With the new trailer being released today at 2pm, I thought we should have a thread for those who wish to discuss the trailer without being spoiled on details not included in the trailer.

Spoiler thread can be found here:- http://debrief.comma...ler-discussion/

[Glockenspiel]

Actually the trailer itself contains a big spoiler... as you can see in the preview.

Is that a dummy he's fighting with at 0.05?

[Messervy]

I'll see The Dark Knight Rises this evening. Maybe I'll get to see a new trailer?
In any case, this is the thread I'll visit; thanks for making it spoiler-free.

[thecasinoroyale]

No ren, that's a real bad-guy, with possibly another chap looking on; you can just see him to the left of the screen...could it be Silva maybe interrogating Bond before he tries to escape?

[Vauxhall]

Discussion of who it might be is probably better suited to the spoiler thread!

[Messervy]

Am I losing my head, or was there a thread dedicated to the newly released trailer just minutes ago?...
Anyway, I decided I couldn't wait until I got back home tonight to watch it on my computer (my office one is blocked), so I watched it on my phone.
In one word: "Wow!". Haven't seen anything quite like that for a Bond. Intriguing, compelling, appealing, breathtaking... Wow!

[Yellow Pinky]

Yes, I had that thread open on my screen and refreshed to see new comments and it was gone!

Regardless, amazing trailer, and our first good look at Silva! The US domestic trailer has also been releases and is slightly different. What an exciting day to be a Bond fan.

[marktmurphy]

Well that's a bit incredible. I'm rather up for watching this film.

Has Javier been given some sort of fake facelift?

[Vauxhall]

Has Javier been given some sort of fake facelift?

He certainly looks slightly different. I was wondering if he had fake teeth, as well?

Must have been closed by the Mods.

Anyway, what a blast! This looks like we're gonna get a super-high-profile movie, not just "one more Bond". Such a thrill!
I love the cinematography. The colors, the lighting of the sets, the sets themselves, everything is a feast for the eyes.
And everythime I see Fiennes I'm a happy man; so seeing him in a Bond is a dream come true.

All in all, this teaser really does the job: I'm teased all right. Now bring on the full movie!...

Whatever it is, he's creepy as hell.

I had the same thought.

[Messervy]

Yep. Creepy/insane/baddie mood. Somehow reminiscent of Walken's Zorin, in a way. I love that.

Thanks for the heads up. Quite a lot of different scenes!

[WhatMeWorry?]

Javier's look reminds me of Max Zorin

[Odd Jobbies]

Well, there's continuity problems!!!

Only joking, it looks fantastic

I'd hazard a bet that the bridge fall is the end of the pre-titles and the wide of MI6 fades in from the titles, then into Bond's obituary.

That looked a little like Mr White lying dead in that armchair at the beginning! If so, then is there some continuity with the previous 2 films (personally i hope so, i'd love to see Silva at the head of Quantum)

ETA: Btw, Bardem's make up, slightly stretching his eyes and nose reminds me of the scary Joe Pesci character in Martin Scorsese's Casino.

I just looked back at it, at first glance I didn't think it did look like him, but then I looked at the right of his face, and it really does. I doubt it is though due to Jesper Christensen's comments a couple of years ago. It would be a nice, short and sweet way to tie that up though if that's right at the start of the film.

The answer lies in one of the other trailers or clips.

Spoiler

The character dead in the chair is called Ronson.

[Messervy]

I will almost have to stop reading this thread also, if we go that deep into speculations.

[Guy Haines]

First, darned good trailer. I just hope the film lives up to the expectations it has more than likely generated.

Secondly, linking this with the teaser a month or so back, I can't help but think that there is Fleming source material involved here, from the books "You Only Live Twice" and "The Man With The Golden Gun".

Thirdly, is Silva the only major villain? I wonder?

[Messervy]

It seems indeed much more "Flemingesque" in the sense that one can feel some real tension at play.
I guess those who called for a "lighter tone" Bond will have to wait at least until the next one! This one looks dark and heavy with meaning.

[MajorB]

Yowzah!!! Looks really amazing! Some folks have commented that there isn't much of the humor that Craig keeps saying is in the movie, but I suspect that will show up in some of the smaller, non-trailer-worthy moments.

Trying not to get my hopes too high! Failing so far!

[Messervy]

I'm not even trying, since I know I couldn't.
Must be one of the most appealing teasers I've seen (alongside The Expendables 2, in a whole different category)

I'm guessing Fiennes is dirty.

Maybe he is the new M, since his name is Mallory... Or is that too obvious, is he the joker up Mendes sleeve?

Oh well...

...Then again, 'Mr White' might not've been that character's real name. Perhaps it might've been the name you supplied in your spoiler?!

[stamper]

I hope Marc Foster see this and retire from the world cinema.

[Catching Bullets]

Fantastic to see Bond go for the Silva!!

And catch a bullet too.

[Odd Jobbies]

I hope Marc Foster see this and retire from the world cinema.

His tribulations on World War Z may well make that happen at least in terms of action movies. I hope he returns to more thought provoking medium budgeted movies as he has great talent in that arena; Monsters Ball, Stranger Than Fiction and The Kite Runner are all fine movies.

On a side note i love QoS - i just think he didn't understand how to cover the action adequately. It smelt of all storyboard and no coverage, making a tough edit. But the opera scene is one of the best in the franchise, IMHO.

Anyway, back to Skyfallllllll.....

Update: IMDB, as well as:

http://www.movieweb....yfall/cast-crew

Have a fairly comprehensive cast list, but no mention of the character you named. Perhaps this is because his part is so small (and non- speaking), or could it be they don't want to give away the name of the actor (Jesper Christensen).

This is where you pull the rug out from under me with the name of the actor
