We’re eagerly anticipating Bond’s 23rd outing – in fact, we can’t wait. But we just have to; Skyfall’s not out till the 26th of October in the UK. In the meantime, 007.com is slowly feeding our feverish frenzy with photos and videoblogs – this one is from Sam Mendes talking about why he joined the project and just how big a Bond fan he really truly is; lest any diehard fans were in doubt over his ability to direct the latest version of their beloved film franchise.
Apparently this is the first of many videoblogs from Mendes, so hopefully we’ll get a few more sneak peaks of footage from the film in subsequent ones — I spotted a few familiar London locations spread throughout this one. Mendes certainly sounds like he’s got the chops to pull off an awesome Bond film; let’s hope he comes through. And did anyone else not realise Sam Mendes was British until watching the video? Just me then? Oh. [007.com via TotalFilm]

I’m very much looking forward to Bond 23, it’ll b e interesting to see which direction Mendes takes the Franchise, Craigs bond is much more Gritty and realistic, when Brosnan had an invisible car i thought it was the end for bond but they’ve brought him back on track nicely.
Daniel Craig might not fit the traditional Bond image (flashy gadgets, cheesy jokes, constantly bedding damsel’s in distress instead of working etc.) but I think he is much more believable as a spy… He’s gritty, wears his emotions on his sleeves, good at hand to hand combat, witty and he uses gadgets that are slightly more believable. Definitely looking forward to Skyfall
He is also more like the Bond of the books. That is also the reason I like Dalton’s Bond, he was slightly darker and slightly less caricatured – like Craig, but with less of a potato-faced.
Having said that, I did love Brosnan’s Bond partly because Goldeneye is a great film and partly because Brosnan was my first Bond I saw in the Cinema. It was just a shame the last couple of his films were a bit rubbish.
Yes! Dalton FTW!
Wow, i know i was only little at the time but the first Bond i saw was Moore in Octopussy! i did like Brosnan to begin with, but by the last one he looked too old, the Gadgets were ridiculous and the cheese was too much.
Craig really knows how to get whipped in the balls, you’d never see Connery or Moore getting Whipped in the balls.
