James Bond In Skyfall - Part 7

[Roose Bolton]

The biggest WTF at the moment is how the Skyfall lodge actually fits in with everything going on with M and Silva.

In regards to that, I've had the idea whatever operation or deal M cooked up years ago took place at Skyfall manor, hence they named the operation after it. In the present day Bond and M are one the run and Silva traces them to their hiding spot, bringing it back to where it all essentially began.

But isn't the [BLACKOUT]SF lodge supposed to be Bond's ancestral home or something? Or was that just a rumor?[/BLACKOUT]

Yes it is. The character played by Finney will have something to do with it as well, I think.

 

[Gianakin_]

Ok. I wonder how THAT fits into the whole picture.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I think that's the henchman played by Ola Rapace with the sniper rifle, meeting his demise perhaps?

Maybe Bond shoots him from another building in that shot in PW's avvy?

I also noticed what looked like a Hind in the trailer, presumably attacking Bond manor?

 

[AnneFan]

Ok. I wonder how THAT fits into the whole picture.

I think Finney's character (a foreign office official) will have something to do with Skyfall lodge, giving it to Bond's family or something. M could've known him too. As Vesper alluded to in CR - "which means that you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity".

 

[Roose Bolton]

Curiouser and curiouser.

Also another thing I noticed from old set pics was that they had a specially marked tombstone for Monique Delacroix Bond. I wonder if they'll use the Soviet spy angle from the Deaver novel..

Yeah, a helicopter army led by Silva arrives.

Apparently the

DB5 is destroyed, but Bond *may* shoot one of the choppers down with a missile gadget before it goes up.

Interesting.

i also wonder what the questionnaire is for ?

maybe to verify that bond is in fact bond ? (dont know if that makes sense, but in one of the bourne movies is a similar thing where julia stiles has to answer to a weird question and the answer shows in what condition she is)

That's different. They weren't trying to identify Stiles' character. They wanted to know if she was under duress. Secondly Bond is right there for every one to see so they obviously know it's him. I think the word association test is to identify his state of mind.

Sounds cool, [BLACKOUT]does the DB5 see any action in the sequence except for being destroyed? [/BLACKOUT]

There is the drive to the manor, where M falls asleep in the passenger's seat. I think this is where they make a stop on the road, where Bond talks about his childhood over a drink of alcohol of some sort. There was talk of a car chase through the streets in the DB5, before they start their drive to the lodge. I think they pick the DB5 up while at Bond's flat.

That all sounds fantastic! [BLACKOUT]Those Bond/M scenes should be amazing. [/BLACKOUT]

 

[AnneFan]

I keep reminding myself that Bardem is in the movie. Incredible. If he's a scorned man getting revenge on MI6 and M in particular, he could really sink his teeth into this. He has said he's more of a heavyweight villain, in comparison to Greene and Le Chiffre who were more cogs in the wheel.

 

[AnneFan]

Personally, I'm intrigued as to how the new Q will be played. Any thoughts?

Forgot to give my opinion on this. They could reverse the whole dynamic. The young Q getting a little excited about the toys, and the serious Craig Bond telling him to get on with it.

 

[ChickenScratch]

Ah ok. I only saw the post where you asked "Has there ever been a Bond villain who's ever lived through a film? With the exception of Jaws and Blofeld? I'm drawing a blank "

I always found Tamil Rahni a pretty slippery villain and made a couple good appearances before he died in Nobody Lives Forever.

There's a new Q? I never knew this. I wonder when Moneypenny will make her way back.

Ben Whishaw.

Thanks. I'm so out of the loop regarding details on this movie.

Here's a Apple HD 1080p version of the teaser...

Hey Ajendo, you're using my avatar, right? I don't really mind if you are using my avatar, but let me know next time and maybe I can tailor it for you.

So, the plot involves an attack against MI6, right? It is probably the first time the agency has been under attack, and just like that renegade 006 in Goldeneye I think it really ups the ante by making MI6 the target and thus exposed everyone involved with the organization.

I don't see your name on it

DEAKINS. Holy **** that trailer was badass.

I just want to say that if you guys want a specific avatar for Skyfall, you can pm me and I'll work on it after work. In the meantime, I'm glad that you like my avatar and although I'm not as good a gif maker as Kane or Hunter Rider, it's a hobby of mine and I do enjoy working on them.
