Either way, that whole sequence reads to me like Bond rehabilitation in The Man With The Golden Gun (Novel).

Also the 007 Legends tie in is that Bond is drowning and having flash backs of previous missions, so are we to assume that at some point in Skyfall Bond is drowning? Sorry if this was already pointed out at some point.

Anyone know when the full trailer is coming...?

[x007AceOfSpades]

Anyone know when the full trailer is coming...?

I assume in August and to be attached with Sony Picture's Total Recall.

Really August? thats seems pretty far away. I figured maybe around the end of June to mid July, But they have been keepin pretty hush hush on SkyFall so in the end i guess they would do that if so.

There was talk that the Skyfall theatrical promo will be attached to MIB-3, which releases 25 May (USA). So, I'm wondering if this teaser-trailer is it, or could there be a more elaborate version in the cinema?

Anyone else feel like they are watching a Bourne movie?

No

I think this is almost certainly it, albeit released a few days early for Cannes.

I agree i cannot see the full trailer been released until they finish the editing of the film so maybe August time.

[MR. BOND 93]

Slightly underwhelmed since I thought the CR Teaser was much better, but I can definitely tell that this will be great. The Theatrical Trailer should really be something special.

[John Shaft]

All I have to say is that November isn't gonna get here fast enough!

[Double-0-7]

After watching it on my iPhone a few times at work it was great to see it in HD on a full monitor this evening. Looks very good - I like the way we see a few pieces from some of the various locales it was shot in.

Is it October yet?

[Harmsway]

Roger Deakins has sure brought a lot of style to SKYFALL.

[Chief of SIS]

I must say, there are some minute details that are very promising.

[Loomis]

Roger Deakins has sure brought a lot of style to SKYFALL.

Agreed. There are some wonderful visuals in this trailer.

My favourites are the shot at about 0:50 of Craig running towards the camera, and, especially, Craig floating towards the dragon's head with the fireworks going off in the sky (about 0:47), which is one of the most striking visuals I've ever seen in a Bond film (and will no doubt look awesome on the big screen).

As a Bond fan, I know that I'm biased, but this is pretty much the most exciting trailer I've ever seen. I must have watched it about ten times already and I'm still not tired of it. It's easily the best Bond teaser trailer since GOLDENEYE.

Granted, there's as yet no proof that Mendes and co. have reinvented the wheel, exactly - and the film's influences are immediately apparent (although not necessarily bad ones by any means). This trailer basically looks and feels like TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY meeting THE DARK KNIGHT, with a generous pinch of Bourne and a side order of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III. So far, so predictable. Didn't really expect anything else, to be honest.

What matters, though, is that it looks as though a cracking film is coming our way. Whether a dish is original matters less than how well it's prepared, and it appears that Mendes and Deakins are cordon bleu chefs at the top of their game.

The only bit I don't like is that sort of "smashing in" establishing shot of Shanghai at about 0.40 - somewhat hackneyed and Tony Scott-ish. But I do like the non-use of the James Bond Theme - most refreshing.

All in all, terrific stuff.

[Harmsway]

What really knocks me out with this trailer is that it seems like Bond is really out of practice. He's missing the target during target practice, is having to go running through London to get himself back in shape, and is scruffy looking. What happened to him?

Sure, we've seen Bond down-and-out before, but this is a far cry from Bond just hopping over to the local yacht club, getting a quick shave, and finding himself immediately back in business.

Of all the sequences in SKYFALL, I look forward to that moment (and what follows) the most. Pure Bondian exoticism, with the touch of the surreal one often finds in Fleming.

I suspect that's an edit just for the trailer (see also the speed-ramping in the CASINO ROYALE trailer). Doesn't seem like Mendes' style, really.

Agreed. If Casino Royal felt like Bond begins than this seems like The British Knight Rises! Scruffy, older, out of practice...But...I'm so not complaining. Loved every ounce of that trailer....best trailer since..I don't know...god that rules...all Brosnan's trailers except for DAD were damn good but since looks like art on every frame...just beautiful...I'm absolutely mental right now.

IGN has posted their break-down of the teaser trailer. Some spoilers are speculated within the break-down, so beware:

[DamnCoffee]

Interesting that everyone is saying that Silva is walking away from Skyfall lodge. Am I the only person who realises that he's walking towards it?

[Matt_13]

Oh yeah, it does look like he's walking toward it. Good looks.

[007jamesbond]

It definately Silva walking towards the Lodge. I bet that Bond has some plan to kill him or blow him up!

[Syndicate]

From what I take, it looks Bond is either interrogated for something he did wrong and it real bad, or he is interrogated for what he has founded. That he is keeping to himself and going about it his own way to stop it and end it. But M and the others will not let him and want to know what it is and go from there. Like what are the next steps that should be taken, and Bond has to follow and use it. It could also Bond might of been caputered again and some what brain washed and that is why he is interrogated, after he is rescued and checked out. Unless that person that asking the questions is someone Bond naped that real bad. And he don't like being interrogated at all. He likes to be the one that ask questions and play maine games with people.

[thecasinoroyale]

I still can't wait to see the word-association scene, I can't get over how brilliant Craig is from what we've seen. The cool and casual way he answers to the words, but that look when "Skyfall" is mentiond...it's electric, and so powerful how his face drops and you can just see the fear / shock! This makes me want to see it even more!

And as 'Casino Royale's teaser was our first glimpse of portraying Craig as James Bond, they had to go heavy with the action and the pulsating music to convince us Bond IS Back! Now, I think this is so much more stylish, so much more Craig, and so much more our Bond that we don't need the frills to convince us we have our man. Love it!

Actually, the trailer essentially reminds me INCEPTION (which is a great thing). Same colors, same cinematography. Good point.

[smudge76]

I don't think Bond is out of sorts at all, i have just re watch the trailer and there is no hint of him suddenly losing his weapon handling skills, and you must remember that DC version is a complete upgrade of the 007 make up, trying to add a slight bit of realism (as its what film fans want today which was brought about by Bourne films). The general public are not going to belive that Bond is just in top physical shape without doing the work hence he runs he keeps fit because that would be expected of someone in his nature of work. The moment he was not in shape and he began to lose it in regards weapon handling skills he be out on his ear (bond or no bond). I actually think Mendes has done what he does best and has added the little missing pieces that you never see (bond going for a run to keep fit), Bond with a bit of extra growth and why not (i do when i am on leave). It is classic Mendes with the little added touches.

[smudge76]

However i take back the ref to marksman ship as you can see entries that have clearly missed so that could be bond missing the tgt

[Major Tallon]

Wait, I think I'm missing something. During the word association part. When the interviewer says 'Skyfall', I'm hearing Bond's response to be 'Done.' But the UK Daily Mail is reporting it as 'Gun'? Or was that a misquote a few posts back?

The Daily Mai's wrong. It's "Done."

Anyone else feel like they are watching a Bourne movie?

No

Absolutely no.

[The Shark]

Don't agree with that at all. Deakins's cinematography here looks far more colourful, exotic, and soulful than any of Pfister's work in INCEPTION.

[d21089]

I see more of the Dark Knight thing than Inception but some shots like the one of Severine standing with the window broken of her apartment/hotel room and the man falling from the building are very inception-y - There is a definite Nolan vibe to the whole thing though- also im pretty sure Silva? is walking away from the house because the collar is facing the camera

What first stood out to me was the rooftop scene showing Bond from behind. Immediately I'm reminded of the Pam Landry "You Look Tired" scene (Bourne), or even Spy Game in the FujiFilm rooftop sequence. Sure movies always borrow a bit from one another, but Quantum and Sky are beginning to look manufactured rather than orginal. Some interjection of comedy is an essential part of the series...I'm not sure if I see where that will come into play.

Can anyone speculate as to why the films have become decidedly dark? Was Dr. NO a dark movie for its time? Perhaps the movies have spanned over so many years, one can't fully comprehend their evolution unless they saw each movie when it was first released.

I'll be at the theater the day Skyfall comes out...I just hope to see the elements every Bond goer goes to see. The trailer doesn't show much hope.

[Shrublands]

Whilst we're on the subject of what “every Bond goer” wants - I’m a Bond goer and the teaser trailer gives me plenty of hope.
