Daniel Craig’s new James Bond movie has a title. What does Skyfall mean? It’s definitely not an Ian Fleming book or short story. Pierce Brosnan’s first film, Goldeneye, took the name of Fleming’s estate. The World Is Not Enough is the motto on the Bond family crest. Skyfall doesn’t ring a bell from any Fleming book I read.
SFX has some clever and funny theories. I suspect producers are taking a cue from Thunderball which was the code name of 007’s mission in the film. It could be the code name for the villain’s operation.
In this previous post I revealed the James Bond graphic novels published by Dark Horse Comics. Serpent’s Tooth is a fun read. Quasimodo Gambit is an interesting title. These books could be nice diversions as you await the next big screen adventure.
Dreaming up a title is always tough. Everyone is a critic. I really thought the producers would choose the Fleming short story, The Property of a Lady, but now we have Skyfall. What do you think Skyfall means?
