Lucky man.
No, there was a press screening of SKYFALL on October 12 at the Odeon Leicester Square. Mendes said back then, that he finished the movie 48 hours before. That would be October 10.
The red carpet premiere at Royal Albert Hall was on October 23.
The the movie was finished 2 weeks before the premiere.
So I think we can expect, that SPECTRE will be finished in the first week of October.
And still no trailer? How common is it in Hollywood to release a teaser 4 months before the official trailer itself? I have to say, I was behind this aggressive marketing strategy from the beginning but the whole thing seems to have become rather redundant. The teaser should signal the beginning of a slow build up leading up to release. So far we had the reveal, the teaser and very little else. Sure there have been tons of speculation in the press, and those production vids help pass the time, but what was the point in starting the drum roll so early if you have to maintain the same rhythm for long stretches. Things should be building, not remaining steady.
Are you sure about that? What I remember is him saying how he worked with the writers in coffee shops around the world during PRE-production. Editing a major movie in coffee shops doesn't sound very likely.
He was talking about how down to the wire it was to get the film ready in time, I presume they needed the caffeine to keep focused. Anyway it's not uncommon for creative types to carry out their work In a public setting.
You can't edit a film especially a major film in a coffee shop for not only technical reasons but also for legal/contractual reasons.
Its a nice thought though....
:D ~O)
I don't exactly see why not. There is usually free wifi available (even in rural areas) so what's stopping them. Unless there is some hazard that they could spill it on the laptop so they weren't allowed?
I just watched "Spy" and I liked it. But I also kept thinking: That Paul Feig must have loved the Daniel Craig Bond films. Because I really had a feeling this film was not only a great Bond spoof, it was a great spy/comedy/thriller that got its inspiration from the Daniel Craig era of films ;-).
Tell that to George Lucas and his higly advanced film studio coffee shop! ;) ~O)
Well, editing in itself seems a very complex, time-consuming and nerve-wrecking affair. I watched some extensive documentaries about the editing process for TSWLM and TWINE. And believe me....Lee Smith now gets some difficult work to do now.
Remember what Peter Hunt said after he edited YOLT? He was blunt and said: "No! I'm not going to be an editor anymore. I want to be a director now!" :-P.
In all honesty, I think with slightly longer films (less than two hours for QOS and TND) you get films that....feel rushed. I don't mind to let the characters...breathe a bit no? Look what good it did to OHMSS and CR (and in my opinion also SF). If some of the action sequences are truly memorable and also don't last too short, I think 145 or 150 mins would be a fun ride no??
"Really nice gifts from Bond. It's a pleasure working with the Post Production team and everyone else who is involved in making this great looking movie."
Evren works for Vivid Rental, a company providing post-production editing systems and cutting room facilities for Feature Film & Television.
PS: The note says: "Thank you for your hard work and dedication on SPECTRE. With love and thanks, Michael & Barbara"
I wonder if Marvel is doing something similar, "With love, Marvel" :-P. In all honesty, EON Productions may seem huge and big money spenders, but I really respect these gifts. It's an aspect of a typical family company that is still regarded very important. Bravo.
This is exactly what I posting about earlier. There has been a void of any news from EON about SP, and it has only led to the press and the net engaging in nothing but rumor and speculation about Craig's replacement and other junk to fill the void. Some posters think they are just pacing the promo, and it will come in time. Well, SP starts press screening in about 3 months and for some favored sources even a bit earlier with a slightly unfinished film.
SWs has had 2 teasers and tons of official pictures out and HGs has had a teaser and a full trailer both out and they both open after SP. People complain about spoilers in trailers etc. but with a huge amount of film shot, they hardly have to go there for vids, or film pictures, or a new trailer or some print articles that focus on the major stars of SP (Craig, Leas, Waltz and Batista), not MP and Mendes who are of zero interest to the general audience. There is going to be a glut of promo from tons of competing films opening in the coming months that SP's marketing is going to have to compete with. Just seems weird.
There will be tons of promotional material for SP in the coming months when sponsors like Heineken start up with their 007 TV ads, magazine spreads and interviews, announcing of the title song artist, etc., etc.
Length of shoot doesn't, as a rule, correlate with length of film. If you've got a logistically complex shoot day you might get a couple of shots in the can, whereas on a soundstage shooting a dialogue scene with less set ups you'll probably wrap an entire scene. That said, given the breadth of locations, set-pieces and what Mendes did with SF, I imagine it won't be a dissimilar length. It's hard to tell, even for those who've read the script, because it's almost a given that scenes have been omitted, changed, etc. I do think the studio will be keen to keep it under 2:30 again. The shorter the runtime, the more showings they can fit in.
