Watch: Sam Mendes' First Video Blog for Bond 23 'Skyfall' Revealed

"Here was a real man in a real situation again." The very first video blog for Bond 23, Skyfall, has debuted on the official 007.com website (via ComingSoon). Taking a cue from The Hobbit, director Sam Mendes presents the first of hopefully many video blogs from the set of Skyfall, this time talking about why he was the perfect guy for the job. He also says some nice things about Daniel Craig, returning as Agent 007, and gives us a tease of the locations he's been shooting in England. "It is still possible to make a big, fabulous, glamorous, escapist movie and yet - at the same time, to say something about the world we're living in."

Watch the first official video blog for Sam Mendes' 23rd James Bond film Skyfall, now in production:

Skyfall is being directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Jarhead, Revolutionary Road, Away We Go), from a script by John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. Helen McCrory and Ola Rapace will appear in Skyfall, joining previously announced stars Daniel Craig as James Bond 007, Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Naomie Harris, Bérénice Marlohe, with Ben Whishaw. You can also follow the twitter @007 for updates as well, as they've been tweeting production photos and more info. Columbia Pictures already has Skyfall set to hit theaters on November 9th. We'll continue you to keep you updated on all things Bond, as it looks like 2012 will be a big year for Agent 007.
