We already know that Spectre will lean more toward "classic Bond" than something more overtly gimmicky or futuristic. This new 60-second TV spot for the film supports that notion.
It's dark and shadow-y, with an ominous yellow glow typical of a David Fincher film (Zodiac, Se7en, The Social Network). "You've got a secret," a female voice says. "Something you can't tell anyone, because you don't trust anyone."
Sure, this new Bond chapter will have the requisite high-octane action sequences and explosions, but it instantly feels more cerebral than visually exhausting. Right down to the dramatic pacing of Bond's signature name-check line: "Bond ... James ....... Bond."
