Sony Pictures has unveiled a new Skyfall trailer set to the theme song recorded by Adele.

The video features footage shot in Scotland, Shanghai and Istanbul as well as at the famous home of the Bond franchise, Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.

Yesterday (October 5), a preview clip showing Daniel Craig as 007 and Naomie Harris as Eve was released to mark the 50th anniversary of Bond on the silver screen.

Grammy award winner Adele’s theme song was also officially unveiled at 0:07 UK time as part of the celebrations.

Within hours of its release, ‘Skyfall’ – co-written by Adele and producer Paul Epworth, with whom she worked on ‘Rolling in the Deep’ – had shot to the top of the iTunes download chart.

The song’s soaring vocals – which stand in contrast to recent efforts by Madonna and Jack White – have drawn comparisons to classic Bond themes recorded by Dame Shirley Bassey.

“It was also a lot of fun writing to a brief, something I’ve never done, which made it exciting,” said Adele, who was initially said to be “a little hesitant” to pen and record the track.

The star, who later “fell in love” with the Skyfall script, added: “I’ll be back combing my hair when I’m 60 telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day I’m sure.”

Skyfall is released in the UK and Ireland on October 26. A US release will follow on November 9.
