Enough - he knows exactly what he's doing, even though Q hasn't told him anything about it.
In Die Another Day, Q gives him the instruction manual to the "Vanish", which he disregards and shoots through with the tracking guns.
In GF, Q tells Bond about some of the gadgets on the DB5, granted - but he doesn't mention the tire slashers, yet Bond knows exactly what to do.
I wasn't saying that he wasn't aware of what the cars or gadgets could do, I was saying that he was aware of what the cars and gadgets could do without much explanation. He's cocky and he would often be distracted during Q's explanations
I'm sorry I offended you, it wasn't meant intentionally I assure you, but I do find that Bond is able to pick up gadgets without too much explanation.

I'm sorry if you don't find my images amusing, but I fail to see what that's got to do with anything. I respect that you've been a Bond fan for 37 years, but that doesn't take away from any validity of opinion that I hold either - I have watched all the Bond films, read all of Fleming's Bond novels and short stories, plus several (granted not all) of the continuation novels I've got a good collection of books and magazines chronicling the production of the movies - I think that my opinions count just as much as yours.
One clapperboard for each crew- and cast member's birthday. LOL :-P.
GF : Bond uses all the gadgets, we have an iconic scene, and in the end.. he gets caught. Because he can't kill an old lady. Because he's fooled by a mirror.
After that : Bond uses a gadget.. to escape successfully most of the times. When the gadget fails, well, it gives us for instance the LALD escape scene : another iconic scene.
So in GF, we still have the Fleming plot "Bond is not a superhero, he gets caught", we don't have the deus-ex-machine gadget to solve the writer's problems. It was IMO the major problem with the Brosnan movies in particular : it's hard to remember a time when we witness Brosnan's Bond being witty, it seems he's just Batman with an utility belt for every problem.
Oh wait, in DAD, Brosnan's Bond uses the ejector seat in a witty way, though. Hm.
Don't worry too much... On one side, yes, we have some people who read the leaks who post here, and toy dangerously with the "you know I know" attitude when they interact with others. But on the other side, I can tell you there are some things here that are taken as granted about SPECTRE's plot, that are very, very wrong from what we can read from the leaks.
But well, the difference between the early scripts and the last scripts seems quite monumental on some aspects, according to the comments on them we have in the leaks (in one year, we'll be able to sing the praise of a "hero" who stood up and said "No way" when he read the Logan script...). And the difference between the very last scripts post-Logan that were leaked are less impressive in terms on quantity, but they are on some critical points. So they probably still continued to tune that after the leaks...
So, surprises ahead for everyone, probably.
I can hardly belief that "a lot of us" have read other peoples e-mails.
I completely agree with you. Just an example. The invisible Aston Martin Vanquish from DAD for example, and its ejector seat. Obviously the screenplay writers came up with these "very cool ideas" for the sake of being very cool. Moreover, the inclusion of the Aston Martin was foremost product placement.
Because A), it's ridiculous in the first place to make a car invisible. It doesn't serve any purpose to saving possible lives. Actually, it causes only traffic problems, IF there's a real car chase involved. We saw that when that skidoo hit the invisible Aston.
And B), the way the ejector seat was used in DAD is the best example of how gadgets should NOT be executed. As a means of putting the car back on its wheels? Give me a break. It didn't have any purpose at all. I actually would have loved to see Bond escaping that car while it was on its back. A bit like @RC7 proposed.
Also C), Writing in the Brosnan-era, especially for DAD, was quite bad. As a screenplay writer one can immediately channel his/her creativeness and influence on the writing process, once the screenplay writer now that there will be an Aston Martin in a film. And then to make it fit into the plot in a believable and credible way. That obviously didn't work in DAD.
So now we have another Aston Martin in SPECTRE. I think we can safely assume that that one gadget from the Aston Martin DB10 will be used in a better, more credible way, and that it'll actually have a real purpose. Perhaps Q says something like this to 007: "
Most of Q's briefing happened off screen didn't it?
The Jag and DB10 in SP are also product placement. Those who've read leaked emails might have a better insight into this, or perhaps not, but it stands to reason that a discussion between the manufacturers and EON would have been under way for some time. To strike a deal that is mutually beneficial, but is something the screenwriter knows they must include. I find it unlikely that Logan would write a car chase and then EON start talks with the manufacturers. One would imagine the process producing set-pieces is similar to the way EON have always worked, where 'Car chase in Rome' or even simply 'Car chase' is an idea that is kicked around very early on and accommodated by Logan. I don't think this scenario is any different to DAD. Haggling over the the minutiae of how
I wonder what that purpose is in the era of films. SF opened the door it seems, where CR and QoS were taking risks by keeping it shut.
