Just as you thought the poster campaign was over, here comes another one! The following poster, exclusive to IMAX goers in America, will be free to all who attend the midnight screening of ‘Skyfall’ on October 8th.
‘Skyfall’ Co Producer Barbara Broccoli, has insisted that Bond is not ready for 3D. Speaking exclusively to ‘Screen Rant‘, Broccoli stated that Bond in IMAX should be the main focus point. However, the idea of 3D hasn’t been completely dismissed. Whilst 3D is widely known as a gimmick, it would be interesting to see a 3D Bond film, even if it’s just for the brilliant opening credits animation which has the potential to work very well indeed.
Broccoli: “I think probably more in what you want to do. I think more in horror and science fiction, stuff like that. I think they’re more suited to 3D than these, really. We’re in IMAX, which we’re very excited about and I think that experience will be great. Not quite ready for 3D yet.”
Amongst all the latest updates on the imminent ‘Skyfall’ premier – trailers, adds and whatnot – there is also the odd snippet on the literary Bond coming our way. And these days such news are connected largely to the name of one artist: Michael Gillette.
Fans will remember Gillette is the artist behind the cover designs of Penguin’s 2008 Fleming reprints, giving that edition a distinctive and unique look. Now Gillette is busy making German publisher Cross Cult’s new Fleming translations a definite collectors item. Not only is it the first complete edition of the classic canon in German ever; Michael Gillette also provided two all-new original covers for ‘Thunderball’/’Feuerball’ and ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’/’Im Geheimdienst Ihrer Majestät’.
Two new videos have surfaced online featuring various new pieces of B-Roll footage from ‘Skyfall’.
Special thanks for Markett0007 for the alert and upload.
