Skyfall, or How Bond Got His Groove Back.

The first (so far as I know) images of Daniel Craig's third outing as James Bond have landed over at Just Jared. The images may seem like your run-of-the-mill paparazzo shots, but could they reveal something about the upcoming 007 adventure?

A snapshot of an aged, tired special agent at Trafalgar Square. Although Bond is as sharply dressed as usual, could this be an indication of a world-weary, fractured James? Martin Campbell and Craig briefly toyed with this persona in 2005's Casino Royale, with Vesper Lynd lightly scratching away at Bond's tough exterior, exposing an isolated orphan who became Britain's deadliest weapon. So could Sam Mendes follow through with this idea and give us a side of Bond we've never been shown? I certainly hope so, as Quantum Of Solace felt like a step backwards into the sociopathic-chic of Pierce Brosnan's 007. 

Rumors swirl that this will be Craig's last outing as the iconic hero, so it could be a real turning point for the franchise if Mendes set his Bond in our world; a world in financial crisis, fascistic policing and intruding tabloids. And what could be more interesting than seeing 007 strive to be his usual world-saving self when governments seem bent on destroying themselves? 

Come on, Skyfall. Don't disappoint!
