The makers of Spyfall promised it would be one of the year funniest films, perhaps unintentionally so if we are meant to judge by the teaser poster and melancholy trailer just release. Incidentally the teaser trailer at no point told the audience it was an advert for a Bond film. Truth in advertising...

The internet is awash with people outraged by EON selling out Bond to Heineken. So much so EON is dedicating valuable time and energy to try and put down these open acts of rebellion. So far the lukewarm rebuttals have only added to the aggravation, the mainline of defense (or chief excuse) is the...

The Bond Heineken controversy refuses to ‘just be a good boy and die’. While we have not had a lot to say about this issue… yet (problems with consume rental and hiring a marching band for the press conference), Maud Adams (Octopussy) has weighed in. She like many other fans have a big problem...

Ah, jeez right after we got done defending the Bond team in the last story this story comes up. Team Bond took to chain saws chopping down two old trees meeting with protest from local residents. No obvious defence suggests itself other than pointing out 100 year old tree can mean just about anything,...

Oh noes! The sky is falling!!! No Skyfall novelization. What has the world come to!?!?! Not that this should come as much of a surprise, the current neo-Bourne reboot has not had novelizations for either entry. The last Bond movie to have a tiein book was Die Another Day ten years ago. There are...

It’s a M related spoiler which most paying attention to the development of Bond 23 have suspected for a long time. Fist a little bit of casting news The Daily Mail reports the lovely Tonia Sotiropoulou is being touted as a new Bond Girl, she had tired out for the role of Severn, for...

Historically the Bond producers leave the theme until the last minute so it is very hard to tell if there is anything to these rumours in the first place. After the April Fools Day gag by the Sun about Craig supposedly opening the Olympics was taken so seriously by the rest of the medial...

File this one under strange next to the tinfoil hats. Besides the idea of Ms Broccoli’s EON Productions cooperating with the CIA on anything like this being extremely unlikely bordering on insane, the activities described sound like average goings on at a movie set. A shocking allegation hit Turkish media about the new James...

After all the trouble with a certain wildlife photographer you’d think EON would be a little more cautious in Turkey. As it turns out a group of Turkish High Schoolers easily bypassed security and got close enough to film part of the fight scene. The teens were apparently caught when one of them tried...

The Foraging Photographer posted an update to her blog explaining a little more about the situation, we have updated our original story to reflect this. From what we have read it does not seem the Military Byelaws in place at Hankley Common actually cover what the MPs were trying to enforce. While it is...

It seem sos far EON productions has resisted the urge to jump on the 3D Money train, however they will be submitting Spyfail to IMAX theaters to be digitally remastered for a release. Beyond our cynical nature it is a smart movie because IMAX release have demonstrated again and agian how valuable their...

Continuing the Broke Bond story, er, I mean the Budget Cut story from last week this item from the BBC seems to add credence to the earlier story. It appears Team EON once again were flirting with local leaders to get favors and permission granted only to walk away at the last moment. This has happening often enough in Spyfall to raise more than few questions about the production. A movie production firm has pulled...

Some understandable criticism for Bond 23′s mimicking of a real life funeral ceremony has erupted. Not to treat this situation too lightly, we do not know how it will appear in the movie, and after this public drubbing it may well never see the light of day. Discuss this in our forum: Bond faces...

‘Highly places sources’ are telling The Mirror Bond 23 (AKA Spyfail) is facing major budgets cuts, so much so they’re canceling all location shoots except for Turkey. Remember all the talk of exotic locals like India, South Africa, China, Bail? Well not so much, if the Mirror is to be believed Turkey is it. It...

New Rumour is that David Arnold is out for Bond 23 composer (AKA Spyfail ) , Thomas Newman is rumoured to be Arnold’s replacement. We had wondered how Arnold would balance his duties at the 2012 Olympics with his previous commitment to Bond, apparently he can not, or was not asked back. Discuss this...

Perhaps the second worst kept secret of Bond 23 since the title is Ralph Fiennes role allegedly as the new “M”. Suspected by fans since he was cast, apparently confirm by MovieWeb. No secret Judi Dench (who we do love) has been keen to leave the series for quite some time now, and Bond...

The Daily Mail & The Guardian are reporting Ben Whishaw’s role in Skyfall is Q (Of course the source for all of this is based on a tabloid story from the Sun.). The character Q disappeared from the silver screen ten years ago, as sadly we must note so did Ian Fleming’s and Cubby...

The silly season of unconfirmed rumours is not over. Last week we got a tip Gallagher was going to be the choice for Skyfall theme song. A few days later the story was everywhere, today Noel Gallagher completely disavows the story. I am inclined to believe him since he does not know who MGW...
