I miss the days of the illustrated James Bond movie posters, really loved the artwork on some of them.

I agree. I'd love to see a poster like LALD, TMWTGG or TLD again.

That is the most Bondish poster in Craig's history.

Humm is that supposed to be Zorin? Not sure who it is but he reminds me of Travolta.

Craig looks uncomfortable again :? the odd pose reminds me of a toddler with a surprise for you. :wink: :lol:

Best in the group is the femme fatale, next best is I'd guess Zorin with his Matrix Jacket. Didn't the henchman in DAD have jacket like that, this a homage to DAD?

Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.

Those were awesome maybe they will try to recreate it for the 50th. Doubt it it's just not the style any more.

Yeah, the villain does sort of remind me of Max Zorin as well. Most likely because he has similar styled blonde hair. I personally don't think that illustrated movie posters are too dated to be brought back. They just have so much more colour, character, and liveliness than the modern movie posters.

Those who like James Bond related artwork should check out this site: http://illustrated007.blogspot.ca/

It has some really cool artwork for posters, books, comics, collectibles, and all sorts of other interesting stuff.

Why does Daniel constantly have to look like a thug. I think an elegant classic Bond pose would have worked wonders in this poster series, a tall standing Lazenby, Connnery, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan in a tux expressed the menace while looking elegant. Daniel sadly looks like ex-boxer tunred bouncer in a ill fitted suit
