Entertainment's upcoming motion picture SKYFALL™, in UK theatres 26th

agent Eve (played by Naomie Harris), will be shown on the Land Rover stand
during the second press day on Friday 28 Sept.
Jaguar Land Rover provided a total of 77 vehicles to the SKYFALL
production, including the Land Rover Defender, Range Rover and Jaguar XJ
for use both on-screen and as production support vehicles.
Speaking at Pinewood Studios, where Bond was filmed, Co-Producer Andrew
Noakes, a veteran of 11 James Bond films, said: "Bond is
quintessentially British and Jaguar and Land Rover are two of the most
established and globally recognised British brands, so it was a natural
step for us to involve them in the film."
Alongside Daniel Craig as James Bond, the cast includes; Dame Judi Dench,
Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Bérénice Marlohe, Naomie Harris, Ben
Whishaw and Albert Finney.
Global Brand Director for Land Rover John Edwards said: "Land Rover
is extremely proud to be associated with the new James Bond film SKYFALL.
The iconic Land Rover Defender is recognised around the world for its
rugged appeal and the Range Rover is the pinnacle of SUV luxury and
capability. Both vehicles are renowned as examples of excellence in
British design and engineering."
Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director for Jaguar said: "The Jaguar
XJ is the most advanced technological vehicle that Jaguar currently
produces. Constructed out of aluminium, its chassis is lightweight yet
immensely strong allowing the car to blend responsive handling with
effortless cruising over long distances. The XJ benefits from the very
latest generation of entertainment and comfort technologies, and together
with its award winning design, creating a unique combination of luxury,
technology and performance which is unparalleled."
The film, from Albert R. Broccoli's Eon Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, is directed by Academy Award®
winner Sam Mendes and stars Daniel Craig, who returns for his third film
as James Bond 007. SKYFALL will begin its worldwide roll-out in the UK and
