Ooh; that looks pretty cool.
At around 1min 05 there's a brief glimpse of Cary Fukunaga's stunt double ;)
Some photos of the biggest Bond replica props I've been in contact with - two CMA CGM containers at my workplace, which, naturally, had me grinning wide upon seeing them:
Maybe Zukovsky is waiting inside to meet Bond?

163 minutes 51 seconds (Theatrical and Blu-Ray, 24 frames per second)

Do we think it is Bond or Logan Ash that steal the plane in this sequence…as we see bond swimming from a sinking ship in the trailers??
I'm upload it in YT right now
What happened there?

Filming took place at the CMA CGM-operated Kingston South Quay Terminal in Jamaica, a strategic transhipment hub for the Group in the Caribbean, located at the exit of the Panama Canal and the crossroads of the North/South and East/West lines.
Flying the French flag and under the leadership of French Masters, the vessels CMA CGM FORT SAINT GEORGES (2,260 TEUs1) and CMA CGM FORT DE FRANCE (3,504 TEUs) and more than 1,000 containers were mobilised for the shoot. In addition, a dozen crew, including the Master, took part in the filming.
Don’t think I’ll ever be watching the Thunderball finale on DVD, with the Disco Volante ping ponging around the place
Go France go!!
I suspect they mean the climax of the movie itself :)
Well France haven't a great internet speed on everywhere in it's territory (still in 2021!), and I'm in a bad part of it. But 40 min later it's finaly online :
Great. Thanks for the help
The film isn't sped up on DVD in America, Japan and a few other territories. It is a matter of NTSC vs PAL countries, or more exactly the AC electricity being 115 V/60 Hz or 230 V/50 Hz.
When they developed the standards for broadcast television in the 40s or 50s, they used as a base for sync the frequency of the electricity to interlace frames. So, it was 50 half-frames (odd then even lines) per second in territories that used 50 Hz, and 59,97 (not 60, to prevent artefacts) for 60 Hz.
As movies are 24 frames per second, they had to find some workarounds to show them on TV. In 60 Hz countries such as the US, they used some complex process called "3:2 pulldown" to duplicate a few half-frames, the movies or TV programs shot on film then end up being shown at 23.976 frames per second, and each hour of film is thus four seconds longer when screened on TV. In the rest of the world, they simply sped up the screening slightly, to make it 25 fps (also note that a few European shows were shot on film at 25 fps directly), which makes an hour of film last basically 58 minutes on TV. It also makes the sound pitch higher by half a tone, something that's often corrected on the soundtrack.
The DVDs maintained the two norms (50 and 60 Hz) apart, especially as they were still played on analog TV sets that couldn't play properly multiple frequencies. But digital made stuff such as the current frequency less relevant, and flatscreens more and more added a few additional standards in addition to the local native frequency. With Blu-ray, most programs are encoded at 24 (or 23.976) Hz (progressive) without any additional manipulation. If you have an old TV that doesn't accept this speed, the player can still apply the 3:2 pulldown stuff on the frames.
It's likely that there won't be a unified standard for broadcast television and regions will keep using 50 Hz and 60 Hz, as it would be very expensive and time-consuming to do so, and compatibility issues would plague old equipments. But streaming services, for instance, can usually stream their content at 23.976 fps worldwide.
So the official runtime is 164 minutes.
Loved the Jamaican set at the port. Gregg seems in charge for every big action set piece that involves planes. :D
So, as regards Broadcast TV, it’s still the case that in some regions the movie plays slower than the actual film, and in other regions it plays a little faster
What an incredible set.
It means that the sound on a PAL DVD is also 4% higher in pitch that on a blu-ray.
Even though we haven't seen any footage of the dock scene, it's already become one of the things I'm most looking forward to in NTTD.
I can't believe we've got just under 2 weeks ago! it's been fantastic seeking out pics, playing detective with what little info we had at the start, and seeing our predictions materialise with you guys for the last 2 years. Never for another movie or franchise have I had the blessing to be involved in such a great community, and I hope the buildup to Bond 26 in teh coming years will also bring around such an atmosphere again!
Maybe on Graham Norton show next friday. The only new clip I have is the Matera chase from the documentary
FYI: Not a single cast member booked/listed - so far - next week on US talkshows

These have really helped to flesh out the personalities of the cast in particular and hearing how each of them connect with the locations and the casting process has been a brilliant insight.
It certainly sounds like there has been so much consideration for every detail and it’s great to hear that the same teams come back every i time because it’s Bond. Hans Zimmer’s account is extraordinary and I look forward to the soundtrack almost as much as the film.
Can’t wait to see the promotional material across London this weekend.
