The French “Grande Affiche” is largest of all the original movie posters produced for the latest 007 blockbuster.

After an extremely successful advertising campaign on “SKYFALL”, Empire Design have been retained by EON for the latest Bond extravaganza “SPECTRE” & it’s fair to say they have come up trumps again. This very rare original “Prochainement” Advance France grande effete for Sam Mendes’ second Bond film has a real retro feel about it exuding a strong “Live and Let Die” / Roger Moore vibe as Daniel Craig mimics Moore’s stance and rocks the dark turtleneck sweater look with shoulder holster accessory. These “Coming Soon/Prochainement” advance posters are always sought after and often give an indication of the coming film’s tone; so can we expect a more tongue in cheek, Roger Moore type portrayal of 007 ? I think not! But anticipation is sky high after Daniel Craig has been quoted as saying”…expect Skyfall x 10″… Originally rolled (as issued) this lightly used example displays and presents excellently…Guaranteed original this represents an extremely collectable piece of rare James Bond movie memorabilia that in this large format (46.25″ x 63.25″) looks very impressive.

Film Description

James Bond SPECTRE Movie Poster

“You’ve got a secret James. Something you can’t tell anyone, because you don’t trust anyone”

If there was anything we learnt from ‘Skyfall’ it’s that Sam Mendes can make a damn good Bond film, veering away from the over-the-top, explosive nature of the franchise, and focusing more on Bond’s personal life and his vulnerability. Well what can be said? He did it again.

‘Spectre’ will definitely appeal more to those who were fans of the early films in the franchise, most notably ‘You Only Live Twice’ whose inspiration brings back one of the finest villains to ever face Bond. Mendes has since seemed to take a new direction on Craig’s series of films and led away from the gritty, thriller aspect that ‘Casino Royale’ and ‘Skyfall’ had and instead propelled the film as an action spectacle, full of beautifully orchestrated stunts, stunning cinematography and non-stop explosive action. The locations are stunning, the score is exhilarating and the cinematography from Hoyte Van Hoytema is dazzling.

Christoph Waltz and Dave Bautista, whoever the casting director was on this film, you deserve a huge pat on the back, this film stars two of the most perfect actors to plays villains ever. The much-loved Austrian Waltz whose Colonel Hans Landa has earned him recognition as a fantastic and plausible villain, and ex-wrestler Bautista proving that he is one person not to screw with.

‘Spectre’ manages to reflect back upon its predecessors in the franchise with references to prior villains, allies and lovers, further drawing upon a story that was in need of a conclusion, a conclusion all fans just couldn’t wait for. But… will ‘Spectre’ be the conclusion we expected? Or will there be more to follow from Daniel Craig and 007?

Obviously you don’t have to take my word for it, I’m just a mega-Bond fan, but allow me to shed some light upon it if you are having a hard time deciding whether to see it or not? I went and saw this in IMAX – I was blown away. This is the ultimate British action film and one of the finest instalments!

Most Popular Poster Types

US Posters

LOBBY CARD
11 x 14″ printed on heavy stock paper. Used as display in theatre lobbies. Originally made in sets of eight. Some sets have a title card, which contains credits and artwork, essentially a mini-poster. The remaining seven cards are coloured photographic credits and poster artwork showing different scenes from the movie.

WINDOW CARD
14 x 22″ printed on heavy stock paper with the top 4-6 inches usually left blank for the local cinema owner to fill in the cinema and the date it was due to play. Largely discontinued during the 1970’s.

HALF SHEET
22 x 28″ printed on heavy stock paper. The image displayed is normally a smaller version of the main poster, although some do have different artworks and sometimes come in two versions.

INSERT
14 x 36″ printed on heavy stock paper. Inserts usually have the same artwork as a one sheet. Popular with collectors since they are smaller and easier to frame. Normally come tri folded or rolled.

STYLE Y/FORTY BY SIXTY
40 x 60″ printed on heavy stock paper. Rare since they were primarily used for major motion pictures only. Designed to be used outside the theatre, on an easel, normally at a drive-in movie theatre.

ONE-SHEET
27 x 41″ printed on paper. This is the most common size of poster, intended to be displayed in a glass “marquee” case. It is the most sought after size by collectors. Since the 1980’s most posters are sent to the theatre rolled and maybe slightly smaller measuring 27″ by 40″ and with the advent of backlit light boxes a growing number of modern movie posters are available double-sided and the more traditional single-sided.

THREE-SHEET
41 x 81″ printed on paper. These were printed on two or three separate sheets designed to overlap, few survive. Used for larger advertising spaces, normally posted on walls, perfect for huge movie theatres the drive-in, where people could see them from a distance. From the 1970’s on, three-sheets were sometimes printed in one piece and issued as “international” versions to be used abroad.
