In this short (5 minute) video interview Sam Mendes talks with AMC about Skyfall.

Sam Mendes was recently interviewed about Skyfall and other projects by Collider.com, which you can watch above. The interview is around 20 minutes and, just in case you’re easily offended, contains some swearing. Mendes discusses a variety of topics regarding the film, including cinematography; deleted scenes; finishing post production just two days before the first press screening; the direction changes brought on board for Skyfall; and Javier Bardem’s character.

The latest video blog shows behind the scenes footage of the helicopters used in Skyfall and discusses some of the challenges involved.

It shows the helicopter used by Silva learning the location and set, while the camera chopper finds just how close it can get during filming; 23 feet at 100 mph is the answer, leaving little margin for error. And as the pilot says, if you’re going to be in a film it’s got to be a Bond film!

In this feature used to promote Skyfall on IMAX Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson discuss the film, with Broccoli saying that the 50th anniversary created pressure to make the best Bond film ever and that she believes Javier Bardem’s character is one of the most interesting Bond villains ever. Sam Mendes speaks about wanting some great one on one dialogue scenes, Daniel Craig says they wanted to make something special and Javier Bardem discusses his experiences.

The final trailer for Skyfall was released by Sony on Thursday. The trailer is just over two minutes long, and consists of previously seen footage from other trailers and TV spots. Watch it on YouTube above.

The latest video blog from 007.com takes a look behind the scenes at Skyfall’s music, talking to composer Thomas Newman and trumpeter Derek Watkins, who has unbelievably played on every one of the Bond films to date. During the video Newman calls the James Bond Theme “classic and iconic”.

A short video of Omega’s limited-edition Seamaster Planet Ocean watch has been posted on YouTube. With the 007 gun logo in place of the digit seven on the watch face, it doesn’t really seem to be a serious timepiece, especially considering the cost , but each to their own taste.

Bond… James Bond. It wasn’t in Quantum of Solace, but it’s certainly back for Skyfall. The opinions expressed in the article are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect the views of the website owner.

A new 23 second TV spot has been released today after being uploaded to YouTube.

EPIX, which is premiering “Everything or Nothing” in the US, has released a 10 minute video entitled “The Secrets of Skyfall” on YouTube. It appears that most of the footage has been seen before, including interviews with cast and crew.
