That's a very good point as well. The Euros do a bit of a rushed song and visual performance on the field about an hour before the first match. They aren't exactly cutting edge or well organised/produced because fans don't exactly like the overproduction of matches.
Having Bond in something like that probably wouldn't work very well. I think the best way to do marketing would be to have trailers between halves, the presenters mention the film and show Bond films on ITV after England matches.
This is all in the assumption however they'd aim for summer 2028 because of the Euros, which is very unlikely. The film will probably be released when it's ready, if it so happens to come out in mid-July 2028, the Euros could be an opportunity
Yeah, I agree. I mean, if it's a later 2028 release (so autumn or even a bit later into the year), by all means have the teaser trailer play during adverts if it's being released at that time anyway (that's how most films are advertised through the Euros, and it's a good spot). I'm not sure if I can see the next Bond actor being part of the Cardiff opening ceremony though nor can I see Bond 26 and the Euros being linked spiritually.
So even if Villeneuve being tied up with Dune is a factor, yes, 2027 could well be on the cards!
I simply believe there's a large segment of the crowd that goes nuts for big sports events that couldn't care less about a new film in theatres, and vice versa.
As for Amazon, I suppose the world is not enough: they target everyone. But not with the same products.
There was a lot of people who went to see Skyfall that didn't care about the London Olympics in 2012, but it doesn't change the fact it had an impact on the films success.
I'm not saying that such things don't impact each other somewhat, but I wouldn't want to exaggerate their mutual impact either.
So if you're admitting there is a positive impact, why would that be something the filmmakers should wish to avoid?
Unless Amazon and the producers of Dune have negotiated this-- and all one has to do is look at Henry Cavill''s mustache controversy to see how producers help producers- this is exceptionally unlikely to happen. It's baked into the contract of big tent pole pics, with big-time directors to do press and premieres.
And press tours can last for a couple to three months depending on how they stagger the release worldwide.
I think it’s too minor an issue to take into account. It’s hard enough just to avoid clashing with other film releases.
