You carnt have it all i suppose
thanks but i cannot watch any official clips. ive seen a bit too much. I dont want to know whats coming.
What i would like to know is, why have they not listened to fans, when nearly every bond fan wanted it back at the begining. I hope i find an answer one day.
We don't know for definate where it is....I am sure in the next few days we will have a much clearer idea of where it is in the film.
Same here. I feel in some cases it would even DETRACT from the opening.
What next? Lets do away with the TS??? Bloody Hell.
I know. If the gun barrel wasnt going to open, i would have still been happy with it near the begining, like in casino royale. At the end thought is a total joke. Realy takes the icing of the cake.
@Gareth_00789 It's just like the traditional ones. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. It's amazing. Best Bond film in my opinion.

interesting but it not in the beginning.....
I know its not, just checking if it was traditional. I will certainly be asking questions if i can to EON or someone. To me, they havent listened to bond fans.
That's what we were saying 2 movies ago. Then QoS sort of rationalised why it was at the end and now this? Bond 24 will have the gb at the end too and that's IF we're lucky to get it all.
BOND WILL A CAPITAL B... Well not for me. The gun barrel had to open for that, sorry.
Dont fix something if it aint broken, the words from michal wilson. They have just tried to fix something by moving an iconic opening.
And for that reason I think the gunbarrel at the start is vital, a visual trademark. Most importantly, I do think the Bond producers underestimate the buzz of preview screenings. What if we read the first tweet "Gunbarrel back at the start! Yayyyy!!" This would go round on the internet like a walking fire.
I know the Bond producers want to stay into the re-invention mood. But at one time it'll start looking forced and fake. And it'll start looking like some kind of.....shame for 'Cubby's legacy. This all will most likely not be the case for 'Skyfall', but certainly for future Bond films.
I almost wish Jaws will return.....albeit a more maccabre Jaws who's creating real horrific bloody scenes. Not the 'family' Jaws, but a true psychotic Jaws.
That was really disrespectful to the franchise. Sticking the gun barrel at the end of the Craig films - or after a toilet fight in Casino Royale (what a lame setting for a Bond gun barrel scene!) shows you the producers don't care for tradition. Some Bond fans (perhaps not many that post on this site) might argue the casting of Craig was the worst example of them destroying the James Bond tradition!
Perhaps fans can email Sony Pictures and say "please change it." They won't listen but fans make or break films by choosing to attend them or not so your voice does count. If the producers become aware of how strongly fans feel about this they might - by some miracle - change it.
I think, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson work perfectly as a producers team. But one big difference from their (step)father Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman is the way they lead the production. 'Cubby' and Harry were much more stricter, much more 'bossy around bosses'. Barbara and Michael at times seem a bit lacklustre....but also a bit too liberal with their employees. I mean, what's wrong by saying to Thomas Newman "Please create a gunbarrel piece for the start of the movie" or to Danny Kleinman "Please don't experiment too much K? Let's make a well-crafted classic Bond titles sequence. Ooowh, and gunbarrel at the start."
Creative freedom is very important if you ask me......but to what extend when it concerns a clear formula from the biggest film franchise of all time? Barbara and Michael need to understand that if they feel a bit tired of Cubby's Bond formula, then they should quit for a while or produce some other Sundance Festival-like arthouse movies.
THEY MIGHT NOT LISTEN, BUT IN THE END. ITS THE FANS WHAT MAKES THESE FILMS HAPPEN. NO FANS, NO BOND FILM. So them not listening to us all is a disgrace and i will be emailing eon or sony soon.
A gun barrel opening like casino would make me slightly happier. But they cannot even do that. I cannot see how they could have let this happen. Who decided this. Idiots, they have no clue about classic bond then. The film is getting amazing reviews i know. so i might seem a bit to harsh, but it ment so much to me guys.
Cheer me up with something. lol
"Boycott this film until Eon put the gun barrel back at the beginning of the films."
Perhaps a few less words than that. LOL But you will get some great attention from the media. It will take a bit of courage to do but heck, someone could do it!
So that's it I guess. We might never get it at the start again :(
Luckily it looks like the film will make up for it.
OMG. You people should really take a step back and consider what you are posting.
Boycot the film? Seriously? This is a throwback to those "Craig is not Bond" days. And then they delivered Casino Royale. Well, lets hope that history repeats itself.
Make your voice heard and avoid the cinema release and illegally download it in a few months time! Yes, the voice of the internet generation has spoken.
NO GUN BARREL AT THE BEGINNING - NO SEE FILM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D
I odnt think thats the same thing. The gun barrel at the end is not something that can turn out great. Totaly different to when daniel is not bond days.
But now, it might be at the end for good. I suppose I'll just have to get used to it, but I really don't see the point changing it. The gunbarrel made a great opening, why move it?
