Damn, this looks badass already and we haven't even seen a trailer yet! Some new photos, both official stills and set photos, have arrived online recently for Sam Mendes' Skyfall, or Bond 23, the new James Bond film now shooting in London starring Daniel Craig once again as 007. We've been teased for a while with a single photo of Bond here or there, but now we finally have a big batch of 9 photos, some featuring Bond in action, others showing Ralph Fiennes, Judi Dench as M, and Bond girl Naomie Harris as Eve. This is looking better and better the more they shoot, can't wait to see an actual trailer. Check out the shots below!
New photos originally come from SlashFilm and Empire. Click on any link to see a few more B-T-S shots.
Skyfall is being directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Jarhead, Revolutionary Road, Away We Go), from a script by John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. Helen McCrory and Ola Rapace will appear in Skyfall, joining previously announced stars Daniel Craig as James Bond 007, Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Naomie Harris, Bérénice Marlohe, with Ben Whishaw. You can also follow the twitter @007 for updates as well, as they've been tweeting production photos and more info. Columbia Pictures already has Skyfall set to hit theaters on November 9th. We'll continue you to keep you updated on all things Bond, as it looks like 2012 will be a big year for Agent 007.

I seriously cannot fucking wait! Mendes will give us an epic Bond film.

Same here (love that last shot, BTW). Have you read Deaver's CARTE BLANCHE yet? It's a pretty cool update of Bond.

I've said it before and I'll say it again....Daniel Craig contains and exudes absolute none of the grace, wit, humor, severity and charm of the James Bond character. When Desmond Llewelyn died, so did the franchise. Craigs turn as "Bond" are just modern spy movies with the Bond name and characters tacked on and nothing more.

Totally - Michael Fassbender would make the perfect Bond.

Well you two can get onto a ship called "Cry me a river" and the rest of us enjoying a new Bond movie. Bye.

Will Smith has grace, humor, severity, and charm. When does Daniel Craig's contract expire?!?!

If you dont like Craig version of James Bond then dont watch it. No body put a gun to ur head,

Yep. And he's pretty much like the Bond that's written in Fleming's books.

Stop talking out of your arse Voice of Reason. Have you read any of Ian Flemming's books? Craig is a superb bond. Mean and moody. Bring on Skyfall. This will be excellent.

Exactly. I bet you very few have bothered to actually read them. Bond was never supposed to be as humorous as Roger Moore was , nor was he supposed to be a 'pretty face' ala Pierce B. While QOS was not amazing, I thought overall Daniel is doing a great job. BTW Michael Fassbender would not make a good Bond but a great villain. Loved him when he got all mad as Magneto. 🙂

You nailed it--how many of them have actually _read_ Fleming's novels? I only started reading them after Dalton's two films, but realized that HE "got it", and that Craig has nailed it as well. Fleming himself said it--he saw Bond as "sort of a blunt instrument....who would get into these bizarre and twisted adventures in which he would have to shoot his way out of".

your grace, wit, humor, severity, and charm never existed until the fifth book *not including the several short stories that required Moneypenny to crack his shell.* the old bond movies are just further examples that the 60s-90s had very few good adaptations of books so your attempted argument is invalid.......

You are totally wrong on this. You are a douche.

Hahah, thats fine, all of you. I'm just one Bond fan chatting Bond to other fans. I just think the world pined for "darker" movies and the studios obliged them with a jacked, intense, pursed-lips and rigid Bond by Craig breaking the mold starting with Casino Royale. I love the books and have read the entire catalog, but the movies are a different as are all movies based on books. And the Craig Bond is different as are all Bonds...and this one Bond does nothing for me or embolden my love for the franchise, the books or the history. Yall cant take my opinion from me. You can try...but you can't.

Looks amazing! How does Judi Dench not age? Still looks the same as she did in GOLDENEYE.
DAVIDPD on Apr 11, 2012

I want to hug her. She seems like such a nice woman.

So what you're saying is...I get to shake Judi Dench?

This film looks like it's going to be great. I love Daniel Craig as Bond. http://blog.moviepass.com

This looks even better then CR. I love the 60s yet modern gritty vibe in those images. Mendez will surely not disappoint. If your no fan of DC as Bond well then it's pointless to bitch about it. This is his 3rd one and most likely he will do 2 more. Just try to enjoy the movies...

Hey--if the Aston Martin is in it, I'm happy. And I like Craig as Bond. If others don't like him, fine--just don't watch the films and quit bitching.

I can't wait!!Craig in my opinion has been the most exciting Bond outside of Roger Moore...

please oh please be as good as Casino Royale!! images look great but im anxious to know more about the story.

I am absolutely excited about this. However, I find it sort of amusing that the pictures suggest there will only be one facial expression in the whole film. Never mind. Love the car.
Felix Naumann on Apr 11, 2012

Daniel Craig has quite a range of facial expressions. CR proved that. Those photo's don't though. Is Naomie Harris still playing Moneypenny as reported earlier? If so, strange to see her with a gun.

Ugh, Daniel Craig is such a suave motherfucker. That man knows how to wear the shit out of a suit as well as look badass all bloodied up. Now, excuse me while I breathe into a paper bag.

Agreed, seeing the last pic I had an irrational urge to lick my computer screen.

Craig does well, but no-one seems to give him credit for it. Does that last photo remind anyone else of the underground scene in Carte Blanche novel?
Merc on Apr 11, 2012

Yeah--I just realized that! CB was pretty damned good, BTW...

this daniel craig is a sell out bond. yessur, sold the old martini down the river and is now a heineken drinker. why? money. this stinks. can anyone tell me another reason why?

Those images are pretty damn wonderful. My fingers are crossed that the movie is just as cool, with both style and substance. I have no reservations about the acting - I just hope they made sure the script was up to scratch before they started shooting this time and that Sam Mendes knows how to shoot action better than Marc Forster. Because, while Casino Royale kicked my ass, Quantum of Solace sucked it. 🙂

It don't get any better than Craig and that "original" BMT 216A - DB5. Well, maybe the two Bond girls but it stops there.
