  • Anders Frejdh of "From Sweden with Love" (great name) just posted the teaser poster and said in the caption that the first teaser is about to drop very soon. I have no idea if he means soon as in later today or soon as in within a few days, but Anders is known for only posting 100% reliable content.

    Ohhhh, I bet it's coming. Within the next two hours would be a good bet, wouldn't it? :)

    Eon do tend to play it safe in the marketing. They simply want people to know that the new Bond film is coming and Daniel Craig is back. Clearly they believe that is the biggest 'sell' the film has. So they are emphasising that above all else.

    They are kept it dramatically simple. Too simple. The poster neutralises any debate by simply being so unimaginative that it generate no conversation.

    I think the edit done by @antovolk on Twitter is an improvement. But frankly, they could have done something a little more worthwhile than this. It's also a missed opportunity to to play into the 'time' angle.


    The best part of the poster is the pastel blue wall, something directly from the style and architecture of the Caribbean.

    I have fond memories of this teaser poster:

    aaaf57fb75446f20ff5aab3505d54010.jpg

    It really got me looking forward to GE like a fanboy gone berserk.

    Then this one:

    james-bond-007-casino-royale-teaser-i1296.jpg

    These two are my go-to references for awesome Bond posters. I guess everything that came after those two let me down a bit.

    And we've lost the tag lines, haven't we? How can't one support the thesis that they/we 've all lost our imaginative verve? Mankind's passing through some really dry ages in that department. IMO, of course.

    Thinking about it, all they needed to do to make more people happy imo, would be to up the contrast and scale the title down.

    Oh, they'd need to do much more than that, old friend ;)

    The title is alright, a few notches smaller is all that takes. The image however, is too flat. Enhance the contrast to Craig's face and body slightly to make him stand out more, and you have a better poster, IMO.

    So, it's getting a bit late on the day to get the teaser, right? What do you guys think. A no show today?

    Yep, safe to say this now, no trailer today. Even though in their own media there are tons and tons of people clamouring for it. Really, just read them. It's like "poster meh, give us the trailer...blah blah". But nop, looks like we won't get a trailer today.

    Best news of the day, for me that is, was about the AM Superleggera being in the film in some capacity. And today's colour is definitely petrol-blue ;) Other than that, we got an awfully amateuristic teaser poster that almost no one really liked and... that's it folks.

    Fingers crossed for next week ;)

  • They call that a poster? It looks like a still with the title superimposed. Lame!

    Not just me, though. Planning on doing a global comment?

    PS: Love Dame Smith, btw, well done ;)

    Not a particularly great poster, but I figured it wouldn’t be anything too exciting. I still like that it’s Craig in the classic tux!

    Before the cut on his lip and cuts on his face. And I too love that tux.

    Take this with a grain of salt, but someone I work with on a film website is convinced we'll get the NTTD teaser tomorrow. Stranger things have happened, but I'm not sure of this myself...

    Would be quite the eventful weekend if it happens!

    I didn't have high hopes for a teaser or anything but that poster leaves a lot to be desired. I like the contrast of the colour of the wall to Daniel's eyes and the fact he's back in a tux but the poster itself is just a bit bland.
    A few members on here have come up with much better, @AgentJamesBond007 @Denbigh @NS_writings come to mind

    I just hope that our patience will not be in vain, because the majority of us have been patient. I hope a teaser is at least on it's way, I trust all the great sources we have here (I feel bad for them to be honest because they're always great and don't have to tell us anything) and I'm sure their sources have been misinformed perhaps.

    Could the teaser have been delayed? Reason I ask is because there have been a lot of different very reliable people putting their necks out for us to say it's coming soon and then it hasn't arrived. Could it have been delayed to add more Matera scenes?

    Aw thank you @Jordo007, appreciate it, as much as I am a fan of the poster personally, although it could be tweaked a little. If I can get my hands on a textless one, I’ll have a go :) Still waiting for a call from Barbs to be asked to make the main poster haha ;)

    And I’m so sad we disagree for once @Univex, but you’ll always be my bro :)

    Looking at the foreign posters, it's safe to say that with a smaller logo it looks a little bit better. But it feels rushed. Where's that intimidating look of Craig's Bond? Or at least the confident look of the Brosnan days? Bond looks like having just spotted a paparazzi around.

    Could I be the only one who actually likes the teaser poster? I mean it’s not that great, but best one since cr certainly.

    It’s not as bad as some people say IMO, but not great either. The CR teaser poster was the best, and I also liked the QOS and SF ones pretty well. I would put the NTTD above the one with Craig’s SP one, which was hurt a lot by the background.

    I really like it @Ottofuse8. It has its problems, but I do think Skyfall has been the best teaser poster imo but I understand why people prefer CR :)
  • edited October 2019 Posts: 832
    I probably like it because it’s a bit less minimalistic that recent posters. Think the sf one is overrated and hated the qos one. I also like the tux and the blue wall. But yea it’s not that great either.

    I do too. I'm getting quite bored of all this criticism and all this everything-experts.
    It's a teaser poster and it teases us. It has Bond, a Tuxedo, a strange look on his face and a location that doesn't reflect the tuxedo. What else would you want?

    Probably talking out of their backside but...maybe @DeerAtTheGates friend's comment has some merit...

    Ok a few things jump out at me:

    - They are continuing to highlight the font choice for the title (which I personally love); the movie must have a retro feel throughout. I’m thinking FRWL was the main influence in terms of photography, color scheme, style, etc
    - Craig’s weathered face is ON DISPLAY here; they have intentionally chosen to NOT smooth out his wrinkles. This is a beaten down, scarred, brutalized Bond. This undoubtedly ties into the plot. It would have been extremely easy to polish up his face but they did not.
    - They’re clearly dedicated to keeping a tight lid on any plot details. I know minimal posters are in style but nothing more than a carefully chosen blue hue wall. Weathered, just like his face, with his matching ice cold blue eyes.

    I agree and I hope it that is indeed the actual thought being put into it, and not just a coincidence. Despite being underwhelmed by the poster itself, I have really liked the title font from the day they revealed it.

    Assuming it is carefully thought, I had the impression that it tells we're going back to a CR kind of film - which is CJF's favorite. That wall (presumably "Cuba") gives an interesting message about the tone. It's harsh and decadent, it's totally in contrast with a tuxedo, even more in daylight. His expression tells concern and things are not going well.

    It's not my favorite, but the message is promising.
