I suppose that will help us understand if Patrice is a big named assassin, and he's struck before Shanghai, why Bond is after him for so long...

I strongly think this is the first scene of Skyfall - in Turkey, before the bike stuff.

I agree. I think the film might open with Bond in the corridor and our introduction to him is the blue eyes stepping out of the shadow into the light. (Hopefully after a nice Istanbul panorama shot...)

Sounds good to me. I'll go along with that. So, that building is probably part of the cafe, do we think?

Here's our first blurry look at Albert Finney as Kincade, in case anybody blinked and missed him:

Thanks - I'd missed Kincade!

Don’t know about it being part of the cafe, the corridor scene is just before the scene with Bond and the man slumped in the chair (I'd say) which looks like a study, perhaps in an apartment or house. It could be a hotel room with a sort of writing desk.

[Royal Dalton]

Yeah, I'm leaning towards your hotel room theory.

There's supposed to be a Turkish businessman involved in this sequence, played by an actor called Mihai Arsene. But I'm not sure if he's the man in the chair, or not. It doesn't look that much like him, but it's difficult to tell.

[thecasinoroyale]

Oh nice, thanks Royal Dalton! Looks like Bond's protecting an off-duty Father Christmas!

Should be a very interesting character...

Is this inside SF lodge? Looks more like the underground bunker to me.

The casino scene looks like Bond was just voted off the island. Can anyone tell me what he says after, "agent"? I'm just guessing that the scene of Bond running out of a cave with a fireball behind him is part of the underground scene.

I didn't notice he was holding M, whats that all about?

[thecasinoroyale]

He says "Provacateur."


Agent Provacateur is, basically, a very well known British brand of very sexy and luxery lingerie! www.agentprovocateur.com (Careful on there!)

It's VERY apt for Bond to mention this - a hint at Craig's dry style of Bond wit.

[DamnCoffee]

Didn't see M against the wall there. Oh god.

Inside Skyfall Lodge, I believe. Quite a few of the sets appear to have similar interiors.

Thanks TheCasinoRoyale and Vauxhall. So I guess its safe to assume Albert's character is probably only in scenes at SF Lodge?

Haha Mharkin, I can just hear Judi saying, "I'm to bloody old for this."

Oh I know, I didn't forget I was just going to replace the S with this '$' and realized I probably shouldn't.

True, I got censored the first time around, with the s and then the t at the end and the**

In another note, I really love how Bond casually walks into a room, shoots twice and goes on. All in front of another dude wielding a gun.

I second that! One of the best Bond shots we've got of him - you can't dream of doing something as cool as that they way Craig does. How casual does he look? BAM BAM, never taking his eye off the target - I wonder what the context is why he is so calm, almost walking through.

[DamnCoffee]

Just noticed the shot of Bond punching the bodyguard in Macau during the little montage at the end. Which oddly enough, is in a different aspect ratio.

[MattofSteel]

In that outdoor shot with dinner-jacket-and-no-tie-Bond (Hashima?), when he turns around and levels the gun, it is most definitely a Walther P99. Interesting. Perhaps he's mixing and matching the Walther models in Skyfall, a la the Benson books or TND?

[JCRendle]

The imagery in this is fantastic. I especially love this shot.

[thecasinoroyale]

Really cranks up the severity, danger on home soil and cultural relevance of the film JC I think that shot. Very chilling.

[havok_007]

Love the teaser. Not much of the bond girls yet, or Javier.

Pretty sure when bond is being strangled under the water its Ola Rapace's character Patrice, if someone hasn't mentioned that before.

It seems like Bond might get a bump on his head and/or lose his memory- the way his face responds to "Skyfall." As if he is trying to remember something.
Maybe Bond has sorted out most of the mission but has to remember how to finish it off in some way shape or form. Or he has found the answers but forgot them.
'Skyfall'
...
'Done'
He then walks off and gives a possible look of frustration to the one way window. Something to think about.

I really liked the electronic theme that starts around 1:05 and then bond's line "some men are coming to kill us, we're going to kill them first."
It gave me chills. Despite what a lot of people are saying about the lack of bond theme and the how the music sucks, I think its a great modern twist and gives it an awesome feel.

Overall the trailer is great. Some really powerful images, all of them are striking in different ways.

[Vauxhall]

Possibly worth saying that I don't think Bond will respond "done" and then immediately stand up to walk away in the final version of the movie. It looks like it's been edited that way for the trailer.

[Melancholy Productions]

Well, awesome, amazing stuff there as almost everyone has said

Surprised no one has mentioned the music cue at the start of the trailer with Bond standing on the building and running in the park (very glad to see some of Bond's 'home life' by the way).

Sounds like a bit of the Bond theme, but softer and solemn sounding. Is this a new piece of music, or from a previous film and I've just not realised it?

[Matt_13]

Okay. I'm back and I'm much more awake. JESUS. Alright. First off...JESUS. Second, that was the coolest, most exciting, slickest, and all out most Bondian thing I've ever seen. The theme was in there at the very end if you listen closely, as well. I know I have more to say on this, I just need time to digest. For now, I think "wow" will suffice. I knew it'd look good...but not like this. I want more.

Right.

Now I remember.

This does look lighter. Craig appears to be infinitely more confident in himself, too. The grimness of the first Quantum trailer is very offputting when stacked up against this. This is grit done right. It doesn't have a morbid tone to it. Bravo.

[PPK_19]

Empire magazine's Skyfall trailer break down, scene by scene. Very revealing! They raise some interesting points!

[Matt_13]

Some good stuff there. I was wondering why they bothered showing that target. Interesting that the bullets appear to have missed.

[Royal Dalton]

“Some men are coming to kill us,” says Bond to someone (it looks like it could be Fiennes).

He says that to Finney, surely? Whose response should be something like:

"Aye, and I've got just the thing for ye here, wee Jimmy. Your old pa's elephant gun!"

[Matt_13]

We also briefly get our first look at Hashima. It's one shot at the end of Bond in his tux without the tie, turning with a pistol in hand. That's Hashima.

[Glockenspiel]

BE CAREFUL, HUGE SPOILER TO COME

When Bond answers "done", do you think it's the end of the movie?
If so, that means that M is not dead...

The man falling from the building seems to be the one who carried the gun and who targeted I don't know who (Severine?) before Bond stopped him.

Not the end of the movie. Nearer the start.

[thecasinoroyale]

I think Bond is talking to Mallory (Fiennes) when he says "Some men are coming to kill us..."

It makes sense of the pictures with Bond next to the bullet hole (same suit) aiming his pistol to our left, and Mallory aiming his gun, aiming to our right. What men, and why, I can't wait to find out!
