With the financial collapse of MGM several years ago, it took what seemed like forever to get two highly anticipated franchises back on track. One of course is the upcoming The Hobbit the other being the 23rd (wow) James Bond film titled Skyfall.
Yet what does Skyfall actually mean? A recent set visit by "Slashfilm" may hold some answers.
Apparently, representatives for "Slashfilm" described a scene where Silva (Javier Bardem) chases Bond underneath London and causes an explosion. Consequently a train comes crashing through a catacomb and lands on Bond's head. (Presumably this is not literal.) Now to me this just means this is a scene that alludes/reinforces the title. I have to believe that the producers and writers behind Skyfall mean it to be something more than this. I'm thinking maybe a code for bringing down the world's satellites maybe?*
One cool thing "Slashfilm" also mentioned was that workers were building a three tiered casino set piece on the set of Skyfall. Now that gets me excited. I thought the coolest parts of Casino Royale involved Bond playing Texas Hold 'Em. Plus it's a Bond film! You have to have at least some gambling.
Skyfall releases November 9th of this year.
*I hope the criminal group Quantum will also be connected to Skyfall, as the last movie alluded to.
