“Get the Look” Inspiration: Japanese Posters

This “From Wreck to Riches” article on a beautifully bright, light and stylish family home in yesterday’s Evening Standard features a framed Japanese release movie poster in the sitting room that caught our eye.

James Bond is 007 – shaken, not stirred…!

  As fans of Ian Fleming’s fictional MI6 secret agent, James Bond, and his collection of classic cars and gadget-laden vehicles can rejoice at the extended opening of the Bond in Motion exhibition at the London Film Museum (and the widely anticipated opening of the next James Bond movie Spectre starring Daniel Craig), we take a look at some of the iconic movie posters produced for the 007 movies currently listed on our website.

  This long-running popular series full of seductive Bond girls, evil villains, high speed car chases, witty one-liners, exotic locations and Martinis “shaken, not stirred” hit the screens in 1962 with the first actor to play the dapper British spy master, Sean Connery (1962-1971, 1983: Dr No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever and a later adaptation of Thunderball, Never Say Never Again):

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

In 1969, between You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever, the Australian actor, George Lazenby, was chosen to play the role of James Bond in one movie only – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service:

 

In 1973 the English actor, Roger Moore, then well known for his role as Simon Templar in The Saint, took over and became the oldest and longest serving 007 actor, portraying a more suave James Bond (1973-1985: Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, A View to a Kill):

  

 

 

  

 

 

 

As we specialize in original vintage posters primarily from the 1800s to 1970s, our James Bond poster collection ends with Timothy Dalton’s role as 007 in The Living Daylights (1987):

Please contact us if you would like any further information on our poster collection and if you are interested in any James Bond movie poster not currently listed on our website as our stock is regularly updated. We also provide a search on demand search service for individuals, interior designers and collectors looking for specific posters; most of our 007 film posters have been bought by individuals to decorate their cinema rooms and as gifts for James Bond fans, notable birthdays and children/teenagers.
