    My hope is that whenever the press conference is it’s at a time I can enjoy with my wife or at the very least someone uploads it to YouTube without the title so I can exeperience the reveal with my wife

    Hey ho, I shouldn't have bothered with waiting around an hour to record it on ITV+1, upload it and then share it with like minded eager Bond fans ready for the press conference.

    GMB is back on the TV tomorrow. Perhaps we will hear more then.
    I didn’t know it was an mi6community member who uploaded the promo. This changes everything. Thanks for the clarification!

    How much of Bond is going to be funded by incentives? Between this if true and the location incentives are we close to 125 GBP?


    Yeah thats not unusual. I *think* Die Another Day was funded purely by product placement. And you can see the results of that in the film. Hence in CR he product placement was intentionally paired back.

    Was it? It might have been scaled back but was not handled well at all. The Ford commercial in the Bahamas was awful.

    I do appreciate you uploading it Mallory, thanks so much for that. It is quite odd how vague the promo is. It’s almost like it’s promoting the release of a new Bond movie rather than a potential press conference.

    I've read too that they tried to be more conscious with CR, after DAD earned the nickname "Buy Another Day" and papers were writing about Bond having a "Licence to Shill". They referenced the Omega dialogue as being more natural and written into the story, as to make it less in-your-face.
    Of course, one can seriously argue about the execution of something that sounded okay in theory...

    CR is my #1 ranked Bond film ; I love virtually everything about it, but that “ Ford commercial “ pulls me out of it momentarily every time; it is very heavy handed.

    The Mail on Sunday is also reporting the product placement story.... but at the end it says

    The film will formally launch in Jamaica - where Bond author Ian Fleming lived - later this week.

    To me that Ford Mondeo moment is laugh out loud funny, part of the fun.

    Never been too bothered with the Ford moment actually.

    With all the product placement money do people think we may get some snobby Bond lines in this movie?

    Bond 25 press conference to take place in Jamaica this week:
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6943577/Luxury-brands-pay-75million-star-latest-James-Bond-film.html
    BOND-25-MARCH-29-2019-KAF.jpg

    The article is from the Mail on Sunday who also revealed Waller-Bridge's involvement.

    I imagine the press got their invites to Jamaica last week - hence the GMB reveal. This is just further confirmation of that. I believe @Lizo is one of the few members of the press on this forum. He'll know the date.

    I'd assume it'll be either Wednesday or Thursday. I'd also hazard a guess that it'll take place at 15:00 GMT as that is 9:00am in Jamaica

    Thanks to @peter we have known for a while that the PC will be held in Jamaica, but is this the first time that Jamaica as the location of the PC has been mentioned by the press?

    I believe so, yes. At least in these firm of terms.

    As always, @peter -- well done! I'm personally hoping it's this week as well, as I may be travelling for business the following week and wouldn't want that to interrupt my watching of it. ;)

    And this, which isn't product placement, but an inserted commercial:

    Personally provided it doesn't detract from the movie, I don't mind product placement. Like Daniel said it's part of the reason these films get made. I like the Omega placement in Casino, it fit nicely into the scene and I personally enjoyed the fact it was almost like a put down that it wasn't a Rolex.
    The only one in Daniel's films I wasn't too fond of, was the focus on the watch in the train chase in the digger, it was just a sec or two too long. It felt poorly timed, given the adrenaline filled chase it was at the point the movie. It didn't take me out of the movie but it did distract me.

    I can just imagine it!

    Q: Ah 007, there you are. I have a new phone for you.
    Bond: What is it?
    Q: Its a Huawei. It does the spying for you.
    (Bond winks at camera).

    I actually don't have a problem with most product placement, as long as it's handled within the context of what we are seeing. There is nothing wrong with seeing a brand when Bond is looking at his watch or computer or drinking a bottle of beer. I actually think it adds a level of authenticity to what I am seeing (Bond is in the real world.)

    I think Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind was one of the first films that had this kind of product/brand placement, and I remember thinking (as young as I was) that it was far more realistic seeing these brands in the film.

    Indeed. The wait is going to be worth it.

    That last sentiment. So much.

    As frustrating as this journey has been by times, I think the result is going to be all that much sweeter for it. I feel more hopeful, confident and hyped than I have at any point in the film's development so far. And I'm really looking forward to the payoff.

    I've reached a point in my life where I'm trying not to take anything for granted. And the fact that a Bond film is about to be in production, with a tremendously all-time great Bond actor in the lead role, delivering a worthwhile finale for (IMO) this "second Golden age" of 007 -- well, it just brings me joy.

    Really interested to finally know the title and main cast (besides already-confirmed actors of course). Also a brief synopsis maybe.

    Still not as bad as:

    Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar XKR convertible, 2003 James Bond Edition Ford Thunderbird, and Ski-Doo snowmobile; Bollinger champagne, Finlandia vodka, Heineken beer, 7-Up, and Ty Nant curvy PET bottles; Revlon cosmetics 007 Color Collection; Brioni suit tailoring; Electronic Arts video game 007: Nightfire (2002); British Airways and Samsonite luggage; Mattel 007 Barbie Collector's Edition set; Omega Seamaster Swatch watches; Philips Electronics Philishave Sensotec and Norelco Spectra shavers; Kodak cameras; Vodaphone and Sony Ericsson mobile phones; VISA credit cards; Energizer batteries; Philips heart rate monitor; Sony security systems, television cameras, and laptop PCs; and retail outlets Circuit City and Best Buy.

    Or:

    Renault automobiles; Michelin tires; Stolichnaya vodka; BP; Phillips computers; Phillips Electronics; Apple computers, Lafite Rothschild wine; The Sharper Image; Cartier; Bollinger Champagne, particularly a Bollinger '75; Diner's Club; Chevron Oil USA; Seiko Time (U.K.) Ltd.; Whiskas, and two spin-off video games, A View to a Kill (1985) and James Bond 007: A View to a Kill (1985).

    The only time the product placement in CR bothered me was with "Rolex? "Omega".

    And about the "Ford Commercial":

    1) He's only driving it for like 30 seconds (I remember the bitching about him driving a Mondeo, luckily the car was not painted blond). It was a pre production model.

    Here are some setpics:

    https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/2007-ford-mondeo-to-star-in-casino-royale-ar14128.html


    2) There are Ford Group cars parked at the Club, but not all of them are.

    Have a look at:

    Yeah more on the Ford Mondeo, it was never marketed in the US.

    So Bond on his own arrives and somehow rents a prototype vehicle not available to the general public. And in short order improves his lot by upgrading to a classic Aston Martin DB5. Pretty cool.
