MI6 Confidential is proud to announce our latest special publication: a limited-run 100-page perfect bound issue of the magazine taking a deep dive into one particular facet of the franchise. As the 007 cinematic franchise celebrated its golden 50th anniversary in 2012, Skyfall emerged not merely as a top-tier James Bond film but as a triumphant homage to its storied legacy - a fusion of audacious modernity and reverence for tradition.

This special edition of MI6 Confidential invites you behind the curtain of Skyfall’s production history and bold creative choices that solidified its place as a landmark in cinematic history. Delve into the logistical triumphs: the construction (and explosive destruction) of the Skyfall Lodge set, the adrenaline-fueled practicality of stunts performed on moving trains, and the heart-stopping tube crash created by the best VFX team in the business. Discover how MGM’s financial turmoil nearly derailed production, only for perseverance to yield the series’ first billion-dollar triumph.
