After hearing the 'Skyfall' song by Adele, an interesting thought occurred to me.
The PTS will likely end with Bond being shot by Eve and falling into the water. So I thought...wouldn't it be cool if the opening titles were centered around imagery of Bond floating lifelessly in the water while the song was being played in the background.
Kinda similar to what was done in 'Die Another Day' with Bond being tortured in the background...
Interesting thought I had about the opening titles...

Would fit the lifelessness of the song then.

Easy there Shark. The song does what it says on the tin.

Interesting theory, if true it will carry on the trend of including Craig in the titles to his flims.

And possibly...thought I doubt it, as it's a bit too fan-based... imagery/flashbacks/distortion of previous missions (the previous films?) A bit fan-boyish that idea, but if he's almost dead, who knows what may be in his mind.
It will be interesting to see what they can incorporate into the titles unless it's lots of naked swimming ladies...! (Good old Binder era!)

Naturally, Craig's Bond only has two previous missions that we know of, so the flashbacks may not have much substance to them. I think SKYFALL will include hints of previous films, but no fully blown in-your-face homages as in DIE ANOTHER DAY.And possibly...thought I doubt it, as it's a bit too fan-based... imagery/flashbacks/distortion of previous missions (the previous films?)

Oh of course, we don't need in your face...just something subtle for casual Bond fans who may want a hint of this mans dangerous past, and hardcore fans who want to see that bit more than normal!

All I know is that there is a dragon in the blurred images behind the official video for Adele's song, and a pistol resting at the bottom of a riverbed, as well as several shots of what looks like multiple silhouetted men flipped upside. I think those are indicators of what we'll be seeing from Kleinman.

Hmm. Maybe some imagery that is a subtle hint to the previous films. For instance, a black widow spider (Dr. No), or burning oil drums (LTK), or ninja's (YOLT).
Hell, perhaps the PTS will serve in a way as a homage to previous PTS'. That would be much better than the in your face references of DAD in the film itself...
