Dominating box offices around the world at the weekend, taking the #1 spot in twenty-five territories, with a record-breaking opening here in the UK, Skyfall has certainly been living up to expectations.
Daniel Craig takes the lead, reprising his role once more as James Bond, and with the US still waiting for the film’s Stateside release, Sony continue to gear up their marketing campaign. We caught a new TV spot for the film earlier in the week, and now the studio have released another thirty-second spot, featuring a handful of quotes from critics, who have almost universally loved the film – you can read our review here.
“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.”
Craig stars alongside 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.
Sam 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).
Skyfall is currently playing in cinemas and IMAX theatres across the UK. In the US, it will be arriving in IMAX theatres a day early on 8th November, before going wide on 9th November. For now, here’s the new TV spot with enough footage and critics’ praise to convince you, in case you were still on the fence about this.
