2. Co-writer Robert Wade is responsible for the film’s scary-good title — which came out of one late night of writing. As he told the Empire Podcast, he and long-time Bond writing partner Neal Purvis were looking for the name of Bond’s family home (something akin to Manderley in the Hitchcock film "Rebecca").

"It was two o’clock in the morning," Wade said, and the script had to go off, and I typed ‘Skyfall’. So it sort of fell out of the sky, actually. And I never thought that that would end up as the title of the movie. But it obviously struck a chord." The writers had no idea the name of Bond’s childhood home would become an Adele song.
