Skyfall is a good title—concise, mysterious, sounds good when crooned by Adele. But other titles were considered, like Once Upon a Spy. While that would be a great title if Bond were a cartoon raccoon, we think Skyfall fits the tone much better. (Source)
Sean Connery was almost considered for a role in Skyfall. No, not as Bond—that would be Skyfall and Break a Hip. He was considered for the role of Kincaid, a part that ultimately went to the big fish Albert Finney. Connery was deemed too distracting for the part—because of his ties to Bond, not because of his accent. (Source)
We know you're still upset about the most tragic demise in the film. No, not M's—the death of Bond's classic Aston Martin DB5. We're happy to tell you that no Aston Martins were harmed during the making of that scene. But a Porsche was. RIP. (Source)

Judi Dench was the one Daniel Craig really loved, and ended up carrying through the bullets. But then would Daniel Craig actually have had sex with Judi Dench? I mean, if she wasn't dead? How great if they'd done a beautifully lit sex scene with Judi Dench looking gorgeous in a black La Perla slip. Now there would be a rebranding feminist…" What do you think of Bridget Jones' assessment of Bond and his girls? (Source)
