Time to tell that poolside image of Daniel Craig as James Bond: sorry, you’ve been disavowed. Early this morning 007.com revealed what EON Productions is calling the real first image of Daniel Craig as James Bond in the new film Skyfall, which is being directed right now by Sam Mendes and photographed by Roger Deakins.
That’s a hint of the new shot, above. Check out the full thing below. Read More »

This year will see the release of the new James Bond film, Skyfall, but that’s only part of the Bond festivities for 2012. This year is also the 50th anniversary of James Bond on film, and there is no way anyone who is keyed into what’s going on with film will be able to ignore that.
Today Bond directors John Glen (For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights & Licence To Kill), Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, Casino Royale) and Michael Apted (The World Is Not Enough) with special guests Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) and Caterina Murino (Casino Royale) appeared at on a panel at the Consumer Electronics Show to celebrate Bond.
They announced that, among other things to make Bond fans happy, the entire 22-film series, from Dr. No to Quantum of Solace (not including the non-canon movies Casino Royale ’67 and Never Say Never Again) will be released on Blu-ray in one massive box set called Bond 50. Read More »
How good is Daniel Craig in Skyfall? So good that producer Michael G. Wilson reportedly wants Craig to play James Bond for another five films, bringing him to a grand total of eight. (Even if the lackluster Quantum of Solace makes it seem as if he’s only done one so far, rather than two.) That would make Craig the longest-running Bond — if they can get him to sign. Read More »
We’re still mired in the Bond 23 guessing game as the shoot date of the movie approaches. We know that Sam Mendes is directing Daniel Craig and a few other returning cast members in the movie, and that it will shoot partially in India and Istanbul.
The title of the movie has been a mystery and still is — that’s why we’ve just called it Bond 23 for some time — but now there are reports that suggest the film could be titled Skyfall. Read More »

Confirmed details on Sam Mendes‘ Bond 23 are still scarce, but it seems screenwriter John Logan may have let slip a very useful detail about the villain. At a talk earlier this week, Logan hinted that iconic Bond baddie Ernst Stavro Blofeld just might be making an appearance in the upcoming film. Logan didn’t go so far as to actually announce anything, but hey, until we have a better idea of the plot, we’re gonna sit here and read into every dubious crumb of information that gets out.

Jennifer Lawrence is reportedly leading the pack of actresses vying for David O. Russell‘s The Silver Linings Playbook, ahead of the likes of seemingly every rising (or recently risen) starlet in town. Elizabeth Banks, Kirsten Dunst, Blake Lively, Rooney Mara, Rachel McAdams, Andrea Riseborough, and Olivia Wilde were all among Lawrence’s competitors for the part. If the deal closes, Lawrence would begin shooting this fall after The Hunger Games wraps.
Based on a novel by Matthew Quick, the film will star Mark Wahlberg as a former high school teacher who’s just been released from a four-year stint at a mental institution, into the care of his mother. Lawrence would be playing a troubled young widow who eventually becomes a love interest for Wahlberg’s character. [ThePlaylist]
After the jump, Annette Bening mothers Kristen Wiig and Rhys Ifans gives some disappointing news.

Briefly: We still don’t know very much at all about the twenty-third James Bond movie, other than that it will shoot this fall with Daniel Craig and Judi Dench reprising their roles as James Bond and M, respectively, under the direction of Sam Mendes. Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan are writing, and there may be parts for Javier Bardem and/or Ralph Fiennes, but those are not confirmed.
The latest report is that Naomi Harris, famous for 28 Days Later and the Pirates of the Caribbean films, is in talks for Bond 23. The first report came from the UK tabloid News of the World, but was later confirmed by EW and other outlets. We know nothing about what character she might play — ‘Bond girl’ being the only tag right now — but it’s a start. The still untitled twenty-third James Bond film will be released on October 26, 2012 in the UK and Ireland, and November 9 in the rest of the world.

A while back, it was rumored that British actor Michael Sheen was in talks to play Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the next James Bond movie. Blofeld is one of the classic Bond villains, having appeared in three of Ian Fleming’s novels and six of the Bond films. His appearance has changed over the years — sometimes he looks like a bald, scarred Donald Pleasance, other times like a handsome, bearded Max von Sydow. But his most recognizable trademark is his fluffy white cat, which he’s frequently seen petting in a most sinister way. (If you couldn’t guess, Blofeld is the inspiration for the Dr. Evil character from the Austin Powers films.)
Sadly, the Sheen rumor has since been proved to be false. Thanks to an appearance by Sheen on BBC Two’s Ruth Jones’ Easter Treat, however, we now have an idea of what he might’ve looked like as Blofeld. Watch the video after the jump.
