I'm going, but here in Canada, the midnight IMAX showing is at 0:07am. God, I hope we still get that poster. Now we know where they have been hiding the good ones.

That poster makes going damned tempting, though work on roughly three hours sleep could be challenging (like I'll get even that...usually seeing a new Bond film keeps the wheels spinning for hours afterward).

The fangirl in me says "Have a couple of mocha's before work and suck it up!" though common sense is telling me "Savor the moment and see Bond after a great meal, a couple of Vesper's, and in the company of good friends (that will double over with laughter if I suggest hitting a Stockton theater after midnight on a work night) like you have planned."

Have a feeling the final call will hinge on how implusive I feel that night (last minute ticket availability and how soundly my guy's sleeping if I decide to leave our bed for a few hours with Bond in the dea d of night).

Are there any midnight IMAX showings in the UK? I'm going to a midday one. Not quite the same effect...

Not sure, but I looked at the James Bond UK page on Facebook and there wasn't anything about the IMAX poster, looks like it's only the yanks that get a chance, us limeys will have to make do with tickets and popcorn.

Why is it that the latest in a series of films, based on an American book series that was only released in 2005 and the first film in the series was only released in 2008 has midnight IMAX showings in the UK (Twilight series) when the latest in a series of films based on a British book series that was first released in 1953 and the first film in the series was released in 1962 doesn't get midnight IMAX showings in the UK?

That poster looks like it is missing the logo and the credit block. Perhaps they will spring a theatrical poster on us later this week?

It's described as a limited edition print, rather than a poster. I think quite a few of us have just said that we wish it was a proper poster, but I think we've had our share for SKYFALL now, which is a shame.

Yeah probably. I was hoping it was maybe a variation on a soon to be released official poster, but without the copy.

We'll gladly trade you getting the film two weeks earlier for the midnight IMAX showings...
