As the James Bond movie franchise celebrates its 50th anniversary, Daniel Craig returns as Ian Fleming's super spy for 007's twenty-third official screen adventure Skyfall, and Eon Productions, MGM and Columbia Pictures have just released the two new trailers ahead of the film's hotly-anticipated release this autumn. Directed by Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) and written by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (Gladiator, The Aviator, Hugo) and Bond veterans Neal Purvis & Robert Wade (The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace), Skyfall sees Bond and MI6 facing their gravest challenge yet when a data drive containing details of every British agent in the field ends up falling into the wrong hands. As Bond attempts to seek out and eliminate the threat, he finds his loyalty to M (Judi Dench) tested when secrets from her past come back to haunt her.
Joining Daniel Craig and Judi Dench in the cast of the $150 million production are Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) as Mallory, Ben Wishaw (Cloud Atlas) as Q, Naomie Harris (Miami Vice) as Eve, Albert Finney (The Bourne Legacy) as Kincade, Helen McCrory (Hugo) as Clair Dowar, Bérénice Marlohe (R.I.S. Police scientifique) as Sévérine and Ola Rapace (Wallander) as Patrice, while Rory Kinnear reprises the role of Bill Tanner and Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) stars as the villain, Raoul Silva.
