Damn it Harkers. You beat me to it. Think this is the first thing they've let loose since the teaser, right?

[Vauxhall]

First new thing I've seen for a while (although I've been on holiday). Great to see some of Istanbul's iconic skyline behind Bond.

Cracking shot.

Memo to self: All other nations have motorbikes that appear to be from the 1980's.

Not great to be honest. But thanks for posting it Harkers.

Things have gone deadly quiet since shooting wrapped, and this picture does nothing to get me excited for Skyfall.

[DamnCoffee]

Yeah I know what you mean. I think the image was showcasing the new Omega Watch. Nothing too special, but I thought I'd share anyway.

Bond on a Vespa. Jeez... Well, at least it's a lot better than "Bond on a Vesper". Done to death. Move on... : )

Beautiful.

That's the poster image, don't they usually do their own cover images like Empire?

[Harry Fawkes]

Thought this was really hilarious.

Very cool photo!

Nice pic...that's the National Gallery in London, is it not? Or one of those big ones..?

[Vauxhall]

Great pic! That's the National Gallery, yes, shortly before Bond meets Q.

(Fingers crossed for Goya's Duke of Wellington...)

At the National Gallery?

I believe Bond is facing the following Joseph Mallord William Turner paintings:

• Margate, from the Sea

• Rain, Steam, and Speed - The Great Western Railway\

• The Evening Star

• Ulysses deriding Polyphemus- Homer's Odyssey

He's sitting in the sackler room which is primarily a British gallery.

Isn't that at the British Museum?

I think you mean Room 34.

[Chief of SIS]

I thought Room 34 was the sackler room

He certainly could be looking at Ulysses Deriding Polyphemus - Turner's depiction of an episode that happens on Odysseus' journey back from Troy.

I find it very interesting that there could be this reference to Homer and The Odyssey here, as I believe that there will be a subtle theme of Trojan Horses in the film, both in reference to the classical and the ones you get in computers.

Also in the room is ‘The Fighting Temeraire’ also by Turner. It shows the Temeraire, a ship that had been key in Nelson’s victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, decommissioned and being towed off to be broken up. In this part of Skyfall, Bond is in less than perfect health and is being tested to see if he is fit for active duty. The sight of this painting might well set him contemplating his place in the world. Spy photos indicate that after this scene, Bond might walk out into Trafalgar Square and look up at Nelson standing high over London. It’s interesting that after the issues of the film have been resolved, we will see Bond similarly standing high over the London skyline.

[DamnCoffee]

Very interesting, thank you.

The Skyfall issue of Total Film is out, by the way. One of my friends has it, but hasn't had a chance to read it yet. So he didn't get back to me on anythng.

[Shrublands]

I got it yesterday.

[DamnCoffee]

Any new pics?

[Shrublands]

Just the National Gallery one. The report is an interesting read, but nothing we on this forum don't already know.

I like this reasoning a lot!
