The first trailer for the new James Bond film Skyfall has been released online.

The 23rd Bond movie sees Daniel Craig in his third outing as agent 007, attempting to track and eliminate a threat that could bring down the whole of MI6.

The trailer features Bond playing word association while under interrogation and gives us brief glimpses of an action sequence in which 007 runs through the London Underground.

Despite the trailer being largely free of dialogue, Bond says at its conclusion: "Some men are coming to kill us... we're going to kill them first."

Directed by Sam Mendes, Skyfall features an all-star cast including Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Bérénice Marlohe and Naomie Harris, and is due to open in UK cinemas on Friday 26 October.

The new movie's release marks the 50 years since Sean Connery starred in the very first Bond film, Dr No.
