Den nye traileren til Sam Mendes’ «Skyfall» –James Bond-film nummer 23 eller 26, litt ettersom hvordan man regner på det -hadde for noen timer siden premiere under Comic-Con. Foreløpig er ikke traileren lagt ut eller lekket, men flere fans har dog twitret sine reaksjoner.
Felles for så og si alle som har twitret, er at de mildt sagt er ekstatiske. Ifølge meldingene kan vi også forvente noen av de mest spektakulære actionsekvensene i James Bond-filmenes 50-årige historie, en badass feltagent – Eve (spilt av Naomie Harris), den klassiske replikken «Bond …James Bond» er med (jeg er lettet, da den evigunge replikken ikke var med i «QUantum of Solace»), humoristiske scener mellom 007 og Q (Ben Whishaw) og en dampende het sexscene i dusjen, med mer. I traileren blir det også avslørt at M har mistet en harddisk med identitetene til hemmelige MI6-agenter. Selv stiger forventningene mine til euforiske høyder -(som en av twitrene skriver «beyond impressive!!! The dark knight who?!»»». Mitt personlige, inderlige håp om at Mendes vil klare å lage en av de aller beste Bond-filmene og en av tidenes beste actionfilmer, lever i beste velgående etter mottagelsen av den nye traileren. Yeah!
Litt dumt at den ikke er sluppet på nett, og at det ryktes om at vi kan måtte vente helt til august med å se den. Men i mellomtiden; her er noen av de rykende ferske twitter-meldingene:
Og så låner vi et rimelig detaljert sammendrag av den nye traileren herfra:
The trailer begins with Bond (Daniel Craig), wielding his Walther PPK, slowly walking down a hallway towards a room where a man is sitting in a chair. When he finally approaches the man, he discovers that the man in the chair is dead. We see shots of M (Judi Dench) riding in a car and voice-over by Gareth Mallory (Ralph Fiennes), who seems to be speaking with her, says that three months ago she lost a drive that contained a list of every embedded secret agent employed by MI6. And that’s when everything goes into overdrive as we get a glimpse at exactly what «Sam Mendes, Action Director» looks like. The trailer has flashes of the big train sequence that we’ve been hearing about for a while as well as a car chase with Bond in the driver’s seat and Eve (Naomi Harris) in the passenger seat. The first montage ends with Bond and a mysterious villain fighting on top of the train with Eve holding a sniper rifle from a distance and getting ready to take a shot.
When then flash back to MI6 where M is being asked by Gareht where Bond is and she tells him that he is somewhere in the South China Sea. When asked why she doesn’t have better intel on 007’s location, she explains that when you’ve worked with Bond as long as she has you learn that «somewhere in the South China Sea» is as good intel as you’re going to find. And then there’s the trailer’s big reveal: the first appearance of Q (Ben Whishaw). At first Bond is questionable about his new quartermaster, but Q then explains that he can do more with his laptop sitting in his pajamas than Bond can accomplish in his year. When Bond then asks why Q needs him, it’s explained that sometimes a trigger needs to be pulled. For the most part the rest of the trailer is montage, with shots like Bond’s Aston Martin driving through the empty desert, Bond passionately making out with a woman in a shower (it was hard to tell if it was Harris or Bérénice Marlohe) and more insanely huge action set pieces, including the subway crash that was featured in the first trailer, Silva silhouetted with a giant fire burning behind him, and even a scene involving some giant construction equipment. It’s one seriously exciting trailer.
