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:
“The World of Bond” montage of five decades of 007 thrills, »

If you know (or are) a fan of James Bond films, especially if you’re looking to expand your Blu-Ray collection, you’ll want to mark your calendars for September 25th. The full collection, along with some great bonus features, will be released as Bond 50, to celebrate 50 years of James Bond.
Beyond getting all 22 films, which come with over 100 hours of bonus features, there will also be an additional disc of bonuses, with all new featurettes, including The World of Bond, a Pop-Up Trivia optional ride through the entire franchise. While any 22-movie set is unlikely to come with an “automatic purchase” price tag, this is one that is sure to tempt quite a few fans. The entire set of Bond films is hard to pass up, and with the nearly unbelievable treasure trove of bonuses, it really is a collection that kicks up the value.

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 »

As the eagerly anticipated premiere of Skyfall, the twenty-third James Bond film, counts down to its October 2012 release, Boston area fans of Britain’s favorite secret agent are being afforded the rare opportunity to revel in all that has come before. The staff of the Somerville Theater (located on Davis Square in the Boston suburb of Somerville, Massachusetts), are in the midst of celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Ian Fleming’s super-spy on the big screen in a big way; with an ambitious year long series-encompassing twenty-two film retrospective. The architect of screenings is Ian Judge, the theater’s Director of Programming. 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. »

A new vlog from the set of the new Bond picture Skyfall has emerged (included below). The chief discovery: Dennis Gassner wears berets. Gassner, who hails from Canada not France, is someone whose work I've long admired. I first learned his name when he pulled off the semi-rare trick of a double Oscar nomination in one category competing with himself for Best Art Direction with Bugsy (1991) and Barton Fink (1991), two absurdly handsome films. Bugsy won but it's oh so satisfying that both nominations were deserved.
The narrative of this, it's going to be groundbreaking. It's going to be a new chapter. So it's really about finding things that are different and exciting for the audience to look at."

Other credits include The Golden Compass, Road to Perdition, The Man Who Wasn't There, Big Fish. In short he's up there with the best of 'em like Rick Heinrichs, »

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 »

Movie bosses are to mark the 50th birthday of the James Bond franchise this year by staging the biggest ever exhibition of iconic props from the spy films.
Eon Productions chiefs have released a dazzling array of costumes, gadgets and cars from the 007 movies to go on display in London in the summer.
The famous exhibits include Goldfinger henchman Oddjob's bowler hat, the metal teeth sported by Jaws in two 1970s Bond films, Scaramanga's pistol from The Man With The Golden Gun, 007's spacesuit from Moonraker, and a deck of tarot cards seen in Live and Let Die.
The flick-knife shoes worn by Spectre agent Rosa Klebb in From Russia with Love, a waterproof camera from Thunderball, Halle Berry's orange bikini from Die Another Day, Bond's underwater Lotus car from The Spy Who Loved Me, and Daniel Craig's famous blue swimming trunks will also be on display.
The exhibition will even feature some of Bond's personal effects, including his black American Express card and his passport - which reveals he travels under the false name Arlington Beech. »

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 »

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 »

Lucky for those of you in San Francisco who a big James Bond fans. The world famous Castro Theatre (website) is hosting a James Bond 50th Anniversary screening series, showing eight of the classic Bond films on the big screen as double- and triple-features coming up this weekend.

Former Bond star Roger Moore has admitted he was left shaken and stirred every time he had to shoot a firearm on the set of the superspy movies.
The British legend starred as 007 for 12 years, and appeared in such classics as Moonraker, Octopussy and The Spy Who Loved Me.
However, despite guns being part of his job playing James Bond, Moore reveals he struggled to hide his nerves whenever he pulled the trigger.
When asked about the most challenging aspect of playing the secret agent, Moore says, "Probably having to fire a gun and not blink.
"I'm a total coward so often blinked before I pulled the trigger." »
