Karen Krizanovich has confirmed that SKYFALL closes with the gunbarrel.

It is a minor thing but if the advanced backlash against this idea is high enough, would it be too late for Mendes to place it at the front before wide release?

No,no, no EON! That's incorrect. 0 out of 10. Fail. Must try harder.

Soo we're never getting a proper gunbarrel then, are we? So what's up with the Bond theme in the Breadcrumbs track?

Some nice stuff in there. Plus Mr Bamigboye confirms he was right about the exclusive many of us doubted.

Watch it be a new tradition. "Let's close the film with the gunbarrel!"

Thanks Marc Forster...

It's the Bond theme. It can play in other places than the gunbarrel.

I didn't know this.

I blame the 90's Batman films!

Seriously: they closed with their own version of the gunbarrel.

[x007AceOfSpades]

I was fine, in fact I loved the CR gunbarrel woven in the title sequence. QOS, I stood up and went "Where is it?!".

4 years later. Mendes, and EON have given us a proper Bond film, one to remember. Why can't you give us the proper introduction to the films!

To some, it may not be a big deal, but for me it slowly is becoming an issue.

So Craig is still becoming Bond then?

off!

Ooh. Graham Rye managed to get tickets for this event. Good on him.

Will be even more anticipatory to hear his review as he is saying it to 'be right up there.'

[Pussfeller]

So, is this exclusively a thread about the gunbarrel now?

[marktmurphy]

HeyYouGuys (whatever that is):

This is exciting though:

This is a classic Bond film and something new. Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace had shades of the Bond of old with a tough Bourne like strength in the mix, something which here has been replaced with a confident new hand. What is emerging is an action series which is no longer seeking to borrow from the films it originally inspired, nor to coast on past glories. Bond is finding its feet on new ground and the results are well worth the wait.

[Matt_13]

So the film is undeniably a winner. Really too bad it's opening two weeks later in the US. Oh well, it'll get here eventually.

David Llewellyn as Q, no doubt??

[marktmurphy]

I think I've read enough reviews. That HeyYouGuys one is good and unspecific, but it's hard not to read between the lines about how the film ends (and I don't mean the climax, but the very end)

And Javier Bardem as "Silver". She must have learned film criticism from this guy.

Big fan of David Llewellyn's Q myself...

Skyfall positives, tho: Naomie Harris, marvelously macabre title sequence, lovely use of the Aston, Shanghai cinematography

Title sequence sounds interesting.

I guess Quantum is involved then. Mr Silver is a natural progression, obviously.

[007jamesbond]
