Inspiration for CR Poster?

Andy A 007

I was looking at this awesome art print by legendary Bond poster designer Robert McGinnis and I couldn't help but notice the stonch resemblence it has to the CR teaser poster. I wonder if it's possible that this art print was a direct inspiration for the CR teaser poster or if its just coincidence

You be the judge:

Dead ringer...

In both pictures, it looks like they're betting away their handguns...

It's not too big a stretch to think of having Bond sat at a gaming table (I even did one myself a few years back: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/emtiem/CasinoRoyaleWeb.jpg ), so I don't think anyone's ripped it off. The CR one is certainly more stylish.

Sean's gun is enormous!

I don't think that the Sean Connery poster inspired the CR one, but I can certainly see the connection.
