Sam Mendes’ Skyfall opened to record-breaking numbers last month in the UK, and has continued to break records in the weeks since, becoming the biggest film of the year on our shores.
It finally opened in the US last weekend, taking just shy of m. and scoring an A grade amongst cinemagoers, showing that audiences are loving the film just as much as critics – you can read our review here.
With the film now heading for its second weekend in the US, the latest entry in the Skyfall video series has been released, giving a great look at how some of the work with the aircrafts were shot.
“In SKYFALL, Bond’s loyalty to M 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.”
Daniel Craig reprises his leading role once more as James Bond, and is joined by an all-star cast, headed up by Javier Bardem, Bérénice Marlohe, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Albert Finney, Helen McCrory, Ola Rapace, and Dame Judi Dench.
Mendes, the Oscar-winning director of American Beauty, is making his Bond debut behind the camera, with a script penned by Bond frequents Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, and the ever-brilliant John Logan (Gladiator, Coriolanus).
I finally managed to see the film this week, and thought it was absolutely brilliant, and can’t recommend it enough. A must-see for everyone, regardless of whether or not you’re a fan of the franchise.
Skyfall is still going strong in cinemas across the UK and US, and will be heading into its second weekend in the States today, with tough competition faced by the opening weekend of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. For now, here’s the latest entry in the series of video blogs.
