Ahh right! Forgive me.

Also, anyone think that that looks more like a trailer screengrab? Than an actual still? Same goes for this...



Maybe it's just because of the widescreen ratio. Both shots look very trailer worthy though.

Any ideas on the weapon ?? not got best views but looks like sig 556.

I'm sure that one's from the trailer. I don't suppose they'd let Craig fire that machine gun for real in case he had his eye out. Those empty shells flying out are probably CGI add-ons.

Considering that Craig has said before that he likes doing dangerous scenes on his own, without a double or CGI, I say this is genuine.

You don't fire an assault rifle with real ammunition without any earmuffs. Especially not in a closed room.

How do you think they've done it all these years then?

Believe me, they didn't. I fired a SIG (which the one above is) once with no muffs on. I wouldn't do it a second time without being in danger. (Bond is, that's why he does.)

What makes you so sure that he doesn't wear any?

Muffs can't be removed that easily. he might wear plugs, but only because blanks are much quieter than the real ones.

Looks like the HK416 to me.

CONFIRMED: It is indeed the HK416.

Earplugs are not difficult to hide. They now make low profile skin-tinted ones as well.

[Marketto007]

Marketto, on behalf of CBn...you are now to be known around these boards as simply, a "Legend!"

Thanks for them wall-paper worthy pics!

Thanks for the kind words mate.

Is that possibly Skyfall Lodge?



What's that story with this British bulldog?

[Vauxhall]

My initial thought was that the picture of Bond with the assault rifle is probably from scenes inside Skyfall Lodge. As for the British bulldog, I doubt there will be too much of a story behind it; the production designer probably thought it would be an amusingly patriotic trinket, paperweight or desk tidy for M to have.

[DamnCoffee]

Personally I think there's a bomb inside it, planted by Silva, which sets off the massive explosion at MI6. It also serves as a reference to Britians downfall and the recession.

It's just hilarious that they are both making the same expression. It's a wonderful nicknack and was the first thing that stood out to me when I saw the picture. Gotta love it.

"Ohhhh yes!"

[00Twelve]

Anybody else think this looks as vintage amazing as I do? This is what I picture while reading Goldfinger as Bond tracks where Auric makes his SMERSH drop.

[S K Y F A L L]

The bulldog on M's desk I mention because I imagine it will come up in a interview, etc but I've been wrong before. The photo of Bond stacking out Severine; looks kind of creepy and strange to me like she is seducing Bond because she knows hes watching her.

I see what you mean.

Well; we don't know it's a closed room; and he could be wearing earplugs. It's not impossible.
Somehow I doubt Roger Moore's machine gun was enhanced with CGI.

It certainly does.

That's the image S K Y F A L L, very nice touch to link the eras I feel.

[S K Y F A L L]

Lets not forget Brosnan.

[thecasinoroyale]

I doth my cap to old Brosnan!

Fantastic iconic imagery there.

[marktmurphy]

Eek! Cravat alert!!

[Shrublands]

Eek! Cravat alert!!

Yes, I always thought that cravat was a terrible, foppish mistake for Bond.

[Marketto007]

My hat is off to you sir.

Well done!

Marketto, are you some cyber-genius? Very nice work.

That tagline is perfect by the way. Love it.

[Marketto007]

Cyber-genius, lol.

Thanks mate, glad you guys like my efforts in the past months. I'm on CBn since 2002, but I feel I am really doing something for us, Bond fans, just now.

Você ficou lenda nos últimos meses. Brasil a dar cartas no mundo todo. You´re the man. Que ano este eh? Viagem a Londres, melhor página sobre Skyfall (devia ter um prémio), ... Abraço. Nice work, as always my friend. And you´re in all the forums, that´s incredible, ajb, mi6, Cbn, ... Espectáculo! Good show Marketto. You, Germanlady and Luigi should be getting Bond fan awards by now. Cheers.

Disagree! I've always been looking a dark green cravat just because I've got a royal blue shirt and a crew neck sweater! LOL
