 At last! The US teaser poster has been released via the TWINE Official Site. After months of speculating, we now have the chance to bring you the real thing, left. Initial reactions to the teaser poster were mixed, but generally positive.
  • "It's a huge change from the GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies advance posters and one of the coolest in quite a while, In my opinion.
  • Similar in design to the teaser trailer shots we've seen online, and very creative."

  • "Simple, sexy, striking. Much more satisfying than TND's gun-barrel clichés (built around Brosnan's smirking phizog), and refreshing to see a teaser poster that actually lives up to its name; Godard once said all you need for a great movie is a girl with a gun, and I love the way the leggy nymphet has been fetishised in flame.

    Like the teaser trailer (with which it meshes well), more modern and stylized than anything seen previously, right down to the streamlined 007 logo and funky font; pared-down typefaces are this year's Big Thing (apparently).

    Minus points: The silhouette layering is not as slick as it thinks it is, with Bond suffering the indignity of a melting hand and worrying side protrusion to accommodate the blazing beauty. Perhaps a little derivative of Goldeneye's title sequence, or even the fire goddesses of A View To A Kill's.

    Overall though, elemental and gloriously statuesque."

Unofficial Film Artwork

 The first piece of official artwork for The World Is Not Enough appeared in trade magazines in the Summer of '98. This can be seen to the left. Even at that early stage, the release date had already been decided upon. This image caused quite a stir when it was released.
Following this, there was little heard from the official outlet for months, at least in terms of artwork. People's interests were stirred up, keen fans produced their own version of what they imagined the official poster would look like, and then in December '98, the next piece of official artwork appeared.
This image shows that at the time, the title for the film was still not finalized. This is quite an unusual image, and is without doubt a departure from previous efforts.
Then, rumours were confirmed, and title was officially confirmed as The World Is Not Enough. The confirmation was not made via any particular event or outlet, but instead people associated with the production, such as Pierce Brosnan himself, let slip the title to interviewers. The title was eventually confirmed in January '99.
Recently, in the light of the new title, an excellent unofficial quad poster was produced, which can be seen below. This is based on the obligatory "production" poster, informing everyone that The World Is Not Enough is now shooting around the world. The official quad will soon make it's appearance, first in the US, and then in Europe. You can be sure to find it here.
This poster, which was not designed by an official outlet, first appeared in February, and uses a typeface similar to that of the official TWINE site (Tomorrow Never Dies had it's own font too, which is downloadable on the Internet).
We are now awaiting the official final version of the quad (poster, US Version), which is due to be unveiled late March, or April. The The World Is Not Enough Official Site is offering lucky readers in the US a chance to win a copy of the poster (International version to follow). It will be interesting to see which style the artist goes for. Recent efforts have tended to use a Brosnan mugshot and a gun, and not a lot else, as demonstrated by the GoldenEye US advance quad, below left, and the Tomorrow Never Dies poster, below right.
.........................
In the past, artists have been employed to create elaborate images combining the various highlights from the film.
The image below gives us some indication of what the title of the film will look like when the official poster is released. It's the image from the Official Website. The font used here will surely be the one used for the film itself.

Jason Munday, a very talented Bond fan, has produced this excellent piece of media which looks absolutely stunning. A good example of how impressive fan-produced artwork can actually be.
Joe Lopes has also been busy designing his own unique Bond 19 poster, left. 
In the meantime you can download a copy of this excellent unofficial artwork (left), perhaps to use as a desktop background. It was designed by Bond connoisseur Ben Zimmerman, and can be also downloaded from his Site, here.
