Now on the CBn main page...

Second teaser poster for the upcoming film

Posted Image
Buy online at moviemarket.co.uk


This has been highlighted as the latest Quad for QoS.

Anyone else seen it? Is it legit? It has been highlighted by a poster dealer so the references are ok.

Otherwise, in the trailer, he was wearing glasses, so something looks a little off with his face. What do you think.

(If legit, I also feel duty bound to own up to not believing they would use this image as the next poster)

It may be legit. I agree, the face looks iffy, seems like a big body and tiny head to me. Something looks off anyway. I'm not sure about the direction in which they're going; we've had a poster similar to this one with the teaser poster.

They're certainly flogging this 'Bond with sub machine gun' image, which also featured predominantly in with the recently released teaser trailer. I'd like something a bit different. Variety is always a good thing.

It looks as though the whiteness of the desert light does not have the same effect on his face as the rest of the surroundings.

In fact, I would have thought they could have played upon the white heat to greater effect to mask his face perhaps.

I get that they’re trying to evoke Bond’s emotions with these stark grey tones, but it just isn’t alluring on the eye. The CR posters at the end became infatuated with it as well. I can tolerate it with the QoS teaser poster, but the entire poster campaign best not be of the same template.

I am hoping for something similar to the CR teaser poster. Just something other than Bond, or his silhouette, standing with a sub machine gun.

Looks a bit fake to me, to be honest.

If they are going for that image, I would have preferred that they used the actual colours from the trailer and not gone all grey with it. :tup:

The blue sky looked great in the trailer.

Well, I'm not liking it. To me, it looks fan-made.

I'm sure it looks better in person though. Right?

I'm not liking it either. The image of Bond with that weapon is wearing thin, as it's been used as the first teaser poster and also prominently in the other marketing for the film.

Yeah, the blue sky and perhaps some artistry to actually hide his image more through desert heat haze.

His hand as well as face look weird, the shadow on the hand does not match that on his face.

I am reminded of DAD posters with wonky silencers and then the Speed take with short arms for both Brosnan and Berry...

Please don't remind me of the Brosnan/Berry poster. Shudder. :tup:

This image is being sold as a fridge magnet on ebay... but with the shades on.

I can't get over the hand... it looks all wrong. Perhaps they photoshopped it to show the watch....

The face looks too small to.

Yeah, I was just about to mention the watch too. It isn't shown on the trailer, just his sleeve.

Oh dear, obviously marketing and product placement deals are detailed down to the poster artwork. I daresay the Aston will make a return for the main design too.

It looks alright, if nothing special.

I dare say it's just the angle they've taken the photo of the poster at that's making it look a bit distorted.

Look at the digital picture at the start of the thread - that's not a photo of a poster (so no excuse for distortion).

Looks like a photo to me. It's just been cropped square.

Hmm... now that I look again I see what you mean. The hazing effect from the seven down could be a light reflection on the poster.

I guess I'll water down my scepticism a little now.

Completely unlegit.

Forget it.

The photo of Craig is proportionally all wrong (and in a bad photoshop way, not in any design or style way).

The font of the October date doesn't match the font of the title or indeed the font of the date on the teaser trailer.

Ignore it completely.

I don't know it looks the same font they are using under the logo on this webpage - http://www.007.com/widget/

The problem is when you play the end of the trailer through slowly Bond doesn't seem to be seen in exactly the stance used on this poster. Also why have they not just used that image from the end of the trailer, surely most people know it is Daniel Craig playing Bond so does removing his sunglasses really help identification??

Also his tie seems to be a lot lighter in colour in the trailer.
