In March, Empire reported that Sam Mendes, who directed the 23rd James Bond film, Skyfall, would not return to direct Bond 24. This was bad news because Skyfall was a critical and commercial success. After the lukewarm Quantum of Solace, Mendes had steered the ship back into Casino Royale territory.
How lucky are we, to have had two incredible Bond films within a span of 6 years? It’s a bit of a Bond renaissance if you ask me and it could continue if this next bit of news pans out the way we want it to…
Daily Mail reports that Christopher Nolan has been approached to direct the next James Bond film.
Daily Mail says informal talks have begun between Nolan’s representatives and the producers of the almighty Bond films.
Although this is exciting news, Nolan is currently working on his sci-fi epic, Interstellar. Would this affect his ability to direct Bond 24?

Yesterday, we showed you the new trailer for The Dead 2: India. We wanted to bring Daily Dead readers more information on the upcoming zombie movie and Howard J. Ford provided us with new plot details:
“Another darkly mysterious Continent becomes an inhospitable dead zone in The Dead 2: India. The highly anticipated follow-up to the award-winning Ford Brothers’ critically acclaimed zombie road movie The Dead sees the cult commercial franchise move to the hustle and bustle of India as the devastating outbreak takes hold. Set against the spectacular vistas and stunning scenery of Rajasthan, known as The Land of the Kings and one of the world’s first and oldest civilizations, The Dead 2: India puts the Ford Brothers’ unique apocalyptic vision on a far bigger canvas in terms of breathtaking scope, thrilling action, death-defying stunts, emotional resonance and spine-tingling fright.

An amazingly dedicated and patient group from Bricktease have created a remarkably awesome remake of the first scenes of Casino Royale with near perfect detail — out of Legos. Even the water is made out of tiny Lego pieces. It is a simply brilliant recreation and definitely worth the three minutes or so to watch. In fact the only thing we're not sure about is the slightly creepy smile from Lego Daniel Craig.
You can also watch a video clip of the Lego remake below with the original next to it so you can see just how incredible a feat this really is. We want a sequel.

We've always been big fans of Lego-inspired art, but this shot-for-shot remake of the opening scene of "Casino Royale" makes us love James Bond -- and Legos -- even more.
The short clip manages to maintain the intriguing details of the original 007 movie, including black-and-white fight sequences and sweat-inducing interrogation dialogue...except everything is acted out using plastic figurines. Bricktease, an online community for "everything Lego," is responsible for the detailed sequence above.
You can compare Bricktease's work to the original film here; let us know what you think of Lego Bond in the comments. For more impressive Lego reimaginations, check out Mike Stimpson's photographs in the slideshow below.

Warner Bros. has moved a couple of movies around in their release schedule. They moved 300: Rise of an Empire from this August to March 7th, 2014. Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution explained the move saying,
Moving 300: Rise of an Empire to March 7 continues in the tradition of the first 300, and kicks off the Spring movie-going season in epic style. The film is on track to become all that audiences have come to expect from the franchise.
One of the things not mentioned in the news was that the film was one of the movies affected by the recent financial problems of the visual effects house Rhythm & Hues. I'm sure that had something to do with it as well. There will need to be more time to get the effects heavy film ready for release.
The studio also ended up shifting the release of Tom Cruise's sci-fi action »

New versions of Barbarella, Lawrence of Arabia, Psycho, The Avengers and Zombieland are also coming to the small screen
His fondness for fava beans and a nice chianti is well documented, but when Hannibal Lecter returned in his latest incarnation it was in less charted territory.
After the series of books by Thomas Harris and a string of hit films, the world's most popular serial killer has moved to television for the first time.
Bryan Fuller's acclaimed adaptation, which launched in the UK on Sky Living last week, is part of a boom in big-screen properties being adapted for TV. After Psycho (adapted in the Us as Bates Motel) and the small-screen take on the Woody Harrelson movie Zombieland, (part of a move by Amazon into TV production), Joss Whedon is making a TV version of his Avengers film and there will be two competing mini-series of Lawrence of Arabia, »

Review Simon Brew 11 May 2013 - 19:43
Neil Gaiman's second Doctor Who story brings in the Cybermen. Here's our spoiler-filled take on Nightmare In Silver...
This review contains spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here.
Nightmare In Silver
We wonder if, having got to the end of Nightmare In Silver, that there's a core of Doctor Who fans who categorise the episode as 'not the one we expected'. We'd probably put ourselves in that camp too to an extent. We're not quite sure what we thought we were going to get when it was revealed that Neil Gaiman was reinventing the Cybermen. But Nightmare In Silver feels a little different, which is mainly a positive thing here.
The whole episode, after all, was bathed in sci-fi. The setting of a futuristic theme park - Hedgewick's World Of Wonders here (which, by the map, looked like it would be an ace day »

When Only God Forgives premieres next month at Cannes, listen carefully. Some films are employing very strange instruments to get the sounds they want
Cristal Baschet
Only God Forgives (2013)
What is it? It looks a bit like a large glockenspiel with sculpted metal tear drops attached.
Who built it? French instrument-makers and artists Bernard and François Baschet, in 1952.
How does it sound? It creates "a unique sense of melancholy and foreboding", says Cliff Martinez, the ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer who worked with Nicolas Winding Refn on the soundtracks for Drive (2011) and Only God Forgives – which also stars Ryan Gosling, and premieres at Cannes the week after next. Both scores rely on the Cristal Baschet, which Martinez first saw at MoMA in New York when he was 10.
How do you play it? Martinez says it is "an art object that doubles as an all-acoustic, experimental instrument played with moistened »

"300: Rise of an Empire" is moving from a planned summer 2013 release to March 7, 2014.
At the same time, distributor Warner Bros. is moving the Tom Cruise sci-fi action movie "All You Need is Kill" to June 6, 2014 because it had been scheduled for March 7. Consider that a good sign for "Kill" -- the studio must be confident if they believe it's fit for the competitive summer schedule -- but another bad sign for "300."
For the few who believe that a sequel to "300" even sounded like a good idea in the first place, changing a release date from a not-so-great August opening to an even worse March date is not what a studio does to a tentpole they believe in.
Sure, the original "300" opened in March and took the industry by surprise to become a mega-hit, but the last movie Warner Bros. shifted from a planned summer release to March was "Jack the Giant Slayer, »

For the last 50 years, the James Bond franchise has produced some of the best action / adventure movies in cinema and those that were fortunate to land the role of James Bond have went on to become icons of film. Casino Royale has the distinction of being one of the top casino movies of all-time and other films such as Goldfinger and Dr. No, and others are considered cult classic. Daniel Craig has certainly made the role of James Bond his own, but there are some other actors that we would love to see take on the role of 007.
The star of films such as The Transporter, The Italian Job, Crank, War and The Expendables has that perfect balance of rugged good looks and kick ass fighting skills that you would want out of James Bond. Who needs suave when you can beat a man to death with his »

K5 Films, PalmStar Media Capital, Liberty Films and the estate of 'James Bond' author Ian Fleming, continue developing a feature based on the 1996 biography "Ian Fleming: The Man Behind James Bond", with Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son) attached to direct :
"...sportsman, womanizer, naval commander, world-traveler, and spy, the creator of the Cold War's archetypal secret agent was infinitely more complex and interesting than his iconic fictional character, 'Agent 007'.
"Fleming's wide-ranging and exciting life inevitably provided the plausible backdrop for his 'Bond' novels.
"Highly regarded in British naval intelligence for his international contacts, he master-minded numerous top secret operations, including 'Golden Eye', uncovered here for the first time.
"He was also fundamental in shaping the prototype CIA. Two months before his wedding to Ann O'Neill, the widow of a friend with whom he'd carried on a passionate affair for fifteen years, Fleming sat down to write his first book, »
