Do we even have a teaser trailer for this yet?

I'm eagerly looking forward to this. Might be the Thomas Crown sequel we may never get.

[Harmsway]

The trailer is up on the official site. If the trailer is any indication, Brosnan's performance seems to be the exact same one he gave us in DAD. I'll be checking it out regardless. I've got a thing for heist flicks, and this one looks like it'll be enjoyable.

[Agent 76]

don't seem to much of a thing this one.

[Tarl_Cabot]

Yes, he does look good. Better than he did in the last 007 film...I will see this film. The premise sounds like a sequel to Thomas Crown.

[Athena007]

I just watched the trailer... WOW ...It looks AWESOME! I'm so eXcited!!! Is it November yet? Is it November yet? Is it November yet?

[Double-Oh-Zero]

*sigh* If only I was Salma Hayek in that picture.

Just saw the trailer. Looks pretty good. Although I hope it's not just going to be another TCA, with Salma Hayek instead of Rene Russo.

Not that I'm complaining about Salma (see above).

[Qwerty]

That trailer looks fantastic, and everyone looks great.

Really looking forward to this one.

[Athena007]

That trailer got me psyched. Ya psyched

I got the trailer on ET on Friday night. Pierce looks migh-T-y fine in that trailer, and it looks like this movie is going to seriously rock, and show folks that when Pierce wants to bring it, he BRINGS it.

Strangely enough, at about 10:45 that same night, I heard some screaming coming from the west. Perhaps it was Eon realizing what they just kissed off.

One can only pray.....

I don't think the performance looks like any more than the standard Pierce we've come to expect. Thus far, Brosnan's two best performances were in The Tailor of Panama and Evelyn. His character in Sunset just has the same delivery and mannerisms of Brosnan's Bond in DAD.

But despite that, I don't think that matters too much. "Standard Pierce"should be able to carry a movie like this, it's just that I'd prefer to see something a little different from him.

I will agree. This film looks like it carries lots of potential, and Brosnan could really be a standout in it, if they wanted him to be.

[mattbowyer]

Anyone else thinks this looks pretty cool. Very Thomas Crown, even the music in the trailer.

No sign of Woody and Pierce's big love scene either.

[Qwerty]

Definitely. Could be one of his best films.

[Von Hammerstein]

Yep ol' Pierce can still hold yer attention. Though I'd say he's got the 007 curse, it took Connery decades to slip free of it, Roger had the sense to stop making movies after handing in his license to kill, Dalton is still struggling with it to some degree. And what I mean is whenever the actor plays an action type guy, you keep waiting for him to turn to the girl and say: "Bond, James Bond." and then music crescendos etc. It doesn't help Pierce that the trailer is chockablock with gadgets, islands, and beuatiful women. The scene where he's walking through the Junkanoo screamed Thunderball even though Pierce was but a lad when that movie came out. An icon is a terrible cross to bear. And Michael and Babs should have let him have one more crack at 007. The trailer alone for After The Sunset proves he's still the Bond for a New World Order.

[Martin Aston]

I hate to pour cold water on all this, but I thought the trailer looked cliched and tired. Yet another "one last heist" (or mission, or job,) reminiscent of a zillion other pictures. A "B" movie, rather than something sparkling and new.

And if I'm not wrong, isn't Pierce driving a car by remote control in the trailer?

Again, sorry to be doubtful here. But I wasn't impressed. Or all that interested. And I think the box office will be in the same range as the Tailor of Panama, and the Laws Of Attraction, meaning EON will be proven right: Pierce is a movie star only when he plays Bond. Bond sells the tickets, not Pierce.

Tough you have to admit they way they took control of the car was pretty cool.

[Martin Aston]

Cool? Yes. In concept.

In reality: Pierce was bouncing around the back of the car in TND as he drove it by remote control. Here, he's standing still, on the top of a building overlooking the Disney concert hall, passively doing the same thing.

The audience, it's all the same thing. He's driving a car by remote control... Which he did almost eight years ago in a Bond film.

But in the Bond film, he was more active, and more tied in to the action.

So again, it looks to me like you've got one part TND (the car) one part DAD's exotic woman (Selma for Hallie), one part last big break in (Thomas Crown), and one part pensive love conflict on a beach (Natalya from Goldeneye,) adding up to something that we seem to have seen before.

I'll admit, however, that I like Pierce's looks in this a lot better than the more recent Bond films, where he looks (to my eye) a little too gaunt, styled, stressed out, and euro-trashy.

There are times in TWINE and DAD when it looks to me like he's trying out for Zoolander.

[Athena007]

I seem to find that since GoldenEye he seems to play his charactures (outside of Bond) more Bondian than he does Bond. So... i'm excited

On this, I agree with you. I wish he brought half the fun to Bond that he brings to these other roles. The last time he looked like he was enjoying himself was in Goldeneye. Ever since, I think he's been playing Bond like a man in pain, while in his other films, he seems more cool, ironic and Bondian.

When I first saw Goldeneye I thought that Brosnan would ultimately overshadow Connery. But with each passing film, which I think have gotten worse, he seems to get smaller while the action gets bigger.
