In the past month or so, we’ve been treated to a flurry of news surrounding the upcoming next Bond film, until recently known simply as Bond 23, which has now been officially titled Skyfall.
In case you’ve missed all our coverage, you can catch up on it right here. To give you a quick run-down, Daniel Craig will of course be reprising his role as Bond, with Javier Bardem cast opposite him as Skyfall’s lead villain. Dame Judi Dench will return as M, and the film also has a brilliant supporting cast with Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Ola Rapace, Helen McCrory, and Albert Finney all attached too.
We’ve even been lucky enough to see the plot begin to surface with a short official synopsis:
“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.”
We’ve now got some more photos from the set to share with you, courtesy of the Daily Mail, giving us a look at what appears to be an exchange taking place between Craig and Harris, with Craig giving Harris – who will play a field agent by the name of Eve – a conspicuous black box.
Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) is taking the helm for what is already one of next year’s most highly anticipated films, with a current release date scheduled for 26th October. Without further ado, here are the photos from the set to feast your eyes on (one of which is of Harris wrapped in a duvet for warmth between takes). As usual, click to enlarge.
