Holy Crap!
Can't remember how long before the release of the film(that the trailer was attached to) that the CR trailer appeared online. Was it a couple of days before ?
If expectations are lowered and 2 july for both the trailer on the net and in theatres, then can avoid too much rush of blood to the head.

Holy crap!
The CR teaser trailer was first attached to The Da Vinci Code, it appeared on-line just over a fortnight before its release. First in French, then a day or so later in English.

That's correct no one gives a damn about Will Smith and Hancock, the trailer will be here today depending on where you live. By July, as previously said, no one will care about the new 007 trailer because everyone will be on holiday.

What makes you say today?
Is this on a whimp?

[stamper]

Common sense, in a week, everyone will be prepping holidays... this trailer should have been there in may. If they don't get it out by the next 48 H, then the movie will be in deep trouble because there will be no buildup, no buzz, it will be buried just like LTK was buried in the summer glut in 1889 (sic). In fact, except for us fans, it's already too late. They missed one semester of buzz, with only tabloid rehad headlines about young idiot superstars, Jinx curses and cut fingers to make up for any kind of buzz. Do admit it's a bit lacking, us fans aren't enough to make QOS a smash hit, they need more general audiences... which already don't know the new one is coming and aren't expecting it.

[Pierce - Daniel]

sorry what you're just said makes no sence what so ever.
Sorry.
The trailer will come with Hancock, for sure. People who keep slaming Hancock on this board are foold, its a Wil Smith film, people will see it, isn't he nicknamed Mr. July or something. Isn't he the biggest grossing move star now? Has he overtakern Cruise or Hanks yet? I heard he had?
Putting an action move trailer like QOS in front of an action movie like Hancock makes perfect marketing sence. inviting the press out to every major loaction you travel to is a little unusal, but EON did it. We're all starting to sound spoilt.
I'd say a trailer will likely come his week, I'd be surprised if it did not.

[Quantumofsolace007]

I'm sorry but are we talking about the same film. The Quantum of solace I know about has gotten tons of coverage on various Entertainment shows (entertainment tonight, Access Hollywood, the today show) during may and early June. Plus tons of photos (not to metion the book and video game tie in which) have been released so i don't think Obscurity is a problem. I'm pretty sure if u go up to 5 people in the street and ask them about a new bond film 4 out of the 5 will probably say "one is coming out this fall i think" they may even be able to say "It's called Quantum of solace." The 5th will say nothing.


Look I want the trailer as bad as anyone else but I don't think obscurity is a problem.

I could be wrong.

A few things sir...

There is NO such thing as a "general audience". The mainstream populice who frequent a new Bond film in their traditional droves do not give a toss about when the teaser trailer came out. Bond almost doesn't need promotion. It has been a cinematic fixture for nearly 50 years.

"In fact, except for us fans, it's already too late".... This is a wind-up, yes? Or someone really needs to get out more and watch James Bond films less.

[stamper]

I think it is, I'm having too many LTK flashbacks these days, what latin country, drug smuggling or whatever else, sun, opened shirts, and bad advertisement. I'm all excited as much as anyone here about CR and what they achieved, but I think so far they are doing everything wrong, you can't make ads for the new 007 movie the way they did for Indiana Jones by showing only little, very late. There was no Indy for like 19 years, Bond is a different animal. I'm saying the advertising dept got it wrong, they missed their window, let's wait for the trailer, which I hope will spell excitement but that sadly no one will notice apart all of us fans (which amount to nothing).
They could have shown it on the PS3 store in advance, or whatever...

Since you give your location as France, I'm going to err on the side of charity and put your post down to a little too much red wine this lunchtime. As Michael Winner might say, "Relax, dear, it's only a trailer".

[stamper]

Yeah, but it's the 007 trailer we have been waiting for TOO LONG ! (AND I DON'T DRINK WINE SINCE SEEING THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH)

Again, I will ask - is this a wind-up? With all respect Stamper, it is not up to anyone apart from Eon Productions and Sony Pictures when, where and how they release their product to the audiences.

And as Eon have no doubt known for nearly half a century, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

What next...fans crying onto YouTube about Bond films teaser trailers a la a certain Brittany fan...

Yeah, but it's the 007 trailer we have been waiting for TOO LONG ! (AND I DON'T DRINK WINE SINCE SEEING THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH)

Whereas the rest who care a little less about a teaser trailer actually took up drinking wine after seeing THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH.

[dee-bee-five]

Have we been waiting for it too long? I'm not sure I have. Trailers are fun, but they rarely given one a proper idea of what the film they're trailing is going to be like. Doubtless I will watch the trailer when it's available, but I certainly won't fall over myself to try to be amongst the first to see it.

And I'm not sure the general audience, whoever they might be, gives a toss one way or another. I think one would be hard-pressed to find anyone in a cinema anywhere in the world tonight who says, "That's it, they haven't released the Quantum of Solace trailer this week so, sod 'em, I'm not going to see their film." That would be rather silly.

(Oh and, like Zorin, I am aware that you're winding us up. At least, I hope you are.)

[_Ozu_]

stamper, QOS is making his way to the headlines almost once a week even if it's not thanks to the marketing dept. I think almost everybody knows there's a Bond film approaching the silver screen (the release of Devil May Care may have helped too).

I also think that the trailer will hit the screens right on time. Showing it too early won't be as useful in my opinion as doing a concentrated campaign from July until October. That's five months where I think we'll get two trailers and many news, and with internet it won't be the same as with LTK.

Just relax and wait a few days.

[Johnboy007]

Jeez, after July 2 there will only be like four whole months to run teasers and TV spots 24/7.

Those marketing folks better be miracle workers!

[Ace Roberts]

I must admit - it has been entertaining to sit back and read all these "expert" opinions on when the trailer will be released, complete with little faces winking at you to allude to their supposed insight. Going through the 25 pages of this thread there have been some who have declared "weekly" their inside knowledge and declaration that "today is the day" - only to be disappointed. I don't think for a second that waiting a couple more weeks - or days - or hours for that matter will have anything to do with the finished product. My guess is the trailer will be amazing - and that all of our expectations will be raised by the tidbits Forster shares. I remember many of the same people here convinced that Casino Royale was doomed - only to reverse that opinion the moment they saw Craig jumping from the crane hundreds of feet in the air. I think the moment we see Craig race through the streets of Siena, bound over the ocean in a boat with explosions going off, and (possibly) free-fall from an airplane we'll be right back where we were a couple of years ago - ready for James Bond.

When you put it like that, time is really running out...

[Harmsway]

QUANTUM OF SOLACE has a built-in audience. As long as they have the TV commercials cranked up around its time of release, it'll rake in the cash.

D'you know, you've probably written the most accurate definition of an internet fansite in those few lines!

[Zorin Industries]

Well I've just seen the new trailer online and it's great. I do have some qualms though.... Daniel Craig in a clown suit has been done before, Pamela Salem as the henchmen Elvis is somewhat of a narrative surprise and Micheal Wilson's cameo as MONEYPENNY complete with tache and an Ascot two-piece is clearly going to divide the fans.

Agreed. There's no need to rush a trailer to the screens. I don't think that, at this point in the summer, it really matters if we get a trailer. There's so many potentially great films coming out in the next couple of months that I'm not really focused on Quantum of Solace.

What, the talking MI6 Dalmation or the singing KGB Daschund? Either way, they distracted from M bumping into that pillar a la Priscilla 'NAKED GUN' Presley.

That is such a sensible attitude. Getting into such a heightened state of anticipation and excitement about Quantum of Solace at this early stage must surely lead to disappointment when the thing is actually released. If one is so starved of Bond between now and November - because, let's face it, there's so little material out there - what's wrong with revisiting one of the movies one hasn't seen recently or re-reading some Fleming?

She looks alright. If James Bond has to have a sister then why shouldn't she be played by Jordan? And I think the fans will like the fact that BOND skis off her norks only to pull open that Union Jack parachute at the last minute before "the Quantum Of The Solace" title tune kicks in and Eon promise "This Fall, watch James Bond put the Double-O in Hallooween".

I was super excited with Casino Royale when the Script review came out and that was what april may? and I rank it as one of my favourite bond films.


So I don't see how getting excited about Quantum of Solace (caught the excited bug January 24th)


I mean I go in phases as reflected in my reading. After KOTCS i wanted to read Indianna jones and the genesis deluge I know after seeing the trailer I'm going to wanna read a James bond novel (I'm thinking Icebreaker as I've never read it before and everyone claims it's Gardner's masterpeice)


But enough about my endless blaberings. (filled with typos spelling error and possibly a coded message ) Look I'm activly excited about Quantum of solace I can guestimate what secnes and bits everyone here will like. I think I'll love the whole film. I hope i love it as much as Casino Royale. However i have my worries (i had them with CR) so time will tell.

However i don't feel I'm ruining Quantum of Solace or setting myself up for disapointment because i got excited when they announced the title.

I was very much anticipating Casino Royale, and followed the news about it daily and really followed it quite closely, and the time between the beginning of filming to the release of the film seemed like a very long time. With Quantum of Solace, I haven't paid much attention at all to the production of the film, and I've found the time seems to have passed much quicker from the time that filming began to this point in the production, and I would imagine that continuing to give it little attention on my part would make the rest of the time period before its release seem shorter as well.

Also, there's just so many potentially great movies between now and Quantum of Solace that I find myself more interested in those at the moment. Right now, my focus is on the likes of The Dark Knight, Get Smart, The X-Files 2, Wanted, as well as Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino's Righteous Kill that arrives very shortly after the end of the summer movie season, and I'm sure that there are a few more that I've failed to list here, but once those films are released, then I'll probably turn my focus a bit more to Quantum of Solace.

[Zorin Industries]

Exactly.

I for one have paid very little attention to the production of QUANTUM OF SOLACE. I was even at Pinewood recently and didn't feel THAT inspired to stow away in a 007 stage catering truck.

Sophomore Bond films work best with less fanfare.

[Mister E]

Right now, my focus is on the likes of The Dark Knight, Get Smart, The X-Files 2, Wanted, as well as Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino's Righteous Kill that arrives very shortly after the end of the summer movie season,

You are excited about Wanted ? That movie looks atrocious.


Anyway, I am very excited about QOS. This looking even better then Casino Royale.

I'm looking forward to it significantly less than the others mentioned above, but I wouldn't mind seeing it simply because it looks like a good, simple action film in the style of the Matrix films and it looks as though it would have to be a better film than the two sequels that we got for the Matrix.
