A thug runs, seemingly out of breath, in a very long tunnel.
At the far end of the tunnel we see the contours of a man appearing from the darkness.
The thug freezes in pure terror. He grabs a gun and empties 6 chambers.
He waits, sweat dripping from his face. We now see things through his eyes.
And as such we see a single flash of light at the end of the tunnel, hear one thunderous explosion. Just one, and the screen turns into a blood-red circle, followed by a faint hint of the Bond Theme as we fade to black and the following text appears:
James Bond has returned.
Scene:
Open on a mug of earl grey tea in hand with the image "Q10" visible.
We slowly pan up to see Ben Whishaw, and linger on him quietly walking down the halls of MI6 past dozens of doors, occasionally sipping the drink.
He has ear buds in, and the faint hum of an orchestral piece can be heard in the silence of the scene.
He rounds a corner, and walks up to a door plainly labeled "Q Branch Laboratory".
He opens the door, and the camera is locked closely on the side profile of his face while he walks across the large room to his desk. Blurred people in lab coats can be seen working in the distance on various shapes and objects.
He gets to his desk, puts the mug down, and sits in his chair.
We linger, facing him, his eyes only visible just above a computer monitor as he adjusts himself and his belongings into a comfortable position. His eyes slowly curl up and notice something, looking seemingly into the camera. He slowly stops his fidgeting as his brow straightens into a stern look.
Cut to Daniel Craig as James Bond from Q's perspective, the agent's back turned to the camera and looking down at an absolutely thrashed Aston Martin, nonchalantly inspecting the damage.
Bond slowly turns to notice Q, and straightens his hunched posture, hands in pockets, with a seemingly blank expression.
Slowly a smile carves across his face, and the screen goes black.
It reads 'James Bond Will Return October/November.'
Scene.
Nothing actually from the movie, just a fun little skit to get people excited for the release.
Here's the 'Happy Birthday David' video:
I'm with you on the simplistic trailers. Thankfully, MGM ditched voiceover man with CR, which had a brilliant teaser trailer. I hope the trend continues with Bond24.
Incidentally, this video demonstrates how effective a trailer can be. There's no dialogue, no voiceover, no plot details, no shot of the creature itself, and yet it is scary as hell. Along with it's simple poster and brilliant tagline, this is probably one of the greatest marketing campaigns of all time.
I am of course referring to Alien:
Basically, I want something similar to the Goldeneye teaser :P
And at the end, the music dies down and we catch a glimpse of a white cat before we cut to the films title and release date.
