One word...BADASS!!!

You know I love Daniel Craig so him being in the oh so awsome bond movie makes me want to do this!

Apparently there's going to be a scene filmed involving Bond, a komodo dragon and a floating casino!

Can't wait for Skyfall especially after all the red tape it took to get the bond franchise moving again.Craig is a great Bond and hopefully he still has time to make a few more before he gets replaced. I believe that still will be from the teaser as I'm sure he will be clean shaven the majority of the movie.

Bond's had his share of run-ins with dangerous animals in the older films (Going back to Dr.No's tarantula) so I find the Komodo dragon rumor in keeping with the series.

Apparentally it seems that SKYFALL will not have a novel adaptation, although the original Flemings are going to be re-released this year.

Some of the previous Bond movies were adapted into stand-alone novels, such as SPY WHO LOVED ME and MOONRAKER, since their film versions were largely different from Fleming's versions. Also I think the Dalton and Brosnan films were adapted too, and apparentally they tried to shoehorn LICENSE TO KILL into Fleming's continuity, meaning Felix gets maimed twice.

Anyway, I hope the action is more coherent this time (Too much choppy editing in QOS). Also I hope we don't get those weird choices like the location things and hopefully the gunbarrel is back where it belongs.

Eh the only Bond novels worth reading are the Fleming ones nothing even comes close.

I can't really see that happening, Tarantino was trying to get them to let him do Casino Royale like the book for about ten years.
