Apologies if this isn't new to some of us here, but it is to me and a nice fresh piece of 'Skyfall' to chew over. Just found this little gem for fans of the film, and Kincade in general:

 

Remember all those 'Skyfall' banners that spotlit the film's principal characters? Well it turns out there was one more that didn't end up getting used: Albert Finney as Kincade had his own poster, and here it is online at last.

We're assuming that this didn't get used because it was a little last-act spoilerific, but in any case it's good to see the gameskeeper get his day in poster form - and means that Finney has now been a pin-up for north of 50 years.

 

You can refresh your memory on the rest of those banners, featuring Daniel Craig, Naomie Harris, Javier Bardem and Bérénice Marlohe, below; in the meantime, Skyfall is available to pre-order now on DVD and Blu-ray, and will be in stores on February 18.

There were also 'unused' character posters for M and Q too.

 

Although not on Empire's round up.

 

Indeed, the ONLY character poster to get printed at all was Bond himself, so in actual fact, all of them were unused following that definition.  Of course, Bond, Silva and the girls were given banner status...

Good point!

 

I've seen the M and Q ones around the web but not Kincade, they kept his hidden away well, just like in the film!

Perhaps a better title would have been 'unused character poster', but its easier to say that after the fact I suppose.

 

Its a great pic of Finney IMO, he looks slimmer.

No need to be sorry. The only misleading part is the "Exclusive", as this is Empire's exclusive. The rest is exact what it says it is, a poster that was unused.

No need; it wasn't intentional, I know.

I suppose the casual fan of Bond wouldn't have got anything from a poster with Kincade though - The 4 big leads are obvious, and Q and M are understandable, but Kincade? I reckon he would have a lot of puzzled "Who's he?" from people seeing the poster around.

 

Probably might have started the "Is that Bond's father?" rumour!
