A bird watching manual.
The most distracting thing is how blurry his watch is. Omega must the thrilled!
I’ll try harder to like it.
That would be stellar as well.
I think it's done by Greg Williams, not Empire Design who usually does the posters. At least his own Instagram post (and story) seems to suggest this.
They really should post that teaser right now (within the next couple of hours)
Just a poster innit? Hardly the end of days.
At least everyone is talking about it. There's no marketing, like 'negative reactions to bad poster' marketing.
My neighbour would say: Just a Bond film innit? Hardly the end of days.
But then again, he is not a fan, is he?
And no, it's not the end of days. But it is their business, their work, their film. Are we saying they shouldn't care? Or that we shouldn't care? Aren't these Bond fandom forums? Aren't we supposed to care? Aren't they Bond producers? Aren't they supposed to care?
Forget about the end of days, I don't care about the end of days. I care about the new Bond flick ;)
eh eh.
Who’s the last person you met who did or didn’t go to a Bond film because they liked/disliked the poster? A lot of hot air out there at the moment. If you didn’t expect the poster to look something like this you’ve been asleep for the last decade.
If he falls through the bar in Cuba, he might have arrived in his tux, stayed a while then shit hits the fan at night.
Now this is what I call a poster =D>
Oh ok, I thought these were Bond fandom forums, made for Bond fans to discuss how they feel about Bond related things. Your thesis is that I shouldn't care and I shouldn't discuss anything I find to be underwhelming. Ok then... And by the way, I remain very positive about everything I've seen about the film. I am not and haven't been a negative nay-sayer. So why shouldn't I, and most of the internet fandom, btw, say that I/we don't find this poster to be top-notch?
You should, and it's your opinion. You have every right to it. I think what @RC7 is saying, is don't get too worked up over a teaser poster. Few of the previous posters have really had a wow factor. It's six months till NTTD is released, this is something to whet our appetites.
And don't worry, we all care or we wouldn't be here. And EON care or they wouldn't be making the 25th Bond film.
You cant please all of the people all of the time...
My thesis isn’t that you shouldn’t care, but that you shouldn’t be surprised. A lot of people are acting like this was unexpected. It follows the trend. It’s simply there to highlight the film. Title/007/Dinner suit. I made my peace with the minimalist approach years ago.
But again, I'm not "worked up" - again with this expression - nor is everyone who's disappointed. Frankly, I'm more anxious to see CJF's work through the teaser, whenever that comes. AND, I was one of the first to point out some of the positive stuff in that poster, mainly the colouring.
But saying these things, as some have already said, don't matter, is wrong. They do matter, we collect our posters, and our books about Bond art, and we follow these sort of things for years. And it creates iconography. That's what has supported the franchise. Saying a poster is just a poster and we shouldn't care because it's not the poster who makes the bucks from the tickets sales, is just ludicrous. This is all part of a mythical chunk of cinema History, and shouldn't be taken lightly or even be considered as only marketing.
But hey, that's just a fan's opinion.
I agree. The SP posters were quite bland as well but they did follow @RC7 's statement about patterns. However, for me, the issue isn't the approach, it's the execution. The poster for THE RHYTHM SECTION that I posted for comparison is equally minimalist but it blows the NTTD poster away.
I'll always be surprised by poor quality posters for big budget films. There is no excuse, imo - whether they are minimalist or not.
However, it's just a poster. And people are talking about it all the same. So I suppose.......job done?
Of course. Job's done. But we know there are two ways to go about a job. You do it and that's that. Or you do it with heart and verve. And we know how the end product ends up in both versions.
Don't worry, I absolutely agree.
Just taking a stab at the approach that other's have suggested.
I know, my friend, I know ;)
The smaller font used on the Brazillian poster looks much better!
Portuguese poster, if you may ;)
@marketto007 and I will later fight over this :)
