VIDEO: First trailer for James Bond: Skyfall

Sony just released the first teaser trailer for Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond movie, starring Daniel Craig, opening November 9th. Sam Mendes directed this one, so even though Javier Bardem plays a villain, Bond’s real enemy is likely to be middle-class ennui.

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. [IMDB]

“I’ll take a vodka martini and a carton of smokes. …20 pounds?? This time, it’s personal.”

The first teaser is long on style, but short on plot. Bond plays a word association game, and then we get a fun little montage of various shit getting owned. Okay, you got me, I’m excited, kind of. Though with all the product placement Bond movies have these days, I wouldn’t be surprised if the full version of that word game is more like…

“Aston Martin.”

“Luxury.”

“Masculinity.”

“The new Gillette Fusion Mach 6.”

“Fear.”

“Not having the Carbonite system to back up my important files.”
