The second official still from the set of the 23rd James Bond adventure, "Skyfall", starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, , was released on 007.com today. The shot shows Dame Judi Dench as M being directed by Sam Mendes in the underground bunker set back in November.

Check out 007.com, at 0700 GMT on Wednesday, for Sam Mendes' first 'Skyfall' videoblog: "The roots of my doing this Bond movie start way before anybody approached me because, like everyone else, I have my own personal relationship with Bond which began when I was I suppose about nine or ten years old. I’ve always been a fan of the movies."
