    1.17: Bond jumping from bridge on top of moving train (scene 16)
    1.18-1.19: Bond approaching Patrice (scene 64)

    Well done. Good work.

    I suspect the FLASH-CUT (after Doctor asks "Skyfall?") of Bond approaching the dead (?) man in the chair is in Turkey -pre-titles - and -

    -- Bond, back-lit, walking towards us down the dark corridor, is Bond approaching the "dead man's" apartment or rented room in the start of pre-title sequence - and could be the pre-title reveal of Bond - his face emerging from darkness.

    What do u think?
    Weren't the very beginning of the PCS, scene 1 or/and 2, to take place in a bar in Istanbul?
    Any guesses about the scene number where Bond says "some men are coming to kill us"? His suit confuses me.

    There's reports that the film opens in a bar or cafe, but maybe that changed from earlier drafts, or the apartment is in a rented room above the cafe/bar.

    It just looks to me that the interior set decor and lighting approach - strong sunlight coming through the window slats and back-lighting through a narrow doorway - with Bond walking towards camera - both match. So it could be that our first shot of Bond is seeing his silhouetted figure advancing up the narrow corridor, into the light, and he cautiously enters the shadowing room and finds the dead man in the chair. Bond's suit seems to also match his suit in the pre-titles.

    There is a 'sleazy bar' in Turkey in scenes 33, and 34.

    The earliest scene we know about is scene 3, with Bond exiting a building in Istanbul, so its possible that there is an apartment scene in 1 and 2.

    Looks good. I did raise an eyebrow at the "Country?" "England" bit. United Kingdom really heh. We seem to have a fractured Bond. We know SIS comes under attack and M's past comes back to haunt her. Perhaps Javier Bardem's character was someone M tried to recruit as a '00' before Bond? I think Ralph Fiennes is M's replacement. I like the minimalist tone of the trailer. We only see two people speak: Bond and the doctor. Everyone else has a brief visual introduction. Naomie Harris giving Bond a facial shave, that'll be interesting (as long as he doesn't end up looking like the vajazzled villain from Die Another Day then all good) and hints at a possibly interesting chemistry between the two.

    I liked the inclusions of the Union Jack flags. I counted three separate scenes.

    United Kingdom, as its title states, are united kingdoms - the UK is divided between England, Wales, Scotland.

    England = country.

    Divided among (more than two)...and don't forget Northern Ireland ;-). The U.K is a country as well. The prime country under which its constituent countries are a member. As a British intelligence officer, I would expect his answer to be the United Kingdom. Even if he was in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. Still, a minor thing really. As there's nothing else to critique seeing as the trailer did its job and showed us just the right amount without going overboard. Skyfall might be some sort of purging programme? A pogrom against 00s? But then we know SIS itself comes under attack...hmm.

    After all that 007.com beat the BBC by ten minutes!

    Logging on to find over 270 unread posts in one thread is quite something! Well, I've read the entire thread and I'm glad so many like it. I really do, too.

    The tone of the trailer may seem un-Bond but I think this only adds to the fact this is Bond we're watching, we don't need the theme. The hints of the Bond theme work really well and as has been said by everyone, it looks amazing. Deakins has worked his magic here.

    I could go on but I think everything important has been covered, for now.

    I give this top marks, so I'm hoping for the best Bond in a long time now.

    What I look forward to seeing is some of the action taking place in the UK's capital. That's something I always wanted to see Craig's Bond get involved in. M's smashing of the glass ashtray didn't count. Although funnily enough, that silouhette of Bardem's character made me think of "No Country for Old Men" a bit.

    It was interesting to see the prop of Bond's passport. So Daniel's Bond was born 13th April 1968!

    I remember a prop of Bond's driving licence in TLD, he was born in 1947... and Bond's health dossier in TWINE, he was born in 1961/1962.

    @DaltonCraig
    I hope your opinion doesn't shift about this movie after the excitement wears off.
    It seems very different from the older films...... fresh. (I remember you saying you were excited about CR at first)

    Oh and also MGW saying that, whilst they don't know until the editing is complete, the film will likely be around 2 hours.

    Well, I must say I'm impressed. Love the way the rimshots are synchronized with Bond's gunshots. Excellent cinematography. Let's hope the movie will be as good as that.

    This seems more 'classical' than CR/QOS while still being 'fresh' as you say.. so this seems like the Bond film I will like :) but I must say I can't wait to see B-) Ralph Fiennes B-) in the film !!

    Craig looks more relaxed, David Arnold gone, Deakins is onboard... I think this film will be stellar !! Maybe not a top 3 outing, but looks very much like a top 7 outing for me IMO !!

    I'm actually impressed! I think Sam Mendes was a fabulous choice. The film looks amazing by the cinematography, directing, acting, action, and, ofcourse mystery! This film is now straight up there with 'The Dark Knight Rises' and 'Prometheus' as my most anticipated film of the year.

    I'm happy with that. Remember a teaser trailer is just that, and it has left me wanting to see more. Job done. Can't wait for further trailers. Very exciting times!!!

    Nice to see another Bourne reference via the shot of Bond from under the water - exactly the same as the opening shot of the Bourne Identity and the last shot of Bourne Ultimatum.

    Yes, and everytime a man falls in the water and is filmed from beneath it will be a Bourne homage.

    On that note, I wonder how many homages to Bourne Baywatch did?

    WOW! The wait has paid off! I can't wait to see how all of this comes together in the final film! And I cand already tell that this line will go down in Bond history. "Some men are coming to kill us....we're going to kill them first." EPIC!

    And yet I don't remember this shot in any other film apart from both the first and last Bourne movies... which happen to be the biggest spy/thriller competitors to Bond in the last 10 years. Hmmm. Strange that. Oh well, either it's deliberate, which is odd, or it's a pure coincidence, which is even odder.

    You´re right.

    It is strange.

    ;)

    Remember that the circunstances of the fall will be very, very different. Besides, at this stage, even with another fil...flop coming, don´t you think it´s time to say Bourne who? I mean, who cares about that, even Matt Damon has moved on ;) I know Weisz is in it, which is probably the only reason worth seeing it, but really, let me:

    Bourne who?

    Ok saying that Bond is ripping of Bourne in the trailer was bullshit but why say Bourne who? I'm looking forward to the new film and I'm hoping Damon will come back for the 5th (if there is one), and it's good for Bond to have competition.
