So I assume they're done with the 'origin story' by now?

Which makes me wonder...will Bond finally be portrayed as a veteran secret agent and 00 in this film? Has Craig's Bond finally caught up, in terms of age and experience, with say, the Connery Bond at least?

He's learnt about trust, the consequences his emotions and reactions can give and also let Vesper Lynd go so I think this will be a clean slate for our current 007 with almost, if not the same, skills, reactions, awareness and confidence we see from Sean Connery in his first outing in 'Dr.No', to also help bring the series full circle for 50 years - from one experienced secret agent to another.

I am sure they will be doing their best to fully package and polish this film as classic 007. I'll be pretty damn surprised too if the gunbarrel isn't right here it's supposed to be and also modelled a little closer on the original. A cool and less annoying nod to the 50th would be to have the radio bleeping from Dr No right before the white dots. I'd also be surprised if they aren't using the Bond theme a bit more fully in this one too.

Some films are cardboard cutouts of the adventures that preceded them, making them forgetable "Did you see that Bond movie where the bad guy tries to destroy the world but OO7 stops him with seconds to spare & then kills the him, blows up his home & steals his girlfiend?"
And then there are a choice few that stand out... BECAUSE they are different. One example that comes to mind is this hook discovered half way throught TWINE. Never before or since has the main antagonist been a beautiful woman. It made me stop & wonder how Bond was going to deal with her. But we weren't disappointed. He dispatched her coldly & efficiently with extreme predjudice. It's going to be interesting to learn what SKYFALL's hook is going to be.

In one of the trailers, M says that Bond is somewhere in the South China Sea. When pressed further for being rather vague, she says that "when you've worked with Bond as long as I have, you realize that somewhere in the South China Sea is precise intelligence." So clearly, Bond is now a veteran agent who is closer in experience to the Bond of old as opposed to the one we see in CR and QOS.
Which trailer is this one? Haven't seen it.
Having said that, its nice to know that Daniel Craig's Bond has finally 'come of age' as it were.

The iMax exclusive trailer - it's not legally online.
