The latest trailer for the next Bond, Skyfall, has landed and barring a cameo from the Queen (hands up who believed the social media goss when the Olympics opening ceremony was being filmed in Buck Palace), looks pretty much sturdy, explosive and edge-of-the-seat 007 stuff. The film isn't due till December, so what nuggets of information can we gather from this teaser?
Bond might die: Well, why else would M be writing his obituary? Hang on, he's not going to pretend to be dead while lying low on a gap year holiday in Thailand in order to uncover some sort of dastardly plot to take over the world, is he? Certainly looks that way.
Q is rather on the young side: In this trailer, we get our first glimpse of Ben Whishaw as the gadget master, a somewhat dramatic age drop from the days Desmond Llewelyn and John Cleese. His first gift to Bond - a gun that reads his palm, allowing only 007 to fire it (and perhaps later suggesting that he might go on 'a long journey').
M did something quite foolish some time ago: OK, so we might already know this bit, but the new trailer underlines it quite heavily (perhaps with a felt tip pen), with at least one reference to 'mummy' being 'bad' and a whole kaleidoscope of concerned looks on Judi Dench's face.
Bond endorses public transport: Thanks to some scenes on the London underground and on a train somewhere, although it's unlikely train companies want to promote the idea of their carriages being smashed to bits by a digger as they move.
Javier Bardem has been given yet another stupid wig to wear: But at least it's not quite as bad as No Country For Old Men.
