Visit Britain and live like Bond? That's a joke.

The photo of Craig looks better in black and white than in the colour poster.

Interesting to see their Skyfall tie-in:

They keep pumping out some pretty good posters and banners aren't they, minus the last 2 official SF posters but even then, it was more then I was expecting which was nothing but the official poster after the teaser.

Flickr user Mr Atrocity has some behind the scene snaps from some of the shooting locations in Turkey spread across a few pages. Nothing groundbreaking but it's something.

Well done Daniel: you've found an orange woman pillow and a wrong-hand drive DB6. At least it's silver I suppose.

That's weird. I wonder if they've mirrored the photo for some reason. The DB5 in the film is definitely right-hand drive. Alternatively I guess they could have dug out the left-hand drive Aston from CASINO ROYALE for a few publicity stills.

No arguments over the pillow though. Awful.

Oh dear me...oh well, it's only a magazine. Have to say, Vanity Fair and Esquire haven't done well capturing decent shots of Craig, they could have done better IMO.

Thanks for the post indy_chic! :)

It's not a DB5; it's a DB6- you can tell by the shape of the rear windows. Vanity Fair have just borrowed someone's close-enough Aston for the photoshoot.

Apologies. My mistake. They haven't chosen a particularly photogenic backdrop either.

Isn't it odd that they've gone to the trouble of adding a shadow on the roof?
It's as if it is intended to look like Bond finding a giant watch on a rooftop in Whitehall.

In Photoshop it's not that hard at all. That said, it is weird.

And he looks sort of disappointed by the giant watch. Like he's been told there's a watch for him on the roof, bounded up there with childish glee, and discovered it's far too big to wear leading him to ignore it with a dejected stare into the middle distance.
Poor James Bond.

Well I guess it would look weird if looked like it was just cut out and pasted like a photo album.

And Sharky, I don't know if you haven't seen the clip in the last couple days but if you think he's happy there, wait till you give him a cupcake.

But there are other ways of using that photo and the watch.
It’s as if they want to inspire “Man finds giant watch on London rooftop” jokes.

Don't get me wrong. It's obtuse. Their main mistake was using that photo at all. Can't even see the watch on him in that photo and we already have several photos where he is clearly wearing one!
