I imagine we might be needing this in the foreseeable future. Although obviously we can only go on reported descriptions from Comic-Con for now.

However, good to have some further clarity about this mysterious flash drive.

[Shrublands]

Yes, I’d thought that the flash drive might contain an agent 'death list' and that’s why Bond lets people think he’s dead. The identities of agents and their locations is quite close - It would become a death list in the hands of the enemy. It would also be a good reason why Bond lets people think he has been killed.
Subsequently, Bond, (even in less than perfect health), could be very valuable to MI6 if all the other top agents have been exposed.

And don´t forget that a flash drive usually is very small to be inside a box...

Yes, there must be something else in that box. By the end of the film, the original information on the flash drive has been compromised and made public, so just getting it back would be quite pointless anyway.

[S K Y F A L L]

The flash drive reminds me of Mission Impossible but anyway it seems like the rumors about the coffins could very well be true.

Naked pictures of M?

Please, GOD NO!

By the size of the box, they would probably be hard copies, if you’ll forgive the expression.

[S K Y F A L L]

So that image of Q is probably him looking at M as he discovers the nude photos.

[JCRendle]

Why would anyone even think of that?!

[x007AceOfSpades]

God I can't stop laughing!

[007jamesbond]

hm.......it seems very similar to that of Mission Impossible but who know it could be a diversion for something bigger I doubt Sam mendes would approve a plot that is close to MI plot

Maybe it has a really big data-cable...

My eyes!

[x007AceOfSpades]

I'll second that PPK_19

[Matt_13]

Wow.

[univex]

Wait till you see Helen Mirren

[S K Y F A L L]

WOW Dench did look great and I mean she aged well I would say.

I was thinking there will be a lot more to the plot because having all your agents on 'one list' seems a little unlikely in the case that it was exposed, unless that is why M is in so much trouble for having this list in the first place. I understand her position but still you would think it would be a bad idea to have so much information on one memory stick or whatever they use.

[JimmyBond]

I think the list just has the identities of all the agents that are currently undercover. And would be most at risk if they were exposed, especially the details of their asignments.

[Chief of SIS]

Well.....there's that......

[S K Y F A L L]

Good point JimmyBond.

Seems like we have news about the Second Trailer via the BBFC and our CBn main page:

After the recent confirmation of a new trailer for the latest Bond epic ‘Skyfall’, the BBFC have officialy released the runtime. The second ‘Skyfall’ trailer, has been classified as a PG and runs for 3 minutes 1 second. So expect a high dose of Bond action. The trailer should be online within the next week or so, but some sources speculate that the trailer could be online very shortly. The second trailer for ‘Skyfall’ is also rumoured to be attatched to The Dark Knight Rises, the last film in the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy.


'The Dark Knight Rises' sounds a perfect marketing tool to use for Bond awareness - I'll be seeing 'TDKR' on Friday, 9am so will let you know if the trailer is on!

[MattofSteel]

A brief update from my end (Canada). I'm attending a 6:30pm EST corporate pre-release screening of TDKR on Thursday night, in IMAX. The theatre manager just told me he doesn't receive the trailer packs until tomorrow (Wednesday), and it's at the discretion of the company holding the screening as to whether or not they event want trailers run in front of the presentation.

I asked about the odds of Skyfall's 3-minute trailer in front of the general IMAX release starting Friday, and he told me it's at the theatre chain's head office's discretion as to what they play and where - apparently, all the outlets are divided into zones and they're just assigned certain trailer combinations.

So, I went from thinking "Sweet, Skyfall trailer AND new Batman!" to "Goddamnit, I probably won't get the Skyfall trailer this week" in a manner of seconds.

[S K Y F A L L]

3 Minutes! That is great news all around thanks for the update thecasinoroyale.

[Mr.Bond220]

I'm seeing TDKR midnight on friday so I'll post with my phone right after the trailers if it is shown!

[S K Y F A L L]

I hope it appears online this weekend.

[MattofSteel]

I have a strong feeling this is EON's answer to TDKR's pre-released prologue (a "more than a trailer" treat without revealing any actual parts of the film, given that the PTS itself is apparently quite revealing to the story), and that they'll be diligent about keeping any and all digital or leaked copies offline.

[S K Y F A L L]

If it is playing before TDKR then we`ll be getting a trailer hopefully online right? Unless they don't want it online?

[Vauxhall]

Exactly, but I think they'll know that if they try to keep it off the internet, bootleggers will try their hardest to record it illegally and put it into the public domain. As a result, I'd expect an online release of the trailer at some point in the next few weeks, perhaps as soon as next week, but I'm obviously only speculating.

The main thing we need to find out first is whether this is intended only as an IMAX exclusive or whether it will ultimately gain general release as well.
