George Lazenby Upset About 007's New Tipple
23 May 2012 12:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
One-time James Bond George Lazenby has lashed out at moviemakers for trading 007's signature cocktail for beer in Skyfall, insisting they've broken a sacred tradition.
Earlier this year, film bosses announced that Daniel Craig would sip cold Heineken in the new Bond movie after signing a reported $45 million (GBP28 million) marketing deal with the Dutch beer company.
And now Lazenby, who played Bond in 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, has voiced his disapproval, insisting the superspy should always be a vodka Martini man .
Taking a shot at the movie bosses for abandoning long-standing tradition just to make a profit, he tells TMZ.com, "(Filmmakers) go where the money is".
And the Australian actor insists chiefs could have at least selected a better brew: "It's not the best beer out there, either." »

Former James Bond actor George Lazenby, who played 007 in the 1969 crime action adventure ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,’ is upset the upcoming Bond film has let go of the spy’s signature martini for a corporate sponsored-beer, TMZ is reporting. The upcoming action adventure thriller ‘Skyfall,’ which is being directed by Sam Mendes, has closed a reported $45 million deal with Heineken.

Battle of the James Bonds: Ex-007 Slams New Film for Choosing Heineken Over Martinis
23 May 2012 9:23 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
According to George Lazenby, some James Bond rites should remain sacred—like 007's love for vodka martinis. The actor who played the suave secret agent in 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service has lashed out at the reported $45 million product placement deal producers inked with Heineken that will find Bond swilling the Dutch beer instead of his signature drink in the forthcoming Skyfall. You might say he was shaken, not stirred, by the announcement. Talking to TMZ, Lazenby slammed the filmmakers' decision, saying it was regrettable to see them "go where the money is."

Former James Bond Not Happy With Heineken
23 May 2012 6:18 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
James Bond's Heineken deal is not kosher for all former James Bonds.
In "Skyfall," the 23rd Bond film, the suave MI6 agent will forgo his usual shaken martini in favor of the classic Dutch beer. The deal -- which netted the production a reported $45 million -- caused much consternation from Bond fans when it was announced, and now George Lazenby has come out against it as well.
Lazenby, who played Bond in the 1969 film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," reportedly told TMZ that the deal was bad for many reasons, not the least being that Heineken isn't "the best beer out there."
He also added that the Bond filmmakers "go where the money is," something that current Bond star Daniel Craig would likely agree with.
"We have relationships with a number of companies so that we can make this movie," Craig told Moviefone when asked about the Heineken deal. "The simple fact is that, »

MGM’s celebration of James Bond’s 50th anniversary includes this collection, which includes all 22 action films in the 007 series, a few new special features and promotion for the 23rd movie, Skyfall.
The Bond 50 set also represents the only collection with all the movies on high-definition Blu-ray.
