Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, producers of the 23rd James Bond adventure, SKYFALL, announced today that the character of Q will be making a welcome return to the Bond franchise and confirmed that the role will be played by British actor Ben Whishaw. Whishaw becomes the fourth actor to play Bond’s quartermaster, affectionately known as Q. The role began with Peter Burton as Major Boothroyd in DR. NO followed by Desmond Llewelyn (in 17 Bond films between 1963-1999), and John Cleese (who appeared as Q’s assistant, R, in THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH and was later promoted to Q in DIE ANOTHER DAY). Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli commented, “It’s a real thrill to confirm the return of Q in SKYFALL played by the enormously talented, Ben Whishaw. We are delighted to have this beloved character back in the series.” Ben
Whishaw will be seen later this year in the film adaptation of David
Mitchell’s best selling novel, Cloud Atlas, alongside an all-star cast
including Tom Hanks, Jim Sturgess and Halle Berry, and in the BBC’s
Richard II. He will also be seen in the second series of The Hour for the
BBC, in which he stars opposite Dominic West. His films include roles in
Bright Star, The Tempest, Brideshead Revisited, I’m Not There, Stoned,
Layer Cake, Enduring Love, The Trench, Mauvaise Passé, and the lead roles
in My Brother Tom and Perfume opposite Alan Rickman and Dustin Hoffman. He
has also starred in the hugely popular BBC TV drama Criminal Justice which
saw him pick up the award for best actor at the 2009 Royal Television
Society Awards, Best Actor at the International Emmy Awards 2009 and was
nominated for Best Actor at the 2009 BAFTA Television Awards. He will
appear in Michael Grandage’s production of Peter and Alice in the title
role opposite Judi Dench in 2013. |

As the likes of Daniel Craig,

NEW
JAMES BOND ACTOR SAM WORTINGTON
FRESH from his success as an intergalactic Avatar, betting agencies are tipping Sam Worthington to slide into James Bond's Aston Martin as the next 007.
The Australian hunk has become favourite, ahead of Will
Smith to replace Daniel Craig as the famed British spy on the big screen.
His interpretation of Corporal Jake Sully, a disabled soldier who falls in
love with an alien from Pandora in Avatar helped the James
Cameron film to overtake Titanic as the highest grossing film
ever.
Names being touted as his potential love interest as new Bond girls
include Britain's Cheryl Cole and Freida Pinto, who starred in Slumdog
Millionaire.
Worthington has also been mentioned as the man most likely to reprise the role of Dracula in the next Hollywood incarnation of the villain from Transylvania.
The only other Australian to play the hero, most famously brought to life by Roger Moore and Sean Connery, was George Lazenby. HERALDSSUN

James
Bond fans to name new 007 blockbuster.
London: James Bond
fans are being urged to suggest the title of the 23rd blockbuster 007
film, scheduled to hit cinemas next year. Bosses at MGM have admitted that
they are running out of names based on the best-selling novels of Ian
Fleming.
dnaindia
However, fans are lobbying studio executives to choose
between the names of two Fleming short stories with box office appeal.
And they've also come up with their own promo posters to show how good
they'd look.
One army of 007 fanatics is promoting Risico, originally written as part
of the For Your Eyes Only novelettes. It sees Bond being sent by M to
investigate a drug-smuggling operation based in Italy that is flooding
Britain with narcotics.
A rival group wants the next film to be called The Property Of A Lady,
another Fleming short story that sees Bond on the trail of a gorgeous
Russian double agent who has infiltrated our Secret Service.
A senior MGM executive said that director Sam Mendes has been 'blown away' by creativity of the fans.

James Bond offered starring role in Versailles.
Parisian civil servants have tried to persuade 007's producers to set the 23rd
Bond adventure in the 17th-century château
Its overblown grandeur has been the setting
for many a period tale, from Stephen Frears's Dangerous Liaisons to
to Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Now the guardians of the nation's most
famous château want the Palace of Versailles to make its mark on a much wider
audience - by virtue of a starring role in a future James
Bond movie.
Parisian civil servants have gone so far as to write a storyline for 007, aimed at luring series producers Eon to the 17th-century palace. Scenarios might include Bond chasing through the palace after environmental terrorists, or perhaps making his escape through gardens designed according to the exacting tastes of Louis XIV.
"We want to give the producers some ideas, because it would be great to have James in the magnificent decor of the château," Stéphane Martinet, the deputy director of the Paris region film commission, told the Times. "Producers tend to think of it as a setting for period movies, but these are not the most profitable films these days. We would like to get across the message that Versailles could be a location for all sorts of different movies."
A total of 165 movies have been filmed at Versailles, the home of French royalty from 1682 until the revolution of 1789. The palace has been increasingly opened up to film-makers since the French government asked it to manage its own budget a decade ago.
These recent changes have sparked anger among some traditionalists, with opponents claiming that the château is being turned into a theme park. But Mr Martinet said the initiative, which is part of a concerted attempt by French authorities to lure movie-makers from Hollywood, could only help boost tourism and create employment.
Crews who cannot afford Versailles's €16,000-a-day (£14,000) rate can choose to shoot at an ordinary château for as little as €4,500. Last year the government also introduced a 20% tax break for film-makers shooting in France's stately homes.
Bond's 23rd adventure is set for release next year, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as the secret agent; the Oscar-winning British film-maker Sam Mendes is to direct.

Namnet är Boyle, Susan Boyle.
Den skotska stjärnan sjunger i nästa James Bond
film, som förbinder Sean Connery annan berömd
skotsk stjärna, att lämna sin prägel på James Bond franchise.
Producenterna av de nya, ännu namnlösa-Bond-filmen, har vänt sig till Boyle för
att sjunga titeln melodi av den nya filmen, den 23: e Bond produktionen, som väntas
släppas under 2011.
Susan's fans har redan gått med i satsningen. En fullfjädrad Internet kampanj pågår för att få den skotska songstress vråla ut öppningen tune, liksom Shirley Bassey och andra ledande stjärnor har gjort tidigare. Det kan även vara lite egenskap del, enligt rapporter.
Bond-tema kompositör Monty Norman sade till Sunday Express: "Hon har rätt sorts svepande röst."
Susan skulle bli den andra stora skotska stjärna från Glasgow att göra sin debut i Bond-filmer. Sean Connery var ansiktet och persona av James Bond under många år och gjort rollen berömda.
The Scottish star seems set to sing in the next James Bond movie, joining Sean Connery another famous Scottish star, to leave their mark on the James Bond franchise.
The producers of the new, as yet-unnamed Bond film, have approached Boyle
to sing the title tune of the new movie, the 23rd Bond production, which is
expected to be released in 2011.
Susan's fans have already joined in the effort. A full-fledged internet
campaign is under way to have the Scottish songstress belt out the opening
tune, like Shirley Bassey and other
leading stars have done in the past. There may even be a bit acting part,
according to reports.
Bond theme composer Monty Norman
told the Sunday Express: "She has the right kind of sweeping voice."
Susan would be the second great Scottish star from the Glasgow
to make her debut in Bond films. Sean Connery was the face and persona of
James Bond for many years and made the role famous. irishcentral.com

:When the MI6 building is
blown up, we hear the explosion as it happens. In reality, because of
the distance they are away from it, the sound should be about a second
later.
: When Bond has begun searching the train for the villain, a blonde passenger's face is clearly shown on the right hand side of the screen. About a minute later, the same extra is waiting to board the same train at the next station. : In the Istanbul chase scene, when Bond reaches the the motorcycle the owner is still standing next to it. Yet in the next cut when Bond gets on the bike, the owner is no longer seen. : In the opening scene where Moneypenny is holding the rifle, you can see the flash suppressor was installed upside down. The 'slots' are on the bottom. : Just after Bond has lost track of Silva in the London Underground station, the scene cuts to M's parliament meeting. At this time, the time on M's watch reads 3:00. Yet when Bond catches up with Silva in the basement of the London Underground station, the time on Bond's watch reads 4:55. Far too long to have passed given the events seen and distances travelled. : The excavator Bond uses on the train has walking platforms welded to the top of the digging arm, they are not a feature of the machine but necessary if you are going to have your actor run up the arm. : During the chase through the London Underground station, in the shot before Silva jumps onto the escalator, a female extra can be seen looking directly into the camera. : When Bond climbs up from under lift/elevator after hanging under assassins lift car he opens adjacent lift/elevator landing doors just by pulling them apart,this is not possible without first disengaging the landing door lock mechanism which is operated when car is at that landing,if this where possible anyone could push lift/elevator doors open from landing and fall down shaft. : In Turkey the first two numbers of a vehicle licence plate belongs to a city. 34 for Istanbul for example. The motorcycle chase in the beginning of the movie takes part in Istanbul, (The Land Rover and the Audi has 34 plates) however once they come to the bridge where Bond jumps to the train, all the vehicles on the bridge(except the Land Rover) has plates that start with 01, which is the licence plate number for the city Adana, where those scenes were shot. : During Bond's fight with Patrice in the Shanghai high-rise, Patrice's sniper rifle fires several times, presumably by accident. However, moments earlier, when Patrice assassinates his target in the neighboring building, the rifle is shown to be bolt-action. A bolt-action rifle can't be fired more than once without manually loading the next round. : When Silva is about to slide down the escalator, Bond runs past the same blonde woman twice between shots. : The Ambulances used in the film in the "M" attack in London are incorrect, as they are not the current vehicles used by London ambulance service. They all now have the patient lifts on the rear. Various vehicle tax discs were out of date too. : The scene where M walks to see Mr Silver, after his capture. She walks through an open armor door that is about 65 degrees open but when she walks through the door is open 90 degrees and the door was never touched. : On the District line, Temple and Embankment stations do not have two platforms between each train. They actually run side by side, and not with the platforms in between the two trains. : Early in the film after Bond is shot off the top of the train and floats down river he ends up in some run down hotel. He goes drinking at some local bar trying to drink some whisky with a scorpion on his wrist/arm. The scorpion's stinger has been removed. : While talking with Severine in the casino bar, Bond gets his martini in a frozen glass. He picks it up, the camera's point of view changes, and the glass is instantly completely unfrozen. : When Bond is chasing Silva through the London Underground system they both supposedly get on a train at Temple Station on the District Line. The train is in fact a Jubilee Line train, but with District Line route maps on the inside. The back said Elephant & Castle and the front said Wimbledon. : In the car scene just before the MI6 explosion, invalid IPv4 addresses (with digits larger than 255) are displayed on the laptop screen. [This gets debated, with comparisons made to 555 phone numbers. 555 may not be a real area code, but there's nothing technically preventing it being one. IP addresses, however, just can't have numbers larger than 255 - it's like a phone number having a % symbol in it.] : In the Commons Committee scene, when the CO2 extinguishers are shot, they slowly release their contents over a long period of time, giving a significant 'smokescreen'. In fact, a shot which was able to penetrate the cylinder would cause a very quick release of gas, and the 'smokescreen' effect would be fairly limited. ": In the chase through the tube station, Bond and Silva both slide down between the escalators. On the London Underground this area has hard vertical signs at regular intervals, precisely to prevent people sliding down. : When Bond drives his motorbike into the bridge, the scene changes to Bond landing on the train, the bike magically landing on its wheels upright, then when the scene changes again, the bike has disappeared, yet the bike should be seen rolling out of control. : In the opening car-driving scenes, Moneypenny is wearing her seatbelt, then she isn't, then she is. The same is true of Bond. : In Istanbul, Bond goes to the mosque. When he approaches the mosque, the exterior shot is of the Sultan Ahmed mosque or "Blue Mosque" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan_Ahmed_Mosque). When Bond is inside, the interior is actually of the much older, nearby "Hagia Sophia" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagia_Sophia). : At the end of the film, Bond is standing on the roof. The time seen on Big Ben is 5.55, and there's loads of traffic in the background as well. He returns downstairs with Moneypenny and Tanner appears from M's office saying "morning 007". If it was morning in the winter months (Scotland having frozen lakes) it would be dark and not daylight that early. : In the scene where Bond is chasing Silva in the Underground, he leaps over the emergency buttons and slides down the escalator panel. Initially you can see the emergency buttons at the bottom of the escalator, which would have broken his slide, however, these "disappear" as Bond slides smoothly off the panel at the bottom. : When Bond is fighting on top of the train at the beginning of the film, his footwear changes from black lace up shoes to black slip-on ankle boots. : In the opening scene on the train the coupling is shot away and the rear wagon separates, this ruptures the continuous brake pipe, which would cause both halves of the train to stop immediately. : When Bond is drinking Macallan in M's apartment he set the bottle down with the label facing away from us. Next shot has the bottle facing towards us. Final shot and the bottle is back in its original position, with the label away from us again. : James Bond is seen running down Whitehall in London. Behind him a number 38 bus is seen. However the 38 does not travel down or indeed particularly near Whitehall. This was probably done to show off the new Routemaster bus, which is currently only used on the 38 route. : When M goes to see Mallory at the start of the film, he pours her a drink and places the bottle on the table with the label facing the camera. The label is off centre and more to the left - when M leaves the bottle has not been moved and the label is still facing the camera, but the label is now more to the right. : As Bond chases Patrice over the rooftops of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul at the start of the film, in the close ups of Daniel Craig his tie can be seen noticeably flapping over his shoulder (as you would expect). But in the long shots with the stuntman it doesn't move about at all, presumably having been fixed in place for safety. : When Silva places the glass of whiskey on the girl's head, the liquid is full to the brim in some shots, or a finger below in others. : When Bond confronts the assassin and lets him fall to his death from the building in Shanghai, he then looks over to the opposite window where Severine is standing in the smashed window hole, her hair blowing in the breeze. When it cuts to the closeup of her leaving you can see the light reflected in the window glass that has magically reappeared. : When Bond drives M away in the Jaguar XJ, police cars can be seen driving towards them when he speeds around the corner. The Volvo police car in front has two yellow dots on the top of the windscreen which mean armed response, but on the roof there is a circle, which means traffic/incident response. The aerial roof marking symbol should have been a five-edged star for armed response. Metropolitan police don't even use Volvos for armed response. They use BMW 5 series and X5s. : The DB 5 drives from wet London to a wintery remote part of Scotland, and it's totally clean. The wheels and the bodywork are spotless when they drive into the grounds of the house. : Bond and Silva travel from Temple station on the District/Circle line, which is a sub-surface line that has square tunnels (dug out from above and then covered over) and uses large trains with an almost square cross-section. However, the train they board is of the type used on the deep-level lines (eg. Northern and Jubilee lines), smaller and almost cylindrical in shape, and is seen to fit snugly into the cylindrical tube tunnel as the train leaves the station. They therefore can't be travelling on the District/Circle line, and must be on a deep-level line instead. The disused Jubilee line platforms at Charing Cross are often used for filming, and photographs available online show one such platform recently dressed as Temple station. : In the opening chase scene 007 rides his bike against the wall of the bridge. The bike bounces back, but in the next shot it is catapulting over the wall, tumbling over and over. : In the scene where the assassin is about to go up in the elevator the 3rd button down on the right has been pressed and is lit. As the elevator closes the button is no longer lit. : In the scene where M (Judi Dench) is been driven back to the MI6 building, her car is stopped on a bridge and you see two cars stopping behind M's vehicle while she is still inside. She then gets out of the vehicle to speak to a police officer who requested that the car stop, and now two different vehicles are behind. |
