  • No Time to Die
    No time to die by Barry Robinson ho is your favourite Bond? Like Doctor Who, there have been so many of them, it’s getting difficult Wto choose. Everyone has an opinion, but for me Sean Connery is the quintessential Bond that everyone else has to live up to. He was suave, balancing wry humour and effortless charm with physical prowess and a dynamic magnetism. Critics have argued that the current Bond, Daniel Craig, is the one who stays true to Ian Fleming’s original intent and is the one Fleming himself would have chosen. This may not make him the world’s favourite Bond, but maybe it makes him the best. We have, perhaps, only one more film with Craig as Bond in order to make up our minds, as the latest Bond film to His closest followers were distraught and depressed, and giving be released—No Time to Die—is reportedly his up on yet another charismatic leader’s failed attempt to rescue last in the role. them, they returned to their former lives.

  • And He Strikes Like THUNDERBALL!
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ...and he strikes like THUNDERBALL! “The trouble about writing something specially for a film is that I haven’t got a single idea in my head! Ian Fleming to Kevin McClory – 29th April 1959 Fresh on the heels of the announcement that Danjaq LLC, the producer of the James Bond films, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), the long-time distributor of the Bond films, have acquired all the rights and interests relating to James Bond from the estate and family of the late Kevin McClory, after legal and business disputes that have arisen periodically for over 50 years – December 18th 2013 will see the auction at Bonhams (Knightsbridge) of a number of unique and historically important items related to the labyrinthine story of the writing and subsequent film project that would eventually evolve into the fourth James Bond film Thunderball (1965) – the Biggest Bond of All! The legal battles began when James Bond creator Ian Fleming turned the first James Bond script, which he co-created in 1959 with Kevin McClory and respected British screenwriter Jack Whittingham, into the novel THUNDERBALL (1960) excluding the two men from any credit. In 1961, McClory (initially together with Whittingham) sued Fleming for plagiarism and after 10 days he won not only significant financial damages but also the film rights to THUNDERBALL. In 1965 in a strained collaboration with the established Bond producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R. ‘Cubby’ Broccoli, Kevin McClory produced the film Thunderball starring Sean Connery as James Bond 007, directed by Terence Young with the main title theme famously sung by Tom Jones.
