Bond is back: Daniel Craig is spotted filming scenes for upcoming film Skyfall on a London rooftop alongside Naomie Harris

It may not hit cinemas until late next year but James Bond fans can already get excited about the next film.

Skyfall, the 23rd film of the Bond franchise, has began filming and looks set to entice fans as much as any of the other 22 films.

British actor Daniel Craig - who has returned to play the spy for the third time - was spotted filming on a rooftop in London today and looked very serious as he did so.

Serious face: Daniel Craig looks stern as he films scenes for the latest James Bond film Skyfall

He was joined by Naomie Harris, who plays the part of Eve - a field agent who joins Bond on his quest to track down whoever is threatening the MI6.

Wearing a black Winter coat with matching leather gloves and a grey scarf, Craig was no doubt feeling the cold as he stood on top of the building but managed to stay in character and keep his stern face even in between takes.

Harris also wore a grey checked Winter coat and a black scarf as the pair filmed what looked like quite a crucial scene.

Co stars: Craig was seen handing a black box to Harris as they filmed a tense scene for the upcoming movie

Craig was seen handing a black box to Harris that of course must contain something rather important.

But when the scene was up and the film crew prepared to do another take, Harris took the advantage to wrap up warm in a grey duvet as she hung around to continue filming.

The 28 Days Later star was thought to be taking on the role of Miss Moneypenny when the film was first announced but once her character's name was revealed, this speculation was laid to rest.

At a recent press release, Harris described Eve as 'believing she is Bond's equal, but she is really his junior.'

Another female character who Bond has issues with in the latest film is M, who will once again be played by Dame Judi Dench.

The head of MI6 sees her past come back to haunt her in this movie which results in Bond's loyalty with her being put to the test.

The film also stars Javier Bardem as the main villain - and no doubt the ultimate threat to MI6- and Ralph Fiennes is set to play a 'really interesting' character, which not much has been revealed about.

Skyfall is set to be released some time between late October and early December next year.

Plaudits for not using "Shaken and stirred"

something about rooftops and spies, half of Spooks seemed to happen up top.

Good to see Craig shaven again, but he's aged quite a bit.

I'm loving all the grey in Dan's hair. Dunno why, but I'm loving it, I tell yer! He really does look as old as the hills, but I think it's great that they're not trying a mutton-dressed-as-lamb routine with him (with dyed blond hair or whatever), which would probably be embarrassing.

'Naomie Harris who plays a field agent called M in the film'.

She does? I thought it was 'Eve'. And are we meant to infer from that that it's HARRIS who takes over from Dench?

Glad someone else noticed that.

I'd almost love to see it happen just for the reactions of some of our more tradtional members of the forum. ;)

At least he shaved that stupid stubble. Was he contracted to do Movember or something?

And yes, he's starting to get jowls to rival an American Bloodhound.

lol He definitely has some Russian style features, my initial thought was he doing a squinty eyed Steven Berkoff impression...or maybe his best Count Orlov but with hair perhaps?

I actually preferred Naomi's look at the press conference. I don't like cork-screw, curly hair. It's too frenetic. And Daniel is looking quite horrendous in some of these pictures. It's one thing to have a bit of character in your face...some wear and tear, so to speak...But Craig could easily pass for Vladimir Putin these days, and that's not a good thing.

So far we've seen some drama shots, some acting set pieces, but not a single stunt or action piece that I can recall. I like the absolute secrecy of the plot and of some of the characters, I'm hoping it is as tight-lipped as THE DARK KNIGHT was, and that were in for a few surprises.

Agreed Craig is looking his age these days. At least he lost the stubble now.

JSW, I can imagine the DCINB folks are being swayed by these photos of Craig. ;)

She's not looking particularly Bond Girl-esque either. I don't think Harris is a natural beauty; she's more of the Michelle Yeoh type of Bond Girl, and if they aren't made up to look really glamorous and beautiful then they simply are just average and plain.

I don't like this look for Harris so far, and I didn't like the way Halle Berry was made up in parts of DAD, either. I prefer long, straight hair. Not a good look for either Craig or Harris so far.

Can't help thinking what a good villain Craig could of been.

Armond approves of Naomie Harris.

Harris is usually wasted in British zombie-movie trash like 28 Days Later, but here, showing the same intellectual radiance she had as Ian Dury’s lover in Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, speaks in an accented English of Africa’s tutored classes that makes her the hopeful globalization principle incarnate.

She looked very hot in After the Sunset, the Brosnan movie. Her Skyfall look, however, doesn't exactly scream Bond girl. Maybe she won't be a romantic interest at all.

I thought Bérénice Marlohe was the main Bond girl. Has that ever been clarified?

No.

Re Harris's hair. I think she's got it nappy because if it was straightened it would just blown in the wind, and get in her face. This might not be her look for the rest of the film.

Or maybe it's not straightened because to do so would be considered selling out to the "white establishment".

Either way, both Craig and Harris look like they are having one of those 'not so fresh feeling' days.

This is better:
