The Biggest James Bond Film Festival - Ever!
May 2, 2008 - by Stuart Basinger
Well, not quite. But the city across from Washington, DC known as Crystal
City, Virginia is sponsoring a 'free' outdoor movie series every Monday night
from May 5th thru Sept 22nd. Every Eon produced OO7 film will be shown
from 1962's Dr. No to 2006's Casino Royale.
For more information, click on 21
Weeks of James Bond OO7.
This
film festival is across the river from my place of work, so I will be showing up
for some of these films.
From A View To An Insurance Policy
May 2, 2008 - by One India
English actor Daniel
Craig, who has insisted on doing his own stunts, has had his
body insured for up to 5 million pounds ($10 million American dollars). And,
with the second Bond movie promising to have more action, the actor's move may
be a wise one. Craig has already suffered a string of injuries while filming his
first outing, and guessing from the insurance
premium, it looks like the super spy will be in for more
action.
"It's fair to say that with this movie, Daniel's insurance premiums have
gone through the roof.
"I can't say for sure how much but there has been talk of him being insured
for at least a few million, even five," the Sun quoted a source at EON
Productions, the company behind the film, as saying. "On Casino
Royale Daniel did as many stunts as he could and he's been
doing the same with Quantum.
"But the stakes are a lot higher on this movie especially as there are a
lot more action sequences," the source added. But for Craig, it all seems
to be a walk in the park, and he admits that he loves every minute of it.
"I love having that adrenaline rush. It makes you realise that you are
mortal and that life must be enjoyed," Craig said.
And
to think that $10 million dollars was the budget on the first Star Wars film.
Has Amy Winehouse Recorded A Bond Song?
May 2, 2008 - by OK Magazine
Reports are circulating that troubled Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse
has finished a possible theme song for the next James Bond film, Quantum of
Solace.
According to Mark Ronson, who is producing Amy's follow-up to the hugely
successful Back to Black album, he and the troubled songstress have
been in the studio putting together a track for the film, set to be released in
November, though he admits that it's not a sure thing at this point whether or
not the song will make the final cut.
While a spokesman for Winehouse's record label Island Records calls the Bond
rumors "speculation," they do admit that "it would be
lovely" if the "Rehab" singer were the latest in a long line of
big names to sing a Bond theme.
Hmm,
the vocals must be unique bouncing off the walls of the jail she is performing
in.
