It may be a teaser for a trailer and wow does it deliver! In the Skyfall teaser we learn about M’s past coming back to haunt her. Mallory (Ralph Fiennes) in a cool tone confronts M (Dame Judi Dench) over losing a disc with the “identity of every covert agent embedded in terrorist organization across the globe.”
During that dialogue you see 007 (Daniel Craig) is the agent who lost it and then he’s on top of a train. M orders “take the bloody shot” and as assasin shoots James Bond on a moving train and he falls.
…And I freaked out! The trailer arrives tomorrow. Skyfall opens this November.

Mendes says the car is a “thematic” choice and “there’s something about the later part of the movie which is deliberately…very consciously…could have taken place in 1962.”

What will The Dark Knight Rises director Christopher Nolan pick for his next project after the Batman finale? Nolan has expressed interest in directing a James Bond film. The director has said the big action sequence at the snowbound fortress in Inception was inspired by On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
In a new interview Empire Online with The Playlist Nolan says he’s serious but cautious about a potential 007 film.
“It would have to be the right situation and the right time in their cycle of things.”
I have to agree with the editors that say Nolan’s comment suggest he would only like to take on the job if he got to make a fresh start, including casting a new Bond. Craig is lined up for more films so a potential Nolan helmed 007 movie may be more than a decade away.

Daniel Craig recruited Oscar winner Sam Mendes to direct the upcoming Bond film Skyfall so it’s not a stretch to see an acclaimed filmmaker work on 007. And never underestimate producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson shaking things up. The change from Pierce Brosnan to Daniel Craig was a shock and look how it’s working. After the Daniel Craig era closes an innovative director like Nolan might be just what the franchise needs.
New James Bond girl Berenice Marlohe has a new role associated with the famous super spy. The French actress is now an OMEGA brand ambassador and helped celebrated the opening of the new boutique in Venice. Daniel Craig’s 007 wears OMEGA in the films and his first film Casino Royale reached a big finish in Venice.
Skyfall will be Marlohe’s first English language film and she tells MI6.com describes her role as the enigmatic Severine.
“For me,” she says, “enigmatic is very important because I wanted to create a character who couldn’t be stereotyped. It should not be obvious immediately what kind of person she is.” She adds, “Daniel Craig has added something special with James Bond – he’s both tough and vulnerable and it’s not always clear what he’s thinking. I want to do the same thing with Séverine – she’s not just on the screen to be saved by Bond.”

The new James Bond girl of Skyfall has not even hit the big screen yet but she’s already in the top 10 of sexiest Bond girls. Berenice Marlohe continues the legacy of French actresses on 007 movies as a mysterious character named Severine. She was number 7.
