    You can see a more full view of the dark one on the right in the twitter version, it looks pretty good to me, if perhaps slightly generic. I've never seen that shot of Craig before though, looks very cool.



    I think the one at the rear is just a generic model rather than Craig?

    Wow! I like it. I still think Craig looks like Dalton. Just a more rugged version of Dalton.

    Here's a version with it straightened out a bit so you can get a bit more of an idea; still got a big reflection and arm across it though! :D

    Would love to see what else is in his other hand!

    Is that actually Craig in that image? It doesn’t look like him.

    I think it looks like him but you may be right, it's hard to be 100% sure.

    I think what gives it away that it may not be him is how his hair is sort combed over to the side as opposed to what Craig’s hair looked like in the final film, and even those early preview shots of him. I could be wrong though.

    I think Craig had a more traditional James Bond haircut in CR's promo pics, than the actual film.

    Maybe these are some sort of test posters with a generic-looking Bond, proposals what could be done, and he's chosing the style he likes the best. It looks an awful lot like this one:

    Yeh, agree. There were a number of different styles of poster like that at the time! And I do remember that story of Craig being involved in what was chosen!

    That's a very good point, and his nose does look a different shape there, maybe it isn't him.
    Did he use a PPK in CR? Oddly I can't remember him having one. Maybe in the PTS?

    Not in CR - that was the final film in which the P99 was used although the weapon would keep being used throughout the video games following.

    Yeah, PTS only.

    Yep, it's a great one. Maybe my favourite of the Craig era together with the turtleneck one for SP.

    Yeah. That SP teaser poster really got every Bond fan hyped.

    I do not remember that the above poster (Bond holding gun with silencer) was used in Germany, but I trust it's an official teaser poster. Instead we got this as the teaser. The style is similar (blurry light in the background, focus on the eyes):

    Most of the Casino Royale unused posters are in the book DK did for the 50th Anniversary:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/James-Bond-Years-Movie-Posters/dp/1405356804

    They are noted as being mock ups used for test audience / market research, but never ultimately used.

    Goodness me, so they are, completely forgot about that. These ones aren't there but they're variations on a theme.

    Yeah. I guess the silhouette thing with Craig's Bond, started taking shape in CR.

    Quick someone do something with this. Maybe give him the watch that I think he's supposed to be adjusting...

    Now, I love that picture, yes, I agree about the watch, but most of all, since we're at it, and they've given Bond a scar, why not give him a comma hair too like in the books?

    Since we're at the editing, why not make his hair like the literary Bond (sleek with comma hair falling down his forehead)?
