Marketto! your posters were THE BEST. They are the ones that need to be on display in the cinemas :)

Yeah...it's alright. But strikes me that all promo material is now just shots taken in a professional photo shoot that they've had in stock and spent a few months seeing which pose works better., as we've had the same image of Craig used for the character posters also.. it's just a bit too similar.


This could be the true reason why it took so long between QoS and SF...they just couldn't create the right teaser poster ;)

Welcome to the CBn madness silva! We look foward to seeing what havoc your make in London and against 007 in a few weeks! ;)
Thanks for that pic - for a second I thought it was the soundtrack album cover!

And Marketto, that second poster ^^ is immense! That picture is one of the best from Craig yet, very lethal and brooding and that should have been used! Where did you get that image from? It's ace.

*slap* Well they should have taken a bit longer to make them, or use that image of Craig Marketto has! ;)

Ha! Yes Marketto should be making the teaser posters from now on :)


It was lovely to spot Mister Bond at the newsagency yesterday...he is FINALLY starting to appear on magazine covers here in Australia. This is Empire Australia's 007 cover - the cover opens and folds out into the other Bonds well.

I wish they'd hired Drew Struzan to create a 50th anniversary poster. Something painted compared to these Photoshop creations.

YES!

Yes, his hair is particularly 80s bouffant there, even by his standard.
Interesting how he clung to the voluminous Dynasty blow wave into the late 90s.

Then again Craig's hair is so short it's almost non-existent.

It baffles me why they don't insist it being longer when playing Bond. Unless they just want him to look different to the other actors who have played him?

Remember when Roger’s hair would change colour and texture from scene to scene? – I loved it when it would turn auburn in bright light or suddenly look like very dry straw.
And all this was achieved in the days before CGI – fascinating and action packed.

I think Craig's hair in 'Casino Royale' was smart.

As for Brosnan, his hair got bigger and slicker film by film until the bouffant of 'Die Another Day' took a supporting role.

I forsee a new thread - "Which Bond Had The Best Hair?" :)

I think he looks good. The Quantum look doesn't really work for him.

And that's not counting the moments when it transforms into an orange afro!

A 'which Bond has the best hair' thread would be quite entertaining. Although if that's created, the 'Bond chest hair' thread may arise...

Flippin' heck indy_chic - you get 6 fold out covers! They look immense...


I know! They've pretty much gone crazy with all those fold out covers!

Because they're trying to compensate for Craig's ageing? That's one possible reason why he looks so mannequin-like in most of these posters and prom shots.

Maybe they've been restored by Lowry Digital?
