First Image From James Bond ‘Skyfall’

At 845am this morning, Monday 7th November 2011 film director Sam Mendes called ‘Action’ for the first time on the start of the long awaited James Bond 23 as we now know is called ‘Skyfall‘. Daniel Craig, Judi Dench return to the roles of James Bond and M first time since 2007/2008 ed by Javier Badrem, Ralph Feinnes ,Berenice Marlohe,  Albert Finney , Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris. 

The latest film will be shot at Pinewood Studios, London, Shanghai, Scotland, Whitehall and Istanbul. Its taken me a while for me to appreciate Daniel Craig as 007, but as thriller/espionage films get more and more action orientated Craig is certainly an actor who is suited to a few action moves. Its been a long time coming  here’s hoping Sam Mendes does James Bond justice bring back a little  creditability after Quantum of Solace.

To celebrate the first day of filming The official James Bond Twitter  @007 has tweeted the first image !

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.
