I'd like a decent gunbarrel at the start and not one where Bond is trying to out-run Usain Bolt.
I'd love to see Bond in his apartment. We're getting enough of London in Skyfall so why waste the opportunity not to show him at home. Besides, we've seen M's pad in the last two movies. Mendes has previosuly mentioned his fondness of LALD (could that include the scene of Bond at home? Perhaps).
I'd like to see Bond training at the gym (either in his pad or in MI6 with other 00's in the background). After all, the real MI6 is complete with a gym. These agents need to stay fit.
I love YNMN but AWTD was just about on a par with Madge's disaster tune in DAD. That's 2 out of three huge flops for me. Time for a decent Bond tune. Hell, I certainly wouldn't object to Shirley returning. She can still belt 'em out! Also, lets have the Bond tune featuring in the thick of the action and they should inlcude the 007 theme somewhere relevent too out of respect for John Barry and the 50th anniversary.
No fast edting like QOS and Bourne. The QOS PTS was shot around a stunning lake and we never got to trully appreciate this beautiful bendy road beause everything happened so quickly. The average shot of the quary was less than a second. I like to savour the cinematography when it takes place in such interesting surroundings.
DC's Bond finally ending up with his girl. This is obviously on the cards from what DC has said in an interview. To be honest, I prefer the idea of him stealing Severine from Bardem and ending up with her but that may not happen.
That would be horrible. We don't need unnecesary reminders of unimportant charcters from the 90's. Its pointless. The producers have started afresh and gone down a new type of route with DC as James Bond. Time to leave PB's era alone.
Not only that, but the Craig era doesn't happen before the others, it's just Bond at the beginning of his career (be kinda difficult to make 2006 happen before 1962).
I understand that they want to aim for a hit and will undoubtedly go for a current artist for the main titles, but they could give Dame Bassey a closing credits song.
I'd walk out of the movie.
I'd be right on your heels.
Joining me or trying to kill me?
Here's what I want to see for the PTS: After bond returns to MI6 from a car chase involving a jaguar and a landrover, Terrorists attack the building. They dive from helicopters and use wingsuits to land on the roof, attacking through the vents and taking out agents. They fight their way through the corridors and plant explosives as they go. Bond tries to fight them but is blasted to the floor by a grenade. M is hiding in her office. The lead terrorist (bardem), yanks of his mask. He kicks down Ms office door and says "looks like your past caught up with you, just like this bullet" BAM! bardem shotguns dench to the face, ending her reign as M. He grabs documents from Ms safe and signals to move out. The terrorists head onto the roof. Bond wakes up and sneaks after them. They all jump into helicopters. Bond gets up in time to see bardems taking of. He fires but misses. Bardem waves at bond and pulls out a mobile. Bond looks down and see's a bomb, realising there must be more all over the building, he leaps down onto a ledge, then into the thames as there is a huge explosion behind him... begin title song....
Depends. Just keep an eye out on what you say ;)
Daniel Craig infiltrating a base (like GoldenEye 007 Reloaded).
007 theme played during the film, not after or before
An awesome title sequence
Intense fight scenes
Foot chase through London
Aston Martin DB5 chase
Stylish scenes
A glimse at Bond's flat (maybe Craig entering his flat like Sean Connery did in Dr. No, but not too much of a copy)
2+ Hours minimum of pure Bond
Nothing to do with previous films
Craig to wear something that is modern but also a nod to the Connery era.
Hilarious, brutal remarks
Nothing too cliche' as main storyline, perhaps a creepy storyline
Stunts done with no CGI at all
A decent Bond girl we care about, like Vesper
All in all, stylish, packed with drama, stunts and intense action. Come on MGM, give us something we haven't seen before!
Brilliant - that really made me laugh. Excellent.
Yep, yep, yep. Think you hit it all on the head.
Foot chase through London.. check.
I agree on the rest!
Besides all that I'd like to see the classic Bond introduction, where he isn't fully revealed untill he says THE line..
"Just seen a very rough cut of the Skyfall Teaser trailer. I can’t remember everything from it, but it’s due to be released late February, that’s what the guy said anyway. About 20 or so were in the screening. They were all University Students, or I assume so anyway. I myself am a media student, and I assumed everyone else was. But anyway. The trailer roughly ran for about 1minute and 45 seconds. From what I saw, Skyfall looks really really really good. A lot better than Quantum of Solace was. I think it’s more on par with Casino Royale. Well that’s the vibe I got from it anyway, which is good in my book. Roger Deakins’ camera work is just phenomenal, there was so many beautiful shots. Too many to count really. Some very nice swooping shots of what I think was Smithfield market and London in general.
The best thing about the trailer was Bonds big reveal around half way through. When it started, you don’t even realise it’s a Bond movie. If I wasn’t in a screening for it, I really wouldn’t of known. The music was really mysterious, too. From the first 30 seconds it looked like a political thriller / present day war movie.
The first shot of the trailer, besides the opening logo’s is a really dark shot of a tall office building. I think it was China but I’m not too sure. There was a voice over from Ralph Fiennes (Love that guys voice) talking about the cold war, and it’s repercussions within MI6. This was followed by what I think was a gas attack, people were running and screaming and collapsing. Then the whole friggen set just blew up! Judi Dench appeared. She looked really old and it is revealed that she and Fiennes character are talking. Fiennes says that he’s lost too many agents in the attack (Which I assumed was before), and he needs someone to overlook the case, and find it’s source. M mentions that she has an agent in mind, or something to that degree, but he’s resigned, and they’re unable to track him down. Fiennes says that he has to be found and brought back to duty. The whole conversation with Fiennes and Dench was really heated, and it sounded as if he was blaming her, which brings me to the next part where he mentions that he’s seriously doubting whether she’s fit for duty anymore. That she’s losing her touch. There’s a few dramatic shots afterwards, of a Bond walking through a very colourful building. It looked like a nightclub, very cool. He was wearing a black jacket and gloves. Like the end of Quantum of Solace. We don’t actually see Bond until he gets in a fist fight with what looked like a Sniper. Daniel Craig looks awesome! Very cold eyes, brutal. There was one shot where everyone gasped, because it felt so real and brutal. Bond is overpowered and captured, and the next shot has Bond walking into what I assumed was his apartment. M’s standing there, and she apologises for the force she used to bring him to her. Bond says that he’s pretty much finished with the service. He’s seen loads of disturbing things and he doesn’t want to relive them. He then talks about the attacks, and M says something about her life being in danger, and Bond is the only person she trusts. She then goes on to tell him that the government is starting to collapse, and its being invaded by enemy agents. We see a few shots of Helen McRorys character, walking down a crowded street. Bond mentions that out of respect for her, and for queen and country he’ll return to duty.
Now this is where it gets good. Massive Bond theme. A new variation, and not the one that was used in the GoldenEye and BloodStone trailers etc. Sounded really exciting. It followed the same lines as the Casino Royale theatrical trailer melody wise, but it was obviously a different mix.
Couldn’t really get all of the shots because they were so fast (although brilliantly shot) but the ones I remember are Bond overpowering a guy driving a jeep, and nearly crashing the car. Tanner and Bond running down a London street with guns, in the rain. Protecting M. A train being derailed, and the carriage slowly missing Bond. Javier Bardem running through a busy street, Bond jumping over a wall. Lovely shot of Bond getting off a plane, reminded me a lot of Casino Royale. Car chase, a shot of Bond getting thrown against a dirty bathroom mirror, Bond head butting someone. Naomi Harris’shooting in the back of a jeep, in what looked like a desert, A car exploding. Bond on a motorbike, firing a machine gun. Bond jumping off a roof, and landing screaming on the floor. We have a break from the music here, and have Bond and Harris on a rooftop, Bond tells her that he’s totally lost faith, he didn’t say what in, just that he has no faith. This is followed by shots of a horse and carriage and loads of coffins. It goes back to Harris who tells Bond that he needs to continue to fight, for the good of the country. Bond mentions that he always is fighting, even though he has nothing worth living for. The music builds and we enter the climax of the trailer. Loads of shots, but I cant remember them all. Seem to remember Bond on a Jet Ski, Berinice Merhole walking down villa steps, Bond removing glasses, performing a 360 turn in the DB5. M getting thrown around in the DB5, Bond pressing a button in his car and… this leads into the big money shot, blowing up an obstacle and driving through it.. BUT the car kinda goes out of control, and it starts to overturn in mid air. Then the title and release date came up. Had a CGI shot of Bond walking in the rain, in slow motion, in an open necked tuxedo holding a silenced gun."

Aside for Bond on a jet ski and the DB5 gadget that blows up an obstacle it sounds good but often this is the case until one sees the completed film in the cinema and it turns out to be rubbish.
Personally, I'm open to watching trailers and looking at photos but I don't like to ruin a film for myself by knowing everything that happens in it.
There's already a whole thread on this topic.
Oh I see, the Skyfall news and spoilers part is a different section to Skyfall itself. I would delete my above post if I could.
In MI6's latest story on filming, they said that, well it was in a spoiler tag, so
Take it as you want. But yes, a PTS with no connection would be a nice comeback.
