Watch: Sam Mendes' First Video Blog for Bond 23 'Skyfall' Revealed

"Here was a real man in a real situation again." The very first video blog for Bond 23, Skyfall, has debuted on the official 007.com website (via ComingSoon). Taking a cue from The Hobbit, director Sam Mendes presents the first of hopefully many video blogs from the set of Skyfall, this time talking about why he was the perfect guy for the job. He also says some nice things about Daniel Craig, returning as Agent 007, and gives us a tease of the locations he's been shooting in England. "It is still possible to make a big, fabulous, glamorous, escapist movie and yet - at the same time, to say something about the world we're living in."

First Look: Better Photo of Daniel Craig Back as Bond for 'Skyfall'

By Alex Billington

He's back! Though it only took three weeks after everyone first complained "where's the gun?!" from the very first look at Craig in Skyfall (Bond 23), we finally have another official first look at Daniel Craig as Agent 007, this time with his pistol. The image was debuted on the 007.com website as "Bond is Back" seen in a scene set in Shanghai. This is the kind of imagery I've been waiting to see for this 23rd Bond film, since it's starting to look exactly like what a great Bond movie (photo) should look like. Gun and all! Plus "exotic" locations. Now I'm just wondering when we're going to see our first teaser trailer for this, too. Bring it on!

First Official 'Skyfall' Photo Features Daniel Craig as Bond in a Speedo

By Alex Billington

I guess it's honestly no surprise that our first photo and first look at Daniel Craig back as James Bond in Sam Mendes' Skyfall, the 23rd Bond film, features him in a speedo and nothing else. That's pretty much how they started with Casino Royale, too. So here we are once again, and here's Bond in skimpy shorts, no shirt, sitting poolside. Empire has debuted "Skyfall gold", the first photo of Craig as Bond "during filming of Skyfall at the London Four Seasons." It's not much, but because we're Bond fanatics here and will be following the Bond 50 year ahead, I couldn't help but share this. If not for all the ladies more than anything.

Watch: Totally Awesome 'Bond 50' Blu-Ray Box Set Official Trailer

By Alex Billington

All the Bonds, All the Girls, All the Action. Pardon my language, but oh f**ck yes! I've been waiting for this. MGM has been holding onto releasing the last few Blu-Rays in the Bond series because they've been waiting to unveil this bad boy. Coming out this year is the grand poobah, Bond 50, a Blu-Ray box set containing all 22 of the Bond movies on Blu-Ray in high definition (goes for ~$200). This is to die for. And to get you excited, HeyUGuys has found an official trailer for the set, and it's packed with Bond goodness from start to finish. It's not often we break our rules to mention Blu-Rays, but this is absolutely worthy of being watched.

Ben Whishaw is Playing a Young Q in Sam Mendes' 'Skyfall' Bond 23

By Alex Billington

"Must you touch everything?" Well this is odd casting, but we'll have to accept it. THR is reporting that Ben Whishaw (in Layer Cake, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, The Tempest, Cloud Atlas) will be playing a young agent Q in Sam Mendes' Bond 23, officially titled Skyfall, now shooting in England. Q is an iconic character from the original movies, played by one of my all-time favorite actors Desmond Llewelyn (seen right above), and hasn't appeared in the new Daniel Craig reboot yet. I didn't expect this kind of casting to be confirmed, but here we go. THR simply says that Whishaw is "reported to have been assigned the role."

Bond 23 Confirmed as 'Skyfall', Full Cast Revealed + Photos [Updated]

By Alex Billington

As we first heard last week, EON Productions is throwing a press conference in London today to announce the details on Bond 23, now confirmed as being titled Skyfall. The event included the film's producers, director Sam Mendes, and cast lead by 007 Daniel Craig and Judi Dench as M, as well as Bérénice Marlohe, Naomie Harris and Javier Bardem (as the villain) in person, plus Ben Whishaw, Albert Finney and Ralph Fiennes confirmed. The film will be a stand-alone story, written by John Logan, Neal Purvis & Robert Wade, and the title, Skyfall, has an "emotional resonance" we'll understand once we see it.

Check This Out: Massive, Detailed Infographic on James Bond's Cars

By Alex Billington

Hey Bond fans, do we have an infographic for you! I recently found this massive, 19,000px-tall infographic titled James Bond's Cars, or the "Historical Background of the Vehicles Driven by Legendary Agent 007." And when they say a historical background on the vehicles, they mean all of his vehicles, every last one, all 23. They cover just about every special car Q built for James, as well as vehicles that were stolen by Bond or driven at any point. He's driven 8 Aston Martins and 4 Fords (wha?) plus a wide variety of others, including Bentley, Rolls-Royce and that Lotus Esprit Turbo from For Your Eyes Only. Check this out below!

Rhys Ifans Joins the Cast of Sam Mendes' Upcoming 'James Bond 23'

By Alex Billington

More casting news for MGM's upcoming Bond 23, being directed by Sam Mendes. It was confirmed a few weeks ago that Javier Bardem, Naomie Harris and Ralph Fiennes were all officially cast in the new Bond film, now we also know that Welsh actor Rhys Ifans is joining. The news comes from The Telegraph (via Bleeding Cool) where they confirm: "Ifans will appear in the film, as well as Javier Bardem, who will play the baddie." They also add, "much of the filming will take place in South Africa." Unfortunately no details on who he'll play. Maybe a henchman? Either way, I'm extremely excited that a new Bond flick is in the works.

Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes & Naomie Harris Definitely in 'Bond 23'

By Ethan Anderton

Previously, we've heard rumors that both Ralph Fiennes and Javier Bardem were circling roles in Bond 23, the as yet untitled forthcoming sequel in the James Bond franchise starring Daniel Craig as Agent 007. In addition, though we haven't highlighted them, rumors have been circling that Naomie Harris (28 Days Later, Pirates of the Caribbean) was going to have a role in the film as one of the few signature Bond girls that show up in every installment. Now Baz Bamigboye seems to have confirmation that Bardem and Fiennes are already signed, and that Harris will play Miss Moneypenny, the staple Bond character.

Sony Re-Teaming with MGM to Co-Finance/Distribute James Bond 23

By Alex Billington

Briefly: I knew this would happen! Throughout all the proceedings surrounding MGM finally getting back on the right track, many kept wondering if another studio would end up winning rights to some of their big franchises like James Bond. Well, Sony Pictures, who distributed Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace to much success, has officially reached an agreement to "co-finance and theatrically market and distribute Bond 23 worldwide" in 2012, as well as Bond 24 after that. I really didn't expect Sony to give up this big franchise, plus its only getting better with Sam Mendes directing, and maybe Javier Bardem starring, next.

Check Out This Excellent Vintage Bond-Like Poster for Pixar's 'Cars 2'

By Alex Billington

The First James Bond-Cars Film Adventure! I've got a confession to make: Pixar really sold me with this whole James Bond mixed with Cars storyline. I'm hooked. And brilliantly designed posters like this are only making me more excited to see this, which I know is pretty much sacrilege to Pixar devotees who despise the first Cars. This new "vintage" poster for Pixar's Cars 2 recently hit the web and while I can't find its true origin, I owe credit to Upcoming Pixar and Cinema Blend for helping me find a high res version. I just love how perfectly classic James Bond it is, with the European villain-car guy and everything. Enjoy!

Ralph Fiennes Also Close to Joining Sam Mendes' James Bond 23

By Alex Billington

You may know him as Voldemort, you may know him as Hades, you may know him as Amon Goeth, and you may soon know him as Coriolanus. But it looks like British actor Ralph Fiennes may be joining the Bond universe, too. Baz Bamigboye of The Daily Mail (via The Playlist) is reporting that Fiennes is in talks for a role in James Bond 23, the upcoming Sam Mendes directed Bond movie that MGM gave the greenlight to for a late 2012 release. Word is that he's still in discussion and that it's not the same villain role that Javier Bardem is currently considering. Either way it's great, as it seems like Mendes is rounding up a hell of a cast.
