Let's hope you are right because last nights presentation in LV hardly seemed to blow away the exhibitors or the press, and Lord help us, this footage could appear again in the next trailer. The audience wants a red-meat Bond adventure with beautiful, sexy women, glorious locations and great action. But sadly while that footage does exist, Mendes keeps using critical promotion minutes to shovel a boring Harris and Moneypenny at us and promote Bond like it's a John LaCarre mystery. The killer spy/action film competition must be thrilled.
Have some faith. EON has this figured out.
For one, I am glad they didn't go all action crazy in the teaser. Characters and plot should com before action, action scenes are the results of characters decisions and the plot. Both the novels and the early movies were fairly low on action, by the way.
But anyway, the teaser did what it needed to do: give us a peak of what was at stake, what threat Bond was facing.
Yeah, I know "they" know what they are doing, but they also supposedly knew what they were doing when they let Logan drive the script into the ground for a year while they held back to the very last minute before finally scrambling desperately to fix the thing. It's a crazy business and I just think their approach to these trailers, emphasizing only drama, and worse, lots of MP, is just questionable at best.
YES! That is what I love about DN and FRWL (two of my favorites), they are low-key (little action) action stories that focus on the character, just like the books. GF annoys me because it is heralded as the best but truthfully damaged what made a Bond film great. Suddenly, girls and action and spectacle and fun were at the forefront and Bond as a actually character was sitting in a cell. That was why Connery left the role, lack of character development. I actually find that the films tend to do better when they deliberately don't follow the Goldfinger formula, like OHMSS, CR etc. I would love to see a return to the tone and pace of those first two films, this makes me excited for spectre even more. My only quarm is that I hope Mendes doesn't focus on the past, family, childhood, symbolism, etc I just want a straight Bond adventure!! Anyway, the more I think about it, you are right!! this trailer says a lot about the tone and focus of film and it has me brimming!!! well done :D
The Las Vegas event is for theater exhibitors. It has absolutely nothing to do with the general audience.
I love what they're doing not showing the usual action and promoting the film like it's a mystery. Good to have some originality for once in the Bond universe. As for the action, of course it'll be shown in another trailer! It's called building things up. Only a section of the general audience, that being the teenyboppers and action junkies would be pulling their hair out over this. Anyway, a section of action was shown at comic con.
I probably shouldn't have read about what they showed at comic con but it sounded pretty cool and Flemingsque to me. I hope they won't remove these scenes for the final cut in favour of just the usual action. I have to say though that I just don't like Harris as Penny. Mendes has done well with the casting but I find Harris to be very lacklustre. I just don't think she can act very well. The guy playing Tanner can act alright but this Tanner is as boring as hell. Kitchen, the guy who played Tanner in GE, TND and TWINE was fantastic and much more like the man in the books.
People often forget that Bond movies are first spy movies before being action movies. Which means investigations and quieter moments.
My favourite bond film was always FRWL for those exact reasons.
Projectionlist.com that has been reliable in the past months - how long I have been following the site.
They're projecting the Full Trailer for August 14th (Friday) that is with The Man from U.N.C.L.E, a film from Warner Bros. Pictures and Columbia Pictures. This makes sense to me.
I still think that we will se a full action packed teaser trailer before August, I'm thinking the same time as we saw the first Skyfall teaser trailer - end of May - Tomorrowland comes out late May also. I think that teaser tailer will include that montage they played at CinemaCon.
Let me hear your thoughts. It's a lot quiet at Production timeline in the last few weeks.
Yeah end of May (Tomorrowland and also Sony's own Aloha) sounds fair for a second teaser. Then main trailer at the end of July with Mission Impossible?
Also Man from UNCLE is just Warner Bros
I have been trawling the net for weeks trying to find high-def 1080p screencaps from the trailer with no luck. Does anyone know where I can get some of the entire trailer and not just the odd image?
It's in this thread. I'd check the first few pages after page 16. Someone has a HD download.
It's a ghost town over there!
UNCLE is nothing to with Sony or Columbia. Sony's Pixels is opening July 24, that's going to play big to a wide audience. Whether its "compatible" with a Bond trailer is debatable, but its Sony's biggest movie until Spectre. And they can also generally release the trailer at that time so it can play with Mission impossible, win win.
Or June or August?
There will be a second teaser trailer, released on Friday, May 29th, and will be attached to Sony's Aloha.
The theatrical trailer could either be released on Friday, June 12th, and attach to Universal's Jurassic World, or on Friday, June 26th, and will be attached to Ted 2 (also from universal, and expected to make big money)
The final trailer, released on September 18th, will attach to The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials, from 20th Century Fox.
