Need I say more? Well, apart from it being a great idea, and make sure your sound is on.

 

The opening sequence to the website still gives me goosebumps...

Lots to discover in there, finding your way through the priest hole to the moor, then on to the chapel is very rewarding. That's where the best videos are hidden.

Thanks so much for this!

It's a great little find, and from what the Mendes audio snippets reveal, from I think is the commentary on the film, I can't wait to hear it in full as the story unfolds.

 

It's also helped boost my appreciation for the finale and the lodge itself.

 

My Advice:

  • Go to the Gun Room and click on the tall cabinet
  • Go to the Parlour and click on the books next to the armchair

:)

What a fantastic site; full of goodness. Thanks for linking.

 

I liked this shot, where you can see the Porsche 928 which stood in for the DB5 in its final moments.

Neat little site. I love the hidden stuff - I missed most of it first time through (very lazy with my mouse!) so make sure you check out each page thoroughly! If you haven't been yet and are at work, get ready not to get any work done for a little while......

I really enjoyed the bit about the making of the main title sequence. It confirms what I thought about it in that the sequence is basically a nightmare that Bond is having.

These guys are fantastic. This is wonderful stuff. A lot of new goodies to check out, including some vid blogs we never saw during the production and some really marvelous concept art! THIS is fan service.

Fantastic bit of bonus marketing. Wasn't expected this. A real treat.

 

John Logan discussing the chapel scene is excellent. Very glad that the screenplays are in his hands now. Also some nice tributes to Judi Dench in there. Hopefully these are all compiled nicely on the Blu-ray

 

There's also a brief clip of Judi doing the clapperboard for one of the Lodge scenes. She says: "Cubby 141 Casino Take 2". Presumably this is EON-speak for "Scene 141C. Take 2". Love the little insights like that.

Wonderful! I wish this little thing could be turned into an interactive CD somehow!

I always forget about that wonderful site for Casino Royale. It really is the right time to be a Bond fan.

Quite right Matt.. the Casino website was pretty good, a bit limited in the hidden features If I remember correctly.. Quantum's site was definitely a let down though..

A good Bond website? TWINE with the MMPR (Miss Moneypenny Rolodex). Full of Bond content, I'm sure you remember. :D

I vaguely remember the MMPR. I think that was out before I knew how to use the web properly.

What a lovely site. Lots of little goodies scattered around the place. As a fan of the third act, this is right up my alley. 

 

Newman's 'Skyfall' is just amazing, it really captures the soul and history of the house and grounds.

That's my second favourite track after "The Bloody Shot" - it's so hauntingly beautiful, I could listen to it on loop for hours. The arrangement is so good, it's beyond words.
