Indeed, this is the OHMSS theme. FYI from what I heard a few weeks back Newman himself recorded this just for the trailer - they threw a scoring session specifically for it.

What kind of holiday does Bond say he took in Mexico City?

[Double-Oh Agent]

Love Craig's demeanor in this. Sitting back in the chair talking to Moneypenny ala Connery and Brosnan, wearing the white tuxedo, etc. 

 

The car chase looks like it'll become an iconic scene. 

Yeah, I really loved the the first shot of the cars racing. It does look exciting. I also like the shot of the helicopter in flight. Craig looks good. So does Bautista and Seydoux. I can't wait for the fall. The release date can't come soon enough.

I think I heard more than one cue from OHMSS in that trailer! Deliberate? I'll be surprised if it isn't.

Beginning to think that OHMSS is as much an influence on Spectre as the Octopussy short story.

Wonderful to see Q equip Bond with an Aston and a few modifications - this is real Bond territory now.

and Bond will destroy the Aston by end of film

"I was taking some overdue holiday".

Looks at one of the names on the MI6 Memorial wall, "Emma Pill."

Q looks very dapper in the trailer too. I like his suit.

Had a quick flick through the names on pause - didn't see any obvious crew names, past or present.

I'm at risk of ruining everyone's fun, but Emma Pill is one of the UK location managers for SPECTRE. The names are all crew members; the ones I've looked up so far anyway.

fantastic. Not so sure about the Blofeld suit near the end of the trailer though... I worry you can't seriously do that anymore after Austin Powers.

Just making sure, I've got less than ideal headphones in, thanks Vaux!

Very, very good trailer. I love how instead of going action overload at the end it's interwoven throughout the whole thing. The music is fantastic, a proper orchestral score. We're in safe hands folks.

Yes, but the thing is, no one actually remembers Austin Powers by now. Even the ones who saw it. It´s Bond who is going to prevail.

First impression is that it's okay, but I wasn't blown away by it.

They should develop a new tagline just for the Bond films: "Once again, it's personal.". Seriously, EON, its time to move on to the next plot device.

Also starting to think that they haven't been lying about Waltz and Blofeld.

Still a fun name to have.

[sharpshooter]

It may be because it's new footage, but I was blown away by the trailer. One of my favourites from the Craig era. Some really evocative, moody shots in there. Particularly from the SPECTRE meeting, and with Bond walking up the steps.

There's also an expanded synopsis under the video on YouTube.
 

Spoiler

A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE.

Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.

As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.

Released in the UK on October 26, and in the US on November 6, 2015.

So the Blofeld is dead? Waltz would be his successor?

I believe this outline refers to another character.

Wait a sec....is that the THUNDERBALL theme that plays over the mgm logo too!?

ok thanks. That's good. I've been staying spoiler free for this film, 1st time. Weird feeling.

Don't think so... it's part of the Bond theme... similar in orchestration to the Thunderball usage, but likely not intentional, as there were similar moments in Skyfall and other films as well.

When Bond said the line:

 

"one more thing... make me disappear"

 

for a brief moment I got a slight chill thinking:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[DaveBond21]

Wow, looks great. Very dark.

 

My only issues are the same ones I had with the teaser trailer earlier in the year - Bond going rogue and this time it's really really personal.

 

The last line seems to suggest it's the MOST personal Bond yet - yawn. Waltz does look like Blofeld doesn't he? With some Thunderball / YOLT style minions in the background.

 

However, how good does Craig look, the Bond girls, the car chase, snow, Q, M, Moneypenny, the OHMSS theme in there, a helicopter, a plane!, the white tux! - watch them come back into style in a big way, Hinx.

[Major Tallon]

I thought it did a good job of introducing the film's basic premise and the characters.  It showed a variety of exciting bits of action, and I enjoyed the background music a lot.  My reaction is strongly positive.

[Jim]

This time it's personaler.
