Adele confirmed as singer of official Skyfall theme song

Adele has premiered her latest song “Skyfall” globally via her personal website.

After reading the script, Adele enlisted Paul Epworth to co-write and produce the song for the film. With the assistance of Epworth, Adele admits she had a lot of fun writing to a brief.

“When we recorded the strings, it was one of the proudest moments of my life.

“I’ll be back combing my hair when I’m 60 telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day, I’m sure!”

The song Skyfall had the support of a 77-piece orchestra and was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London. Listen to ADELE – Skyfall below:

 

Update: ADELE - Skyfall is now available on iTunes.

If you’ve been having any doubts about the upcoming 007 movie this international trailer should put your mind at ease. In comparison to the teaser trailer it really takes it up a notch. Daniel Craig is looking in fine form for his third outing as James Bond.

Eurocom Screenwriter Interviewed At E3 2012

Hot off the E3 hype train we’ve got an Inside Gaming interview with Eurocom screenwriter Rob Matthews about the upcoming title 007 Legends.

Interviewer Chris Lockey gets the run down on the next James Bond game in three minutes.

When Matthews was asked how Eurocom managed to unify 007 Legends his response was a simple one.

"We’ve framed it as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Bond on film," he said.

Further on in the interview, the Eurocom screenwriter detailed what to expect from Legends.

"[The] Smart phone has a lot of new features, we’ve... got Bond’s pen [too]" and also mentioned how there was a "great xp system... built into the single player experience” allowing players to upgrade weapons, gadgets and Bond’s physical abilities.

To finish, Rob Matthews reconfirmed 007 Legends would be released "fall 2012" (October 16) on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Skyfall Teaser Poster Revealed

Courtesy of CommanderBond.net, I’m able to present to you the official Skyfall teaser poster.

As you can all hopefully see, it’s a pretty traditional-looking Bond poster that most fans are either going to love or hate.

You'll either feel like you’ve seen it a million times before with all the other 007 actors plastered across the signature gun barrel sequence, or you’re now pumped more than ever for the release of Craig’s new film and his slightly different approach to Bond’s character this time round.

If you’re still feeling indifferent about Skyfall hopefully the next post will liven you up a little.

The New 007 Gamer Is Now Live!

I just wanted to let everyone know that 007 Gamer is back in action. I’m extremely pleased to be making this announcement before the release of Skyfall and 007 Legends as well.

While the site was under the knife, I was busy working on a totally new writing approach, and after much consideration I’ve decided to go with a more personal take on the whole thing.  That’s what blogs are for after all, right?

Anyway, with this little announcement out of the way, I’m thrilled to also reveal that I’ll now be able to engage with my readers a lot better.

So don’t be shy! Leave a comment or two on the site here, or follow me on Twitter and I’ll probably follow you back (provided you’re a JB fan, or... just a fan of my work).

Now, a bit about myself: For starters I’m a huge Bond fan and my favourite 007 adventure of them all probably has to be the 1995 film GoldenEye. This also ties in nicely with my favourite Bond video game of all time, GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64. These two choices are mainly linked to a generational complex and so I stand by them even if other people did get some sort of sick enjoyment out of Never Say Never Again and the video game version of Tomorrow Never Dies.

On a more serious note, it’s great to be back! I hope you all enjoy the site’s new design and I look forward to publishing more subjective 007 movie and game content from now on.
