Oh God.  I can’t express how excited I am that MGM got it together in time to make Skyfall.  Since Daniel Craig took over the role of James Bond, it’s my opinion that they can’t get the out fast enough.  I had a minor heart attack when word came down that the project would be shelved due to MGM’s pending bankruptcy.  But alas, those worries were all for naught because the Bond Gods smiled down on us and the film got the go ahead.

With the release of this, the first trailer for the new 007 film Skyfall, all I can say is thank God that the whole MGM bankruptcy debacle got worked out and that this film is actually getting made.  I loved Casino Royale and how the new Bond took a more gritty turn with the arrival of Daniel Craig.  Quantum of Solace wasn’t quite as good, but that film suffered through the writer’s strike as well as an inexperienced director.  Regardless, I still enjoyed it…just not as much as Casino Royale.
