I am hoping that that the title sequence is old fashion no special effect no CGI......just like 60s and 70s days please!

I agree 007jamesbond, sometimes the CGI detracts from the style of the titles and it looks just like a glorious cartoon/video game sequence.

Granted, 'Casino Royale' blended live action and CGI, but it was dramatically different to do this, so I accepted it.

Guess we will wait and see...! Can this really be a 'classic' James Bond film in more ways than one?

I suppose that whoever is designing the title sequence will also be working on the gunbarrel as well...

I've warmed up to the MK12 sequence. At first I thought it was fairly bland and stereotyped, but I do like the direction they took as well as the font choice. However, I hope Kleinman will return. His work has been fantastic. Kleinman's involvement would also perhaps mean a traditional looking gun barrel a la the Brosnan films.

Hopefully something better. Never liked the lubed gunbarrel.

I always look forward to the title sequence. One of my favorite parts of a new movie. Just about every time I'm sitting in the theater and I'm engrossed by the 10 minute pretitle sequence I'm still (happily) surprised by the title sequence. "Oh yeah! I forgot we get one these!"

I know it's not going to happen, but I'd love it if they harked back to Dr. No, for the 50th Anniversary, and gave us an old mixed with new title sequence, including the James Bond theme instead of a title song, which would be left for the end credits.

Here's an example to explain my idea...

I liked the stop of the dots going across the screen, but the idea of clouds at the end for the title sequence was what got me. Naked girls falling from clouds? Yeah. I'm cool with that.

I think the Skyfall title sequence could be quiet elemental, with clouds for the title, also fire and water could be used, which would tie into parts of the film.

You know what, i wouldn't be surprised if this is what we end up seeing.

My original guess was the titles will be completely underwater, beginning with Bond falling over the waterfalls into the body of water in the PTS - and ending with him jumping out of the pool, and flipping his back to the camera (i.e. the first unofficial photo we saw). In between will be the aquatic swimming of the gorgeous women, with possibly scenes of Bond convulescing in the background. But my concern is, this could be too close to the title sequence of DAD. So I'm at a loss.

Underwater, a bit like the Thunderball titel sequence?

I have a feeling we might descend into the water at the bottom of the falls at the beginning of the titles. Then travel through swirling tunnels and channels of water as the credits appear, only to emerge from the waters of the Thames to see an establishing shot of the MI6 building at the end. - Just a thought.

Sounds a bit too much like the GoldenEye reloaded titles.

I hope not! That would be rubbish.

I was thinking 'GoldenEye: Reloaded' mixed with 'Thunderball'!

But i will be tricky, how to convey the themes of the film with (I presume) a watery themed title sequence? Saying that...it might not be watery at all....but I don't know. I have faith...they usally are pretty good sequences, design wise, as long as they stick to some coherence to the plot, not just random bullets / gun / girl images.
