    I've watched trailer several times... why so nick picky on the CGI? Seriously its fine.

    Its obvious CGI because no one in their right mind except maybe Jackie Chan would do something so dangerous.

    Sorry just my opinion.

    Daniel Craig speaks out on his future as James Bond: 'I just need a break'

    Daniel Craig was in no mood for false promises.

    Having wrapped production on the 24th James Bond installment Spectre in early July, just days before an interview with EW, the British actor was facing a question that has dominated the celebrity news cycle for the last few months. And as a reluctant self-promoter under the most optimum circumstances, he seemed none too enthusiastic about answering it.

    Post-Spectre, Craig is contractually obligated to appear as 007 in just one more film. As bookmakers and industry observers feverishly handicap the actor’s replacement — Damian Lewis? Idris Elba? Tom Hardy? — I had to ask: How much longer can we reasonably expect him to play Bond?

    “I can’t give you an honest answer at this point,” Craig said, reaching for a double espresso in an opulent London hotel suite. “It’s not that I’m trying to play hard to get. I’ve just given it no thought whatsoever.”

    “This movie has taken up two years of my life. And I just need a break,” Craig continued. “I need to get back to normal life. I need to reintroduce myself to my family who are not best pleased with me. The idea of planning ahead — I’m not trying to be coy. People want an answer and I don’t have one.”

    Longtime Bond producer Barbara Broccoli stops short of confirming the 47-year-old actor will carry on with the role beyond the as-yet unformulated and untitled next installment. But she calls Craig the “beating heart at the center” of the franchise and praised his ability to lure such high-caliber supporting actors as Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz (the villainous Oberhauser in Spectre) and French actress Léa Seydoux (007’s love interest in the film).

    “Daniel has reinvigorated this character,” Broccoli told EW on the set of Spectre at London’s Pinewood Studios in May. “He’s made it contemporary, given it depth and resonance and humanity. The part is his. He’s so great and attracts so many people who want to work with him like Christoph and Lea, Ralph Fiennes and Ben Whishaw.”

    Look out for EW’s Spectre cover story later this month.

    I'm starting to think Craig is a walking contradiction...

    First he says "at this time no" he doesn't want to do another one.
    Then he says he's contracted for one more and he'll keep going as long as he's physically able.
    Now he says "people want an answer and I don't have one".

    I wish he'd just come out and say if he'll be back for Bond 25 or not. Please stop keeping die hard fans like me in suspense! I absolutely love Craig as James Bond and can't fathom him being replaced, at least not yet. If he does AT LEAST one more movie I'll be more than satisfied. But please don't walk after SPECTRE.

    It's a publicity stunt, really. If he keeps people in wonders and gives them various answers, that will help grow interest in the audience and they will literally run to see the film in theaters as fast as they can, to find out the truth behind the many speculations they have heard from magazines and journals.

    I won't comment right now on this because this is massive spoiler, but I've looked at the French version, and now I know how they dealt with some English French translation issue that could have been very telling in this trailer. They have chosen the safe way :)

    Looks like a CGI DC transitioned into the real thing for the leap to me. CGI (potentially part model) building. Hard to tell as it isn't HD. Certainly looks like it'll be one of the CG heavy shots from this movie.

    I'm very confident it's face replacement on a stuntman that does the whole run and jump for real in a green screen environment. Notice how the face is hidden at the end of the shot, like in the silhouette fight in SF.

    Will have a butchers at the HD. I'm sure you're correct. In hindsight it makes sense.

    Then he says "people want an answer and I don't have one". - this interview is from days before the filming wrapped at the begining of July

    For all of you, the final full (IMAX) theatrical trailer in screenshots. Be stunned. Be awed. Your jaws will drop.

    I do agree that "Mad Max: Fury Road" (John Seale A.S.C.), "The Revenant" (Emmanuel Lubezki A.S.C.), "Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens" (Daniel Mindel) and "Sicario" (Roger Deakins A.S.C., B.S.C.) are strong competitors in that field. But it also works the other way around. I also think Hoyte van Hoytema F.S.F, N.S.C. is really outperforming himself based on what I saw from the trailers. Probably.....Roger Deakins finally wins it. But so far DoP's like Daniel Mindel and Hoyte van Hoytema haven't won any big prize yet.

    Anyway, judge yourself:

    7R9qwUlPn.jpg

    KiDLUq.jpg
    i8QS3p.jpg
    1agrJES.jpg
    hsDle6.jpg
    PWAvEY.jpg

    One more thing. While I said myself that van Hoytema seems to be a perfect follow-up to Roger Deakins, he creates an atmosphere for "SPECTRE" that's entirely different from "SkyFall". While both films amaze us with wonderful wide shots and aerial landscape shots, they both 'feel' entirely different.

    @Gustav_Graves I don't think it's particularly an IMAX trailer, though I agree it has without a doubt masterful cinematography.

    Thanks as always @Gustav_Graves :) The first page of the Trailers thread should be edited to include your list in the first post... maybe it already has something like this, I haven't been in there in awhile :S

    EDIT: Just checked and it has some of the videos but isn't as comprehensive as your list. I'll just bookmark this page.

    I know nothing about cinematography, but to me this looks unlike any other Bond movie. The colours seem a bit yellowish and bright, especially in daylight scenes. Kinda similar to CSI: Miami and Swordfish (the film with John Travolta, Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry). Is this just for the trailer?

    Do people worry at all that they've already seen so much of the film? There's been something like 10 different officially released videos with Spectre footage, that a lot of the good stuff must already be out there.

    Additionally, teasers and trailers aren't really for us in the first place. They're designed to be put in front of other films, and on television to get people interested in the film, IMO they're not really designed for people who are already really excited about the film. This is all in my opinion, of course.

    I don't know, I've been having these thoughts leading up to the announcement of Spectre that made me decide to not watch anything. I was just wondering if anyone else had similar thoughts. Is anybody out there worried they'll be thinking "ah yes, saw that in the trailer" every 20 minutes when they're finally in the theatre?

    Want to know what people think.

    Only watched the first teaser and tv spoit and stopped there. Haven't listened to the song and won't dwell too much on any pictures either. All been a waste and totally in vain as some twat blabbed the end story in the thread discussing WotW which has really deflated my excitement and anticipation. I wonder why did I bother and also go to the trouble of getting the best seats on the first showing in my local Vue on the 26th when I can just sit here and have someone spitefully go on a spoiler rampage unexpectedly.

    For whatever reason I'm not putting to much stock into those comments. I read what you read as well. Even if what was said is 100% true it's such a small piece of the puzzle of a cinematic Bond experience that I can't let it bother me too much, but of course, I understand why it's frustrating.

    Edit in an effort to clarify what I mean: Bond films have always been 100% about the journey. The ending to a Bond film in the case of the last 24 films has never been some enormous revelation or anything, with the exception of maybe Skyfall, and OHMSS. Of course its frustrating when someone discusses what may or may not be the factual plot points of a film before we've seen it, I'd hate for people to think that it's all been ruined because of reading something they didn't want to know. I hope this all makes sense.

    I don't think it's all been a waste or totally in vain @andmcit, and I know you're going to enjoy those great seats come the 26th :)

    I really hope you're right @NickTwentyTwo I really do.

    I see extra snippets of the story suggested in the stills on this page that I hadn't really expected but of course I'm on a thread where things in the public domain are being shared so it's at my risk I'm here and I see them - there's a point where I can't keep a complete news blackout as I really love Bond!

    It's a done deal as far as getting everyone here to see SP as you say - at any other time anything and everything Bond will be avidly devoured and picked apart in great detail in discussion here so looking for anything SP is largely going to be second nature for many and won't trouble their viewing of the new film.

    With future Bonds I have always wanted to stay as much out of the loop to keep an element of wonder as the story unfolds = I tread a quite difficult line!! I imagine it's going to be a bit gutting for you and others seeing their first showing on the 6th Nov where many have already seen SP and are deep in discussion about it. I can see that being far more difficult than what I'm aiming to do!! Best of luck with that one!! :D

    I tried to resist watching the final trailer, but I gave in. And it looks so good, f***********************k I'm excited. This looks like it might beat CR for best Bond film.

    I have to say, I'm really pleased these trailers aren't shoving all sorts of spoilers down our throats. Hell, we really don't even know anything about the plot either. Too many movies these days are being ruined by trailers.

    Also Sony Russia announced a Moscow premiere, date and attending cast TBC.

    Hmmm. Bit of a worry. Same length as SF but SP seems to have a hell of a lot more action. I was happy with the action to non action ratio is Skyfall which means this movie will most likely have too much for my liking. What a pity. Still, when it comes to modern Bond films I know never to get my hopes up too much.

    I'm confused. So, at this point we don't even know if Craig will do Bond 25? I really hope he does at least 5. It just seems like a well rounded amount. I would never get my hopes up regarding him doing Bond 26 (I would love it) but just one more for Craig would be really good and seems realistic.

    Well, CR is 1 minute longer or shorter than SF and had more and better engaging action than SF without compromising on the non action scenes. I think SP will definitely handle the quality and frequency of action better than SF without it coming off as hollow action porn.

    It's just that too much of anything, no matter how good it is, for me, is overkill. It hinders my enjoyment of the film. CR had a bit too much action and I would have liked the film more if it had have had less. SF had a good balance for a Bond film at least. Funnily enough, I do like CR better than SF. It only had slightly more action than SF though and was an expanded adaptation of a wonderful Fleming book. They messed up CR with the dull sinking building scene where they should have expanded on Bond's romance with Vesper instead.

    Personally I liked the sinking house in CR but the action in SF for the most part just didn't grab me which makes me enjoy SF significantly less than I'd like. I think Mendes is smart and capable enough to not turn SP into a collection of action scenes and setpieces that occur every 3 minutes.

    Nice response to reassure too much worry.

    Seriously people don't seek things to worry about.

    Oh my God is the movie saturated with
    so much yellow that we can't see it?...

    Or is there so much CGI that it will look like Cars 3 or DAD?...

    Or is it so long that we'll have to spend the night?...

    Or is Sam Smith actually singing the theme?...

    Oh crap! Forgot that.....

    The abundance of action issue in contemporary Bond films is an entirely relevant one. With the exception of Skyfall and to a lesser extent Casino Royale (this film still was a tad too action heavy but was a masterpiece following the idiotic Brosnan era), the Bond films have suffered from this since Goldeneye. It was the catastrophic Brosnan era, the Bond movies that are a disgrace to the franchise that kicked this all off. The healthy, sane balance sadly ended with License To Kill.

    A big part of the reason the Brosnan Bond films did so well is due to the fact that this is James Bond, a franchise that has endured for so many years and has changed with the times and because Bond is such a household name that many will run along to the cinema to check out the latest installment regardless of the reviews. It's lucky they changed things up post DAD, otherwise the franchise may very well have met it's death. Fortunately for them now, they have talented actors and directors behind them to keep the series alive but if they are going to sacrifice story and character development with mindless action then they will eventually take a nose dive down the toilet. Fortunately they have the sense to return to basics every few films and save themselves but not without ruining one's enjoyment of a few Bond films along the way. Aside for the ridiculously embarrassing Brosnan era, QOS is the worst Bond film in the franchise - non stop action with very little story. An absolute mess of a movie. Then they redeemed themselves with SF. Regardless of whether SP is a good film or not it will still do well at the box office as it's Bond. Let's see what happens next...

    Enjoy SPECTRE and let's hope I'm wrong in my fears (maybe the action scenes will be on the shorter side). :) Unfortunately I wasn't in the run up to QOS.

    Thank you. Someone had to say it.

    Also Sony Russia announced a Moscow premiere, date and attending cast TBC.

    Hmmm. Bit of a worry. Same length as SF but SP seems to have a hell of a lot more action. I was happy with the action to non action ratio is Skyfall which means this movie will most likely have too much for my liking. What a pity. Still, when it comes to modern Bond films I know never to get my hopes up too much.

    I'm confused. So, at this point we don't even know if Craig will do Bond 25? I really hope he does at least 5. It just seems like a well rounded amount. I would never get my hopes up regarding him doing Bond 26 (I would love it) but just one more for Craig would be really good and seems realistic.

    IMDB now states the movie runs 150 mins. And earlier there were already reports the movie was going to be 147 mins. So I guess we need to focus on these possible running times. Just 3 mins longer than "CR" perhaps.
