As a Bond fan I signed up for the premiere in Paris where we were supposed to watch the film with beforehand the introduction of the team.
We learned a couple of days ago that we will watch the film on a secondary screen and that the team will not be present for us.
It is a cruel disappointment and it is the second time in a row after Skyfall.
It is a pity that Sony and the Bond team do not consider the fans that we are as we all make Bond live between films.
We just ask for 10 minutes of their time. Is it too much ?

Are you talking about the Grand Rex premiere on 29 October? I was trying to get some tickets...

What do you mean by "secondary screen"? Is it not shown on the main room with its huge screen?

VIPs will have the main room and the team. The fans won't.

Same here.

Can't say I'm surprised, though. All the talk you hear about any studio, artist, band, sports team, etc, doing what they do for the fans is just talk. The bottom line is the only thing that matters, since they know the fans will be there no matter what, unless they really mess things up.

Given some of the very personal things "the fans" write about them on message boards like this, I wouldn't want, or need, to go near "the fans" either.

The premiere was this evening and we were very pleased to have the team visit the fans.

The president of the French fan club did a hell of a job to get them and we had Craig, Seydoux, Belluci, Waltz and Broccoli.

That was fantastic ! Thank you to all of them !

They did a great job for the promotion : lots of autographs and selfies.

Congrats to the team !
