“Skyfall?” “Done.”
Of the all keywords thrown at Bond in during the interrogation, this is the one that we wish he’d elaborate on.
Just what the hell is Skyfall? Internet rumour suggests it could be the manor house seen ablaze later in the trailer.
Even then, what’s the significance? Is it the residence of a key MI6 figure, or does it hold some sort of special resonance for Bond?
It certainly gives Bond pause for thought, as he’s been able to fire off a keyword to all the other prompts without hesitation (“Murder?” “Employment.” “Agent?” “Provocateur.”), and the shot is intercut with the briefest glimpse at a flashback (pictured).
The stark silhouette (which judging by the gun and stance must surely be Bond) is pinning an unidentifiable bloke to a chair at gun point, in a dingy apartment. Just what did Bond have to do for this mission?
Or, as TF.com reader ‘dkjm74’ suggests, is Bond delivering the word “Done”, in a “Consider it done…” context? It’s possible, considering the way Bond leaves the interrogation.

Heard rumours of Fiennes' character becoming the new 'M' with Judy Dench being killed off.

I noticed TF shoved the actual trailer off the front page , but is flogging the Ipad edition when everyone has already bought the mag.

I'm feeling pretty good about this now I've seen the trailer, that said, this could be a trailer for a stand-alone action thriller about a spy named John Brown (no-one says Bond, the theme music isnt there, there isnt a drink shaken or stirred, no Aston Martin) and I'd still want to see it. Now that the titles have moved away from the Iam Flemming canon maybe we can dispense with the rest of the cliches as well.

Fiennes as the next M seems to be a good shout. His name's 'Mallory' and in Casino Royale, Bond says 'I thought M was a randomly assigned letter, didn't realise it stood for....' suggesting he had learnt her real name and it began with an M. He'll definately have a big part to play, no matter who his character turns out to be anyway. I am looking forward to this new film - always been a Bond fan. Looks like MI6 is coming under attack (wonder if those coffins as other '00' agents?) and looks like Bond is gonna be the one to fight back - Do agree that the trailer needing 'bonding' up more. There were hints of the theme starting towards the end, but then it just finished.

The guy in the chair on #3 looks like Peter Stormare.

Im wondering how Q will fit into all of this. Bond just needs his phone and little else...
