I actually liked the "overdue holiday" line, though I'm not too keen on his delivery of it.
When I first watched the trailer my mind immediately connected that line back to the conversation Bond had with Mallory in M's office in 'Skyfall', when Mallory says "go and live quietly somewhere".
I think an "overdue holiday" is as a close as Bond will ever get to going off and living quietly somewhere.
Since when is a slight joke THE rule to not have any gadgets anymore? I find that rather preposterous. Actually in SF Bond gets his first two proper gadgets: A signature gun with palmreader and a small radio. It all reminds me a lot of FRWL, where Bond gets a nice attache case. It's not a big overblown gadget. It's deliberately kept small.
And now, in SP, can we finally have a bigger gadget? Similar to how GF followed up FRWL? On top of that, there's a nice detail about the installed gadgets. They seem to be in some kind of...test-phase. The buttons look rather clumsy on that modern leather dashboard. So even during the film, the gadgets are still in development:
I can only say this: The Craig films have re-introduced every, yes EVERY, Bond aspect in such a refined, nuanced way over the course of 9 years and four films. From 007 to trivial things such as gadgets. It's unprecedented in Bond history really.
;)
Analyzing things like this are pointless at this point.
Confirmed. I was the one in the backseat who filmed that shot, too.
@MadeleineSwann, which is funny, because I loved a LOT of the line delivery in the SF trailers, and then most of it was changed in the final film, and I didn't care for how they were delivered, so let's hope it is an opposite story this time around. If anything, I'm sure a lot of it does sound awkward or out of character because of the trailer editing.
YES! Silva's "Mommy.. was.. very.. bad." In the trailer was so much better than the delivery in the film. I remember being not taken, but thrown out of the film when I heard it in the theater. I immediately knew they had changed it. Perhaps because I watched the trailer a million times, but still - pick the best and stick with it the whole way through!
Surely it looks like it's him
Thanks !

However, do be warned there are SPOILERS, it goes through the content of the Sony email leak, but in a systematic and journalistic fashion.
It's interesting to note that an early title mooted for 'Spectre' was 'The Death Collector', a reference to Fleming's YOLT.
Also revealing are Sony's projections for the film: $500m internationally and $200m domestically. They are some rather conservatives estimates, but I recall that before SF's release Sony predicted the film would do $800m, and that's considering the obscene amount of hype it had. I imagine they are lowballing.
I think that is only half the line. There seemed to be something else he is about to say that was cut. This is why the delivery may seem off.
And in a "reading far too much in it" fashion too. Sometimes he writes that the Sony executives pondered about something in order to do something, as if it was a long mail exchange, while the basis is actually a SMS by a single person written in the tone of a joke.
And the chronology is a bit weird IMO. This I can say, for the rest I didn't read "everything" in the leaks it seems, I for instance didn't read about "The Death Collector". His source is possibly outside the leaks for that ?
Geez, it really does! First thing to go through my mind was THE 15 YEARS LATER AFFAIR, the UNCLE TV movie from the early 80s, which has Lazenby in an Aston 'saving' Solo from baddies.
Don't imagine SPECTRE is going to go THERE, though. It's going to have enough trouble shoving its grand unified history of reboot Bond past any discerning audience members left. Movie franchise-wise, I'm detecting AP3 with painfully injected doses of LW2 and ST5, a combination that just does not add up for me.
So do I.
Agreed. I much prefer it over Spectre :(
IMHO wth r u saying? What does ST5 AP3 stand for? And its not Matt Damen seriously lol
Not surprising though. And I'm glad if they do because some of the chapters titles are absolutely brilliant and very usable.
If Bond 25 will be a sequel to SPECTRE and Blofeld returns to the series, i wouldn't mind if they use it for the next movie instead of another one word uninspired title like "Blofeld" or else.
