Joseph Harrell, 17, was ordered held last week on $200,000 bond following the harrowing, caught-on-camera Feb. 13 attack that left Nhung Truong unable to walk, Fox News reported.

The 26th official James Bond film is unlikely to be in cinemas before 2025, according to the series’ producer, Barbara Broccoli. Speaking at a dinner to honor Broccoli and her half-brother Michael G Wilson after the presentation of their BFI Fellowships, the gatekeeper of all things 007 (and daughter of Cubby Broccoli) said they had not yet cast the actor who will replace Daniel Craig in the tux. “Nobody’s in the running,” she said in a speech first reported by Deadline. “We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. There isn’t a script and we can’t...

Speculation about who is going to be the next James Bond reemerges every time any young, tallish actor makes an impression in a role that requires wearing a suit. When Daniel Craig’s long-awaited Bond swansong landed, one of the first things we thought about was who will eventually succeed poor old Craig, who was beginning to look a bit weary by the end. Now, the great rumour mill has begun to turn again, as producer Michael G Wilson has said that the next actor will be “a thirty-something”. Speaking at an In Conversation event at London’s British Film Institute, Wilson...

ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl said, “This wasn’t just losing a House seat. You were in leadership, considered a future speaker of the House, maybe even the next speaker of the House. It’s a lot to give up. Any regrets?”

'The name's Bond. James Bond. Pronouns: Them/they.' He may be an enduring symbol of masculinity, but Britain's most famous spy could identify as 'non-binary' in future, 007's producer has revealed. Barbara Broccoli has poured cold water on suggestions the role could go to a woman… but in a new interview, she conceded a future Bond could be 'non-binary' – someone who considers themselves neither male or female, and usually prefers to be referred to as 'they' rather than 'he' or 'she'. Speaking to the Girls On Film podcast, Ms Broccoli talked about the hunt to replace Daniel Craig who is...

Over the past six decades, the 007 franchise has put its stamp on cinema like no other movie run of films. Arriving in the midst of the Cold War, it invented and continued to define the Hollywood action movie. There were groovy gadgets, sensational set pieces, luscious locales, sinister seductresses, venomous villains, and, of course, Bond…James Bond as the straw that stirs the drink (a vodka martini shaken not stirred, naturally). During that time, only six men have played the British superspy, and each brought their own unique interpretation to the role—often for good, occasionally for ill. Now on the...

Back in 2002, Die Another Day was the highest-grossing film in the James Bond series. However, despite its box-office success, it was poorly received by Bond enthusiasts and critics who felt the series had devolved into pastiche with outlandish elements such as an invisible car and kite surfing over a tsunami. The gravitas and subtext that Ian Fleming had conceived had long been absent in the series but it became most apparent in the indifferently made Die Another Day. It also seemed anachronistic for the post 9/11 era to have a comedic spy thriller. Thus, the forty-year-old series returned to...

For Daniel Craig, 2015's "Spectre" was the last time he thought he'd be playing the iconic James Bond."I thought I probably was physically not capable of doing another," Craig, who suffered a torn meniscus during filming, told Total Film. "For me, it was very cut and dried that I wasn't coming back."However, the opportunity to explore a different side of Bond drew the English actor back in for one last hoorah."It's interesting to explore his emotions, because he's a cut-off character. He doesn't feel like other people, because he's a killer," he explained. "On 'Casino' he loses the love of...

The multidecade-long bull market in Treasurys has delivered rich gains to patient investors, but a 2021 bond-market selloff is likely inflicting significant pain on some market participants. Though many were expecting yields to rise this year as the reflation narrative gained ground, few were prepared for the rapid rise in long-term bond yields since the start of this year. Yields move in the opposite direction of bond prices.
