Precisely! Or this:

Still, good show. The only thing that keeps bugging me is the tintin hair:

Awful call IMO. But let´s not go that hairy road again, please ;) Still, on the hair department, I think they were trying to hard to emulate this:

Another great shot of Bogart. I believe you're right about them trying to emulate the Connery look. Couldn't stop laughing about the Tintin part :)

A good shot none the less.

Bogart´s the man.

Seriously, even SNL can make Dan look really cool. Why can´t Sony?

Just saying, the posters and Bond´s grooming choices have been the one underwhelming thing. Everything else is just perfect.

I agree, that image of Craig is very cool. Well done indeed.

As for Sony, it's been underwhelming with their choices of stills to use for posters and such. Such as the Bond "Prom Night" Pose on the UK One Sheet.

I agree. Let´s hope there is still one ace up their sleeve ;)

Well, tomorrow would be just fine by me ;) I wish. Wednesdays have always been possible surprise days during the production. Maybe we´ll get something? Or possibly before the end of the week?

He looks awkward in this,He looks awkward in all the Skyfall pictures so far

The Costume designer Jany Temime should be banned from the Bond set after this
They should return to Louise Frogely (Quantum Of Solace),She makes the suits look so sharp on Craig

Posted Image

Or They should return to Lindy Hemming (Casino Royale),The Dark Knight Rises

I don't know, I like a lot of what he's wearing in Skyfall, the only slight annoyance (and it's petty) I have is the dinner jacket lapels, I much prefer the sharper traditional peak lapels to the rounded shawl lapel he's got here.

I actually like the round ones. They´re more 60´s. Give me a Connery vibe of some sorts. Nothing wrong with the suits for SF IMO. It´s the bloody hair...

Failing to see the awkward here. I'd feel awkward facing him down, might pee myself, that's about all the awkward I can muster from this.

Eminating a cold-hearted secret agent who would kill in a heartbeat. Looks alright to me....one of the better shots of Craig in the recent marketing run.

The only thing bothering me here, is how bad his trousers look. Not the actual trousers, but it looks like it's been really roughly edited on Microsoft Paint.

I guess I am alone in the Jany Temime Hate. I absolutely hate almost everything he wears for Skyfall ,Lindy Hemming and Lousie Frogely were the best IMO

Besides seeing several posters in the theater, I haven't seen any around town and the city. Hell I've only seen one trailer attached to a film. Sony needs to kick up the marketing in the US big time.

Really? Every time I have seen a Bond film in theaters (the last six films, btw) the theaters were packed. Bond does gigantic business over here. To say that US theater goers are not into Bond is a hugely erroneous statement.

The same is true just to the north of you. I went to a midnight screening of QoS on its release and it was packed. Even a re-release of FRWL that I went to 3 or 4 years ago at a small cinema was packed!

Its Obvious when I said "not that into Bond" It Doesent mean completely against Bond , One theater which you went to in US does not represent the whole of US
The Box Office No.s speak for itslelf
Take Quantum Of Solace For Ex: It made 168.4 mil in the US and 417.7 mil in foreign teritorries
In the same year take Iron Man which made 318.4 mil just in the US,eventhough its total gross is lesser than QOS
Or take wall E which made lesser than QOS again as a whole but in US its numbers are 223.8mil

Now take Casino Royale it made 167.4mil in the US
In the same year Night of the museum which made lesser than CR as a whole made 250.9mil in the US
or you can take Cars as an example which again made lesser than CR in Total made 244.1mil in the US

and so on...

It is also worth noting that CR if I recall was the number one selling Blu-Ray for a substantial amount of time. I can't recall QoS position, though I can't speak for all Americans, we do love our home entertainment and are finding it harder to spend more at the theaters. Night at the Museum and Cars by the way are kids movies. As a demographic, a family of four is of course going to outweigh an 18+ year old male and the comparison isn't apt.

Casino Royale If I remmeber correctly was among the first lot of Blu-Rays and the first one to get an HD trailer.So naturaly.
and also X-Men the Last stand and Superman Returns of the same year both are PG13 movies like Casino Royale and still earned more than CR in the US but less than CR in total
