Sam Mendes talks Skyfall's Bond legacy Sep 28th 2012, 10:49 Skyfall fronts the latest issue of Total Film magazine, with Daniel Craig’s James Bond striking a pose on the cover. Inside, Craig and director Sam Mendes explain how they’re marrying 007’s modern-day grit with old-school wit. The new issue’s out now (and you can get it for only £1.99 on your iPad), but you can read an exclusive excerpt below. When we spoke to Mendes about taking on a film with such a revered legacy and devoted fanbase, he explained: “There are definite echoes of other Bond movies - the Aston Martin DB5, the return of Q - and there are some that only the hardcore geeks will get! I hope they want to go on this adventure.” On his own relationship with Bond movies, he added: “I wanted to make a great Bond movie… A great movie, full stop. I wanted to go back in tone, back to Ian Fleming. I didn’t want to make a movie in reaction to the last two movies. I wanted to make what I want to see when I see a Bond movie.” For more on from Mendes, Craig et al on Skyfall, get the latest issue of Total Film magazine, or pick up the interactive iPad edition for just £1.99!
