Skyfall official trailer released - The Sun
The trailer sees 007, played by Daniel Craig, being questioned by a psychologist but freezing when asked to associate a word with "Skyfall".
It also reveals some of the incredible stunts and explosions that have now become a benchmark of the Bond movies.
They include a London tube train crashing through a tunnel and Bond falling down a lift shaft.
There’s also a poignant moment when the trailer reveals some coffins draped in British flags.
One of the most intriguing teasers on the trailer is the silhouette of the villain in the film Raoul Silva, played by Spaniard Javier Bardem who won acclaim for his menacing role in No Country For Old Men.
The trailer ends with Bond looking towards the camera and saying: “Some men are coming to kill us — we’re going to kill them first.”
The premise for the film is centred around Bond’s relationship with M, played by Dame Judi Dench, and MI6 coming under attack.
Excitement for the movie, the 23rd in the series, is growing ahead of the November release as it has been four years since Quantum Of Solace.
Sam Mendes, the director of American Beauty, has been brought in to make the movie.

Yahoo appoints internal candidate Spilman as chief marketing officer - Marketing
Spilman replaces Elisa Steele, who was behind Yahoo’s $100m 'It's You' campaign, and left the company at the end of last year, shortly after former chief executive Carol Bartz was dismissed.
Spilman was head of Americas marketing at Yahoo for two years and before that, was a consultant for business-to-business marketing at the company.
Prior to Yahoo, Spilman worked as chief sales and marketing officer at AOL's Advertsing.com.
As part of the management reshuffle, Yahoo has named Mickie Rosen, senior vice-president of Yahoo Media Network, as head of global media and commerce.
The company has also confirmed that Sam Shrauger, a former executive at Ebay's PayPal, who was hired last month as senior vice-president for commerce, is leaving the company.
It is understood that Robert Bridge, Yahoo's top marketer across EMEA, is unaffected by Spilman's appointment.
The reshuffle at Yahoo follows just a week after the controversial departure of chief executive Scott Thompson.
Yahoo has also announced that it has reached a deal to sell half of its 40% stake in Chinese internet giant Alibaba.
The deal would see Yahoo raise about $7.1bn (£4.5bn), composed of at least $6.3bn (£3.9bn) in cash proceeds and up to $800m (£506m) in newly issued Alibaba preferred stock.

iPhone 5 will be the "Steve Jobs Phone" - PC Advisor
The iOSphere has happily concluded that iPhone 5 will be the Steve Jobs phone, because he purportedly "worked closely on the redesigned phone" before his death last October. See also iPhone 5 release date, specs and rumour round up.
The conclusion is based on a Bloomberg story which cites exactly one source, someone "with knowledge of the plans," as the basis for this assertion. Visit New iPhone 5 to have flexible display.
Bloomberg mentions a total of three such sources in the story, but each one for separate assertions. And the assertions don't amount to much, as one can tell from reading the rest of the story, which rehashes some rumors about screen sizes, some generalities about the competitive smartphone market, and so on. Go to iPhone 5 will "launch" in September.
For having talked with three people with knowledge of Apple's plans, there's precious little that's new or detailed information in the story. Bloomberg claims, again from one source, that iPhone 5 will be redesigned but offers not a single detail regarding how.
Another source repeats the previously circulated rumors that Apple has placed orders for displays "that are bigger than the 3.5-inch size now on the smartphone," but again without any detail as to what the larger size would actually be.
"Apple has been working on the new device since before the current iPhone 4S model was introduced last October, said one person with knowledge of the project. Jobs, who had gone on medical leave from Apple starting last January, played a key role in developing the phone, this person said."
