    Sarcasm.

    Honesty :-)
    After seeing that poster I thought the forum would go berserk of excitement over its fabulousness...just goes to show you never know ;)

    The poster is bloody fantastic, lightyears better than anything we got so far in the Craig-era.
    They finally got their act together and have a decent campaign.

    The poster is only one more thing that suggests the movie is an homage to the 60's James Bond movies, this was worked out in great detail, Tom Ford as clothes designer (another stroke of genius), the OHMSS theme in the trailer, some still photographs of Spectre could be taken out of Caprice or North By Northwest (59) or other 60's cult classics.

    The background colour with the haunting skull image is brilliant as a contrast to James Bond in the white tux striking a pose that says, hey look at me, I'm the Connery of my generation!
    While simplistic it gets the message across within a second. Furthermore this poster is a true eye-catcher! It will stick out everywhere it gets shown.

    For the first time in the Craig era, I have the feeling they finally know what they're doing and maybe Spectre will be that truly great film that can actually be compared to the Connery movies and even surpass them.

    I actually love the new poster too. But then again, people out here call genuine opinions flawed cases of sarcasm. Which is a bit sad really :-(.

    What I find genuinely sad is people who just lap up anything that's put in front of them because it's Bond related. If people like this poster that's their prerogative, but for the vast majority I think this is another case of a missed opportunity. Three years wait for something cobbled together in
    10 mins. Simply not good enough.

    That's your opinon @RC7! Have some bloody respect for other's people's opinion too ok?

    Really, we are all Bond fans. But as there are 24 (26) Bond films, you can't expect the entire global fan community to be a Soviet Politburo for God sake :-). Have respect for other people's opinions, because never 100% of the fans agree with you. And by now.....we DO know that you firmly dislike the poster.

    Yes, it is my opinion. Hence why I typed it and posted it.

    Sometimes, dear @RC7, you just can't say "Yeah, you're right" no? In all honesty, I have been rightfully accused of that several times in here. But from your side, there's simply no self-critical modestness present no?

    Perhaps you shouldn't let yourself get too emotional about these things. It's a discussion forum and I tend to believe what I say, otherwise I wouldn't bother saying it.

    In this particular case I'm by far emotional. Anyway, don't bother :-).

    Thanks. Do I have your permission to continue voicing my opinion?

    Just want to cast a vote in favor of the poster. Very theatrical, eye-catching, simple, Bondian with echoes of the past that are still relevant to the actual plot of SP, not just homages thrown in to look classic. Obviously some will say it is too simple, too Photoshopped, fan-made (not a put down imho) Can't please everyone.
    I wasn't expecting art, just something effective and marketable. I guarentee people will see this in theaters and know instantly exactly what it is advertising. That is its main job and to me it succeeds.

    That has nothing to do with this, definitely speaking for myself, and I believe also for the other fans on here.

    And if it was to be true that whoever responsible in fact "cobbled" this together in "10 minutes", I honestly don't care. I am not interested in "professional demonstrations" fo photo techniques that don't interest me, I am far more concerned about the actual result. And that satisfies me a lot! This poster is elegant, classy and bang on the money as far as I am concerned. I don't care if the guy(s) responsible didn't demonstrate unusual technical skills, or whatever. I really couldn't care less about that... ;)

    There's a lot of 'not caring' in that statement, for someone who clearly cares enough to let everyone know how much they don't care.

    Honestly, unlike some others, I do care. Hence why I'm peeved by the final result. If people like it, cool, but in all honesty I don't believe for one minute that the majority think this is the best that they could have achieved. Not even close. I don't want for much and I'll wait as long as they want to make me for trailers, posters etc, but it gets me down when the finished article is undercooked. One poster, they just had to nail one poster. Unlike those who want montage posters, I'm happy with a minimalist look, but this is lacking any coherent concept. It's just a bland, generic image with no panache, no innovation and no thought behind it. Remember when this was released...

    spectre-poster-fb.jpg

    We all lost our shit and rightly so. There's an idea behind it and it's visually intriguing. This new poster just doesn't do that. As for those giving it a pass because it's 'fine for marketing purposes', we're supposed to be Bond fans, not money men, where's the thirst for some genuinely original and classic Bond art?

    I think back to the British DAD poster with the breaking ice and various pictures in the ice. It screamed OTT and the film reflected it. I guess a final poster for the Craig era doesn't go that route because they aren't OTT films. We hardly see movie posters anymore that are extremely busy such as all of the final Bond posters leading up to CR.

    I have a question. Since this doesn't mention the title artist (too early obviously) or Andrew Scott (I know he has a decent-sized roll) is it possible it is a character one sheet? But that wouldn't make any more sense either.

    Nope. Odd they excluded Scott, and Christensen, in the credits block.

    As for title artist - don't think either of the Skyfall final posters had it either.

    Just have a look at the "DAD" poster and compare it with the new "SPECTRE" poster. I know which I like:

    Well, I know which one is my favorite of these two :-O.

    Totally forgot about Christensen! I agree it's odd. Hopefully, their roles are still of the same significance.

    I wonder if previous Bind posters have ever left out acting credits for roles of their supposed size.

    Easy choice for sure. There is a time for everything and once that time is over, it won't work anymore.

    True, for me this just fits the current era best. But as is the case in many movie posters, some want it one way, others a different one, and no marketing team can do both. I'm happy.

    I think it may be just that they couldn't fit everyone into the billing block. Just a spacing issue as opposed to a significance issue.

    I wonder if previous Bind posters have ever left out acting credits for roles of their supposed size.

    I think it may be just that they couldn't fit everyone into the billing block. Just a spacing issue as opposed to a significance issue.

    That could be as well. Guess I just assumed everyone automatically gets billing. Thanks.

    Easy choice for sure. There is a time for everything and once that time is over, it won't work anymore.

    This whole argument is a straw man. This isn't a case of DAD vs. SP, neither is it a case of painterly vs. digital or montage vs. minimal. It's a case of good vs. bad. I'm personally happy for minimalist posters. The SF and SP posters, however, look cheap and lack the requisite class. They also have no solid idea behind them or any panache in the way they're composed or any richness or distinctiveness in the colour palettes. There are plenty of great minimalist posters out there, but I fail to see how this is one of them.

    See above.

    Comparing everything to DAD, as is your hobby, is essentially presenting a world's tallest dwarf competition. Perhaps judge the individual pieces on their own merits.

    In other news, I've just learned that the film is done, and a rough cut was screened to a selected Sony International team in London this week.
    Any chance we'll be hearing their thoughts?

    Precisely. Craig's credit is the real news.

    As associate producer credit is usually a joke, even when it is a star involved, what they gave Connery on RISING SUN and Sigourney on RESURRECTION. So it is no news at all really, and a godawful lousy poster (par for the century.) [/quote]

    Well as Craig is Co-producer and funnily enough in case you missed this tidbit of information, this isn't rising sun or alien resurrection, its laughable you're even drawing comparisons to a Bond movie. Believe it or not this actually is significant news. If you can point out to me the last time EoN gave co-producer credit to their leading actor then I'm happy to be proven wrong.

    If you can show me some instances where a co-producer/associate producer was a significant creative part of the process on a major film (as opposed to just being an assistant line producer or, more likely, somebody's agent or an early writer on the project, I'll defer to your knowledge in this matter. Jon Povill on the first trek movie is the only one I'm aware of.

    I don't understand your perception regarding the films I cited either. In both cases, they were clearly courting their star (Crichton had written the novel with Connery in mind, and alien4 couldn't even get greenlit w/o Weaver), so I don't see this as different at all. Perhaps what's laughable is your attempting to distance this from those off-the-top-of-my-head examples.

    The producers guild has made some strides on film credits, but they need to do more to hone it. The only producer credits I'm inclined to take at face value currently are the ones with PGA included on the titles, but it is early days with this I guess.
