Germanlady

Yes, thanks a bunch. Looks great.

Great pics. I really love what DC is wearing in the Austria scenes. He looks bad ass.

bondsum

Thanks @aaron819. Just had a quick look at some of the stills etc. DC is looking much better in SP than he did in SF.

PS. Mendes has just gone up in my estimations; he's a fellow Gooner (Arsenal supporter)

Ya Know, if you are at all worried about spoilers maybe shouldn't be cruising the internet until the film comes out because there will always be slip ups. Then you can catch up afterwards with the rest of the fans. After all even that VLOG just gave away a handful of new info.

You're absolutely right. If you're really avoiding spoilers, you're taking your own life into your hands on this site, of course. I'm avoiding as much as I can but I still visit because I like the community, so I realize that I'll be seeing something things i'd otherwise have avoided.[/q

I get both sides but yea if your trying to stay truly spoiler free that's kinda hard here..

Everybody just so on edge it seems until SP finally here.

Thanks Aaron and Marcos. They are all just stunning. I would say these are some of the best behind the scenes photos we have had since CR.

Ah, I know it would be ridicolous to release it in November.

Every Bond year for me has FOUR pivotal dates. And I don't care if I hear the song earlier than during the actual premiere of the film:

--> Date no# 1, the title song release: This release date gets me not just excited. It gives me insomnia. I start re-listening all the scores, organizing the collection of Bond songs and scores I have. I become close to 'autistic' in the sense that I don't care so much for other people :-P. The actual very first time I hear the song is the moment where I can either be very happy (release of "SkyFall") or very bloddy disappointed ("Another Way To Die"). The date for the title song release is upcoming Friday, September 25th.
--> Date no# 2, the film score release: Another 'orgasmic' date for me. It's another pivotal 'premiere date'. I don't care if the title tracks spoil me a bit. Come on guys, even without those SonyLeaks we have already been spoiled a great deal thanks to the very essence of a forum, our beloved MI6community. The very first time I hear the score, I will surely put the score on repeat constantly. I can have a very good feeling, in that I approve of the score (Thomas Newman, "SkyFall"), but disappointment also happens (David Arnold, "Quantum Of Solace"). The date for the film score release is Friday, October 23rd. I hope the first track will include the gunbarrel sequence ;-).
--> Date no#3, the UK royal premiere webcast of the film: I closely watched the webcast back in 2012 of the Royal Premiere of "SkyFall" at the Royal Albert Hall. Always lovely to see all the stars, especially previous Bond stars. I still recall Sir Christopher Lee arriving with a walking stick and a great sense of humour on the red carpet. Also cute to see actor Ben Whishaw being so happy like a little kid. As if he never experienced that before. Royal premiere webcast will be Monday, October 26th.
--> Date no#4, the first ever time I bloody see the new Bond film in cinema!: Back in 2012 my first time viewing was so flawed. You know why? I made a mistake in the reservation. Me and my friend went on Friday 10:00 PM showing in Barcelona, and then at the ticket control the tickets said "for viewing on Saturday, 10:00 PM". I was begutted :-O! We could see the film at the very back of the cinema. Nasty experience, as I couldn't see the main title sequence properly :-(. Will not happen again this year!! Premiere date in Barcelona, Spain is Friday, November 6th.


And guess what, the first pivotal date is tomorrow already :-O !!!

I doubt it's that short could possibly just be a place holder till official screen time is announced. I'm sure it at least as long as skyfall if not close to it.

Germanlady

I thought it was 140 min. something.

andmcit

Hasn't 160 minutes already been mentioned on this thread?

aaron819

@antovolk Still no find of the new tv spot?

jake24

I'm surprised it hasn't been released officially yet. It usually doesn't take this long.

SkyfallCraig

Maybe it will be at 5 gmt..

Well I wouldn't mind if it's something more elaborate. I know there is a great deal of warranted and unwarranted distain for CGI. There is an incredible amount of virtually flawless effects work out there that is so good it goes unnoticed. If this is the "villain's lair" I want something spectacular like in the Connery and Moore films. If that means top notch CGI, then so be it.

You should read this article via Google Translate. It's about a talented Dutch film school graduate who got the chance to work on "SPECTRE", on Steve Begg's CGI-department. And it really makes me think that we are treating those guys like shit on here!! Digital effects nowadays are only truly noticeable when we're actually re-watching movies. And then those CGI-effects actually help making the film more realistic as well:

The Google Translated Version:

Stef Mesman from Lisse gives James Bond a little hand in SPECTRE

The name is Mesman. Stef Mesman! The native of Lisse jump earlier this year jumped in the air of extatic joy. Just graduated in the field of visual effects in movies, he got the chance to work on the latest James Bond movie: "SPECTRE". He works since late June at Double Negative. The British company is one of Europe's top specialists. The official release date for "SPECTRE" for the Netherlands, October 29th, 2015.

"Recently I spoke with a manager within Double Negative," says Mesman. "It was about how my experiences in the past month. In the beginning it is especially training. It then looks at what movies you go to work. From above it was decided that I was "transferred" would be the Spectre department."

Traineeship
The latest James Bond film, "SkyFall" (2012), attracted two million (!!) Dutch moviegoers. Worldwide viewed state that production in terms of visitors on the twelfth of all time. "Especially in the UK, James Bond immensely popular. Normally, it takes years before you can get involved with "the big boys". I'm just this year graduated from the Dutch Film Academy. I can say that a dream is fulfilled, to work on a film with so much respect."

Last year was already Mesman placement at Cinesite, another company in London that is expert in the field of digital visual effects and computer animation. He devoted himself to the movies "San Andreas" and "Maggie". This year Double Negative offered him a 'traineeship'. "I was super excited. I sent my portfolio, resume and cover letter. Three weeks later, I received an e-mail. Yes! Through the first round it. For the second round, I flew with thirty enthusiasts to London. We had to present our portfolio to each other and people from the business community. This included a call. It was a kind of talent show. Applicants from countries including Japan, Russia, Sweden and New Zealand. Five days later I was told that I was on. And again ten days later I was able to work in London."

Responsible
The specialization of Mesman within the world of visual effects is 'digital compositing'. "I am at Steve Begg's "SPECTRE" department responsible for, for example, the removal of safety wires that are used for stunts, the replacement of faces in the context of stunts and the replacement or adaptation of environments. Each shot has its challenges. In a film like Spectre it's about everything one hundred percent really should look like; no monsters or aliens."

"Eighty percent of our work is invisible to the public. Twenty percent of the viewer know that it is human or physically impossible to perform such stunts. It's my job to make it look as good as possible. That people believe one hundred percent. Bluntly: my work is a kind of "photoshop", but then for 25 frames per second. In everything I do, get engineering, mathematics and artistic insight into the picture. "
