The film also had a poster which could be seen outside cinemas as well on random walls on the streets of the UK. Including all the above the film had an intense and entertaining trailer which made it intriguing to watch and leaving the viewer feeling rather ambivalent about the film
The film starred James Floyd who plays Rashid the charismatic and shrewd member of a local gang who seeks to give his brother a different life - Mo who is played by Fady Elsayed.

The film was advertised in many ways such as through huge billboards and the sides of buses. The billboards were put up before the release of the film which is the the 26th of October in the UK, putting them up before the release would give the public a chance to research the film a bit more and be aware of Skyfall.

Having Adele sing the song brought even more attention to Skyfall as most people know Adele as the multi grammy winning and aritst of the year and so much more.
