If you are like me (a James Bond fan) then you have probably seen all of the 22 films, and are waiting for the 23th. As promised earlier I will be following the rumors and news on Skyfall until it is released. Many of us are happy that production is continuing, as last year MGM was close to bankruptcy and production stalled, I myself was a bit nervous as throughout my childhood I have really enjoyed watching Bond films and I would not have liked this to be the last. It is sad that things come to an end, like my favorite T.V show, House M.D which ends next Monday, but thankfully the filming of James Bond's new adventure, "Skyfall" continues.
Now for the plot: what we know til now is that the organization that Bond works for, MI6 is under attack, now if you have guessed that Bond will attempt to save it then you are indeed correct. In the movie Bond's loyalty to M will be challenged, and he will undertake new risks to save MI6, and stay loyal to M.
The cast:
Good news, as all of you probably know Daniel Craig is returning as James Bond, as for the villains, and Bond girls we are going to see some new characters, but first some more good news, Judi Dench is also returning to play the role on M. Now as for the villains we will see Javier Bardem play the role of the lead villain, Raoul Silva. However this is no ordinary villain, Javier Bardem himself stated that, "[he is] more than a villain." Could he somehow be connected with Bond, or maybe M, we'll have to wait and see. The last of the important characters is Naomie Harris, she is to play the role of Eve, an agent and accomplice to James Bond. Her character lacks much experience in the field, however she believes she can match Bond. If you truly are a James Bond fan then you probably remember Q, and his absence in some of the newer movies, well he is returning, being played by Ben Whishaw. So thats what you need to know about the characters, of course there are more characters but these are the main ones.
Now what would a movie be without some controversy? Apparently rumors are that James Bond will be moving away from his traditional Martini, instead he is to drink beer. This news was leaked out a month or so ago, and it brought with it a lot of outrage and controversy. I myself think that Bond drinking beer is a terrible idea, it takes away from his class, and traditional view. For 22 consecutive movies Bond was either seen with a Vodka Martini ("Shaken, not stirred"), or in the newer films a Dry Martini. I think that Bond drinking beer will tarnish his image, as it will make him look more ordinary.
Recently Bond was seen with an Aston Martin DBS, however some fans claim they have seen a DB5 on sight while filming, and it also appears in the trailer. However the powerful DBS is also on scene. It is nice to see these beautiful cars present, something we have seen in past films too. Remember that scene in Casino Royale when Bond flips his DBS in order to save Vesper? Well in that scene more than a dozen cars where destroyed, painful to watch for some, and for others pure action. In Skyfall there is to be some interesting chase scenes too, so stay tuned.
Sony Pictures has recently released a trailer, check it out for yourself:
