Daniel Craig’s appearance as
James Bond at the Opening Ceremony for the
London 2012 Olympics has been accompanied by a new TV spot for the 23rd
Bond.
Craig teamed up with
Queen Elizabeth II and escorted her by helicopter to the Summer Games, before skydiving out of the vehicle for a grand entrance. The scenes for this moment were filmed last March at Buckingham Palace, initially prompting rumours that
QE2 would feature in the latest Bond adventure.

After the opening ceremony, a brand new TV Spot hit the web, check it out.
It’s heavy on action and low on plot, giving us an idea of the kinds of scrapes
Bond is planning on getting into. We’re particularly interested in that train being opened like a can of sardines…
Skyfall marks the 50th anniversary of
Bond on film and the third outing for
Daniel Craig with a story that focuses on investigating series stalwart M played by
Judi Dench – the only performer to survive the transition from the
Brosnan era. With MI6 in jeopardy,
Bond must work to stop a vital secret from leaking, while his allegiances are brought into question.
Skyfall is directed by
Sam Mendes and also stars
Javier Bardem,
Ralph Fiennes,
Albert Finney and
Naomie Harris. It’s in cinemas from the 26th of October.
