...assuming you're still in the mainland, my friend.
What did you think of the poster? And have you heard anything about the teaser trailer?
In terms of facial expression it's hardly in the same league as Dalton's very first teaser poster:
Bond is meant to look dangerous or serious. Craig's look doesn't embody any of that vibe. Anyway, on the plus side the official film poster can't look any worse! That's one way to stay positive.
Yep, still here. I'm doing my Masters in Cinema, so at least for the next two years I'm in your extremely beautiful and welcoming country. :)
About the poster, I'm with the gang, totally disapointed. I was hoping for something with a little bit of inspiration, and not a still from the movie with the logo over it.
Well, Universal Brazil told me yesterday that the announcement of the Brazilian title would come with the Poster and Trailer. So...we only got the Poster.
Yep, my feelings exactly, my friend.
I still love it! And think it looks even better in this print :) It’s a shame not a lot of you like but like many have mentioned it has no effect on the film, and I’m sure they’ll be releasing more posters between now and the films release :) A shame but least we have our first look at what seems like a still from the movie, which is more than we yesterday! :D
Can't anyone take a good flattering pic of the man?
That blue shade of the wall, though, love it.
Fukunaga then said "right, that will do as the poster. I'm off to play more Call of Duty!"

Overall, they could’ve done leagues better with a poster than this lazy effort we have right here.
I do too.
But then I thought, what message are they trying to convey with this poster? The chipped wall and weathered Craig. The use of the raw, undoctored photo. The growly pissed off look on Daniel's face. The use of saturated colors and let's not forget that big retro bold font.
I think they're trying to hint at something a little more on the edgier side of things...in terms of style and story. Perhaps a "return to pre-SF" isn't the right phrase, but you get the idea. I like the bold choices, clearly stating that they're doing something different. And perhaps that's the message they're trying to send.
My two cents.
"Craig smells a rat"? :-D
Wouldn't surprise me. They've already started using the typography for marketing purposes too. Someone posted the typography mounted to a board in the production thread.
Any word on the Quad version?
Exactly. It’s striking, so why not?
I'm very curious as to what message they try to send. We do have some insight into the title logo though. The guy who did the NTTD title logo posted this on Instagram:
Don't know if there's much to be read from this, but I wonder if keywords like nostalgic and throwback might be an indication of what kind of film we're getting.
Indeed it is! It will be interesting to see how they incorporate the typography with the marketing.
The black and white edit makes it look a lot better though to be fair. Has a much more grainy and old school feel to it, goes well with the font. But as it stands, yeah. Not good imo.
No problem, @JamesStock! It's interesting finding these little pieces of information about the creative process – no matter how small they are.
I don’t think he’s even posing for the photo though: it appears to be a still from the filming. The photo is ordinary, just lit by ambient light.
As a designer this has the whiff of the client seeing an image they like and getting fixated on it, saying ‘that’s the poster right there; just put a title on it’ leaving the designer nowhere to go. It’s just... not a poster. It looks more like an editorial page from a film magazine.
I'm a designer as well, and I agree - it does look a bit like an editorial piece with the typography and logos added. Nobody would have reacted negatively if this was just a part of a magazine spread.
Yeah it’d be quite a nice page. But it’s not a poster. At best it’s a lobby card (remember them?)! :)

Yes! It could be an OK lobby card - I think I have a few CR ones in a box, and if I remember correctly, there were a few of them that weren't really that interesting (much like this poster).
