Well, in my humble opinion I think the fan poster from that news item is pretty much inferior to most of the official teaser posters. In fact, it blatantly uses images of Christoph Waltz with a beard from "Django Unchained"....
In it, not what is in the actual film. ;)
(translated from french): "In total, the staff of the new James Bond opus will work a week in Morocco for (exterior) sequences of the film of hardly ten minutes."
I agree 100%; the state of creativity when it comes to movie posters in general is at an all time low.
Why don't you make the SPECTRE poster then. 8-}
Yeah, but Eon has access to the actors for publicity shots and fan poster makers don't, so I don't think it's fair to hold that against the fan posters.
I don't want to. I have stated several times that I like the teaser posters for SPECTRE so far. I'm completely satisfied.
Yes you have, but putting down and outright insulting Fan artists by calling their hard work and efforts "Inferior" is just rude. So if you think they are so Inferior then make your Ideal Perfect SPECTRE poster you hold in such high regard. 8-|
" ... At the White House today the President said he was entirely satisfied ... " ;)
Most of the fan posters are quite awful honestly. Only Marketto has made something EON worthy (though others came very close).
I like the simplistic poster. But I agree that it should have been more Casino Royale esque rather than just a model shot of Craig.
At least it's better than a picture of the ground with a shadow on it, like the QOS teaser!
Yeah, that pic of Craig, LALDsque is average but I loved what they did with Casino Royale - the first and the second. I would love it if the second is more in the vein of Bond walking down the steps of the casino. It looked liked some of this stylish photography you see in exhibitions.
I think you are exaggerating. I only said I didn't like those cheap copy-paste attempts. Even a fan, for example the great @Marketto, can be way more creative than that.
I actually find it rather insulting that you generalize so heavily. You talk about "they", "insulting" and "the fans", whereas I merely disliked that attempt from that news item. On top of that.....is it forbidden here to not like someone's fan poster??
Now back on topic.
we have had several people confirm that SPECTRE will be the best bond film since the sixties, I think we can show a little patience ;)
Very prescient given the film is far from complete.
I wouldn't say THAT far (or at least filming).
Plus, given that people have read the script, they have a much better judgement of whether the film is good or not.
Filming perhaps. The edit counts for a lot, let alone the inevitable improvisation during the filming process. Judging what the film 'will be' at this point is certainly a mug's game.
Not really. Script to screen is an arduous undertaking. A seemingly bad script can be transformed into something beautiful and a seemingly brilliant one can be made to look ordinary. It's not science, it's art. There are so many factors built into film making that forum-dwelling onlookers cannot make such assumptions unless they are actually Mendes.
Couldn't quite figure our your quoted post - did you write this?
1. never
2. yes
A bad script can never be transformed into something beautiful.
A good script can be turned into a good film.
A good script can also be turned into a bad film.
A movie can never get better than the script, just as good or even worse.
That's why filmmaking is so hard. And that's why there are so few really good movies.
I said a 'seemingly bad' script. A lot of key creatives involved in Star Wars thought the script was woeful. Yet Lucas created something indelible from it because there was a vision there. All I'm saying is, with all due respect, fans reading a leaked script and declaring it brilliant means sweet fuck all.
And a movie can and invariably is, by it's very nature, better than a script.
