This one has a bit more about it. 
 

Interesting. Christoph Waltz's accent in the interview sounds more "mid-Atlantic" than I've heard him. And I've never heard of filming on a Bond being compared to a church service!

Let us pray - or in the case of Mr. Hinx, "let us prey"? ;-)

The first one I've seen with Andrew Scott.

The Telegraph are publishing a few, here is the one with Monica Bellucci

Looks like the telegraph is checking out the forums, they mention the " Who said it?" debate.

[thecasinoroyale]

0:15 and 1:37 in the Bellucci video....what's he looking at? A small man pointing a gun at him? Haha, keep your eyes up mate or at least look at something else on that gorgeous lady before you! And man, when she speaks those names of other actresses.....*feels all warm inside*

 

Great videos, and you're right Matt - I will take the notion of "Bond fans" debating the line as our fans here! Wooop.

BBC Newsbeat go for a quick 'BTS' chat and tour at Pinewood in an article today:

Jonathan Ross made a 46 minute special on SPECTRE featuring interviews with all principal actors and Mendez.

In the UK, it seems the Daily Mail on Sunday are giving away a free BTS 'SPECTRE' DVD.

 

Will have to try grab this, but I assume it'll be nothing more than the vlogs and trailers popped on disc. Still cool to own, whatever it may be!

[DamnCoffee]

Damn. I'm that poor I can't even afford the Mail on Sunday.

I still have a Casino Royale Exclusive DVD from The News of The World lying around somewhere. It has a great version of the theatrical trailer without the choir music and a few BTS blogs. Pretty cool.

I assume that it contains not much more than the vlogs and trailers.

 

What really puzzles me is the fact that there still is no trace of an official SPECTRE movie website.

Fun to look at the cast photos. Love that the men are all wearing suits, a collared shirt or a blazer, and then there's Daniel in jeans and a turtleneck.

[DamnCoffee]

I highly doubt official websites bring it a lot of commerical success these days. I mean, most big name movies have Facebook and other social networking websites to lean on really. Having an official website would only be an expensive way to have a few trailers, some film stills, a synopsis and a cast break down all in one place. Let's face it. Most of these can be found on Facebook anyway. Not to mention Youtube for the media advertising. Social Networking is a much easier way of promoting a film rather than having an official website there that no one really bothers visiting anymore. A website that costs quite a bit of money to keep running probably. 007.com is still up and running, and posting all news and updates there, too. Why go to the trouble of having a seperate standalone website - plus it would've probably ended up leaking the title of the movie early. Like every other time a Bond film has tried to launch it's website on the sly.

 

I know Jurassic World had an official site, but come to think of it, do many films have 'offical websites' these days? It seems like something that doesn't seem to bother anyone anymore.

[Matt_13]

Social media does the trick as far as advertisement is concerned. At least we have happy memories of the fantastic Casino Royale website. I really wish they kept that dossier read by Villiers on 007.com though.

[Shrublands]

I almost got the feeling that Hinx will literally have a hook as a weapon in some way. Given the brutal way he attacks that poor fellow in the first trailer, maybe he's got a secreted hook up his sleeve that he uses to mutilate and kill. Or maybe I read too deeply into the way Bautista jumped on the word.

 
I think I know what it is and it's a bit bizarre.

I´ve searched every Hinx picture out there and I´ve yet to find one where we can see his thumbs. And if you freeze frame the trailer in that scene where he slams open the train doors, you can see something shining in his right thumb. But hey, that´s just guessing. Were you joking or serious, Shrubs?

[Vauxhall]

I thought he was just really strong!

[univex]

I thought he was just really strong!

Yep, me too. And well dressed.

But regarding that eye popping scene in the trailers, literally speaking here, it would make sense. It´s not mentioned in you-know-where but hey, everything is possible, right? I, for one, like the idea. But maybe Shrubs was joking

Feels like the social media campaign has been pretty underwhelming as they get closer to release. Seems like the video blogs dried up, and there hasn't been much of a countdown. It wasn't too complex last time, but we at least had the countdown photos: "SKYFALL IN ___ DAYS", etc.

Aside from a few Bond fanatics I follow on twitter, no one else I follow is talking about. All their hype is towards December 18th.

Not joking.
 
It's not just that scene where he slams the train doors open. Try freeze framing when he kills the guy at the Spectre meeting in the full trailer and when he walks on set in the Jonathan Ross special and you will see...
 

Spoiler

...a metallic glint from his thumbs. It might be metal tips to his thumbs or sharp metal nails or the full metal thumbs but I am convinced that there is something metalic about Hinx's thumbs.

[sharpshooter]

Well that's really nifty if true. Jaws had his teeth, Oddjob his hat and possibly Hinx his

Spoiler

metal thumbs.

I'm sure Bautista has put in a fine performance, but there may be more to Hinx than just hired muscle moving from scene to scene.

[univex]

I think you´ve got something there Shrubs. It´s incredible what they´ve managed to keep under wraps all of this time. If true, this would really be all sorts of awesome. Classic Bond awesome. 

[thecasinoroyale]

Well that's certainly interesting indeed and very original!

I remember Bond being a little bit concerned about a certain type of torture in OP. If you're right about this it lends a whole new meaning to one part of it.

Ok, I've had chance to have a good look round now and out of the 3 suggestions I made in the above spoiler tab, I've settled on...
 

Spoiler

Sharp metal nails on his thumbs.

Going by the trailer, I'd say his signature kill is to use these to gouged out his victim's eyes.

[Guy Haines]

I hope that's not the case but wouldn't be at all surprised if it is. There's a famous play which involves such a scene. Even though the act is only suggested, I was in the audience when a fellow audience member fainted at that point.

Yes, there is that bit in King Lear, which incidentally Mendes directed just before Spectre.

 

I suspect this is way the MPAA said...

 

 

Spectre is rated PG-13 for for intense sequences of action and violence, some disturbing images, sensuality and language
