We definitely are, so let's all choose our words carefully.
Next month...
These are fannnn tastic
The posters are spot on. If that does become the final poster - we've got the best one since CR simply for the blend of colours. Like the suit, although still think I prefer him in Brioni. Brilliant, anyway.
First TV spot
Full Trailer
Second TV spot
As you can see the first TV spot uses another take and it's not as cropped as in the other trailers/spots. The grading has been changed a little from a more bright tone to a more green-ish one. I always like when you see some small changes on shots when trailers are releases. It shows that the movie is being worked on
Good point. I think it's obvious that the general tonality and contrast in the latest tv spot shots have improved in comparison with the previous trailers
I noticed also that the black levels seem to have been increased in the newest TV spot and the overall sharpness looks more prominent as well. At least it looks that way on my screen. Most noticeable in the shot of Bond crossing the Austrian lake.
These shots instantly remind me of metal gear solid, where snake gets past the infra red beams of the tank hanger, before his battle with vulcan raven in the snowy canyons.
Another color change I noticed is this one:
Trailer.
New TV Spot.
This shot worries me a little bit, because I like the blue tone to these scenes. It feels too dark in the new Spot. I hope it's not like this in the final film.
EDIT:
@CASINOROYALE It is Craig's face in the car mirror. I understand what you mean why it looks strange. I think it's because the mirror stretches his face more wider and it looks like someone else. If you stretch the screenshot out making it less wide you can see it's Daniel.

This also shows the evolution of VFX throughout the timeframe of post. A bit like the screens in Skyfall where Silva is introduced and Chris Corbold being added as the driver of tube train.
Film Version looks entirely CGI based with him bouncing off the side of the building

Trailer Version he falls forwards head first, looks like a practical stunt effect.

Yes, that's true sadly. Like the famous Hitchcock Patrice fall in the SF trailer (which was changed for the final film) or DC jogging in London (which was omitted in the final cut) or Silva's up tempo delivery of
"So what's yours?" in the trailer (which was changed for a more boring delivery, imho, in the final film).
Yeah, and that's even more likely for TV spots as they tend to be done on a tighter timeframe - they just put whatever the 'latest' version of the footage is.
Usually the way this works for trailers is that the editors are given a watermarked workprint of the film and some of the dailies if needed to edit from and then once the edit is locked the studio inserts all the title cards, replaces the watermarked footage with the latest HQ footage, and then colour-times the footage and mixes the audio for release.
With Bond it's a bit different as it's more closely done in conjunction with Barbara/MGW/Mendes, with Chinagraph always consulting with them, as opposed to several trailerhouses doing variants and then EON picking which one to release. And I've mentioned this here before - the editors and Jeff Pfeifer who does the score work in very close conjunction.
