On first glance I have to agree with Mr Wint. There's nothing in it - a symbol, a clue, linking the film to SPECTRE the crime syndicate. The image of Bond could have fitted into any previous Craig film.

[DamnCoffee]

Craig looks SO hot. God damn.

Is it Connery or McQueen, don't know?!

Just awesome!!

[The Dove]

Boy if this doesn't scream images of Bond in Live and Let Die..cool!! Still, I wasn't expecting too much as it's only a teaser and they're saving the good stuff for the final release poster no doubt..

He has hair again! It's much better than this: http://www.007.com/w...958-Skyfall.jpg

 

I know it was in the earlier poster, but I quite like how they're using the same font from QoS for "COMING SOON". Reminds me of Blood Stone's menus, if they weren't using Century Gothic, they had that QoS font for everything else.

True to Empire Design's form.

 

'Man in dead centre of poster' and erm, well that's it.

 

Preferred the abstract bullet hole octopus design.

[AgenttiNollaNollaSeitsemän]

I like the LALD vibe. Daniel looks great and definitely classically Bondian.

[Mr_Wint]

Hard to believe that slightly longer hair can make someone look 15 years younger. I am pretty sure they have done some PS on his face.

It is a nice pose, but underwhelming as a teaser poster IMO.

[Simon]

Yeah - in terms of the poll, there is really nothing to like or dislike, LALD vibe aside.

 

I 'popped by to say Hello.'

They did CR and QoS though.

[Vauxhall]

I don't dislike it. Not sure what else I'd prefer - perhaps keeping the smashed glass octopus in there somewhere. A 7, for me.

But there's not as much space around him like they usually have - in the upright format, that is (which is much better than the quad format).

Like it better on repeat views. Maybe a bit simplistic, biut our man looks extremely good. Notice that SPECTRE now goes with a little ™....

[Fairbanks]

He looks like he's about to inflate my couch. I like it. 

[Matt_13]

Dead simple, very clean, and a very nice LALD homage...it gets the job done. I'm actually surprised by how overt the reference is.

[Simon]

Yes, but if you look at the Empire Design site and all their more recent posters, the sheer number that are as per 'man in centre' pose, I do wonder where the 'design' comes in...

He does look better than the horrendous job they did on him for Skyfall though.  The shorn look (not the designers' fault admittedly) and the insecure pose they had him in.

 

Can I ask, are there two different designs of this poster then?  The white and grey backgrounds being alternate offerings?

Looks like it, they're both on the official site. But it's not white and grey background, its colour and b/w.

[Call Billy Bob]

Well, I go out to lunch and then come back to this! I gave it an 8 - it pushes my nostalgia buttons and is a damn cool pose for Craig. It's a bit plain, which keeps it from a 10, but no real complaints from me!

[Simon]

Ah!

 

(Am bloody hopeless!)

[Harmsway]

I like it. It's efficient and cool.

[Agent 76]

Simple, effective, stylish and cool.

 

Great poster

 

thumbs up!

[Dustin]

Solid. 

[The Shark]

A solid 7. Very McQueen in BULLITT/Rog in LALD.

Trailer confirmed for March 28.

Photoshop. It's still amazing what one can do with it these days.

Excellent!' Looks like our man, Marketto was spot on with his initial report!

Indeed! The talk of Craig doing a McQueen bio-pic has been floating around since shortly after CR. You can't deny it here or the LALD Roger reference (if it is a reference - aside for Bond fans). It works and once it circulates into a few theaters along with the impending teaser trailer, the fuse will be lit and burning hot.

 

When Craig finishes up his tenure, I'll bet that's when we get the McQueen BP. Last I glanced over at FB, that connection per this poster is getting some buzz in a few groups. I may need to get myself over to Sunset in Hollywood. It's way too early, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they got a billboard of this up for a short stint. 

 

I doubt it, but you never know...Besides, I'll be headed over to my usual source nearby to pick up my copy within the week anyway, so I'll just plan to cruise back along the strip.
