Skyfall: 23rd James Bond Movie Trailer First Without Obvious Bond Music

Facebook

Skyfall the 23rd James Bond movie to be released and the third featuring Daniel Craig in the lead roll, has a trailer that seems to point to a new direction for the series; it’s the first without an obvious James Bond Music reference.

Why this is, I do not know, but I suspect it’s in the same area of reasoning that led the producers to have Bond drinking Heineken beer for a cool $45 million. But that’s for another blog post; here’s the Skyfall movie trailer:

And to continue my point that the Skyfall trailer lacks an obvious Bond theme reference in its music, take a look at this trailer for Casino Royale (2006) where “Bond Music” is evident:

And the same is true for the sequel: Quantum Of Solace (2008):

We can go back to the original trailer for Dr. No, the first Bond movie (1962, the year I was born) which was hallmarked by the now familiar James Bond Theme. Take a look:

Whatever’s going on, it’s clear Skyfall marks something different. Just what or why, I do not yet know.

Stay tuned.
