The Yupland character has sprung to my mind in relation to Fiennes’ character as the bits of information have surfaced.

How much of that old Bond 17 treatment do you see here?

Is Séverine starting to look worryingly robotic in that airport stuff? Is she herself the secret gadget?

Strange, this photo with Fiennes taking action. Could he be THE bad guy after all? Could he be revealed at the end as... ESB?

I don't think even Mendes has the skills to convince me that Blofeld has been undercover as a British government agent for a significant period of time!

[SecretAgentFan]

Of course, I was saying that with tongue-in-cheek.

Then again, if this film is "Blofeld begins" the character could be introduced as someone who starts from being a British goverment official turning to the dark side...

Personally, I would love the twist at the end that Bond may have done away with Silva... and then finding out that everything was planned by his real nemesis who is still very much alive and well.

[S K Y F A L L]

That is all very interesting because it sounds similar to what I've read about the origins of Blofeld.

it doesnt work since Blofeld cant just appear out of nowhere as Bond has not establish that part where Blofeld is the bad guy

[S K Y F A L L]

Why can't he be a traitor?

[007jamesbond]

Why can't he be a traitor?

the problem with traitor is it been done in QOS and DAD so it would be too close to do it again but DAD and QOS "traitor" was done poorly and not like other movies when there is a traitor it is more interesting.......if there is a traitor it should be done better than the previous two attempts

Like the Star Wars films in relation the Palpatine.....................no i get the feeling it has very very little to do with any white cats, think that is harping back to the old Roger Moore days..

This new pictures really make it look as though Ralph Fiennes is firing at Bond, does it not?

I don't think so. I think they're more likely to be covering each other. If they were firing at each other, I think the producers wouldn't have released these two photos concurrently. Probably the same location though, i.e. the Whitehall office building.

[DamnCoffee]

Nah, I don't think they're firing at eachother. BUT I've just noticed the bullet hole right next to Bond in the wall.

[Matt_13]

Was it just me, or did Fiennes have less hair and color in the scene of him in the underground bunker.

[DamnCoffee]

I seem to have the feeling that once Bond and M get to Skyfall lodge, they go into hiding for a good few months or so. Notice that they had snow machines for the assault. Unless the entire movie is set around December time, I'd be willing to bet that there's a time lapse of some sort. Which could explain Fiennes' longer hair.

[Royal Dalton]

It's probably just that the lighting's a bit harsher in the bunker shots.

[thecasinoroyale]

Seems like Fiennes is slouching down a little, aiming upwards and Bond is on the level.

What?

Question: When did the name Gareth Mallory first surface?

[Vauxhall]

The full name originally came from a leaked cast list obtained by a Bond collector's website. Additionally, a forum used posted a couple of months earlier that someone working on the film had told him that they believed Fiennes' character's name to be something like Mallory.

[JCRendle]

Kind of adds weight to the M rumours I guess, with a surname starting with M

[thecasinoroyale]

Would that not be too obvious thought, just as his surname begins with M, he is the prime person to take up the 'M' position?

I suppose it could be a big fat coincidence...

Yes, this silly notion that people only stand a chance of promotion to the top job at the SIS is if their name begins with the letter M is either absurd of the filmmakers to pursue or equally ridiculous for us to think some clue. Please – No.

Eh... and what about Moneypenny? Is that not a M? (sarcastic, obviously)

[thecasinoroyale]

Well if we find out Eve's surname begins with M then we are onto a winner with her too!

Is Gareth Mallory, Ralph Fienne's official character name, now? and Gareth Mallory what are you up too and why do you have a gun?

[univex]

Stupidly well done. As ever, I don´t see eye to eye with the man. Dench as M was never to my liking, although I do like her as an actress. The poem bit is priceless.

[MattofSteel]

Those memes never cease to be amazing to me.

Hitler seems like more of a Hargreaves guy.

Yes it is, several sites I've been on have Gareth Mallory listed as the character name.

Since the trailer has been seen I've been thinking maybe Bond breaks out of the interrogation and has a shoot out with Mallory.

The John Cleese reference, very funny. The guy who stands up for George Lazenby, lol. You got to love Hitler's passion for Jedi. "What happened to the days of "Here is your mission Bond. Go do it and come back alive." Everyword of that made me laugh and cry laughing. He writes and makes a great comment on his poem.

Those memes never cease to be amazing to me.

I also love the Star Wars and Indiana Jones ones.

Does Garth and Gareth sound the same? Party on James and party on Gareth?...
