Just when you think that the whole ‘trailer for the trailer’ thing might have gotten out of hand, along comes the trailer for the first trailer for No Time To Die (Bond 25) and it just sucks you right in.
No Time To Die will open in April, 2020. The new trailer will premiere in two days.
With New Year’s Day, 2017 arriving on a Sunday, Monday becomes a statutory holiday – and what better way to celebrate the New Year than with a little espionage?
Esquire Channel is celebrating with its ‘Pierce Brosnan James Bond Marathon’ on Monday, January 2nd – and to help you get ready for 2017, there’s a little help from 007 in making your New Year’s resolutions following the break.
Like some of my fellow critic friends, I started the month with a Bond binge, by the time I got to the end of Diamonds Are Forever – the 3rd movie in the franchise, I slapped myself thinking “What am I doing?” I didn’t want to OD on Bond before seeing the latest installment in one of my favorite franchises. I love me some Bond, but I hated Daniel Craig‘s last three Bond films – yes even the critically and financially successful Skyfall (I know I’m alone on my island with this opinion). So I wasn’t particularly thrilled to sit through another emo Bond experience.
How do we celebrate Thanksgiving? With turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, pumpkin pie and whipped/ice cream and, of course, eight helpings of 007!
Syfy is shaking things up on Thanksgiving weekend with a James Bond Marathon. Beginning at 6am(5C) on Thursday, November 26th, the network kicks things off with the first Bond of all, Dr. No – followed by all four Pierce Brosnan Bonds (GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day).
Black Friday, November 27th brings Daniel Craig’s 007 in Casino Royale and Skyfall, and Saturday, November 28th, the Thanksgiving spy spree concludes with Quantum of Solace. Follow the jump for times.
How many times can Fox Home Video and MGM repackage the Bond movies? I mean really, I think I have 4 copies of every bond film. Even saying that, I feel dirty because the new collectible covers the new set arriving this September looks kind of gorgeous. Of course this is the collection that finally includes the Digital copy codes. Grrr…..
On this week’s GeekScholars Movie News podcast, the hosts dive into two big headlines making the rounds, starting with more Guardians of the Galaxy casting. With the news that Benicio Del Toro is joining the film, the question on everyone’s mind is whether or not he’ll be playing the villainous Thanos. Listen in to hear what the GeekScholars think about Del Toro and what traits they feel are necessary to bring Thanos to life.
It’s an especially fun episode of the GeekScholars Movie News podcast this week, as the crew dives into quick discussions about all of the week’s news, with an installment of ‘Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down’.
Specifically, each of the hosts weigh in with their thoughts on:
John C. Reilly and Glenn Close getting cast as Nova Corps members in Guardians of the Galaxy
Tom Hardy being courted to play Elton John in Rocketman
A ‘Grumpy Cat’ movie now in the works
The National Association of Theater Owners requesting changes to movie marketing
Henry Cavill in talks to be The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Where to begin, where to begin? After being in limbo and bankruptcy heck for the last several years there was actually a chance that we would never have another Bond film. Many would say this would have been a tragedy because Daniel Craig was just starting to grow into the role. He had a lauded outing in Casino Royale but a dud in the follow-up Quantum of Solace.
In anticipation of the new Bond thriller SKYFALL and a look back at 50 years of James Bond in the movies, Sean, Leah and David talk about SKYFALL and their favorite Bond Movies and the men who played the secret agent.
