Expect A Darker Bond Film Based On Description of SKYFALL Teaser Trailer
Click the jump to read a very detailed description of the footage and the dialogue that was included in the first teaser trailer for Sam Mendes' 007 film, Skyfall. Updated: The next Bond film is confirmed for 2014 and I also included a new Skyfall image of Daniel Craig.
Cinema Blend was in attendance for Sony's presentation of the first teaser trailer for Sam Mendes' Skyfall. They have written an extremely thorough description of what they have seen, and what they have heard. And from what I've read of the material below, this movie IS going to be much darker than what most fans had suspected.
The trailer begins with a shot of Bond (Daniel Craig) from behind looking at the city of London. Then we hear someone in a voice-over say the word “Country” and Bond saying, “England.” It seems he is playing some sort of word association game. We then hear the mystery voice say “Gun” and Bond replies “Shot” as we view a target at the end of a shooting range. We then see that 007 is in an interrogation room where he is being asked the questions and being watched by Ralph Fiennes and some other people through two-way mirrors. The man sitting in front of Bond says “Agent,” and the superspy replies “Provocateur.” As more images flash on the screen the word association game continues: “Murder” “Employment.” The music then drops out as we flash back to the interrogation room and the man running the test says. “Skyfall.” After a pause, Bond says, “Done,” and stands up from the table. Another huge montage begins and we see shots of helicopters, giant fireballs causing a mysterious silhouette, shots of the Shanghai nightlife, Bond is standing over a long row of coffins draped with the flag of England, and a subway car crashing through a tunnel wall with incredible force. As the trailer comes to an end we hear Bond say, “Someone is coming to kill us. We’re going to kill them first.”
From beginning to end the trailer was impressive and had a very slick look to it that we don’t typically see from Mendes’ movies. While it all came in flashes, the movie looks like it is very action packed and tense. As excited as I was for Skyfall going into the presentation, I’m even more excited now.
According to ComingSoon, Sony's President of Worldwide Destribution, Rory Bruer, confirmed that James Bond's 24th film will be released in 2014.
