James Bond 23 (Skyfall) first official still

The very first official still from Skyfall, the twenty-third theatrical adventure of spy and sex-machine Bond, James Bond, has arrived online. As played by Daniel Craig, the iconic character created by Ian Fleming is a man of many talents, including, but certainly not limited to: shooting, running, jumping, punching, chasing people or objects, charming beautiful women, and, crucially, swimming.

The first Skyfall image features Craig hanging out poolside at the Four Seasons in London. And that's about it. A nicely-lit, good looking image, no doubt, but hardly one that promises big action or high stakes drama. Instead, the principal selling point here looks to be the in-shape Craig, whose nearly visible buttcrack provides plenty of drama, putting the viewer right on the edge of their seat.

I only recently figured out that Quantum of Solace is the sequel to Casino Royale (Okay, I'm a cheapskate and waited a hucka long time to see the new Bond for cheap; I was also a tad skeptical of Daniel Craig as Bond, but I have decided I like him). Is Skyfall supposed to continue the story? Will it be the conclusion of a trilogy or just the next installment?

Water rights in Bolivia? Not exactly a madman threatening to take over the world stuff (most Bond plots) or even a sinister group funding terrorism (Casino Royale). While I don't necessarily need to see the human threatened with extinction (Moonraker) I just hope there's a little more at stake this go around.
