The audio hears Bond (Daniel Craig) playing a word association game with an MI6 psychiatrist. Words spoken: "Country"/"England", "Gun"/"Shot", "Agent"/"Provocateur", "Murder"…"Employment".
We then see M (Judi Dench) and Ralph Fiennes' character behind glass watching Bond while this is going on. When the questioner asks "Skyfall", Bond responds "Done" and walks up to the glass.
Cut to a quick montage with looks at scenes shot in Shanghai and London as well as sequences set around a Macau casino and the London underground. The clip ends with Bond saying "Some men are coming to kill us. We’ve got to kill them first" as coffins covered in Union Jack flags are shown.
Javier Bardem, Naomie Harris, Simon Russell Beale, Rhys Ifans, Helen McCrory Ben Whishaw Tonia Sotiropoulou and Rory Kinnear also star.
In the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time--Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

The studio also confirmed plans to return to a 2 year pattern of 007 film releases meaning after "Skyfall" Bond 24 will hit late the cineplex in late 2014.
Meanwhile Empire has devoted a special issue about the film and offered a few key bits of information. For instance Fiennes' role is confirmed to be an MI6 higher-up named Mallory.
Mendes has some niffty rules for the character like he can't have a similarly aged partner - "there's this constant tension where he only has relationships with his senior figures in MI6 - and women". He must also have some racy interactions with women."
"He doesn't live entirely in the real world, in the sense that you can't put him on the street. He's not Bourne. Bourne is a footsoldier. You walk into Waterloo station this morning, he's probably there, standing next to you. Bond can't do that. He has to have his own space around him." meaning there's a return to a slight touch of playfulness missing in the last two films, especially the last one.
Mendes says he's wants this sequel to supply, along with plenty of action, a "kind of emotional engagement that maybe you haven't seen before in Bond. You've got to give him an arc, not just a mission."
Mendes, Craig and the crew are filming scenes on Koca Calis Beach this week in Fethiye, Turkey according to MI6-HQ.com. Second unit filming has already been busy in Istanbul for weeks on a motorcycle chase across roof tops and a car chase through the Grand Bazaar markets.
Sounds like fun...
Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are producing the film.
The sequel arrives in theaters on November 9, 2012.
