http://cgi.ebay.com/...item=1567019267 Wow ! Could this be the one-sheet by any chance ?...

[zencat]

Bingo!!!!

I think that could be the US one-sheet (I say this because of the MGM logo) and if it is it is AWESOME!!!!

(I'm sure not all will agree.)

[HUNTER C.]

I like THAT much better!

[Tim007]

Ok, that one looks better than the International one.

BTW, The French James Bond Club is saying that they had to remove the International One Sheet because EON asked them to do it. Another reason would be that it's still not the final version and there could be made minor changes to it.

I must say that if this is the official US one sheet than it is fantastic. It is by far the best one of the all the teasers thus far (although I do like the baretta teaser). I hope I can get my hands on one when it officially comes out.

[zencat]

I just noticed the MGM logo on the higher res version of what we've been calling the International teaser (and now it turns out to just be a concept art). If it were strickly International, it should have the Fox logo. You know... I don't know what is going to be the US and International one-sheet now, but I'm beginning to think they'll use the same poster for both (as they've done with the teasers). And this one on eBay could very well be it.

This poster is certainly more refined than the icey one. Not sure about the undone tie as I like the "well turned out at all times" look.

At the end of the day though, it is still just another character shot made up of photograph elements.

Still looking for the same level of inspiration that served Spiderman - not the same artwork though, obviously.

I'm with you on that regard, Simon. Still, at least he's in a tux. If this is the offical poster it will be the first time we've seen Bond in a tux on a U.S. poster since TLD.

[General Gogol]

That is a great looking poster, thanks for the intel and have a great day

[Evil Doctor Cheese]

I like them both... Frost seems a little more prominant on the ice one.

I tell you what I miss though in the more modern Bond posters... a damn tagline.

"Twice is the only way to live" "Look Up Look Down Look Out" "Space Belongs to 007" "Bond and Beyond"

They're all classics and a decent tagline wouldn't go amiss... when was the last time we got a tagline? Goldeneye (No Fears, No Subsistutes)? There wasn't one for TWINE and IMO the campaign suffers for it. The same here.

Maybe they removed the poster from the Fench James Bond Club because it wasn't finished... ie didn't have a tagline? I hope it gets one eventually. "Bond has never been cooler" is a cracker of a tag IMO and made up here on the boards.

Me too! We haven't had a tagline since GE and it doesn't look like we're going to get one on DAD. Why, I wonder?

[walther]

I love this poster! In fact, I bid on it! So, do we actually think that this is the US one sheet? Even if it isn't, it'd still be an intersting collecter's item.

[zencat]

If is isn't the poster then it will be a very interesting collectors item indeed!

[walther]

Well, then if nobody from CBN bids on it, wish me luck!

[PaulZ108]

Though the small placement of Pike is rather dissapointing, I like this one MUCH better than the supposed international one. It looks like it could use a little more to set it apart from the teasers, but I love it!

[Double-Oh-Zero]

Ah, this one's much better. I do like the other one, but this one goes much better with the other electric blue background posters. Bond with his tux and tie undone is perfect. Although I wish Berry wasn't so prominent all the time. Oh well. Still great poster.

[Blue Eyes]

Hell, it goes with the theme of the character series, but it's got the same stupid problem -> Too much bloody Halle.

Is this still a James Bond film?

I prefer the leaked International.

[WhiteKnight]

I think this one's pretty good
Too early to judge though, I'll need a clearer copy to see the background details and what's hiding in those blue lines...
I would look better with ONLY BOND in the middle in a classic pose dominating the poster showing that this is a BOND film not and BOND AND JINX film...

[Blue Eyes]

If it was a teaser poster I'd say great (but I'd want a dimmed Pierce and Halle like the rest of the cast). But as the final version? Please give us Rosamund!

[Mourning Becomes Electra]

Doesn't the description say it's a 13 by 19 in card promo given at a press meeting? And if according to the pull notice on the French James Bond Club site MGM is still putting the final detials on the poster and it hasn't been released yet how could this be a copy of it?

In addition to using Rosamund more prominantely, and getting away from the seeming buddy angle of Bond and Jinx (oh if that was a live photo she'd have to be standing on a box to even be seen behind his shoulder ) I'd like to see them to use shots of the Ice Palace. In fact having the Ice Palace and it's setting as the background with the other images overlaying it would be far more striking and give a better sense of the huge rather fantastical scope of the film.

[rafterman]

I like it!

[mkkbb]

I like this design, but I think it is only another promotion teaser poster. Pike doesn't feature on it at all does she? AND WHY IS HALLE BERRY FEATURING SO PROMINENTLY. I'm with you there Blue Eyes.

Also, the icey poster wasn't that bad, I really liked it.

I too miss the tag lines.

[Blue Eyes]

I'm glad someone else is with me in the Halle Berry issue.

[Colonel Moon]

There is to much Halle and where is Pike?

[Blue Eyes]

I'm glad that other people have the same gripe with the artwork.

It seems that the celebrities contracts are really getting in the way of a good poster here. Pierce Brosnan's name up the top looks rediculous. Everyone knows who Pierce is, is that little title there going to really help his career at all? And yes, that's a rhetorical question, because the answer is obviously no.

And an obviously minor 'billing' for Rosamund Pike on the poster does more damage to the amount of people it's going to visually attract.

These contractual agreements (x's head has to be x% larger then y's) really let down modern posters.

[brendan007]

its not just modern posters, on the DAF poster connery's head looks ridiculous for the same reason

[Sir James]

its ok, I am still not a fan of the dynamic duo concept. But it looks alfully familar to the poster for DAD on MI6. But they just said that that poster was not the final one, so maybe that goes for this. If it is another "teaser" poster then it will probably come out with the new trailer this friday.

[Darth Colossus]

It's all good...

[daman3755]

Blue Eyes and everyone else who is not happy with the prominence of Halle on the poster,

I can tell you why she is on there, and the reasons are just too stupid. Firstly is the contract, like it has already been said. Secondly, Halle is so damn known here in the U.S. people may want to see it. Look at the 2000 (or was it 2001?) summer blockbuster SWORDFISH. Halle had a huge spot on that poster and that film went on to gross a lot of money, near 150 mil I believe.

Though, if you ask me, I think we need to see some more Frost and Graves since they too are an integral role to the film's plot.

[C. Tounes]

I agree with MBE back there, the Ice Palace would be STUNNING in the background... I still think and hope this isn't the final poster as EON said they're making finishing touches still so I'm hoping for a far more perfectionate one sheet...
