The next 007 movie
SKYFALL
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15558355 3 November 2011 Last updated at 08:07 ET Bond film called Skyfall By Tim Masters, Entertainment and arts correspondent, BBC News The title of the 23rd James Bond film has been confirmed as Skyfall. The latest 007 adventure will star Daniel Craig for the third time. Leading ladies have been confirmed as French actress Berenice Marlohe and Naomie Harris. Skyfall is being directed by Sam Mendes, who won an Oscar for 1999's American Beauty. Mendes said the storyline will take the secret agent to London, China, Turkey and Scotland. It will see Bond's loyalty tested to M, his superior, while espionage headquarters MI6 faces an attack. The movie, which sees the return of Dame Judi Dench as spy boss M, will also star Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and Javier Bardem as the villain of the piece. It will be released in the UK on 26 October 2012. Craig told reporters in London that the cast would start filming sequences for the new movie later on Thursday. Much speculation about the new film has focused on what Mendes will bring to the franchise, with some suggesting he will tone down - or even abandon altogether - the action sequences. But the director denied that this was the case. He told reporters in London that the "fantastic script" had "all the elements of a classic Bond movie, including - to quell any rumours - lots of action". When asked what fans could expect from the latest film, he added: "The movie will reveal everything, and there's lots of surprises." Producer Barbara Broccoli said no-one had yet been chosen to write and perfom the Bond theme tune. Financial troubles Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the first Bond movie, 1962's Dr No. James Bond is one of the longest-running franchises in film history, but Bond 23 will mark the end of a four year gap. The last 007 outing was in 2008's Quantum of Solace, directed by Marc Forster. Work on the 23rd film was suspended in April 2010 because of uncertainty over the company's future. The franchise had been on hold amid financial troubles, with MGM filing for bankruptcy protection last November. A rescue deal and restructuring plan put US firm Spyglass Entertainment at the helm of MGM, which had struggled due to several box office flops and a DVD sales slump. Craig - who made his Bond debut in Casino Royale in 2006 - is the sixth actor to play the British secret agent in the official Bond series. Sir Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Sir Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan preceded him in the iconic role. Casino Royale, was the most successful instalment in the franchise's 49-year history, making $594m (£385m) worldwide. Last edited by Frankie; 11-03-2011 at 09:34 AM.. |

I'm really looking forward to the film and Craig has signed on for several more, so hopefully we'll continue to see great directors and stories in the future. |

Traditionally, it's been each Bond actor's third film - when they have one - when they really get to put their own mark on the character. With that in mind, I'm looking forward to seeing how Craig does this time round.

Roger Deakins is the cinematographer so at least every frame will be gorgeous. I like the director choice too. Looking forward to it.

Heh, I noticed over the weekend that Netflix has a few Bond flicks up again. I watched parts of Living Daylights, Moonraker, Man with the Golden Gun and the “Renegade” Bond flick Never Say Never Again. Dalton was extremely underrated, Moore was overrated and pretty prissy. Connery as cool as ever.

The only ones i truly like are Spy Who Loved me and For Your Eyes Only.
Most of them are very tongue in cheek and extremely corny. Plus, Moore was like 70 years old for the last few. I can watch only for nostalgia purposes.

Its being released 1 day early in IMAX format Nov. 8th, and IMAX is claiming you get to see 25% more picture than a traditional movie screen (on top and bottom).

I can't imagine you'd miss enough in the top and bottom of the screen to justify spending so much more money.
Am I going to miss a bird fly by or something? |

Just got home from watching Skyfall, and I was very, very impressed. Almost as good as Casino Royale, and significantly better than Quantum. Good Dialogue, lots of action, and almost not gadgetry.
Javier Bardem was fantastic as the Bond Villian. Won't go into detail as I don't want to spoil anything, I will just say that it is well worth seeing on the big screen. Craig has really taken hold of the Bond role and is making it his own.

Pretty damn good. Bit long in the middle, but otherwise one of the best bond movies, and one of the best movies overall I've seen this year.

Best part is knowing Craig is on board for two more Bond movies.

Saw SkyFall tonight. It was really good. I had a bit of a hard time buying into the villain, but it didn't hurt the movie too much.
Really liked it overall and Craig as Bond. I'm going to have to hit up some more Craig movies. I really liked Defiance along with the Bonds. |
