No More James Bond For Another Three YearsDon’t they realize three years from now, Adele will probably be a home-bodied shut-in unable to get past all the Grammy awards to exit her house, much less make it to the studio to record a theme song? Keep your eyes peeled for more news on directors and casting, which isn’t necessarily for your eyes only, but it can be shared. ...by Nick Venable | published: 2013-03-20 04:51:35comments
Sam Mendes Won't Direct Bond 24Daniel Craig’s James Bond needs continuity. The character – nay, the entire franchise – was redeemed when Sam Mendes took over for Skyfall, prompting most Bond fans to lobby for the American Beauty director to return for the next film, at least. Sadly, it isn’t happening....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-03-06 05:15:09comments
Is Adele Already Signed On For Bond's Next Theme?It’s been just over a week since this year’s Academy Awards, and English singer-songwriter Adele’s cementing her place as the most successful Bond girl ever. Not the veritable koi pond of women that Agent 007 sexes up, but the woman behind the theme song. Winning the Oscar for Best Original Song for the boozy Skyfall theme was a first for Adele, as well as Bond songs. That kind of achievement isn’t taken for granted very often, and don’t expect this to be the exception...by NIck Venable | published: 2013-03-05 07:52:05comments
Watch The James Bond Tribute The Oscars Should Have DoneIn the chaos of attempting to liveblog the Oscars and keep the list of winners updated and everything else, I completely forgot about the brief tribute to James Bond, which was not the much-hoped-for reunion of all six men to play the super spy, but a fairly forgettable montage (followed, at least, by an awesome Shirley Bassey performance)...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-02-26 09:58:25comments
2013 Oscars: The Six Winners We Most Want To SeeWe've all followed the Oscars long enough to be realistic about what can and cannot happen.

Skyfall Wins Roger Deakins Major Cinematographer's AwardFew are going to complain about Deakins winning a cinematography award. In all honesty, Deakins could be honored for his achievement in this field every time he puts a film out. He has been nominated a staggering 10 times in the category by the Academy, but he has yet to take home an Oscar. This year his work on Skyfall is up for the award, and the ASC Award victory gets should get fans excited that he could break his multi-picture streak of walking home empty handed....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-02-11 13:29:34comments
Skyfall Gets Picked Apart In Latest Honest TrailerSam Mendes’ installment in the long-running James Bond franchise did get 007 back on his feet after the dismal Quantum of Solace.

Adele To Perform Skyfall At This Year's Academy AwardsLast year's Oscars ceremony was terribly dull. Not only was Billy Crystal a less-than-thrilling choice to host the event, the Academy failed to capitalize on the opportunity given to them by the fact that a song sung by Muppets was nominated for (and ended up winning) Best Original Song. Instead the only on-stage number was a completely forgettable performance by Cirque du Soleil celebrating the year in movies. Luckily, the ceremony won't be dropping the ball again this year....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-01-23 11:39:46comments

Skyfall Gets Some Award Season Recognition As Producers Guild Awards Announces NomineesFor the most part this year’s award season race is a total toss-up – there were simply so many great movies released last year that it’s nearly impossible to determine the frontrunner for Hollywood’s top prizes.

You Only Live Twice Fan Trailer Blends Sean Connery Bond With SkyfallThe reason I loved Skyfall so much was because of the way that it perfectly blended classic James Bond elements into the modern world.

Sam Mendes Has Come Up With The Next James Bond StoryWhat’s interesting, however, is the news that Mendes and Logan have the idea for the next Bond movie. It lends credence to the rumor floating around that the next two Bond movies were going to be penned as back-to-back chapters of a longer story (though Craig shot that theory down). Even more enticing is the notion that Mendes might return to the director’s chair for a follow-up Bond thriller. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-11-20 08:46:26comments
