Me Too, its funny how that works sometimes.
I went to amsterdam 2 years ago and I decided to go to the Heineken brewery/museeum (because of Bond) and I have gotten a big appreciation for the Brand. They are still owned by same family, in the 3-4th Generation, over a century in the business. No wonder EoN got along with them so well lol.
Also they played Craigs commercials on repeat, which helped a lot.
I love his Heineken commercials, can't wait to see this one.
Not the SuperBowl, but the World Cup. Heineken puts a lot of money into football, and they'll want a major advertising campaign for this summer.
According to IMDB he has nothing on, last movie is in post production and other project has been abandoned. Could be quite clever should it be a reoccurring character should Nolan then take over, with Murphy's past links to both Directors.
Whoopi was a Bond girl of sorts back in the day.
oh yeah I forgot about that. I think Tim and Babs were an item for a while as well.
Cillian Murphy makes a great villain. Would be happy to see him in Bond
Given Bond has been off the radar for so long, and because the market has changed so drastically in the intervening period, it perhaps makes sense to remind people of the character and get them ready for what is coming next year. The World Cup is a global sport and Bond is a global brand, so it's as good a chance as any to get visibility.
There's plenty of time to make strawberry jam.
If this is what they want going forward, it will inform us as to the next Bond actor too. He will have to play well internationally.
“Barbara Broccoli wants a one billion dollar international gross”
Depressing comment. Maybe just think about making a good film first and foremost and let the grosses take care of themselves?
First Sunday in February.
Could be both, but I agree about the World Cup being for a global audience. The spot could air first during the World Cup and still air early next year during the Super Bowl for American marketing.

Oscar winner Danny Boyle has admitted he had doubts about accepting an offer to direct the new James Bond film. During a masterclass at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) he told students, “it’s not normally my cup of tea”.
Producers only officially confirmed his appointment last week, with the film due to go into production later this year. Danny says, at first, he wasn’t sure he was the right person for the job. “I like watching big films but I don’t think I’m necessarily good at making them. Then I thought ‘no, you shouldn’t think like that’.”
Working with long-time collaborator, writer John Hodge, Danny explained why he accepted. “We have this idea about what we want to do with Bond and I felt we should have a go because of this idea. So we are trying to stay true to our principles.”

He also explained how his decision to take on the Bond movie was part of his desire to tackle the unknown, something that goes back to the start of his career. “We’d had success with Shallow Grave and I felt we had a choice. They – the business – wanted us to do something very similar but with a bigger star because we’d proved we were good at that, or we could do something different.
“We decided to do Trainspotting, which everyone thought was insane. I think they only gave us the money for it because they hoped we would learn our lesson and have a big failure and go back to making films like Shallow Grave. “
That experience shaped his career. “The unknown is exciting. The fear is very important. If you repeat yourself you don’t ask yourself enough questions, you don’t feel the fear about what you’re doing because you feel you know what you’re doing.”
Danny, who was in Liverpool to film scenes for a new Richard Curtis movie, described his style of directing as being based on encouragement. “It’s a bit like being a parish priest; it’s about trying to keep the community you’re working with happy.
“I believe the more harmony you can create the better your film will be. I try to learn the personality of the people I work with rather than just accept them as tools that will make the mechanism work.”
During the 75-minute Q&A Danny also discussed the importance of allowing your peers to judge your work, “It can be brutal, but it’s a vital part of the creative process”, and what he looked for in an actor, “truthfulness, are they believable? When you believe, you start to live it with them, you start to feel it. It takes it to an incredibly powerful place.”
