'Bond 24′ Update: Penelope Cruz Not a Bond Girl After All?

A couple weeks ago, we were privy to the exciting news that Penelope Cruz was set to follow in her hubby Javier Bardem's footsteps and share the screen with James Bond. Cruz as a Bond Girl? Who's going to argue with that, right? Well, prepare to wake up from this pleasant dream, folks, because it doesn't appear to be happening after all.

Damon Houx — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 03:54:39 +0000

Robert Rodriguez is someone who likes to keep busy. On top of the upcoming releases of 'Machete Kills' and 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For,' and his involvement with a 'From Dusk Till Dawn' TV adaptation, he'll also be directing the pilot for a series that will mimic the James Bond films, but give them a Mexican flavor.

Earlier today, a short list of the possible directors for 'Bond 24' was released. It missed a name. Sam Mendes, who helmed 'Skyfall,' is now back in the running to take on the next James Bond adventure.

The 2013 Oscars ceremony was rumored a while back to pay tribute to the 50 years of James Bond films by uniting the actors who've played 007 on the stage. Although one of the Oscars producers debunked that rumor not too long after the fact, there was indeed a portion of the show dedicated to the epic franchise.

As the Academy prepares to pay tribute to James Bond during next month's 2013 Oscar ceremony, the show's producers recently announced that one of the movie franchise's most memorable songs, the nominated "Skyfall," will be performed on stage by Adele. We are already marking this down as a "must see" moment of the night.

Watch Paul F. Tompkins Sing an Epic Version of 'Skyfall'

Emerald Catron — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:45:14 +0000

To be honest, this is the first time we’ve made it all the way through the theme song for the latest Bond movie. Maybe it’s the fancy suit, but comedian and ‘Best Week Ever’ host Paul F. Tompkins keeps us more entertained than Adele. It could be the dancers. Or the well-timed horn section. Or [...]

Damon Houx — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 03:30:53 +0000

'Skyfall' has become a monster hit, and is on track to be the most successful Bond film of all time (unadjusted, natch), as it's already crossed $100 Million domestically, is over half a billion worldwide, and shows no signs of stopping.

Emerald Catron — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 19:20:19 +0000

Maybe Adele's 'Skyfall' Bond song isn't for you, or maybe you really like a capella music. Maybe you just need maximum James Bond in your life at all times. Even if you don't like James Bond, it's got a mo

'Skyfall' Without Daniel Craig? Current James Bond Says "I've Been Trying to Get Out of This"

Nick Romano — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 15:30:12 +0000

'Skyfall' is finally making its US debut this week, but it's already gone above and beyond at the UK box office. Since its October premiere overseas, the latest James Bond flick has surpassed the country's sales of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' and has blown away the last two Daniel Craig-led Bond films, and the hopes are even higher for its release here.

But what if our current 007 actor wasn't around to bask in the success of 'Skyfall' (or 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace,' for that matter)? Despite the film's successes, talk has recently shifted to Craig as he revealed that he -- how can we put this delicately? -- kind of hates portraying James Bond.

10 Things You Didn't Know About James Bond

Danny Gallagher — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 21:26:32 +0000

It’s hard to imagine what the movies would be like without James Bond.

How Sean Connery Almost Came Out of Retirement to Star in 'Skyfall'

Mike Sampson — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:11:44 +0000

'Skyfall' is a movie very much intended to return James Bond to his classic roots; roots established by actors like Sean Connery. Connery hasn't starred in a movie since 2003's 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' (what a disappointing way to go out...) but his almost ten-year retirement almost ended with a role opposite the character that made him famous.

The Real Life Science Behind James Bond's Gadgets

Ruth Waxman — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:04:19 +0000

In anticipation of the upcoming release of 'Skyfall,' the 23rd installment of the James Bond franchise, we've explored five of our favorite Bond gadgets and put them to the test of reality. It's every guy's (and probably girl's) dream to have their own real life Q and his accompanying gadgets. But how many of these are accurate portrayals of reality and how many are far-flung fantasies that belong on the big screen?

James Bond's Two-Part Movie Plot Is a No Go, Says Daniel Craig

Eric Walkuski — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:18:48 +0000

Earlier this week we learned some potentially huge James Bond news. A report circulated that 'Skyfall' screenwriter John Logan (who we know is returning for the series' next installment) had secretly plotted a two-part plot line for 'Bond 24' and '25,' which would be a rather major turn of events. Today, however, we're learning from 007 himself not to believe the hype.

James Bond Killed Lincoln?

Kyle Dowling — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:26:36 +0000

Who knew we were mistaken about Abraham Lincoln’s assassin all these years? Thanks a lot, U.S. History 101! It turns out that John Wilkes Booth’s innocence has been completely overshadowed by our blind adoration of a certain British spy. It wasn’t Booth who killed President Lincoln; it was James Bond! (Our apologies, John, even if [...]

While the latest James Bond flick 'Skyfall' inches closer to its November 9 release date, we've only just received word that one of its co-writers John Logan will be returning to pen the script for the next movie in the franchise. Though the storyline for 'Bond 24,' planned for a late 2014 release, is under wraps, we've just learned another piece of information that reportedly links the next two James Bond movies together.

POLL: Would You Like to See a Black James Bond?

Nick Romano — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 17:51:06 +0000

James Bond movies have been thrilling audiences for years, and fans are just as excited for the 23rd installment 'Skyfall' to hit theaters as they were back in the days of 'Dr. No.' Needless to say, 007 is one of those characters that will live on long after we're all gone, but the franchise still faces the never-ending task of making this secret agent character and story line just as interesting to watch as the previous films.

This has partly been accomplished with the numerous actors portraying Bond -- Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Barry Nelson, Daniel Craig, etc. -- but are we now ready to see someone completely different take on the role? Are we ready to see a black James Bond?
