Following the Saul Bass-inspired previous promo image, here's a slightly more traditional new poster for Steven Spielberg's Bridge Of Spies: same face, different design. Once again teaming the director with his old Saving Private Ryan and The Terminal cohort Tom Hanks, this one's a spy thriller. Could you tell?

The story is based on the true-life tale of James Donovan (Hanks); a lawyer who was pushed headfirst into the Cold War during the 1960s when he had to negotiate for the release of downed U2 spy plane pilot Gary Powers (Austin Stowell) after the airman was shot down over Russia.
The title refers to the popular Cold War nickname for what's now the Glienicke Bridge connecting Wannsee and Potsdam: East and West Germany at the time the film is set. Its official name then was the Bridge of Unity, but it garnered its alternate moniker due to its notoriety as a prisoner exchange point for Western and Soviet powers.
Hanks and Stowell's supporting cast for the film includes Amy Ryan, Alan Alda, Billy Magnussen and the suddenly ubiquitous Mark Rylance. Spielberg's other regular honcho John Williams composed the score.
Filming took place in Berlin and New York last year, and Bridge Of Spies is out in the UK on November 6.
