The SKYFALL Teaser Poster Is Here!!
The Kidd here...
It's Bond, James Bond, plain and simple.
The teaser one sheet for this fall's next Bond installment SKYFALL premiered over at 007.com not too long ago, and, as you can tell, it's simple, elegant and just about all that's needed to sell a new Bond flick. Slap that 007 label on a poster and people know exactly what it means. Sure does look stylish and sleek though.

...and it cracks me up the way the troll fanboys still shit on it. Other than that horribly edited opening car chase, it plays very nicely as a spy thriller. If you felt it was too reliant on extending the story of "Casino Royale", or if you're not a fan Daniel Craig, then okay, whatever. That's a matter of taste. But to those pretending it's a self-evident fact that its a bad movie: really? "Quantum of Solace" is really quite good.
-
-just like the old intro, but farther- he has killed the person(s) who were aiming at him, and now is going deeper into the source.
-
But this poster is lacking and it may be just how it looks on my phone but he looks like a pixellated ape. <p> Oh for a drawn picture. All the rich posters from Bonds 40year history and weve come to this. Meh its only a poster and is just indicative of the movie period we live in. Why paint and draw inventive shit when we can just photoshop and get him to gurn?

This will be the cherry on my 2012 movie list. Can't wait!

And CASINO ROYALE was the best Bond movie since the '60s.

Yay, more Bond! Bond movies are like masturbation or pizza, even when it's bad it's still kinda good.

I'm still not sold on Craig as Bond. He's just not elegant enough. Dude looks like Gollum in the face. And Imelda May should do the next Bond theme, just sayin'.....

....they have James Bond written all over their music with a perfect female voice and modern electronic sounds. Probably one of the best band in the world.

I like Michael Fassbender in a lot of movies ... but he will not make a good Bond! He will be in the Moore/Brosnan mold ... too light! Craig = Connery ... plus we all know its not gonna happen!

Goldfrapp is both a brilliant and obvious choice for a Bond theme
by rev_skarekroe
That's why they'll never use them. Some of the younger alt-synth pop girls would be good too - Charli XCX, Bat For Lashes, Niki & The Dove, etc. But they'll probably just use Rhianna or Bono next time.

It's not too late. Brosnan deserved a better send of than Die Another Day.

I know a very big Bond fan myself who can't stand Craig as Bond because of the Sid James resemblence.
-
. . . if he had just shut his yapper and let Alicia Keys do all the vocals herself.
-
What a boring image.
-
Brosnan himself said he was done. Unless that was a terribly misguided negotiation maneuver he has only himself to blame for saying it, and EON was right to go another direction.

Anyone of us Takkbackers could have 'Shopped that image.
-
Are decent graphic designers really in that short supply in Hollywood these days.
-
Must be from dudes who are in the closet or guys who have serious issues with their own looks. Most chicks I know think Craig is their type of guy... Now maybe because he's such a bad ass. Women will look past guys not being "pretty" if they have the right attitude and maybe he does. He is great as Bond. Casino was awesome. Quantom is not as bad as people make it out to be. The plot was strong the direction was just off and too shaky.

If that cast/crew were announced with any other project people would be whispering 'oscar contender'. Craig is my favorite Bond. Not because he is *better* than Connery, he's so classic he really can't be touched. I think Craig has brought prestige to the series, he takes the role seriously, and he's believably capable and masculine/rugged and intelligent. But Craig is my favorite Bond for those reasons and because I get to see the movies brand new as they happen, which is exciting. I like Pierce Brosnan, hell I even like Roger Moore, but I don't like them as Bond. I don't like Bond-as-dandy. Nor do I like him as elegant and polished. He's not a debonair. He's a smart man with a working class edge who is certainly cultured and well travelled. He enjoys the finer things in life, but he's not John Steed, he's somebody who must blend in with, and who must MOVE amongst the world of diplomats and the debonair. That's the version I enjoy anyway. I realize everybody has *their* Bond, and much like Batman, I'm really glad we are getting this approach right now, and hopefully after that the pendulum swings back to the more decadent version of the character that other people hold dear.

What a fucking amazing year for movies! Can anyone think of a better film year, in recent memory? I think you need to go back to '77. Or, at the very least, '82.

Does this poster portend that Craig has finally earned the fucking classic gun barrel opener? It is really nonsense that EON hasn't been including it, and sticking it at the end doesn't fucking count.

Nice poster for sure but I think it would work better if Bond were a few paces back standing dead centre of the white circle and not stood so forward.
by jellypop

Then Quantum of Shite, cant believe DC was in the best Bond movie and followed it with the worst ever made. Really hope Skyfall hits the height of CR. Cool poster though
-
Am I crazy to think that a new Bond film set in the late 60's and shot completely in black and white would be freaking awesome?
-
Haters - stand down! And all of you dudes complaining that Craig is not good-looking enough- what are you, girls? A bunch of women I know think he looks just fine, so move on, fellas. You're making yourselves look silly.
-
goddamn it I love me some Bond ... The only thing I never liked about Bond was the fact that he never "aged" during the decades ... it always gives the logical side of my brain a headache ... I remember reading a looong time ago how in the next Bond film (maybe Goldeneye?) they were going to reveal that James Bond was a codename and that many 00 section agents had been JB and that at some point they'd have them all together in the film ... I always thought that would have been kind of cool ...
-
Saw the previous Bond movie, Quantum of whatever... boring as hell, was all over all the place. Don't really care for these movies anymore, they're not original, nor are they very fun to watch.
-
He looks just too average. Bond is supposed to be a charming guy, not just a super spy. Craig is not charming, he looks more like a bodyguard. That "surprise" casting worked back in 2005 by the 2nd film, and in the future, the 3rd film, the edge of that surprise will have worn off.
-
That poster says it all.
-
They maybe using that theory in the new Bond video game 007 Legends as it will be based around all the Bond films. However the theory of him being more than one guy has some holes in it. Roger Moore's James Bond visiting the grave of the murdered wife of George Lazenby's Bond. The opening sequence of GoldenEye, starring Pierce Brosnan, takes place in 1986 which is a year before Timothy Dalton's The Living Daylights and three years before 1989's License to Kill.

I hope this means they're putting the gunbarrel back at the start where it belongs
by Koborover
I just love it when the screen's all black and the white dot appears with the epic music. I really missed that in the previous two movies, no matter what the idea behind the change was (he's not fully Bond yet etc).
-
I don't get some of the hatred for Craig, outside of people have shitty taste, but I don't give a fuck, as long as the producers love Craig, I'll be getting me some more of my favorite Bond for at least another movie or two. BRING IT!!!

If this film isn't at least as good as Casino Royale. They need to drive up to Christopher Nolan's house with a dump truck of money. If not him, Mathew Vaughn.

Look at any Bond poster from the 60's through the mid-80's, and you have these thrillingly-rendered posters with a collage of exciting action imagery, and now all we have is a boring, Photoshopped picture of Daniel Craig walking towards the camera. When I was a kid, posters were a big part of the overall enterainment "package" of a movie, now I wonder why studios even bother making them, as they obviously don't give a shit. Aside from letting people know that Bond is back, this poster tells us NOTHING about the film.

Turns out this isn't the first poster to put Bond in the gun barrel
by Jaster Mareel
I'm as surprised as you are: http://www.bondposters.com/The_Living_Daylights_1987.php I was intrigued by nasty in the pastys point about the =adventure collage= style of old Bond posters so I looked them up. I'm not sure where this style originated from, but it was very popular in the 70's in particular. Remember the Star Wars poster was like this. I know Frank Frazetta had a hand in the triangle style, but having other scenes floating around the edges...I don't know where the fuck that came from. Anyway, the first Bond posters for DR. No, Goldfinger, etc., were pretty boring. It wasn't until On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969 that this adventure style came into being. Then through the mid-80's until Roger Moore threw in the toupe. Once they started up again with Dalton, as you can see, they kept the design very simple. And it's pretty much stayed that way, for all films, since then.
-
...this is easily the shittiest Bond poster I've ever seen. What utter, complete, photoshop crap. Looks like a teenager designed it. FYI, Best Bonds in order of greatness: Craig Connery Lazenby Dalton Brosnan Moore Top five Bond flicks in order of greatness: CASINO ROYALE ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE THUNDERBALL FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE You're welcome.
-
Like a cross between Jason Bourne and a Ferrero Roche advert. Just amazed that anyone thinks that was a good film or that Daniel Craig is in any way suitable to play James Bond. The best Bond film is OHMSS. Craig is sort of doing what Timothy Dalton did except that Dalton LOOKED (you know, tall, handsome, dark looks, etc) like James Bond whereas Craig looks more like Marty Feldman. For God's sake let's get this ridiculous and eccentric Bond era over with and try again with a new actor and (hopefully) some better scripts and a bit less po-faced dreariness. Oh, and the poster is awful. It makes Craig look like Hitler walking through a sewer.
-
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT POSTER MEANS SO I SAY IT SUCKS AND THE MOVIE WILL SUCKK UHR UHR UHR! i AM SO SMARTER THAN THE PPL WO MAKE MOVIES UHRRRRRHHHH (DROOLING AND FOAMING AT THE MONTH, WANKING TO ROBERTY DOWNEY SHINY ARMOR BECAUSE IT GIVES ME A HARD ON)

I'm all for Fass bender as Bond. Danny Boy looks like a fricken Chimp.
by Stalkeye
Good actor, but he's nowhere as suave as Connery, Moore or even Bronsnan. However, he would make for an awesome (generic) mercenary character. Something almost akin to Leeson's Taken.
-
May 18, 2012, 4:19 p.m. CST
Sorry, but I'm with the Alfred E. Neuman crowd. First thing I thought when I saw the poster ...
by Vince Ricardo
... his head/body just look totally out of proportion there. I don't hate Craig as Bond ('cept for the blonde hair), he does play it as badass as Bond is SUPPOSED to be (as Connery and Dalton played him) in the novels, but that poster just doesn't do him any favors.
