This just works so much better: I always envisioned that shot of Bond going into the main titles with a gun barrel like it is here. Was it edited like that in the trailer maybe? I feel like that might be where I got the idea from. Alternatively, there's no reason the gun barrel couldn't have opened onto that beautiful tracking shot that opens the film. I like this edit. I always thought that the rooftop chase would have made for a better pre-title sequence since the car chase is such a mess. That said, I've warmed to Quantum a lot over the years and think with a different director and some better editing it would feel like a tighter film even with the script left as is. Some of the more pretentious directorial decisions and the Bourne like editing make it feel so disjointed from Casino Royale. I wish they could have begged Campbell to come back and finish off that little arc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm gonna do a full series re-watch soon (and maybe do a little writeup about it) - I have a feeling QoS is going to rank a lot higher than most would have it, despite its obvious faults.

I was going to do the same prior to No Time To Die but put those plans on hold when it got postponed. I've watched the odd film here and there but have not done a complete marathon since before Skyfall so I'm long overdue. There's a good number of the films that, at this point in my life, only get watched as part of the Bond marathon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur. In the sort of "in between" years if I'm in the mood for a Bond film I can't say Die Another Day or A View To A Kill come off the shelf too much. But that said, no Bond is absolutely unwatchable to me and I'll happily sit through the tedium of Diamonds Are Forever or For Your Eyes Only (two films I find to be an absolute bore) when doing a rewatch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my last marathon before SPECTRE, and I also got it mine on hold when NTTD got delayed. I’m itching to do it though, really only watched a few in the last year or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So come November I’m sure they’ll drop the music video for that song, and it’ll give the marketing for the movie a “second wind,” so to speak.

The weirdest thing about the delay to me is how they ran TV spots for a couple weeks following the announcement with the new date, and then they just dropped off completely. I suppose it was necessary to get the word out so to speak, but it just felt really jarring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Definitely a strange situation. On one hand, EON were totally ahead on delaying the film. Super smart move in hindsight. On the other hand, it was so bizarre coming from full tilt marketing to just absolutely nothing. They've started slowly dropping the odd still from the film on their social media pages again but for a while it was like it had disappeared entirely. I just hope they can recapture some of the hype. People were just buzzing with the title song and Billie Eilish's awards performance. The trailer was well received and even the tabloids had changed their tune about the "disastrous" production. Posters were everywhere. TV spots were on repeat. The Super Bowl one obviously cost s fortune. That just blows from a marketing perspective. Although it has been kind of funny seeing so many Bond related magazine covers hitting shelves but with no film to accompany it. Come on, EON. If you have to delay again just let me purchase it digitally. I'll pay $50 to watch it today. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a minute since we have had that! Bring it on I agree. The scale looks to be similar to that of YOLT/TSWLM, and not in a bad way. SPECTRE was a missed opportunity for an old school battle at the villain's lair, so it looks like we might be getting that this time around. It looks incredible, and so far it looks like the cinematography could rival Skyfall. Craig has earned going out on a high, and both of the trailers seem to indicate that he will indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 It does look a little over the top, but not in a bad way at all. Cinematography is on point judging by the trailer. The first trailer did more to get me excited for it than this one has, but it's not a bad trailer by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 I feel like they've tweaked the marketing as a result of the delay to emphasize the spectacle of the film. Even the newest poster abandoned the more indie-style, teal colour scheme of the earlier posters and just went for a classic tux shot with gold and black as the main colours. Side note - I do hope that's a bit of Zimmer's score we hear in the trailer. Thunderball vibes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Craig's tenure has gotten a bit lost in too much psychological weightiness and retconned (past) nonsense, but Casino Royal is still in my top 6 Bonds. This trailer depicts another action fest, another Tomorrow Never Dies or Quantum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone can't put it in the same league as TND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 I wouldn't fear about the action. They've clearly changed the marketing in light of the delay/COVID to emphasize the spectacle of Bond as a cinema event. The film is 2 hours and 43 minutes, so while I expect this to be the most "classic" of Craig's Bond films in terms of action and Bond spectacle, they also have plenty of time to flesh out a decent story. Malek alone will make this a worthy entry in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
