James Bond In Skyfall - Part 8

[Doctor Jones]

Maybe, but they are meant to be more literary covers rather than movie poster type covers. It's back to the old style of Bond being just a shadow or outline or not even shown. I've got the first wave of 4, the rest will be out by Sept 6 and by then the retro covers start roilling out which I will also be getting. The US versions look like smaller versions of the Penguin covers.

I like how they did the universal shadowed outline on a solid color cover like they did in the 80's-early 90's in that style. I've got all of them up to that point in that style too, which actually ended up my most read copies. Like these - http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5D9uZtcEVR4/TzvPicVK8nI/AAAAAAAAF4E/9Pwp5d3M--4/s1600/gardnerus1.jpg
I also got myself the Gardner reprints when they came out earlier this summer. http://www.john-gardner.com/sites/default/files/Bond8.jpg

Are the U.S. covers still the ones with the girls on them? Or are you talking about these? http://www.amazon.com/Casino-Royale-Penguin-Modern-Classics/dp/0141187581/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1345757559&sr=1-1&keywords=casino+royale

I like the style of that one. Though I prefer them with more color.

I love those Gardner covers.

Where are these covers from?

They're the new official covers coming out soon. I came across them on a Bond fan website.

One has to ask why 007 has decided to perch jauntily against a lamp post opposite the Houses of Parliament, brandishing a very small and very old Beretta?

Because he is on her majesty's secret service!

hahahahaha

ha

[Sawyer]

Pierce Brosnan for the win!

Wait, they're doing DVDs and Blu-ray? I thought they were just doing Blu-ray...

I was talking aboiut the ones with the really colorful covers.

The Gardner covers are good, but it's more or a universal style they had in the 80's. That covers Fleming, Amis, Pearson and Gardner books published up to that point. They make for nice covers but those bright colors right next to each other on the shelf looks a bit garish so those are not the ones I keep on the shelf.

DVD as well. If you still have your Ultimate Edition DVDs, I would hold onto those for the special features because word has it that Bond 50 set is actually missing previous extras!

The Goldeneye one looks like a cover for one of those female erotic novels or something.

The on her majesty's secret service cover is like the matthew mcconaughey leans on things movie posters

+1. My favourite from that lot is the Octopussy one, which speaks volume about the quality of those covers.

 

[Slushy]

For Your Eyes Only looks like the cover to a Michael Bolton album!

I don't remember if it was the ultimate collectors DVD covers or very early blu ray covers but I remember people HATING them with a passion

 

[AnneFan]

Berenice looks fine up there with the speargun. And Jane Seymour looks amazing, better than ever.

Happy 82nd birthday to the best damn James Bond there ever was and ever will be; Sean Connery!

 

[Doctor Jones]

82? Wow.

 

[Webhead2006]

The bluray covers some look good some ok. I agree most didn't turn out great. Who the heck did the cover work.

Tonia Sotiropoulou is on the cover of this month's STATUS, a Greek Esquire-ish magazine.

The text reads:
"Tonia Sotiropoulou: The Greek Bond Girl. She will seduce Daniel Craig. Discover her first!"

 

[regwec]

Very tidy, lass.

STATUS Magazine, August 2012 - Tonia Sotiropoulou


_______







The title reads:
"SEDUCING 007. A few months before the premiere of SKYFALL, where she's appearing as a Bond Girl next to Daniel Craig, Tonia Sotiropoulou knows that now, more than ever, she has to chase her dream. The one that led her away from Greece four years ago."


About SKYFALL, Tonia says:

"The first audition, I remember, was on a Friday. On Monday they called me and said I had an appointment with Sam Mendes. They didn't tell me I got the role, but I was sure. So I went and met him. He was very sweet and kind and at the end of our discussion he said "alright, see you in Turkey". I tried to look calm because there were a lot of production people there. I was suffering! When I finally came back home, I fell on my knees and started crying. But that's what I do with every role I take. It's a huge satisfaction seeing that a director wants to implement his vision through you."

Yeah, he wants to 'implement' his 'vision'... sureee

Anyone see Black Dynamite last night? James Bond was in there at Casino Royal, both Sean and Rodger! BM refers to them as
"James Bondses."

 

[Dark Raven]

Berenice looks fine up there with the speargun.

I just wish she were standing in a red swimsuit similar to those old shots of Claudine Auger in Thunderball.

 

[regwec]

I quite like the skin-tight, snake skin dress. Coupled with her claw-like fingernails, you can deduce a lot about her character from her costume.

(Assuming it does have a direct relevance to the film?)
