It’s pretty safe to say that fans are quite looking forward to the next James Bond film, Skyfall. The franchise was rejuvenated with Daniel Craig in the excellent Casino Royale, and while the follow-up Quantum of Solace was a bit of a misfire, Skyfall has all the makings of a worthy entry to the classic series. Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Jarhead) is in the director’s chair, Javier Bardem is set as our villain, and Ralph Fiennes is onboard in a mysterious role. We got our first look at Bardem by way of some set photos just the other day, and while we’re eagerly awaiting Sony’s release of a trailer and poster, a pretty cool fan-made poster recently hit the web. It’s minimal, but the image of the smoking gun alongside the Skyfall logo gets the Bond message across loud and clear. It may be awhile before we see a full trailer given that Mendes is still in the middle of production, so this fan poster serves as a nice reminder that James Bond returns to theaters later this year.
Hit the jump to check out the fan poster. Skyfall opens November 9th in the US and on October 26th in the UK.
Here’s the official synopsis for Skyfall:
Daniel Craig is back as James Bond 007 in Skyfall, the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time. In Skyfall, Bond’s loyalty to M (Judi Dench) is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

Dude the second I read the comment above you, I thought “there should be a naked lady in the smoke!” Then I read your comment, hoping she would be in the smoke, and BOOM. Well played.
Can someone tell me what the font is for ‘The Past Becomes Present?’
It might be Font Bureau Agenda.
And what’s cool about this? Why do you even bother to post something like this?
For boobs like me I guess. I quite enjoy this.
It would look better with a futuristic city background such as in shanghai, with all the lights similar to the image of Bond we got before with him holding his PPK.
Thanks for sharing the poster, but to make this clear, Robert Meyer Burnett is not the responsible for the Fan Art, I am.
