Watch 007 Escort the Queen in Danny Boyle's 2012 Olympics Short Film
Director Danny Boyle was given the monumental task of directing the Opening Ceremonies for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, which took place last night. As part of the festivities, the filmmaker directed a short film featuring Daniel Craig in character as James Bond, who is sent to escort the Queen of England herself to the opening ceremonies. Take a look at this six-minute film, that gives us an early taste of 007 before he returns to theaters later this year with Skyfall, along with an impressive aerial tour of London.
The 2012 London Summer Olympics will be broadcast through all of NBC's networks over the next few weeks. Daniel Craig returns as James Bond in Skyfall, arriving in theaters November 9.Skyfall was released November 9th, 2012 and stars Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Bérénice Marlohe, Albert Finney, Ben Whishaw. The film is directed by Sam Mendes.

This was pretty awesome the best part was when the interaction came in and you saw 2 people jump from the chopper into the stadium.
Danny Boyle's Opening Ceremony was the definition of what it means to be British as well as to create an event to inspire generations before and after

I had no idea Danny Boyle directed the opening ceremonies but that might explain why i enjoyed it so much. Much more than I thought I would.

Simply fantastic. Craig's facial reaction to the Churchill statue was priceless.
