    The other place could be the beach location where Bond met Honey in Dr. No. I guess that would have to depend on the weather. Fleming's house might be more practical.
    Some dude on Mi6 uploaded a screenshot of Goldeneye Resort booking calendar and seems the place is booked out just for today and Thursday lol

    Mystery solved! :D

    NOW THATS MORE LIKE IT! I’ll be eagerly waiting for it to start tomorrow. Off work too, buzzing.

    Special 30 min programme with Alex Zane that evening in the UK 9pm too!! tomorrow is looking a good day.
    A relief and certainly makes me feel happier now we have this coming tomorrow.

    Things I’m sure will heat up nicely now, FINALLY. The clothes spotting guys on here I hope your at the ready as I’m wanting to get my hands on the gear I’m sure we’ll start to see. As soon as possible whilst stocks last!! :v

    Onwards and upwards -{

    I'm going with the beach as the "iconic" location. I think Goldeneye would be "Who is Ian Fleming? There are James Bond books, too?" for the intended audience. Bonus points for an Ursula Andreas appearance.

    I'm surprised we haven't found a domain registration for the title yet...

    So anyone want to be bold or foolish enough to make a final prediction what the title is?

    I am going to predict...

    DEATH TO SPIES

    Well I wouldn't look forward too much to a Zane programme! :)
    But the rest of it will be good. Apart from the sure-to-be-disappointing title, of course. Still, it gives us all something to moan about tomorrow! :)

    I encourage the Mods to get enough sleep tonight, because I think there will be a lot of moderating to do tomorrow :D

    The past two pages have been a microcosm of how know-it-all fandom is taken as gospel before being debunked. :))

    My GUESS:

    Live press conference (and Twitter Q&A, according to the 007 social media accounts) tomorrow; all the outlets promoting something for Friday will be recording cast/crew interviews after the conference on Thursday and cutting them into edited packages to run on Friday.

    Looks like Sky showing their interviews tomorrow evening :)

    More news!

    Official James Bond Twitter account:
    THURSDAY APRIL 25TH AT 13.10 BST

    OFFICIAL LIVE LAUNCH OF BOND 25, FROM ONE OF 007’S MOST ICONIC LOCATIONS

    TUNE IN FOR EXCLUSIVE CAST NEWS, FOLLOWED BY A SPECIAL Q&A

    https://twitter.com/i/status/1121026657253494784

    Live launch! So that is a press conference of sorts, I guess. Perhaps not in the traditional way but as it's live it's like a press conference. ;) I guess it will feature pre-recorded clips of the crew and cast as well as live stuff.

    They have GMT in the graphic and BST in the tweet's text. What is so difficult about getting the time zone right? The UK is now BST. It is GMT October to March. 13.10h GMT is 14.10h BST.

    It's a good thing we have the Sky Cinema guide, so that will be BST and so we know it's all happening at 13.10BST, as the tweet's text states correctly.

    They had one job on that graphic...

    Agreed, although that programme will no doubt be an overview of the days events its nice that Bond is back amongst the headlines and being talked about and we'll have something to properly talk about based on facts as opposed to hearsay and rumours.

    Positive either way and something to talk about -{

    I hope you're right.

    As Sky Cinema is a sister channel to Sky News I am hoping Sky News covers it all.

    The Property Of A Lady because of the #metoo rumours.

    But I have a horrible feeling it will be "007", I really hope that won't happen.

    The Garden Of Death is my #1 wish, but I doubt it will happen, as no Japan location rumours.

    I think GMA and perhaps GMB are going to have some exclusive content, separate and apart from the main announcement. So before EON announced the official Bond 25 reveal, it looked like only those two outlets were going to be featuring Bond 25-related content.

    Isn't it more likely they're just saying 'exclusive' like these things always do, without it actually really being so? After all, if you have a two-minute interview booked with Dan Craig, it's 'exclusively' only you who'll have what he'll say to you, despite him probably repeating himself to everyone else in the junket that day.

    Blimey; they're starting early. I don't think I've seen a sponsor use the press launch before!

    I am just so glad its finally got to this point and we're going to have some sort of official start to filming. Whether we have the complete cast line up and title and synopsis, or just DC, Fukunaga and Mike Wilson saying how lovely Jamaica is, at least it's finally happening.

    Wayback in 2015, I was happy to accept the idea that it would be a 3-year wait. I knew DC was contracted for another so I always thought it was likely he would do another. I was ready for November 2018.

    2016 went by, 2017 came, and then we had the surprise July announcement of a 2019 release. But what was Daniel doing? Finally DC announced he was coming back for another in August 2017.

    Disappointed, I was ready for 2019, it was a four year gap, Skyfall was a four year gap, it's DC's last, apparently, Bond25 could only be a good one.

    A year later, Danny Boyle had quit, and three or so months after officially taking the job. WTF. I know people say there has always been a bit of drama behind the scenes and I know we had a six year gap with LTK and GE and a four year gap between Quantum and Skyfall, but we knew MGM had financial trouble in the 1990s, and we knew Sam Mendes was involved a long time before cameras rolled on Skyfall - there was a plan.

    I'm just relieved the chaos has ended. Purvis & Wade said they didn't know how to write a post-Brexit Bond film. The Brexit chaos seems to have had a similar effect on the Bond process.

    Yet, finally, the wagons are rolling, finally we're going to get some solid info, finally we can have a lot of confidence that in April next year, James Bond really is going to return. About bloody time.

    Don't forget: We have seen James Bond (the character, not Daniel Craig) ordered by M to cross-dress to protest the wage gap. If they go woke on this we must boycott, but so far #MeToo can only be found in the tabloids. These Victim/Oppressor mentalities are the apotheosis of the Cold War, the very thing James Bond was created to oppose.

    In line with EONs belief that each film should reflect the biggest problem facing the world, it is clear that that threat has already been hinted at in both Quantum and Spectre. It should be the same threat, only infinitely worse: How easy it is (and has been) for a rogue organization/ideology to infiltrate and corrupt the very fabric of government and the media. We have seen only two double agents, one a field agent and one overseer Maxwell Denbigh. Why is it that each time Mi6 is so easily infiltrated, it leaves it at that and doesn't investigate the legitimacy of other operatives? I am not talking of where their nationality lies so much as where their ideologies lie, since the people in control insist that there are no nations. The admittedly Orwellian NINE EYES vote that took place in Spectre is an actual declassified existing program with the exact same name, only from what Edward Snowden has since leaked their are actually as many as 14 eyes. How insane is it that we were being warned through fiction of the potential for global mass surveillance under a New World Intelligence but were already living under it?

    Let's be clear: NINE EYES is SPECTRE. The West hasn't been taken by Russians. It has been taken by ideological subversion of useful idiots in line with Yuri Bresmenov's the escaped Soviet informant's teachings. Mi6 is in all likelihood a subbranch of Spectre as much as Quantum was. I understand they were trying to do this very thing with the CIA. Wouldn't it be Mi6 as well if they are both part of NINE EYES, or was NINE EYES never officially stamped and this Universe is freer than we are? To me, it seemed like everyone signed it except Mi6 and South Africa, then South Africa got bombed and signed it. Seems silly to require all 9 eyes to sign in to law when they could just call it EIGHT EYES and open the 9th eye later on.

    Furthermore might we see a brainwashed Bond, a'la TMWTGG, attempt an assassination of M as he is the only man stopping SPECTRE from a complete tentacle hold on Mi6? Or is brainwashing to such an extent (as our views on brainwashing have been subverted to a cartoony impossibility) now seen as pastiche? I would like to think that lobotomy machine did something if anything.
