Really? This poster is really bad. What is Craig doing? Taking a stroll on a nice Sunday afternoon?

Boring.

My thoughts exactly. He should be crouched, pointing the gun.
I know he's a tough guy, but Craig looks like a nerd in this pic.
I would've thought they'd do something better.

I like the tunnel as it's classic Bond imagery from the opening credits, but Craig looks all wrong...it would have been better with Bond as a silhouette or having him partly obscured in some way to add some mystery...the marketing gimps probably demanded Craig's craggy face in full effect though.

Craig looks like he should be playing Bond's chauffeur or porter.

He doesnt fit the Bond image any better than Timothy Dalton did, IMO.

I was going to go with 'Zzzzzzzz....'...

Much like the posters for the last film...

It's quite good IMO - I like that it's in stark black and white.

I very much like Craig as an actor( Road to Perdition) and I think he did an excellent job in Casino Royale (QoS sucked ass) but you nailed it. His face is far too preeminent in that poster.

I dont remember if this bit on poster design has been posted here.

Simes,Is that a genuine teaser quad or an online mock up?
The IMAX thing is throwing me off...

Simes · « **Reply #885 on:** May 18, 2012, 03:18:41 AM »

It is what is up at 007.com. Apparently unveiled at Cannes yesterday at 17:00 UK time

They call it a poster, but they also called the 50th Anniversary thing a poster, which I have yet to actually see IN poster form.

An article on Yahoo this morning on the "best" Bond posters. Pretty much the Connery and Craig posters

This December Skyfall supposedly is being "recalled" because the release date has been changed to November:

Also posted in "Recalled" posters thread....

Simes · « **Reply #888 on:** June 17, 2012, 02:10:56 PM »

Yes, it seems the list of the US teaser posters so far are;

December
November Imax
November 2012

There are other stock images used on ebay sales but they are Coming Soon and Coming 2012, which don't seem to exist as posters - yet, or as far as I know.

Then there is the October 26 Uk version in quad and 1 Sheet versions.

I think those are all the versions I have come across thus far.

Anyone know anything about these, apart from they were a smiths crisps promotion....

A couple of really cool wacky James Bond promo items from the 1960s:

http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2620638

2h069 LOT OF 2 JAMES BOND PROMO ITEMS FROM THE 1960s '60s cool decal & secret agent code book!

Description of Lot: a lot of 2 James Bond promo items from the 1960s. These are really cool! One is an 8" x 10" decal with the classic 007 symbol that surely dates from the 1960s (our consignor believes it was a "water-release" decal). The other is a "booby-trap" exploding code book (it is held shut with a pencil at the spine, and when you remove the pencil, you can open the book, but a tiny hidden cap gun is triggered and it makes a loud noise (if it is loaded with a cap). Both items come from the collection of a studio executive who acquired them in the 1960s, and we are certain they are authentic.

I don't know if this has been posted yet or not, but looks like a new Bond poster book is coming out. Hardcover in a slip case with two art prints and 304 pages:

Bought this recently.

Could also go in the text only poster thread, but don't want to needlessly

the place.

paul waines · « **Reply #893 on:** July 12, 2012, 06:02:53 PM »

How did I miss that one....... Well done, and do post it in the text only thread....

I had been in touch with this guy to explain the deal - he hasn't actually said they aren't original, just hinted.

Oh well.

paul waines · « **Reply #897 on:** July 26, 2012, 01:49:08 AM »

It says Original in his title, some may not have read the description.... Or don't know the difference!!

and the prices although low for those bonds if Originals, are still very high for a re-pro, I think they were £7.99 to buy last time I saw any at a Fair, so very expensive... and you have someone believing they have bought an Original, Most Shoddy.
