Bond and his Walther PPK are Set for Action in ‘SKYFALL’ Photo
Bond is back! After a series of hiccups behind the scenes following 2008’s disappointing Quantum of Solace, James Bond could be set to make a huge comeback with director Sam Mendes (Road to Perdition, Jarhead) behind the film Skyfall. In the new photo seen below, not only do what we get a look at the grizzled Daniel Craig among what looks like a series of hi-tech computer screens, but we also see him holding his signature gun: The Walther PPK. As much as a “shaken not stirred” martini is his drink of choice, this gun is clearly his weapon of choice. The gun first appeared in Dr. No and was featured in almost every Bond film to follow. Die-hard fans of the series often note that Daniel Craig was not seen using it in Casino Royale even though publicity shots were released showing him holding it. However, the gun did make a return in Quantum of Solace and looks to be continuing the tradition in Skyfall.
James Bond’s newest mission, Skyfall will be released November 9, 2012.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
