First official picture of Bond at a swimming pool

It's a random picture of Craig sitting at a swimming pool...and yet when I look at it, it just screams Bond to me. Maybe it's the fact that I accepted Craig as Bond the second CR started, but that's just a really cool picture.

^I like it. It's pretty vivid. It screams, "I'm on 'em!"--as we see Bond about to break into a run, in hot pursuit of a lead....

Admiral_Young · January 15 2012, 06:26 AM

^ Exactly. A man about to go into action.

That's exactly what I thought. Maybe something is about to Skyfall out of his pants.

If there was a walther ppk by his side then yes

But to me it looks like it could be a biopic for a swimmer.

I do know that Craig needs a solid box office hit.

Cowboys and Aliens was panned and "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" underperformed.

I hope "Skyfall" breaks this chain

Some, but not much, talk from Ralph Fiennes:

http://www.totalfilm.com/news/ralph-...alks-skyfall-1

“I’m afraid that all I can tell you is I’m a government agent.”

Who becomes Blofeld, we tease cheekily?

“I can’t say anything. Well, I can tell you I think the script is very good indeed, and I think the character relationships are very well drawn and that it’s witty and funny – and yes, it has all the things that Bond fans want, which is action and events and locations.”

And Fiennes has no hesitance when we ask if the new film will be as hard-edged as Casino Royale: “Oh yes, this is hard-edged Bond…”

Has this official synopsis been revealed before? I think it sounds familiar but saw it recently posted as news on another site:

http://networkedblogs.com/sLtfT

"Daniel Craig is back as James Bond 007 in Skyfall, the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time. In Skyfall, Bond’s loyalty to M (Judi Dench) is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost."

Broccoli · January 18 2012, 12:09 AM

^ Yes. The synopsis has been discussed ten or so pages back, I think. Very generic, probably on purpose. Almost sounds like a description of The World is not Enough (although, the film's story will likely be nothing like that).

Admiral_Young · January 18 2012, 08:24 AM

I like how they're testing Bond's loyalty to M. Wasn't that the sub-plot of the first two films? Also her having to trust him? LOL.

Starkers · January 18 2012, 10:19 AM

Bond always seemed to trust M in CR and QoS

So, Eve isn't Moneypenny...

Apparently

Although it could still be misdirection.

Sigh, just for once I'd like it is a Bond girl didn't say "I'm a new kind of Bond girl, more 007's equal" in her interviews...face it, love, you're there to look pretty, probably shag 007 and possibly die a horrible death...

In the old films there seemed to be three women for those parts. The first the nameless pretty one he's shagging before the opening chase. The second who may or may not be a traitor but will die, likely will be shagged before her end. And the last one who was with the villain, but falls for Bond and escapes with him and will be shagged if it hadn't happened earlier. Have they changed that format?

Starkers · January 18 2012, 10:32 AM

Well he didn't actually sleep with Camile in Quantum.
