You don't show the DB5 if you're promoting a DB10.
Also, the memo reads like it should have been written 24 hours after Disney bought Lucas, not a few years later.
We'll agree to disagree. I think somebody at Sony said too much when they tweeted it out. It's not a spoiler anymore.
IMO This is result oriented because you know the DB5 is in SPECTRE (and well, there was that photo). The tweet clearly says that AstonMartin returns because Bond always drive in style, not that the DB5 returns, the photo is an illustration, you don't need much letters to write "DB5" in a tweet.
As with a few other "infos" from the Production Timeline thread, IMO it's more a case of "Hey, that's ok, we now know officially that [some spoiler], so we can discuss it ouside the LEAKS thread !".
Text of the caption:
'
Bond always rides in style. **The** @astonmartin returns this November in #SPECTRE. @007 #JamesBond #astonmartin (emphasis added)
THE Aston Martin. There have been a number of Aston Martin cars over the course of the series. But they tweeted a picture of the DB5.
Read it again. It says "THE" Aston Martin as if there were no other.
I think that without that paparazzi photo, and without the leaks, given the fact that the DB5 is destroyed in SF, we would probably rather be discussing here that Sony Canada did a confusion between the DB10 and DB5, and posted something confusing. Sony France announced that Cruz was cast for SPECTRE, for instance.
Pure marketing. They are totally aware that audiences stomped and cheered, when the crowd pleasing car turned up in SF, and with James Bond Theme music saved especially for the moment. Yay!!!!
All things considered, I realize now there was no chance it wasn't coming back.
However, we are all seeing this tweet after we know the truth , so we can't be 100% sure, what we would have thought without benefit of advance knowledge.
But, I still think the tweet is pointing to the DB5.
That was indeed my first thought, and I do believe the tweet was designed to promote just that impression.
That fact that the DB5 is indeed returning as pictured, does support the case too.
Haha I think we might all be getting a little bored.
Yeah but that's not the MAJOR SPOILER everyone is referring to.
