Claim: MGM’s James Bond star Jeffrey Wright has claimed former President Donald Trump started a fight at Arlington National Cemetery this week while the current Republican presidential nominee was attending a memorial service to honor the 13 American service members who were killed during the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Verdict: False. Former President Donald Trump didn’t start a fight at Arlington. Jeffrey Wright’s accusation appears to stem from an incorrect reading of an NPR report alleging Trump campaign staff got into an “altercation” with a cemetery official who prevented them from taking photographs in an off-limits...

Halle Bery said in a video interview with Wired that Pierce Brosnan “restored” her faith in men during the making of their James Bond movie, 2002’s “Die Another Day.” The action film marked Brosnan’s final outing as 007 after a seven-year run that kicked off with 1995’s “GoldenEye.” Berry played Bond girl Jinx in the movie. “He will always be my Bond, always,” Berry said when asked about her experience on the movie. “I’m a Pierce Brosnan fan. He restored my faith in men on that movie. There couldn’t be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce...

For the first time in a long time we are living in a world without James Bond. Despite having been promised that Agent 007 would Live and Let Die and Die Another Day, when the last film in the Bond series was released in 2021 and despite telling us that it was No Time to Die, Daniel Craig's 007 perished in the villain's lair at the end of the film, under a salvo of missiles fired by his own Royal Navy. The only people who seem to have found this satisfying were Daniel Craig and producer Michael G. Wilson, and...

Shame on you. I hope your company collapses”; “Boycott Bond, Free Palestine”; and “I won’t...

Aaron Taylor-Johnson gettin' his license to kill it as James Bond from a former 007 ... who tells us ATJ's got the toughness to handle the secret agent life. George Lazenby -- who played Bond in 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" -- gave Aaron his seal of approval ... saying the 33-year-old can handle the stunts, and all the ladies who love a man in a tux. Worth noting, Aaron's already got a leading lady of his own -- director/producer Sam Taylor-Johnson ... but we get where George is goin'. Lazenby adds he's pretty sure Aaron doesn't have the...

A popular British actor has reportedly already been offered the role of being the next James Bond - taking over from Daniel Craig. None other than Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is said to have been the favourite choice for movie bosses after thousands of avid fans of the 007 franchise had put their money on Idris Elba taking over the iconic role from Craig, who last starred as the iconic spy in 2021's No Time To Die. Elsewhere, Cillian Murphy insisted last week that he's 'too old' to play the role, shooting down feverish excitement surrounding...

There are few roles in Hollywood more coveted than 007. Since the character of James Bond was first adapted to film in the 1960s, it has been taken on by six separate actors, each of them donning suits and a smirk to embody the man Ian Fleming created. Each time an actor announces their departure from the role, audiences speculate and actors hope that it might be their turn, but not Michael Caine. It’s perhaps unsurprising that Caine was once considered for the role. The man is a certified national treasure, the consistency of his Cockney accent and commanding presence...

A counterintelligence directorate created by former Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin and made famous by the James Bond novels of author and former British spy Ian Fleming has reportedly made a return to Russia. SMERSH is a portmanteau of the Russian for "death to spies," or "smert shpionam." It was announced in 1943 as a move to target Nazi spy rings, traitors and foreign agents during the World War II, before it was disbanded in 1946. Fleming portrayed the group as cold-blooded foes of James Bond. One of his characters was Rosa Klebb—an assassin handy with a flick-knife shoe, who...

It was 40 years ago this month when the biggest battle on movie screens took place not between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, but improbably enough, between James Bond and… James Bond. In 1983, audiences got to choose between two films starring Ian Fleming’s famous secret agent: Octopussy, the sixth film to feature the debonair Roger Moore as British spy 007, and Never Say Never Again, the first movie in 12 years to star the original James Bond, Sean Connery. This was following his second departure from the wildly successful film franchise in 1971. How did this come to pass?...

Pierce Brosnan has been in hot water plenty of times as an actor playing the secret agent James BondPierce Brosnan, whose fictitious movie character James Bond has been in hot water plenty of times, is now facing heat in real life, charged with stepping out of bounds in a thermal area during a recent visit to Yellowstone National Park. Brosnan walked in an off-limits area at Mammoth Terraces, in the northern part of Yellowstone near the Wyoming-Montana line, on Nov. 1, according to two federal citations issued Tuesday. Brosnan, 70, is scheduled for a mandatory court appearance on Jan. 23...

This new villain sounds BASED. Birkett was an ex-Tory MP, famous for promoting covid/vaccines/mask-wearing/5G conspiracy theories, which had spilled over into the usual anti-immigrant, anti-EU, anti-BBC, anti-MSM, anti-cultural Marxist, Climate Change Denial pronouncements. It was an anti-trans diatribe that had eventually got him kicked out of the party and he'd soon after set up the 'New Freedom Party'. OH NO! THE BOND SUPERVILLAIN DOESN'T LIKE OPEN BORDERS, THINKS MARXISM IS BAD, DISLIKES GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA, WON'T GET THE JAB, AND HATES GLOBALIST ELITES?? Bond was struck by something. It was a long while since he'd been at any kind of function...

Since opposing power in our modern times is futile, we must adapt to the demands it makes on us. This is especially true of the long running character in the fictional James Bond series.“Oh, the things I do for England,” Sean Connery once said in You Only Live Twice.Long gone are the days of carefree innocence and naiveté when we would watch a movie as a child or a teenager and think it wasn’t propaganda. It just reflected what human beings are. Sadly, or perhaps wonderfully, as we grow up, our experiences change how we see the world. Some of...

Seventy years ago, in 1953, Ian Fleming, a British WWII planner and supervisor for commandos, published a brief espionage novel, Casino Royale, and thus James Bond was born. The book allowed Fleming to reimagine British imperial greatness and continue in fiction his command over manly men willing and able to kill and die for a cause, for the thrill of the fight, and for pride. He could speak for civilized society’s necessary assassins.By the use of his imagination, Fleming became far more successful and important than he had ever been in public service. He ended up orchestrating one of Britain’s...

VIDEOIs it really impossible to find a replacement for Daniel Craig to play James Bond because today's younger actors are too hopelessly juvenile to fulfill that role?

April 13, 1953 was a red letter the day in popular culture. It was when Ian Fleming’s debut novel, Casino Royale, was published, and the world was introduced to James Bond. The success of Casino Royale in the U.K. paved the way for subsequent works by Fleming, featuring Bond. In 1961, President Kennedy named 'From Russia With Love' as one of his top ten favorite books in Life magazine. This endorsement made the book a bestseller in the U.S. Some say it was Kennedy's way of linking himself to Bond and projecting himself as a Bond-like heroic leader taking on...

James Bond novels including Casino Royale and Octopussy have been edited to suit modern sensibilities with a raft of racist and sexist terms removed ahead of the 70th anniversary of 007 this year. The publishers of the books by Bond creator Ian Fleming commissioned a review by ‘sensitivity readers’ to modernise them, according to the Sunday Telegraph... In the new version of Bond novel Live And Let Die, a scene in which Bond visits a New York club is altered to remove reference to a striptease. In the 1954 original it says: ‘Bond could hear the audience panting and grunting...

If Lee Tamahori could change anything about his James Bond film Die Another Day it would be the film’s use of CGI in one infamous scene. “The only thing I’d do differently [with Die Another Day] would be the kitesurfing sequence,” director Tamahori tells Yahoo over the phone from New Zealand, where he's shooting his next film. “I don’t know how you’d do it differently. It was virtually impossible to do it for real as a real stunt: falling off the edge of a glacier, hastily concocting a kite-surfing rig, and kitesurfing your way out of danger. If you tried...

The standard for Hollywood today is to take a previously established franchise that is highly beloved and then proceeds to bastardize it in order to push the left’s narratives and agendas.You’re currently watching it happen with a lot of your favorite brands from Star Wars to Marvel. Of course, the left has made it very clear for years that they’ve had their eye on the Bond franchise.The reason being is pretty obvious. James Bond is everything they hate. He’s a charming, confident, competent, and masculine man who attracts women’s carnal desires despite themselves. For Hollywood, as infected with the social...
