I've just threw this together, Its a poster with lazenby in DAF - I really wanted him in DAF instead of Connery, which, IMO would have been a great dark thriller anyway here it is

(Feedback would be appreciated )

Awesome poster.

[Flash1087]

I dig it. The font you used for the film's title is actually kinda...creepy.

[DamnCoffee]

Is that a Good thing or Bad thing, Flash

[DanMan]

Very nicely done.

[wide of the mark]

If only EON would let a select number of serious Bond fans have access to all source materials and cuts, then allowed them to make a fans cut of sorts for limited edition release. DAF could be so much better by leaving Plenty's scenes in, alternate angles, alternate cuts. etc.

Imagine a more serious TMWTGG without the loop-de-loop sound effects/JW pepper. An AVTAK and DAD that deoesen't suck.
That would be the clesest to a Lazenby DAF as we could come to.

[Double-0-Seven]

Looks great! Keep up the good work.

[maxsterling]

You know, if George did DAF, It might have been a much better follow up to OHMSS. It would also have given Laz second chance to prove himself as Bond. Don't get me wrong; Diamonds are Forever is a good film, but it should have been a darker and more violent revenge story.

I really liked the girls face in the diamond pretty amazing!

Yes, those posters on 007 Art are some of the best online.

mharkin, the entire gallery of alternative art is quite cool. But give me a Sean Connery with a toupee over a Wooden Lazenby anyday.

agreed it would have done the franchise well as would a third Dalton movie

[DavidSomerset]

If George had done DAF, we would not be writing about Bond now. Bond would have died a quiet death at the hands of Wooden George.
Ditto with Dalton who was rejected by the general audience. We can write reams about how Dalton was the best Bond and all but it doesnt change the fact that he was no good at pulling the crowds in to see the movies. Their successors were much better BOX OFFICE pulls. That doesnt necessarily make them better Bonds but thats the way that the general public pays to see its movies.
QED:
.....Three years earlier, Mr Maidment had specifically highlighted Dalton's characterisation as a factor for the declining appeal of the films.

He wrote: "My confidential advice is that Licence to Kill has not performed as well 'relatively speaking' as the previous Bond pictures but this has been attributed to the characterisation of Timothy Dalton more than anything else."

Mr Maidment, who, during his time with Columbia, presided over hit films including A Man For All Seasons and Lawrence of Arabia, subsequently said that neither of the Dalton films was likely to make a profit - a state of affairs he suggested might prove fatal for the franchise.....Licence to Kill, which starred Dalton in June 1989, had failed to recoup its initial investment after seven years.

For the record I believe Daniel will make a kick Bond and CR will rule.

Well. I am convinced that if Lazenby had starred in DAF and the film had tanked, the Bond films would have continued nevertheless. Maybe with a longer hiatus. But the character in itself is a classic and will be revived again and again. The problem with this speculation is Lazenby itself. He said he only wanted to do one Bond film. If he had reconsidered and made friends with EON again, I do suspect that his portrayal of Bond would have been much more assured in DAF. Maybe that film

[DavidSomerset]

SAF, what you say about Dalton makes sense and even I believe the same too. If Timmy had loosened up a bit then he would have made 3 more movies for sure. You are spot on with the "did not really connect with the female leads" comment.
But even the the Great Cubby was pissed off with Wooden George after OHMSS after his antics after the shoot and during the premier. Let aside the matter that he didnt have any acting talent and it was Director Peter Hunt who really worked his magic and made the movie work. I am sure Peter Hunt must have been saying during the movie " Why God why? Why did Sean have to leave the series when I started directing it? Why do I have to direct this wooden cabinet?". Have you read John Glen's "For My Eyes Only"? He has some details of how Peter handled Wooden George...Oh, if only there ws Sean in OHMSS.

[SecretAgentFan]

[Mr.Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]

Actually, I like OHMSS a lot, I don't know why, but it has a certain feeling I can't describe, Lazenby is, well I still don't know what to think of him..., maybe he should have done one more (or two). And yes he's goodlooking but there's something about his chin I don't like!

http://007art.free.f.../goldalton2.htm

Hi my first post here, Ive been a member over at MI6 for some time but often have a look over here so thought I'd join.

As someone who's fav Bond film is OHMSS and think's GL was a very underated Bond and could have made more not unlike TD.

I've gotta say Andy A 007 those OHMSS posters and the GE one are superb, I paticulary like the first one very classy, top work, just a glimpse of what might have been, another entry with Savalas as Blofeld would have been great.

To have seen GL go out and get revenge after Hunt's superb predecessor would have been just a dream and PH back in the driving seat again, he did such a brilliant job with OHMSS and it was a crime he never directed another Bond and as yet to be surpassed in my book.

[erniecureo]

In case it hasn't been said before: Welcome, bond 16.05.72!

[00Twelve]

True, it is obvious when watching OHMSS that Laz was not a trained actor, but he still pulled off the job and his last moments were gold. If he'd gone on to do DAF, he would have been much more at ease and the tone of that one would have a)suited him a lot more than Connery, and b)been heavier, anyway, because of the possibility that the revenge story would have been played up. (But what if it hadn't been? What if the film kept the exact same tone with Laz in it? What if the revenge story had remained as weak as it is in reality? Laz might have been utterly ostracized by masses and fans alike, and Bond might have died for a while.)

I always wanted Lazenby to do more Bond films. It was a shame that he left after OHMSS because I felt that Connery, long before DAF had started to go through the motions.

Nice poster buddy! An interesting glimpse into what might have been!
Got an idea for you. How about a Goldeneye poster with Timothy Dalton's face on it?

Wow. Those three posters are fantastic. I have a friend who is a huge Dalton fan and was very disappointed by Pierce in GE. She'll love it!

[capungo]

Wow, nice stuff. Too bad the site looks kinda dead. Would've loved to see some Craig poster designs. At least the Dalton love is in full effect.

[RazorBlade]

I've just been watching OHMSS and view it with a renewed appreication. Then I saw LTK again. Didn't like it so much but love TD as Bond. These posters show what might have been.

[moorebond82]

I love seeing good fan posters and all of these are well done. Thanks for sharing.

[Hitokiri]

The posters of Dalton in GoldenEye are very well done. Good work!
