it's on that first day back for Bond, he's still in the white shirt, grey suit outfit, the day, or possibly days, before Bond meets Blofeld and M and Tanner.
Why "before" and not "after"? If he is asking Q, it could be because M said no...

Why "before" and not "after"? If he is asking Q, it could be because M said no...
Yes, I am saying he goes to see Q after he sees M.
We know Bond arrives back at MI6 wearing a grey suit with a white button down collar shirt and a tie with a tie pin. He gets out of the Vantage wearing it, he is wearing it in the trailer saying, Bond, James Bond and when he is with Moneypenny and Nomi and we know from the Prince Charles Pinewood set visit that he is wearing that outfit when he meets M. We also know from the trailer that he visits Q wearing that outfit, and Moneypenny is with him and she is wearing the same salmon coloured top (under a cardigan of some description) that she was wearing when she was with Bond and Nomi.
When Bond visits Blofeld with Tanner and meets Madeleine again in the trailer he is wearing the dark suit with a blue shirt, not button down, and a dark tie with a tie pin. We know from leaked BTS pics that he is wearing that dark suit when he meets M and Tanner at Hammersmith bridge.
It's logical that the sequence of events are Bond arrives back at MI6 and then later, in a different outfit, goes with Tanner to Wakefield prison to see Blofeld.
Below is how I think the film will play out based on the trailer, what we know, those early Spectre draft script ideas, other leaks, new info like the Q focused teaser, Fukunaga's recent Empire interview, and a little bit of speculation by me.
The 'Norway' scene with a young Madeleine and a 'younger' Safin is the PTS. After the titles it goes immediately to Bond and Madeleine arriving in Matera. We see an apparently romantic weekend away but Bond goes to Vesper's grave and that is where the attack by Primo and his thugs starts. The Matera chase ends with Madeleine getting on the train and Bond leading the villains to that bridge and Bond apparently dies jumping off it, faking his own death.
There will be a time jump here and we'll see the scientist kidnapping, with those abseiling commandos led by Primo, and maybe the Porton Down chemical lab attack. Then we'll get M and his 'where's 007,' line and it will be Nomi who is 007. Nomi goes on her mission and she goes to Jamaica. This is where they reintroduce Bond and we see his life in Jamiaca with the boat and the spear fishing, leading to his meeting with Felix Leiter. Leiter will give Bond his mission telling Bond he trusts no one and he needs Bond's help. Bond bumps into Nomi in the Jamaican nightclub and they end up at Bond's Jamaican home and she warns him off, 'stay in your lane,' or she'll 'put a bullet in your knee, the one that works'.
Bond goes to Cuba anyway and teams up with Leiter's agent in Cuba, Paloma. Bond doesn't know Nomi is working with CIA agent Ashe (Billy Magnussen) and she doesn't know Ashe is a traitor. Bond and Paloma find themselves at a Spectre meeting, a ball, that has a deadly outcome. Safin is out to destroy Spectre, which he worked for under Blofeld, and usurpe it with his own empire. Safin kills all the Spectre operatives and Bond and Paloma have to fight their way out of the meeting and are chased through Havana. Nomi and Ashe intervene and Paloma kills Primo, but Ashe is revealed as a turncoat and kills Paloma. The Cuba action ends with the exploding boat and Bond's floatplane flying over it.
Bond goes back to London to warn M about what has happened to Spectre and his concerns about Nomi. Bond then visits Q, who says, 'so you're not dead,' confirming Bond did fake his own death. Bond needs Q's help and asks Q for a plane suggesting that the destination is an island. Bond meets M and Tanner secretly in Hammersmith to discuss the infiltration of MI6 and CIA by the new evil empire that has destroyed Spectre. Bond goes to see Blofeld at Wakefield prison and encounters Madeleine again. Blofeld tells Bond her secret will be the death of Bond. While Bond is in Wakefield, Q is taken hostage. Blofeld's release is demanded for Q's safe return. M unofficially sends Bond with Madeleine to the Russian Far East to get Q back.
Tracking down Q, Bond and Madeleine are in a chase with Ashe and his henchmen. With the Vantage, Bond rescues Q but he is mortally wounded. Bond, Madeleine and a dying Q are trying to escape from Ashe's Land Rover Defender and Safin's helicopter but Bond fails, Madeleine is taken and Q dies. Bond is found by Nomi and together they plan to attack Safin's ex-diamond mine lair and they infiltrate it. Bond and Nomi find Safin's deadly algae farm and his cloning/identity changing clinic, and Nomi finds Madeleine and a clone victim child. Bond goes to kill Safin to avenge Q while Nomi, Madeleine and the child escape to a rocky beach. Bond kills Safin and escapes the self-destructing lair reaching the beach and they all escape in a RIB.
Mission accomplished, Bond, Madeleine and the clone child walk into the sunset as a family, Bond has the happy ever after.
The ice lake is a dream that Madeleine wakes up from, then we are in matera, Bond pretends to be asleep while she goes to look at the mask. After Bond jumps off the bridge, he continues the fight through some tunnel beneath the bridge, as we see at the end of the trailer. Then the gunbarrel transitions into the song.
I'm dubious about the Blofeld DOB thing. I hope they are not pulling a DAD on us...
There are a lot of DAD similarities i have noticed.
+ Location order: Cuba, London, then Norway/Scotland serving in for Iceland
+ Black woman marketed as 'the female bond', as Halle Berry said in interviews.
+ Rumors that female bond will get a spinoff.
+ Anti-aging/cloning rumor mirrors the gene therapy plot
+Algae/seaweed is often used in day spas for anti aging the skin. Could be a more literal take on that.
I guess I don't even have to explain what it means. Obviously it can mean nothing but see for yourself
Well it can’t hurt to explain—this is the spoiler thread after all. Are you referring to the Dr No stuff? What even is a mood board? ?:)
It’s nothing to do with the film (apart from part of the publicity): just a creative brief for those designing an artwork to celebrate Craig’s Bond. I’m not really sure why it’s been mentioned here.
Well, I uploaded it because a) it's an official contest from the producers of No Time to Die, announced by Daniel Craig himself on social media, b) it's about designing a poster for "No Time to Die", c) the moodboard (which for a designer/client is a, let's say, a collage of different images to give a good idea about where the design should or will go) has pretty much only Dr. No related stuff from the past non-Craig movies.
So the spoiler in my view is that since the contest holders are directly linked to Universal Studios / producers (because it will be an official poster after the contest is finished) they gave the designers a pretty clear inspiration - all previous Craig films (hence Specter/Casino Royale/Skyfall/Quantum) + ONLY dr. no related stuff (not counting that "james bond is back" artwork. Since there are 4 Dr. No related artworks in that moodboard, but literally zero from the Moore/Dalton/Brosnan era and not really anything about other Connery films I think it's at least a bit suspicious.
Well, I uploaded it because a) it's an official contest from the producers of No Time to Die, announced by Daniel Craig himself on social media, b) it's about designing a poster for "No Time to Die",
No it’s not
It’s to design a poster celebrating the Craig Bond films: they don’t ask for it to be a NTTD one.

I think it just shows they’re more interested in the pop-art sort of style rather than painted imagery. I’m not sure there’s any more to read into it than that.
I'm dubious about the Blofeld DOB thing. I hope they are not pulling a DAD on us...
but if he was born 1948, then he can't have been Bond's foster-brother, so that's a good thing, right?
There is that yeah. However, on the photo in SP it is clearly Christoph Waltz with his father and Bond, therefore I don't know how they're gonna explain it without something like DAD-style plastic surgery. Franz Oberhauser's 'death' was 20 years ago.
So yeah, it would be cool if Blofeld is not Oberhauser after all, but I don't know how they'd pull that off without seeming like DAD.
Or.... maybe the DOB is a massive mistake by the film makers lol
Good point emtiem. Being a graphic designer by day, it did occur to me for this reason that this was a pretty vague brief. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for the moment and assume that wanted a range of ideas, but I feel like the written brief was a call for a DC-era-spanning poster, but that the moodboard was screaming for a NTTD teaser.
........
No it’s not
It’s to design a poster celebrating the Craig Bond films: they don’t ask for it to be a NTTD one.
"The next Bond movie is coming out and we are looking for the brightest (...) to come up with a poster for 007."
If he was the client I would be absolutely sure that the poster needs to be for NTTD (just like the contest for Spider-Man Far From Home was about Spider-Man Far From Home, not all spider-man movies). But hell what do I know, I'm just the head of design in an agency in Krakow and I don't probably understand a brief. Can't even believe that from being excited about a detail like this that could drive more speculation I'm just being constantly reminded that I'm wrong, the fact that it needs to be a poster about "bond's legacy" doesn't exclude the fact that it's connected with NTTD.
The ice lake is a dream that Madeleine wakes up from, then we are in matera, Bond pretends to be asleep while she goes to look at the mask. After Bond jumps off the bridge, he continues the fight through some tunnel beneath the bridge, as we see at the end of the trailer. Then the gunbarrel transitions into the song.
Also nothing is going to replace spectre.
The clothes Bond is wearing in the tunnel are the clothes he's wearing in the lair, its the tactical trousers with the white long sleeved top. It's not a tunnel under the bridge he jumps off.
I don't think it's a dream, it has to be a reality, a flashback, and that explains the broken mask in the box we apparently see Madeleine looking at in another trailer shot. But I don't think she is looking at the mask while they are in the hotel, that doesn't make sense to me.
I have noticed that the Caucasian woman looking in the mask box (we know her ethnicity from her hand) is not wearing the same clothes as Madeleine is in the shot of Madeleine with tears in her eyes. And in that crying shot it looks like an office interior and not a hotel and not the interior we saw in the BTS leak photos of the Matera hotel suite.
BTW the woman opening the box is wearing a dark cream coloured top while crying Madeleine is wearing a black top.
So, IMHO it is possible that the shot of the mask box being opened and the shot of Madeleine with tears in her eyes may not be the same scene.

Did you read the brief though? “Create poster artwork that is inspired by the Daniel Craig Bond films, and celebrates the design legacy of Bond”. And Craig’s quote you posted says the same i.e it’s not specifically supposed to be for or represent solely NTTD: he says “for 007”, not “for the new film”. Yes, the competition is obviously to celebrate the launch of NTTD, but the artwork itself isn’t. I’m really sorry but that’s what the brief actually says.
I doubt you’d be penalised if you made it for NTTD but I bet they’d take the logo off.

There seems to be de-aging issue/tech/mcguffin at stake in No Time to Die — the biggest clue being the film title in itself (that theory works also with the initial title A Reason to Die).
I wonder that nobody to my knowledge picked up on Safin saying he has a history of violence like Bond... Whereas the Safin's character is less jacked than Q's cats.
I agree with you completely that the callout is rather broad (implying inclusion of pre-NTTD films), but just thought I'd quickly let any artists here know that in the comments section of the 007 Hub for this project, a rep for Talenthouse has confirmed that the poster should be for NTTD.
All the best,

Hmm, in that case I think emtiem might owe a bit of an apology to MrZareba for the earlier heated discussion about this comp
I didn’t get heated, no. And the brief clearly states it’s for all of the Craig films, not NTTD. If they choose to revise that then we’ll see what happens.
I feel like the only thing revised was the entry period (I think it actually dropped several days.
Yes I don’t think anyone needs to apologise at this point. There’s clearly still questions as many people are wondering if ‘no photography’ means no sourced imagery OR if it also includes an artist taking their own photographic elements for use in a digital composition. If it’s all inclusive (what do you guys think btw?) then it feels like they want the ‘simplified’ graphical elements seen in most of the No posters and the title sequence to Casino. ‘Be inspired by the Bond films of Daniel Craig’ is all well and good, but there are examples of both graphic (Casino Title Sequence) and ‘photographic’ (bullet hole teaser poster for Spectre, say). Hoping this convo continues to be relevant to this thread. Apologies if I’m out of place.
I think a Bond fan could smoke this competition, if we could just firm up the boundaries lol

“[Daniel’s] been the most extraordinary Bond,” producer Barbara Broccoli tells our sister publication Total Film magazine in their new 2020 Preview issue, which includes the exclusive new image of Craig’s Bond, above. “When you trace the evolution of the Bond character from Casino Royale to now, it feels very epic. This film feels like a culmination.”
Franchise newcomers in No Time to Die include Lashana Lynch’s Nomi, Ana de Armas' Paloma and, of course, Rami Malek’s mysterious villain, Safin. Is there somebody worse than Blofeld?” teases producer Michael G. Wilson of 007’s new adversary. “Well, maybe there is, out there...”
Ultimately, though, No Time to Die’s most crucial mission is giving Craig’s Bond the send-off he deserves. “We always set out to make the best Bond film ever,” says Broccoli. “Our feeling is that we’ve achieved that on this one.”

Franchise newcomers in No Time to Die include Lashana Lynch’s Nomi, Ana de Armas' Paloma and, of course, Rami Malek’s mysterious villain, Safin. Is there somebody worse than Blofeld?” teases producer Michael G. Wilson of 007’s new adversary. “Well, maybe there is, out there...”
Ultimately, though, No Time to Die’s most crucial mission is giving Craig’s Bond the send-off he deserves. “We always set out to make the best Bond film ever,” says Broccoli. “Our feeling is that we’ve achieved that on this one.”
