Skyfall. What does it mean? Is it a secret code word? A weapon? We'll find out soon enough. 007.com has just unveiled the first official teaser poster for James Bond's Skyfall, being directed by Sam Mendes (interview on Skyfall here), starring Daniel Craig as agent 007 for his third time. I've loved almost all the artwork they've made as part of the Daniel Craig series of Bond movies, and this new poster is just as good. This has such a classic, sleek, badass, awesome Bond feel to it and I totally love it, honestly. It's dark, it's eye-catching, it's the Bond gun barrel view, I want the print of this up on my wall right away. Bond is back!
Thanks again to 007.com for debuting this, where you can download the high res version of it. Thoughts?
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. Skyfall will once again star Daniel Craig as James Bond 007, along with Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench as M, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Naomie Harris, Bérénice Marlohe, Helen McCrory, Ola Rapace with Ben Whishaw. You can also follow the official twitter @007 for updates as well, they've been tweeting photos and more. Columbia Pictures, Eon Productions and MGM have Skyfall set to hit US theaters on November 9th this fall. We'll continue to keep you updated on all things Bond. Read my on set experience from Istanbul and stay tuned.

I'm looking forward to this. But, still I don't like where the Bond-series has gone with Craig and this reboot. Semi-Bourne.

The first two did exactly what had to be done. After that disaster that were the last few Bronsman Bond films (minus Goldeneye), the series needed to be grounded. However, I think Sam Mendez understands to bring back that old Bond flair...I fully trust in this director, 100%.

I feel TND and TWINE were uninspired but Brosnan still charmed his way through them as Bond. They wre run-of-the-mill but so are most Moore-films also. DAD is the worst CGI-infected crap ever though. I think Casino Royale fel too little as Bond, it was too long and had sequences that didn't go anywhere. It had a bad written script but Craig gave it something interesting. QoS I felt had more to it in one way, but director-wise it was a trainwreck. And as short QoS was - Casin Royale was too long. And, I've always felt Brosnan should have gotten one last chance after DAD with a proper director/Script.

That's why I like them too. Craig is Bond--the tough, driven man that Ian Fleming created.

Craig's definitely not my favorite Bond by any means, but I am looking forward to Mendes take on this franchise

... classic and simple. Nice. Actually Craig is the only Bond I can stand, so of course I'm looking forward to this.

Although it may be hard to surpass Casino Royale, Skyfall has the potential to be one of the best Bond movies ever. Looks awesome!

I also think Skyfall has a great potencial and I'm really interested, but the teaser poster doesn´t seems bright enough. I just remember the poweful one of Casino Royale!

I guess it's a teaser so it doesn't really show anything much about the story.

How is this poster AWESOME??? Seriously, if it was any other franchise y'all be whining how generic it is and totally done before like 22 times. Sure it's a good, underline good Bond poster... but that's it.

Seriously, if it was, “any other franchise,” how could it possibly have been, "totally done before like 22 times".

I was implying if there was 22 Potter, Twilight, Hunger games, or even Batman films then this poster would been bashed to death for being called awesome. How about the bazzilion posters for Potter, Twilight, Hunger games, etc. Even The Expendables has about 50 different posters that are almost identical (I'm exaggerating but it's true). Granted, this is THE ICONIC SHOT (pun intended) of Bond, but it doesn't make it awesome. Final argument: How about the first poster for The Dark Knight Rises was just the batman logo and nothing else. Or the Star Trek logo for the next movie? Does that sound Awesome?

On the other hand... this poster reminds me of Millennium (1989), starring Kris Kristofferson: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097883/ Anyone else?

Please, Daniel Craig is in it. Wearing a suit. Holding a gun. That makes it all kinds of awesome!#fangirlhysterics
