I've gone on record as saying that I didn't particularly care for the new James Bond title Skyfall, but really what's in a name? After seeing the new international trailer that dropped this week, I'm thinking they should have simply called it "Resurrection."

If the first two Daniel Craig Bond movies were simply meant to reset the character and present a more action-oriented spy series, then this upcoming film looks to be its honors thesis. Bond is reborn through his resurrection and it looks as though Her Majesty's Secret Service is more bad ass than ever.

The last time we checked in on this movie, it gave the world the super trailer, now it's quickening the heartbeats of Bond fans worldwide. Coupled with Craig's surprise turn in character for the London Olympics opening ceremonies this trailer serves as notice to Bourne that the old Brit still has a few tricks up his tuxedo sleeves.

Speaking of tricks, we get our first look at Ben Whishaw as tech guru Q. It seems that they've toned down the humor a bit in the part and went more in the geek direction. Chic geek, indeed.

Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think. Skyfall shakes, not stirs, its way into theaters on November 9.
