Veteran actress Lana Wood was hospitalised on Tuesday night after reportedly suffering a severe allergic reaction.

A picture obtained by TMZ.com shows Wood being treated while lying on a sidewalk before she was taken to a local hospital.
Wood's face swelled further, causing her eyelids and mouth to close, but she was later discharged when her symptoms subsided, according to the website. »

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:

First Look: 'Skyfall' Teaser Trailer
21 May 2012 1:36 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
James Bond fans have been given their first glimpse of the highly anticipated new 007 film, Skyfall - you can watch it above.
The trailer will raise even more questions as to where this takes Bond, as it shows Daniel Craig in an interrogation room, but he's the one fielding the questions from another agent, while M (Judi Dench) and another officer (Ralph Fiennes) observe.
And we hear, enigmatically, that the mention of 'Skyfall' - whatever that is - is what sends Bond out of the room, saying he's "done".
During the clip, we also see 007 stare at a row of coffins with Union Jacks, presumably his lost colleagues, M staring reflectively out over a valley, a fall from a very high building, and 007 with fire behind him, as well as the seductive bulbs of Turkish mosques. It's all very dystopian.
Finally, we hear from 007 again - that "some »

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 »

Cannes Bosses To Screen Classic Bond Movies
14 May 2012 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Cannes Film Festival bosses are to mark 50 years of the James Bond franchise by screening five classic 007 movies at the event.
The suave superspy first burst onto the big screen in 1962's Dr. No and went on to become one of the icons of modern cinema.
To celebrate the franchise's 50th birthday this year, officials at this month's French film festival will screen 007's debut cinema outing along with its follow-up From Russia with Love, George Lazenby's sole turn as the spy in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Sean Connery's swansong in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever, and current Bond star Daniel Craig's debut in Casino Royale.
The films, which have all been digitally enhanced, will be shown free to the public at an outdoor theatre on Cannes Beach. The screenings mark the start of a year-long series of global events celebrating the franchise's anniversary.
In a joint statement, MGM and Sony executives said, "The screenings in Cannes mark a year-long celebration, including a return to theatres worldwide of some of the classic Bond films." »
2012 Cannes Film Festival Preview: Part 1 - Notable Titles

I have scheduled this first part of my Cannes 2012 Preview to publish while I am somewhere over the middle of the United States, on my way to New York where I will connect with a flight heading into Nice. I'll be arriving in Cannes some time around 1 Pm Cet and my third straight journey to the Cannes Film Festival will begin, an experience that has easily become the #1 highlight of my year when it comes to covering movies. As hard as I have to work to cover the festival each year, it is absolutely worth it and based on the selection this year it looks like it will be just as fascinating. To begin, the festival runs from May 16-27, but I will only be in town through the morning of the 24th. As a result, two films that probably would have made my top ten most anticipated movies list won't, »

Judge has not only been managing the nearly one-hundred year old theater for the past ten years, but he has long shared a history with the venue having grown up only a few blocks away from its gilded entrance. »

James Bond arrives at Cannes after 50 years
10 May 2012 8:45 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The new Bond movie is still in post-production, but celebrations of 50 years of Eon Bond films include screenings on the beach
The glitz and glamour of the Croisette seems like the natural habitat for a suave super-sleuth with expensive tastes, so it may come as some surprise that 007 is to visit the Cannes film festival for the first time later this month.
Eon Productions will not be debuting the new James Bond film, Skyfall, on the French riviera, however. Sam Mendes' movie, which arrives in cinemas on 26 October in the UK and on 9 November in the Us, is still in post-production. Instead, in the year of the 50th anniversary of the Eon 007 films, they will screen five of the best-known Bond entries on the Cannes beach, including the series debut Dr No, which was released in 1962. The other films, being shown as part of the Cinema de la Plage screenings, »

Natalie Wood's Sister Fears For Troubled Niece
3 May 2012 12:16 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Natalie Wood's sister fears for the life of her troubled niece Courtney, insisting the 38 year old has "spiralled out of control".
Courtney Wagner - the daughter of actor Robert Wagner and the late Rebel Without a Cause beauty Wood - was arrested on 22 April on suspicion of cocaine and heroin possession after cops were called to her California home to investigate reports of a domestic disturbance and the sound of gunfire. She was released after posting $10,000 (£6,250) bail.
And now the tragic icon's sister and Diamonds Are Forever actress Lana Wood has opened up about her grave concerns for Courtney, admitting the she turned to drugs once cops reopened the case into her famous mother's drowning last year.
She tells the National Enquirer, "My sister would be devastated if she knew how Courtney has ruined her life. She was Natalie's golden girl - the child she always longed for with R. J. (Wagner)... She was a stunning child and just so young when Natalie died. Both parents doted on her. But R.J.'s love hasn't saved her from a life that's spiralled out of control...
"She was rushed to the hospital some years ago after attempting suicide, but in the past few years the poor girl has become an emotional tragedy. For a time she was receiving psychiatric care... This is a terrible tragedy."
Natalie passed away in November, 1981, when Courtney was just seven years old. The investigation into her drowning death off the coast of California death has since been ruled a cold case. »
