Feel free to share those assumptions.
Hmm...hard for me to pinpoint exactly. But a couple of things: NTTD looks fast paced and does not from what we know look as heavy on action as SP. Now, there are three setpieces scattered throughout (SP had five excluding the fist fight on the train). The first around scene 40 (Matera), the second around scene 100 (Cuba) and the last (Scotland/Norway chase) after scene 160. Then there's some sort of showdown at the end we know very little about, because they are interior Pinewood shots. If this was a three hour movie, we would either have very long action scenes or have them too far apart, meaning almost 45 minutes of dialogue before something big happens.
Secondly, the first encounter between Safin and Bond takes place in the 3rd act, where Bond is captured. So besides an introduction in the PTS, almost two hours will pass, before the villain enters the frame again?
If what we have seen in the trailer indeed are the money shots - bridge jump, bike jump, rotating DB5 (same setpiece), exploding boat (probably Cuba) and car turning over (Scotland) I just don't think that this looks like a 2 hr 30 min + movie. To me it looks like it's much shorter.
Don't know if this make any sense, but there you have it.
Naomie Harris said there are tons of twists and turns.
I agree, only if the intel is true and up to date. I was being polite. I don’t believe it’s a 2hr 50m film, personally. You know how it works, there will definitely have been a cut that long at some point I’m just struggling to see that being close to the final cut.
Yeah, she did....she even mentioned 'Shock' as well.
Everything else was very predictable.
And here's Johnny ... VERY glad to hear about this:
This time around it will be that nomi is bad and Felix dies
Me too! Drop a Manc into the mix and it’s a guaranteed win.
I will have to make sure: no liquids prior to the film. I made that mistake with SP and was uncomfortable, with a pretty full bladder, for much of the second half. It sucked.
His other films are all overlong IMO.
Yes, agree. We cut out about 15 mins from LTK. Most was tightening up scenes, but 4 to 5 complete scenes were deleted. I'd guess something similar on NTTD because Bond films never seem to get into major re-editing, re-structuring, and/or substantial cutting of complete scenes.
I won't judge you, as the only way to appreciate SP is having a drink, or two, or even three before. Heck, bring the bottle.
It wasn't your bladder, it was Mendes getting out of ideas.
I didn't know about her before this, but I've heard Bad Guy many times on the radio in my car last summer. It's a catchy tune but pretty meh.
That said, there are very few trendy singers and bands I'm a fan of so I don't really care who sings the Bond song as long as it's good.
I don't imagine we'll hear about the GB until the reviews start coming out
It’s referenced in the trailer lol.
Yes it was, although that scene seems to happen towards the end of the film, I don't see that as anything more than a playful shot that was done purely for the trailer.
What you see in the trailer will absolutely not be the gunbarrel of the film in any traditional sense (they won't do a repeat of Casino Royale). I'd put all my money on it.
I'm sure this is correct. My hope is that we get the exact same gunbarrel as from Spectre; punchy and perfect. Failing that, the gunbarrel from GoldenEye, the last good standard gunbarrel. ;)
I always got the feeling they have shot another gunbarrel. That video from the title announcement is so close to how a gunbarrel is shot, that I find it reasonable they shot both that video and the gunbarrel on the same day.
Craug has said there were some things he still wanted to do with the character. Is one of those a gunbarrel in a tuxedo?
(Which, in pop culture, is classic Bond. Yes, it didn't happen until TSWLM, but it's what everyone thinks of when they hear gunbarrel.)
