"Skyfall" Wraps & New Blu-ray Details
23 May 2012 6:47 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Filming on "Skyfall", the much anticipated 23rd James Bond feature, wrapped this week in Turkey reports MI6. Daniel Craig reportedly finished his scenes this past Saturday and was spotted flying out to New York City on Sunday.
Second unit photography is still taking place this week in Adana in southern Turkey where scenes for the pre-titles sequence are being done. Shooting on the film began in early November, making "Skyfall" the longest shoot for a Bond feature since 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".
One good bit of news is all that work should show up on screen. Most Bond features clock in at a little over two hours, but the previous entry "Quantum of Solace" was an exception as it ran for just 106 minutes. Now, producer Michael G. Wilson appeared on BBC Breakfast and said don't expect such shortcutting this time - "It'll probably be longer, although we really »

Blu-ray Release Date: Sept. 25, 2012
Price: Blu-ray $299.99
Studio: MGM Home Entertainment/20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
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. But it still doesn’t have Never Say Never Again, the 1983 unofficial Bond movie, although the set does have Thunderball, which is the same story (and Sean Connery even stars in both as the celebrated British spy).
Back in 2007, the James Bond Ultimate Collector’s Set arrived on DVD, containing all the franchise’s films at that time. The Bond 50 box includes everything in that DVD set, plus 2008′s Quantum of Solace, but all in Blu-ray.
The new special features on Bond 50 are:

James Bond Retrospective: Octopussy (1983)
15 May 2012 3:15 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
To mark the 50th Anniversary of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and with filming almost complete on James Bond’s 23rd official outing in Skyfall due for release later this year, I have been tasked with taking a retrospective look at the films that turned author Ian Fleming’s creation into one of the most recognised and iconic characters in film history.
For Octopussy, the thirteenth official James Bond film, 1983 proved to be rather unlucky. After a lengthy court battle with the co-writer of Thunderball, Kevin McClory, Albert R. Broccoli’s Eon Productions had lost the right to use Bond’s nemesis Blofeld and his organisation Spectre in any of their films. McClory had been trying since 1974 to get his own rival Bond film made but due to a lack of financial backing and legal action from United Artists and the Fleming Trustees his project »

Jason Solomons takes a ride in James Bond's Aston Martin, reports on Woody Allen's Cannes plans and gets lost in translation
Driving licence to kill
Trash fulfilled a boyhood dream last week when visiting the Bond in Motion exhibition down at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, Hampshire. The museum's curators allowed me to sit in the Aston Martin DB5. Yes, the very car I played with as a child, my first bit of movie memorabilia, and I was now sitting in it, feeding the smooth walnut steering wheel through my hands, just as Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan had done.
What struck me was how the leather interior smells of espionage and the driving seat doesn't go back very far, so you really struggle to get your legs under the wheel, but the doors make a lovely, old-fashioned thud when you open and close them. I'm not sure »

James Bond Retrospective: For Your Eyes Only (1981)

To mark the 50th Anniversary of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and with filming almost complete on James Bond’s 23rd official outing in Skyfall due for release later this year, I have been tasked with taking a retrospective look at the films that turned author Ian Fleming’s creation into one of the most recognised and iconic characters in film history.
Following on from Bond’s previous mission into outer space for Moonraker, which although it was a huge success at the box office provided some of the worst excesses of the series so far preferring a more humorous approach over the serious spy thrills of the early days in the character’s long history. The film had also proved to be a costly exercise requiring co-financing from the French wing of United Artists to cover the budget. Series producer Albert R. Broccoli wisely »

007 Legends: 5 Best & 5 Worst Potential Missions
23 April 2012 11:48 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Coinciding with the 50th Anniversary of the Bond series, anticipation couldn’t be any higher for Daniel Craig’s third turn as the iconic secret agent in the upcoming Skyfall.
Directed by Sam Mendes with a cast that includes Judi Dench, Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes, Skyfall features a smorgasbord of respected Oscar talent. It even has the legendary Coen Brothers regular Roger Deakins on cinematography duties, making it clear that this isn’t just any run of the mill Bond film. But while excitement is high for Bond’s 23rd outing on the big screen, the secret agent also has to compete with the London Olympics and the Queens Golden Jubilee for the world’s attention.
As well as the release of Skyfall and a 50th anniversary Blu-ray box set of all 22 Bond films, a celebratory video game titled 007 Legends has also been recently announced. Best described as a »

Stanley Kubrick: Master of Contradictions
9 April 2012 11:53 AM, PDT | The Moving Arts Journal | See recent The Moving Arts Journal news »
Who are the great American film directors? More to the point, who do we think are the great American film directors? Well, there’s Ford, of course, the Zeus of the American pantheon, by turns comic, epic, maudlin and humane. Then there’s Welles, the ill-fated genius, abused by producers but beloved of critics. Spielberg, even in his seventh decade, is still the boy wonder; Scorsese the mad scientist. Griffith is the wise forefather, deeply flawed but idolized nonetheless, while Hawks is ageless, just as sly and self-assured as he was at the time of “The Big Sleep” (1946).
Kubrick, however, beats them all.
Is there anyone more respected or, with the possible exception of Hitchcock, recognizable? Turn on any Stanley Kubrick movie and you should know instantly, whether you’ve seen it before or not, who the film’s director is. The peerless, pristine images; the long, empty corridors; the upturned, »

More casting news for new James Bond film, Skyfall
4 April 2012 11:03 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
A new face joins Daniel Craig and the cast of the new 007 movie, Skyfall…
Filming may be well underway on the upcoming James Bond adventure, Skyfall, but there’s still a bit of time for a brand new piece of casting news.
Notwithstanding the fact that the film has to be finished and in British cinemas by the end of October, there’s still been time to add Tonia Sotiropoulou to the movie. She’s a Greek actress who, according to MI6-hq, is set to play Bond’s girlfriend in the new film.
Our guess is that she won’t last too long (although that’s speculation on our part, rather than giving any of the game away). She’s filming a couple of scenes, starting later this month, and had originally auditioned for the role taken by Berenice Marlohe.
This next part features a spoiler for the opening of the film, »
Skyfall Seeks Out One More Bond Girl, Tonia Sotiropoulou; New Scene Details Revealed

Lucky Daniel Craig will have his hands full not only with Bérénice Marlohe and Naomie Harris in Skyfall, but also beautiful Greek actress Tonia Sotiropoulou (Τόvια Σωτηροπούλου). MI6 point out a post on her Facebook page which reads, ""Dear friends I officially announce I got a part in J. Bond new film!!! Turkey here I come! Thank u all for you love and support! This is officially the happiest day of my life bitches!!!!" Her role in the film, [Spoiler - Highlight Text To Read]will apparently be in the opening sequence (set in Istanbul) where James Bond is smuggled after he is assumed dead. This opening is also said to be reminiscent of the one from You Only Live Twice. [End Spoiler] Pretty intriguing, eh? She originally auditioned for the role of Sévérine, losing out on that particular role to Marlohe. However, another role was found for her and she will »
James Bond Retrospective: The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

With James Bond well established as a worldwide phenomenon raking in countless millions at the box-office, the tenth film in the series, The Spy Who Loved Me proved unexpectedly problematic in its journey to the screen and marked the longest gap between films since the series began. Due to personal financial issues Bond producer Harry Saltzman decided to sell his 50% stake in Danjaq S.A., the company he had established with Albert R. Broccoli to produce the Bond series.

To mark the 50th Anniversary of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and with filming well underway on James Bond’s 23rd official outing in Skyfall due for release later this year, I have been tasked with taking a retrospective look at the films that turned author Ian Fleming’s creation into one of the most recognised and iconic characters in film history.
With Roger Moore well and truly established in the lead role after just one film, work began on a follow-up to Live And Let Die almost as soon as it was released into cinemas. Keen to capitalise on the renewed success of the character, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman chose Fleming’s final Bond novel, The Man With The Golden Gun as their ninth film featuring the British secret agent.

Blu-ray Review: Hideo Gosha’s Viscerally Entertaining ‘Three Outlaw Samurai’
28 February 2012 6:30 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Hideo Gosha’s spectacularly entertaining 1964 feature directorial debut, “Three Outlaw Samurai,” is a samurai film for moviegoers who aren’t necessarily fans of the samurai genre. At a running time of 93 minutes, the picture is briskly paced and packed with suspenseful set-pieces, while centering its narrative on a partnership between three men who could easily be dubbed, “Good,” “Bad” and “Ugly.”
Though the film essentially functions as a prequel to Gosha’s Japanese television show of the same name, moviegoers won’t need any familiarity with the material to get immediately caught up in the action. Tadashi Sakai’s in-your-face cinematography often slants to a diagonal angle while closing in on the agonized faces of foes as they fight to the death. When the sword meets flesh, Gosha doesn’t spare the audience of the blood that follows.
Blu-ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
