Aaah. Imagine if he'd had said that to the camera Lazenby style. The line was bad enough first time round ~X(
Agreed ?
Well, let's start a petition to Sony to make it come true.
I already planned ahead on this and recorded this Bond segment. On rewatching today i noticed how the Queen has a twinkle of amusement in her eye, and Daniel Craig has a wry smile at the REAL monarch saying his charactor name! Also the grin where DC looks at the Corgi's from the helicopter.
A great sequence, its still getting alot of TV news time and is all over the press here in the UK! Priceless publicity! Bring on the movie!
I thought it was ok but to have the Queen and Bond jump out of helicopter over a stadium in the middle of the night over a reclaimed East End bog is out there...and got some cheap publicity for Bond.
Not the 50th tribute it should have been.
The torch was amazing and I was close to tears with emotion during the 7/7 images and the song and dance tribute afterwards was truly touching and truly British.
That's gonna be stuck in my head all the way through SF. Maybe at the end of the film he can say "I'll be back" :))
Nah, I doubt Pierce cares anymore.
The video won't be taken down if its official. Watch the Bond scene with the Queen from the official Olympics upload >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AS-dCdYZbo
The uploader has not made this video available in your country.
Sorry about that.
DC is the so The Man. He barely speaks and is just so cool. Some great looks/glances.
EON must be chuffed. A quick window to...ooh, the whole world....to remind everyone Bond is still about...and only a few months to go now.
And here is proof:
Too bad they didn't use it as a prologue to a bigger Doctor Who sketch.
Just wached it again from my hard drive, The theme kicking in loudly sends a shiver down my spine, Greatly executed!

MI6's version should play worldwide without any problems:

She did a better acting job than some of the other Bond girls.
The US didn't get to see the 7/7 tribute. We got Ryan Seacrest interviewing Michael Phelps instead. Just saw it and it was hauntingly beautiful.
This was funny and so true. I'm sure Pierce was fine with it, 6 years ago, yeah, he probably would have been a bit jealous.
A great job by my British cousins with everything they did, kudos to them. It was best for them to stay true to their national identity and not try to compete with the OTT Beijing spectacular which may not be topped anytime soon in it's scale of grandeur. Hearing Sir Paul at the end was also a big highlight, especially him choking up briefly with genuine emotion in the first verse.
The American feed was much more focused on the Bond segment at the conclusion of the ceremonies than when it originally aired. They were really hyping the Queen with James Bond and mentioned Craig as well. Short of hyping the new film directly, and this broadcast could have been a great time to release the new trailer, it was practically named as the standout segment amongst many and I think it was an overall success. I definitely hope they will include it next year when SkyFall is released on DVD.
When the "dance party" started (was it called The Digital Age?) my girlfriend and I commented about how the Brits can make things seem cool and energetic when most people would make them stodgy. This is why I love awards shows like the Brit Awards - American award shows seem so low-key and lame by comparison.
I'm sure that haters will hate and certain people will complain that there wasn't a trailer for SF in the opening ceremonies, but come on! This isn't about Bond, it's about the Olympics. The bit with Craig and the Queen was just about perfect, and from what I understand from some Brits, just being in that film and allowing her "image" to be used in that way was a HUGE thing for the Queen. Had she knighted Bond, or had there been a shootout trying to get her to the opening ceremonies (! Pretty bad taste if they had done that!) it would have been way too much and absolutely the wrong tone.
Well done, Danny Boyle!
James Bond and Queen Elizabeth II skydiving into the stadium...
Danny Boyle played a blinder.
Both smiles look genuine.
