Die Laughing posted:I want to say that someone mentioned in a different thread that the authors of the books had pretty much no say on the cover art of their books. Pretty much the publisher would tell you what the cover was going to look like, no matter how non-sensical it may be. Sci-Fi author Charles Stross has stated that when he got his book contract he was allowed exactly ONE cover veto. I'm certain that authors of that era (the 50s and 60s) had even less say.

The odd part is it's actually a pretty accurate depiction of the main character.

I know my dad will go to DVD sales and buy pretty much anything with a gun or that looks a bit actiony but I'm not sure if he's really the norm.

They're just trying to shake up the status quo (New and Improved Bond tm! Go see him!) without actually thinking it through. But I seem to be in the minority here when I say that it looks dumb.

It's obviously not a film about James Bond shrinking down and walking through a gun barrel or something, jesus.

Wolfbane, in which Bond must stop the plans of an ancient cabal of werewolves that were affiliated with the Nazis. They tried to put werewolves in the Lone Ranger movie, so why not?

They have similar noses. Shia LaBeouf's totally f**kin' rawking bad-azz xtreeeeeeeeem pose with the guns just makes me want to punch him in the balls. Well, even more so than usual. It took me a bit to get that Gary Oldman is wearing his jacket like a cape. His poster still looks like a photoshop disaster though.

What if we just throw all of the posters so far into one poster? Then do a big explosion filter, that'll be cool, sure.
