Gun-brandishing Daniel Craig smoulders in white tuxedo as new poster for Spectre is unveiled

Gun-brandishing Daniel Craig smoulders in white tuxedo as new poster for Spectre is unveiled

There's just two months until its highly anticipated release.
And the final poster for James Bond: Spectre has finally been unveiled - and it'll certainly have Daniel Craig fans feeling a little hot under the collar.
Dressed in a white tuxedo and brandishing his signature gun, the poster sees the actor oozes his typically dangerous charm.

Amid the murky blue backdrop the 47-year-old poses against is a chilling image of a man wearing a skull mask and a jacket emblazoned with a bone motif, a nod to the sinister organization that 007 aims to uncover in the film. 
The British actor recently opened up about his new role and branded his iconic character 'misogynistic', 'sexist' and 'very lonely'.
Craig, who has played the world's best-known spy since 2005, told Esquire magazine he would bring 'weight and meaning' to the role in his fourth outing as Bond, Spectre.

Covering this month's issue, the actor said: 'Hopefully my Bond is not as sexist and misogynistic as [earlier incarnations]. The world has changed.
'I am certainly not that person. But he is, and so what does that mean? It means you cast great actresses and make the parts as good as you can for the women in the movies.'
For the first time in the history of the movie franchise, 007 has a relationship with a 'mature' woman, actress Monica Bellucci playing the widow of a gangster.
And Daniel admitted that while Bond might have his pick of attractive women, he cannot form meaningful relationships which leaves him very lonely.

The 24th Bond film will be 'Skyfall times 10' according to the actor, who said it will conspicuously make the parts for women as empowering as possible.
'There's a great sadness. He's got these beautiful women but then they leave. It's sad. And as a man gets older it's not a good look. It might be a nice fantasy, that' s debatable, but the reality, after a couple of months...' he added. 
In recent years, the film franchise has endured criticism over its treatment of women, with critics calling for the role of the Bond Girl to be updated.

The latest film will see Bond battle a mysterious organisation known as Spectre. It also stars Austrian-born actor Christoph Waltz as villain Franz Oberhauser, Léa Seydoux as psychologist Dr Madeleine Swann, and Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra, the widow of an assassinated mafioso. 
Despite his devotion to the films, Craig also suggested in the interview that this may be his last appearance in the role.
There has been speculation that the franchise could have a black Bond for the first time. 
Spectre is released in UK cinemas on October 26.

Naomie and others are asked; What looks good on a man? - Esquire

WHAT LOOKS GOOD ON A MAN?

The world's most recognisable women give us their pointers

By  


Kim-Cattrall-89
If you want to know the answer, don’t ask your friends, your workmates or your tailor. Ask a woman…

KIM CATTRALL (actress)
GOOD – A scarf. It adds colour and flair to a conservative or relaxed style. And a scent. Something subtle that you remember.
BAD – Men wearing knee-high white socks when they’re not playing cricket.


JOAN COLLINS (actress, author)
GOOD – A man can’t go wrong in a well-cut suit with a beautiful shirt and tie and well-polished shoes. I like jeans – if they fit – with an open-necked shirt, a leather jacket and loafers.
BAD – Speedos or budgie-smugglers. Hideous, even on professional swimmers. Low-slung jeans do nothing for me, either. Men with too much jewellery are suspect. Underwear showing is horrid, too.

carla bruni


CARLA BRUNI (singer, model)
GOOD – What looks good on a man? A dark suit. Jeans and a white shirt, too. And  I miss hats and   gloves – very chic.
BAD – Bow ties. Unless it’s on evening wear. Or a shirt with short sleeves. I think short sleeves are like the devil to me.



Alma Awards 2012

EVA LONGORIA (actress)
GOOD – A suit. It should be tailored and fitted. And a good watch, classy and understated, as opposed to flashy and statement-oriented.
BAD- Never wear too much cologne. And I hate knitted sweaters. It just seems really feminine for a man to wear a knitted sweater with a shirt. Men should never wear high-waisted pants.


STACEY SMITH (menswear buyer, matchesfashion.com)
GOOD – It’s about wearing what feels comfortable, and having confidence in how you dress – some of the best-dressed men ignore “the rules”. That said, every man should invest in the best shoes they can afford.
BAD – Not taking care of yourself. Make sure shirts are pristine white, keep clothes well-ironed and well looked after.

Naomie+Harris


NAOMIE HARRIS (actress)
GOOD – It’s all about confidence. Being comfortable in your own skin, there is something so attractive about that.
BAD – A man should never, ever wear Ugg boots. I love my Ugg boots, I live in my Ugg boots, they are life-changing. But a man shouldn’t do it. It is not cool. Ugg boots worn with confidence? Now that’s a difficult conundrum.



ALISON LOEHNI (president, net-a-porter.com)
GOOD – It’s a simple formula: a perfectly cut jacket, a crisp shirt, a great cashmere sweater, chinos. A great pair of sneakers or shoes by John Lobb.
BAD – Tuck fitted shirts in nice and tight – the last thing you want is anything looking too blousy. And a man should never wear shorts in the city.

DAME VIVIENNE WESTWOOD (designer)
GOOD – I love long hair on men.
BAD – Tattoos – with the occasional exception. Most people are lacking in culture and choose images that don’t mean anything. Also, a man shouldn’t wear his shirt over his trousers. Every now and again it works. But mostly they end up looking like babies.
helena christensen

HELENA CHRISTENSEN (model, photographer)
GOOD – Clothes that are an expression of a man’s spirit, charisma, humour and intellect.
BAD – As long as it’s a true extension of their personality, men should just go for it. They can look good in pretty much anything, even dresses. Maybe not knee socks.

LENA HEADEY (actress)
GOOD – Humour and confidence. And the occasional well-fitting tuxedo never hurt anyone.
BAD – Too tight trousers. No one needs to see a man-toe wrapped and wrinkled, sweaty fabric.

hbz-garance-dorw


GARANCE DORE’ (photographer)
GOOD – I like a man who’s not afraid to play with fashion. When it’s too polished, its distracting. And good scent is the perfect to-die-for touch.
BAD – I’m not a fan of deep V-necks. And I have a problem with pointy shoes.



TRACEY EMIN (artist)
GOOD – A well tailored waistcoat is the sexiest thing that a man can wear.
BAD – High-waisted red trousers.
"Arbitrage" New York Premiere

BRIT MARLING (actress, writer, producer)
GOOD – Suits look good. But a police uniform looks even better! Jimmy Nesbitt in his [Danny Boyle's] Babylon is a sight to behold.
BAD – Sweatpants. With the ankles bunched up.


CATHERINE HAYWARD (fashion director, esquire UK)
GOOD – Baseball T-shirts with a contrast raglan colourful sleeve – emphasises a strong shoulder . A cable knit chunky sweater in navy or neutral cream, with a white T-shirt and dark jeans.
BAD- V-neck sweaters – runs the risk of stray chest hair peeping over the top. Also, cheap shoes with a pointed toe.

Naomie Harris sizzles in sexy photo shoot as she talks 007 and Idris Elba

SHE starred in the highest-grossing 007 film of all time, and now Naomie Harris has proved just why she was good enough to be a Bond girl.

The 37-year-old looks incredible in her latest photo shoot, which sees her posing in an array of sexy underwear for Esquire magazine.
Speaking about her role in the latest James Bond film where she plays Eve Moneypenny, Harris told the magazine: "I thought it was going to be this intimidating, massive machine."
She also touched on the rumours about Idris Elba being the next James Bond, and how she started them.

"A journalist once asked me, ‘Who do you think is going to be the next Bond?’" she explained. "I said, ‘I’ve just finished working with Idris so, if I had the chance, I would vote for him’.
"The next thing there were headlines going: 'Naomie Harris says Idris Elba to be the next Bond’. And Idris has had to live with that ever since. Now, nearly every time he does an interview, he gets asked about it."

Naomie has spent a lot of time with the 'Luther' actor recently as they both star in upcoming film 'Mandela: Long Road to Freedom.'
The actress takes on the role of Mandela's wife Winnie in the biographical film and admitted that she lived in fear of what the real-life Winnie would make of her portrayal.
Speaking of her reaction, Naomie said: "She loved it. I was over the moon - she was the one critic I was really scared of. But she’s seen it, she likes it, my job is done."

"You really feel the weight of responsibility," she added of being cast in the film. "I think it’s almost easier to understand Winnie than Nelson because he does something that is so against human instinct."
She and Idris walked the red carpet at the London premiere of the film last night, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were also in attendance.
'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom' is out January 3.
The full interview with Naomie appears in Esquire’s January Film Special issue,  which is on sale Thursday December 5. It is also available as a digital edition.

WOWZERS: Naomie Harris Gets SEXY For ESQUIRE Magazine's January 2014


 photo nhesquire1_zpsfe1172b5.jpg
Well, HELLO Hottie!  British bombshell Naomie Harris is showing off her sex appeal for Esquire magazine.  Check out how the newest 'Winnie Mandela' is reminding us of her Bond Girl behavior....

Naomie Harris stripped down and opened up--literally--to shoot the Esquire January Film Special.   In sheer black & blue lingerie and heels, the 37-year-old Skyfall actress turned Mandela star is doing a whole lot of talking...without saying a word.
 photo nhesquire2_zpsbd97c34c.jpg
But she did actually speak a few words...about her equally sexy co-star Idris Elba.  She admitted she was the one who started the rumors about Mandela star Idris becoming the first black James Bond.
'A journalist once asked me, ‘Who do you think is going to be the next Bond?’ I said, ‘I’ve just finished working with Idris so, if I had the chance, I would vote for him’.
'The next thing there were headlines going: Naomie Harris says Idris Elba to be the next Bond’. And Idris has had to live with that ever since. Now, nearly every time he does an interview, he gets asked about it.'
And she also told Esquire about being terrified about what the real Winnie Mandela would think of her movie portrayal:
'She loved it. I was over the moon — she was the one critic I was really scared of. But she’s seen it, she likes it, my job is done.'
