23rd James Bond film

It's official. The 23rd James Bond film is finally off the ground, a title is given and production has started. Multi-award winner Sam Mendes is directing "Skyfall", which will have its UK/Ireland premiere on October 26, 2012 and a North American release on November 9, 2012.
The producers have given little away about the plot other than it concerns M's past which came back to haunt her and will test Bond's loyalty to the MI6 head. Daniel Craig and Judi Dench return as James Bond and M respectively. Other stars include Berenice Marlohe who will play Severine, Naomie Harris as field agent Eve, Javier Bardem as the film's main villain, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and Rory Kinnear.

Scoring for "Skyfall" is director Sam Mendes' long time collaborator Thomas Newman, having scored four of the director's other films namely "American Beauty" (1999), "Road to Perdition" (2002) [which also starred Daniel Craig], "Jarhead" (2005) and "Revolutionary Road" (2008). Newman's other works include "The Iron Lady", "The Adjustment Bureau" and "The Help". "Skyfall" is his first 007 adventure.
The singer for the film's main theme song has not been announced but it's reported that Adelle is competing against Michael Bubble for the honor.
The "James Bond Theme", the main signature of the "James Bond" films which has been featured in all Bond films since the 1962 "Dr. No" was written by Monty Norman. Over the years there have been many different arrangements of the theme, mostly by John Barry, to reflect the musical taste of the specific times.

Stay tuned for soundtrack details.
