UPDATE: Bond 24 and 25 to be two-movie arc! Bond 24 with Daniel Craig and screenwriter John Logan is on course for a 2014 release

UPDATE:   Well, not only is screenwriter John Logan writing Bond 24, but apparently he's writing 25 as well, which he pitched to the producers while working on SKYFALL to be a two-movie arc for the series.  You could argue that CASINO ROYALE and QUANTUM OF SOLACE were a part of a two-movie arc, but it wasn't set up that way from the start.  This, however, is. ...

Should you see Skyfall in IMAX? Only if you want 26% more footage

I'm sure you've seen comparisons between full screen and widescreen presentations of your favorite movies on DVD - this is something kind of like that, but for the cinematic presentation of SKYFALL.  See, in the same way that the widescreen format allows for you to see more footage as part of your viewing experience than the full screen format (which cuts off bits on either side of...

James Bond meets the new Q in this clip from Skyfall with Daniel Craig and Ben Whishaw

We've seen a bevy of action sequences and ass-kickery clips from the new Bond film, SKYFALL, but very few where things are settled and calm.  This clip, where Daniel Craig's 007 meets the new Quartermaster, or "Q", played by Ben Whishaw, is a nice little exchange, as both characters go tit-for-tat in a museum.  I love the more subtle Bond moments, especially the fun, quirky ones with Bond...

In what way was The Dark Knight a direct inspiration for Skyfall? Sam Mendes tells all

I know, I know, you're probably tired of hearing how THE DARK KNIGHT influenced this or influences that and inspired some property that didn't need it to be more gritty and dark and disturbing or realistic or what have you.  But don't worry - this isn't in quite the same vein. More or less. Batman is Bond's secret ally in SKYFALL.  Spoilers.  Sorry. No, but...

Cool Videos: 70 seconds to unlock 007. Do you think you could do it?

We all want to be our movie heroes: Superman, Batman, Indiana Jones, James Bond, you name it. My personal hero was always James Bond. The guy was smooth, suave, smart, and always got the hottest chicks. But, even if I somehow had the chance to become an MI-6 agent, I doubt it would have been anywhere near the glamour of being 007. In a brilliant marketing video, Coke Zero gave some...

New trailer and IMAX poster for Skyfall hit the net!

Today, we have yet another trailer for James Bond's 23rd outing, SKYFALL, as well as a reveal of the exclusive IMAX poster, which will be available for free to those who attend the midnight IMAX screening on November 8th.  The trailer doesn't offer much in the way of new footage, short of the Bond intro, but really, do you need to see anything more to get your ass into a theater for...

New Skyfall videoblog highlights the score by Thomas Newman

I must confess that I am a huge fan of composer Thomas Newman's work.  From AMERICAN BEAUTY to ROAD TO PERDITION to THE GREEN MILE and beyond, the man is a lyrical genius.  He's never been much of an action movie composer, but that didn't stop me from getting jazzed to find out he was composing the score to James Bond's latest adventure, SKYFALL.  Being a Sam Mendes...

Javier Bardem is awesomely evil in this new clip from Skyfall

At this point, it looks like a foregone conclusion that SKYFALL is going to rock. The critics are saying it pretty much unanimously, the score and theme song rock, the trailers are spectacular, the casting impeccable, and the direction looks solid. The only thing left is to actually see the movie. Clips have begun to make their way out as the film gets closer to opening day. Each...

Take the shot! New clip from Skyfall featuring Daniel Craig, Naomie Harris, Judi Dench, a gun, and a train

It's not like you really need any more convincing to go see SKYFALL, but what's that to stop the marketing machine from enticing you with their 007 charms?  Here we have a little gem to dangle in front of you, which is a one-minute clip from Bond's 23rd adventure, showing our favorite spy tangling with a bad guy on top of a train with a conundrum of a decision left to Judi Dench's...

Listen to 007 minutes of Thomas Newman's Skyfall score

After hearing Adele's stunning theme song for SKYFALL, I was worried that the score would not live up to such a high standard. But, upon hearing this seven minute excerpt from Thomas Newman's score, I cannot be happier to say there is nothing to worry about. Newman's score is tense and epic while still maintaining the classic cool that every Bond movie needs. David Arnold composed...

Cool Videos: SNL skit with Daniel Craig featuring the "other" Bond girls

Daniel Craig lent his talents to Saturday Night Live this past weekend and although I didn't catch it all, this skit is definitely one of the highlights.  Tagging on to the blu-ray release of the 50 Years of Bond set, the SNL team, along with Craig, showcased a series of lesser known Bond girls from all the different era's and with some seriously funny bits by the female cast of the show. ...

See Bond rip the back of a train right off in this first clip from Skyfall, plus some new stills from the film!

One of the many fascinating facets about Bond, and the Daniel Craig rendition in particular, is how (within a certain basic code of morality) he'll do whatever it takes to accomplish his mission. Be it from loyalty to MI6 or the desire to safeguard others or simply the weight of his own ego, Bond won't let go and he won't back down.  He improvises, he free-falls, he takes terrible...
