I wonder if we'll get another poster or if this is it. 

 

It makes you wonder exactly who it is that's in charge of approving these things.  How one can let this many poor posters out into the open and still have a job is utterly amazing.

Like I've said several times earlier (lol  ) this is essentially it. Only posters we should expect now are the IMAX poster and any individual character posters.

If that's the case then EON has dropped the ball...again. 

 

It can't be this hard to craft a half-way decent movie poster.  It's like they used up every last bit of creative talent they had when they made the Casino Royale teaser poster and have just been putting out crap for the last nine years.

Anyone else think Connery would break whatever he's holding if he saw "Co-Producer Daniel Craig" ?

I'm sure he would.  Hopefully he doesn't see it, although I'm sure someone will inform him at some point.

No mention of Andrew Scott in the cast list on the poster. When SPECTRE was first announced last December, his was the name some of the media latched on to as the "big bad", based on his role in "Sherlock". Is his role in SPECTRE as big as we were led to believe?

Also; Daniel Craig as co-producer? More of an input in this movie than we thought? And "Jez Butterworth" Who he? ;-)

There's no sign of this poster on, say, Google Images yet. Are we certain this is the real deal?

It is, unfortunately. 

 

Just hoping that we'll get something else, be it character posters or an IMAX poster, in the hopes that EON finally stumbles onto some decent artwork.

The latest, though not necessarily the last?

The cast listings - Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris listed after the villain and leading lady suggests more prominent roles than in SF. Ralph Fiennes last - expected it, exactly the same as with Judi Dench. And I wasn't surprised at "with Monica Bellucci" - well known actress, key scenes but not in the whole film?

But again, surprised about Andrew Scott. Role not as big as we thought? Not enough room on the poster? Or some other reason? (Though admittedlt John Cleese in TWINE and Michael Madsen in DAD didn't figure on the posters either, and that fine award winning actor Rory Kinnear never has.)

As for the layout - hmmm! Is that a spectre of yourself on your shoulder, Mr Bond? ;-)

Why is this image not on the main page yet?

 

EDIT: That's better.

[antovolk]

It's the main/theatrical poster - the one that will be used on all the Blu-ray and DVD covers and up in cinemas everywhere. The ones that should come after that are the IMAX poster, and any individual character posters.

I would hope the wording on that page "The latest official poster from SPECTRE" suggests it's not the final poster.

 

With Skyfall, we had the gunbarrel teaser, 'lying down with credit block', and then 'standing like a bouncer against gunbarrel/London skyline, with credit block' along with the character posters.

 

The worst is yet to come, perhaps? But still one more main poster I think.

Remember that the lying down one with the credit block was the final US poster, it was released as a teaser poster without the credit block in the UK. The gunbarrel/London with credit block one was the final poster for non-US territories.

Given that this time round they don't seem to have different variants for different markets unlike Skyfall - using same posters, trailer etc worldwide, seems like this is indeed it.

I actually quite like the poster. Yes it's an easy cut and past Photoshop job but I find it to be simple, stylish, and classy. Less is more. Now I would love to see a full blown poster with numerous characters or a hand drawn illustration but I much prefer THIS compared to a typical Marvel one sheet.

Oh that's true.

 

Well, they've lost the plot then!

The IMAX poster is our last hope.....

Easy there. People have lives.

 

It now is.

[Simon]

If a poster has been released this early, or this far in advance of the release date, there will be a Main release poster, to be sure.

 

In other matters, people may be aware that I give very short shrift to many of the fan artworks that needlessly take up memory in the appropriate thread.  I would have normally associated this official output with much of that thread, which may ultimately mean I am hopelessly out of touch or have unreasonably high expectations from an outfit that is actually getting paid in fiat currency for their output.

 

If it is one of soon-to-be-many character posters, then fine.  But it doesn't inspire any excitement in me.  There are photographers out there that can create an atmospheric photograph with no manipulation whatsoever.  And then there are people that can accentuate and make wonderful, anything.  This is not that.  Or those.

 

There will be a final design poster but really, Empire Design are taking people for a ride with this sort of 'design'.

 

But, contrastingly, I will no doubt have to pick it up.  I am a slave to my interest.  Perhaps I should hand this opinion over to Jim to really do it justice.

You think? The final UK gunbarrel Skyfall poster was released on the 17th of September that year, so essentially just a couple of weeks later than this one in relation to the release date, and the final US poster (the lying down one) was late August. So I'm more inclined to believe this is the main release poster.

In some ways it is a typical did-a-fan-do-this photoshop job from EON. But the white dinner jacket takes it to another level, definitely.

[coco1997]

I don't think Connery gives much of a crap about the Bond franchise these days.

[Simon]

Of what, precisely?

[kneelbeforezod]

Not a very good poster, minimal effort put it, looks like fan art. Just like the Skyfall posters. I genuinely think that the budgets have been so big for the last two films that Sony are making cuts with the marketing. 

 

The writing credits are interesting: rumour has it Purvis & Wade and Jez Butterworth were brought in to salvage John Logan's script, and were writing right up to the start of shooting, possibly beyond. ALLEGEDLY. 

[Jim]

Hope a bit more effort's gone into the film.

[Simon]

Have said the same for some time.

 

My question is, How can a producer so renowned to be 'in to' his photography, 'ok' this sort of claptrap?  And even if he wasn't a photographer, to see his and their combined, and considerable efforts labelled in such a shoddy way... I dunno.

There are other good movies, even Skyfall I believe, who've also reworked the scripts during shooting so.....

Absolutely. I think there's every reason to believe they are very happy with the final script.

I really like this. Very stylish.
