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

Amateurs!


I'll pick it up and have a nosey!

[JCRendle]

I'm an Empire reader, any chance of a breakdown of the TF article? The prices these magazines are asking, I won't get both.

[Matt_13]

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.

I like this reasoning a lot!

Boom.

Very smart.

Total Film is a pathetic film magazine.

I'm an Empire subscriber and can honestly say that TF are always about a month behind on any set report. Empire has been, and always will be, the best when it comes to exclusive pics and info. Remember the exclusive Empire cover i posted, with DC on the over in a classic Bond pose, a la Connery? And the mind-bogglingly detailed set report with detailed descriptive firsts on ALL the scenes, i.e. Shanghai, London etc?

Don't waste your money on Total Film. And if you must, use it line the dog basket instead.

[S K Y F A L L]

I can't wait until we get one here in Canada.

Fantastic thinking, Shrublands. There's bound to be reasoning behind the painting selection in the film. Everything is chosen for a reason. Thematically and in terms of the timeline, it sounds like you're right on the money.

[Royal Dalton]

Could be a subtle nod to You Only Live Twice, too, with Bond's death and rebirth, and Bond having "The Nelson Touch".

[Vauxhall]

It's refreshing to finally have someone called Nelson potentially involved in the world of James Bond whose first name isn't Barry.

Perhaps I'm taking too much from what admittedly are only theories at this stage, but if Mendes, the producers and writers have included these sorts of detailed themes in SKYFALL, I'm thrilled not only for the movie itself but also the future of the franchise as a whole; it seems a definite new standard for film-making of Bond movies is being forged by the current team.

The Craig era has established a number of benchmarks already, yet I have to agree with you, Vaux. Skyfall is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic Bond films ever produced, not just on a technical level, but a thematic one, as well. Casino Royale represented a changing of the winds in this universe, boasting our first early glimpses of the artistry to come. I think Quantum was another step in the right direction with the hiring of Forster, who, despite some breathtaking cinematography chopped to bits by spotty editing, was ultimately let down by the writer's strike more than anything else. With Skyfall, we have all the pistons firing at last. This will be good.

Entirely agree Matt. CASINO ROYALE sowed the seeds, QUANTUM OF SOLACE continued along the path, and hopefully SKYFALL will bring all those ingredients together. Naturally, there will be complaints from the 1% that there's not enough cheesy humour and silly gadgets, but I think the majority of Bond fans are ready for a more intelligent standard for the movies now, so here's hoping!

[Shrublands]

Vauxhall and Matt - I agree too. I couldn't be happier about the way Skyfall seems to be shaping up.

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

So... no more pics in Total Film besides de museum one?

[Marketto007]

For those interested, here we have the Total Film scans.

New image of Bond and M infront of the DB5 on the third page of that article. Thanks for the scans!

Thanks Marketto!

Glad you posted them, I'm more of an 'Empire' man myself.

Bond looks as tough as nails in that shot.

[S K Y F A L L]

I don't think that 'Total Films' comes to Canada. : (

[DamnCoffee]

Not sure I'm going to post this, because it hasn't been officially released, but I've just seen a Skyfall Storyboard on Tumblr from the London Sequence.

Bond says "Q, get me Tanner."

and Q replies with "Bond, he's going after M."

The first shot is Bond in the Underground, the second is a close up of images on a monitor, then we have a shot of Bond looking to the tube train and seeing Silva.

I'm not too sure whether it's Legit or not, but it looks it.

Nice work as ever Marketto. Thanks.

I think it's Q who says all that, Harkers.

[DamnCoffee]

Hmmm, why would Q want Tanner?

[Shrublands]

Hmmm, why would Q want Tanner?

Tanner is with M.
An assistant shows Q something on a computer, which alarms Q.
He then says to 'get Tanner' (as in, get him in contact with Tanner) and tells Bond that Silva is going after M.
Bond is tracking Silva through the Tube at the time and Q is in contact with him, guiding him.

[S K Y F A L L]

Is anyone else reminded of The Thomas Crown Affair? When is Canada going to get Bond on a cover of a magazine?

I've seen these leaked storyboard pics too,Harkers, on another site...but I won't post a link to it for fear of getting CBN in trouble..I'll leave others to do their own investigating...based on what's shown, I think we are in for one helluva pre-titles sequence and I'm LOVING how the shots of Bond chasing Silva on the Tube are shaping up..

[S K Y F A L L]

I know its probably a very common shot in hundreds of movies but here it is anyway.

[thecasinoroyale]

Aw, old Brosnan....the 'Skyfall' shot we could have had with him...
