‘Skyfall’ Featurette Makes You Wish You Were Being Chased Through Istanbul

Bond takes his opening shot

Skyfall cannot come fast enough. I get hotter thinking about the next Bond movie than Kristen Stewart does at a DGA event. Which is why I'm searching and grabbing onto any footage or trailers for it I can find like lion in the serengeti grabbing up gazelles. This lovely little featurette from our friends at IGN give us a glimpse into the pre-credits sequence that will open the film.

After an operation in Istanbul ends in disaster, James Bond is missing and presumed to be dead, the identities of every active undercover MI6 agent are leaked onto the internet, and M becomes the subject of a government review over her handling of the situation. When the service itself is attacked, Bond's sudden reappearance gives M the pretext she needs to seek out Raoul Silva, a dangerous villain claiming a personal connection to both of them — but as he follows a trail from London to the South China Sea, Bond soon finds his loyalty to M challenged over secrets from her past.

Skyfall hits U.S. theaters November 9th.
