I won't even be able to catch that! Maybe a potion of it if I have time.
At least we have a few clips to appetize. It's times like this I wish I was English :P
I can only assume that the US gets a much later release date for Bond films in retribution for a little revolution we started a few centuries ago!
Watermarked photos are fine, and anyway, I have access to the editorial versions proper, so if anything happens I should be able to post them just fine.
If anyone needs a non-watermarked photo for a poster or something, just DM me.
The thing is, Mendes was quoted as saying the audience shouldn't know more than Bond.
Which in my opinion is absolutely absurd when you look at From Russia With Love. In fact that's the most effective way to develop a character-building moment for Bond, show him learn something the audience already new. A slight twist.
It's storytelling, whichever way you need to tell your story should be fine. Of course there are proper ways to go about doing it, some without the main character, some through the main character.
The videos in the link are entirely English, with Dutch subtitles :-). Especially Christoph Waltz is so cute when he talks to a children's audience:

@Gustav_Graves, thank you for all of your hard work compiling the reviews and all of the other info you find for everyone on this site. You are finding all kinds of great stuff to post. I enjoyed these kids in their tux suits. They do a better job than some experienced press types, and they are infinitely cuter. I also think his response to THE question about doing Bond 25 was the truth.
Here is a lovely time capsule from the previous 3 royal premieres. Especially hear the comments from Jesper Christensen back in 2008 ;-). But, most importantly, down below the LIVE-webstream link to tomorrow's Royal World Premiere of "SPECTRE"!:
"CASINO ROYALE" (Royal World Premiere at Odeon Leicester Square, attended by HM The Queen Elizabeth II):
"QUANTUM OF SOLACE" (Royal World Premiere at Odeon, Leicester Square, attended by the Prince William & Prince Harry):
"SKYFALL" (Royal World Premiere at Royal Albert Hall, attended by the Prince of Wales & the Duchess of Cornwall):
Andddd, in less than 24 hours from now...
"SPECTRE"!! (Royal World Premiere at Royal Albert Hall, attended by the The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, LIVE at 5:00 pm GMT via this webstream):
I believe this was the original Skyfall premiere livestream, all 2.5 hours of it!
DC interview is at 1hr 30, its pretty funny.
"Daniel, who do you play in the film?"
Thanks, I was thinking of posting that one too, but it's so longgg :-P. I watched every inch of it back in 2012 though :-P. Don't you think Jany Temime looks like Shirley Bassey's sister :-P?
At 1hour 25min there's this actress I don't know....with his boyfriend. Or he is actually the actor. Man, it seems he's so horny by the looks of his girl....he immediately wants to shag her LOL :-P.
I'm now going to rewatch it hehe. Back in 2012 I lovedddd to spot all the ex-Bond-celebrities.
First showings are tomorrow evening, simultaneous with world premiere.
the film could not start until 20:00
Nice. I still have about 12 more days to go here in the USA
FRWL is different, it's built around trapping Bond and the whole gambit relies on him, so you need to know that SPECTRE are making that gambit because it'd be limp in retrospect.
What Mendes is talking about is Thunderball or Tomorrow Never Dies where the entirety of the villain's gambit, and where they've hidden something or how they've done something is completely unveiled to us as the audience and then we have to watch Bond put together the pieces we're already in possession of, and then there's no mystery as to how he'll react. So in FRWL it's about how does he break the trap and that's the exciting element - with those other two examples it just plods right along until Bond catches up - by then we're in the throes of the third act and who the hell cares.
.. it will be through a medium ! :D
Still, it's a perfectly legitimate story telling technique for the audience to know more than the lead character. A non-Bond example is Marathon Man. The audience doesn't know everything but it knows more than Dustin Hoffman's character does.
The guy on the radio just said that it's a fantastic film but that he wasn't sure if the story line was quite as clear as Skyfall. He said that every thing else was great though.
It's been a long time......and finally......HERE WE ARE!
