    Some nice tidbits

    Daniel Craig's Indestructable Cufflinks!

    A HARD AND RUTHLESS wrecking machine he may be but Daniel Craig’s 007 sure holds a soft spot for his designer cufflinks.

    After just two James Bond films he’s destroyed...

    ■More than seventy designers suits, each worth £3000.
    ■Seven Aston Martin DBS, worth £165,000 a time
    ■Umpteen high end Alfa Romeo cars.
    ■Ten pairs of John Lobb shoes
    ■Eight Omega Planet Ocean Titanium watches
    ■Fifteen pairs of Persol sunglasses
    ■Seven £4000 leather jackets by Giorgio Armani
    ■Sixty Turnbull and Asser silk shirts
    ■Four £6000 Brioni dinner suits...
    Yet he hasn’t even damaged a single pair of cufflinks.


    Despite countless death defying stunts and a moments of madness in his attempt to drag the Bond franchise into the 21st century, the actor’s cufflinks remained as pristine by both films’ ends as they were when filming commenced.

    “There wasn’t a bookmaker in this land or any other would have given odds on those cufflinks surviving it all intact,” chuckled an insider.

    “Dan really did look after those cufflinks, even when all else was being shredded and exploding to pieces all around him, he looked after them.”

    That the actor loves his ST Dupont cufflinks enough to protect them so well is no surprise to those who understand the joy of owning such perfect jewellery.

    Yet the tremendous boost given to custom cufflinks as high fashion because of the actor’s patronage has surprised many- even in the jewellery world.

    The Daniel Craig effect has seen the sales of cufflinks rise by an estimated 300% worldwide since his suave secret agent first sported them in 2006 film Casino Royale.

    His extremely well put together outfits, courtesy of the good gentlemen at Brioni and the great designer Tom Ford himself, has catapulted Craig to instant icon status in the fashion world.

    Now many millions of switched-on gentlemen across the world have appropriated Craig’s look from sharply tailored suits to French cuffed shirts, all perfectly held together by silver or gold cufflinks.

    Naturally the effect on the jewellery business has been dramatic. Designers and artisans have begun to produce many dozens of new designs to cater for the blossoming new market.

    Aside from the many who have copied Craig’s ultra luxurious taste the market has also been boosted by those who prefer humorous novelty cufflinks bearing everything from cartoon characters to miniature computer keyboards.

    Indeed the utterly versatile nature of cufflinks mean anything from an octopus cufflinks to a tractor to a Walther PPK pistol shape can be moulded to form the basis of designer cufflinks for men.

    Craig himself is unlikely to take his styling down the novelty cufflink route but is surely enjoying the fruits of his labour in protecting his own exquisite versions.

    To decide which customised cufflinks are the perfect for when you decide to crash your Aston Martin, submit your enquiry.

    What a wonderful news story! I love this kind of news, thank you. It's nice that Craig hasn't destroyed something but I would have never guessed the amount of products that are no longer fit for use.

    How can you go through fifteen pairs of sunglasses?...

    Eight Omega Planet Ocean Titanium watches??? They were indeed the Omega Planet Ocean, but they were not titanium. The titanium models weren't even produced yet during Casino Royale and QoS...

    No idea, if that is valid, but Orbis is going to Vietnam in April, so maybe its for both occasions. Plus I can see him having a bit of time between now and the 30th, when he is due in Turkey.

    Really don't care to go look for the proper thread.
    This sounds like a done deal actually to me

    Daniel Craig to make appearance as ‘James Bond’ during coverage of the 2012 London Olympic Games

    A certain famous British spy will be helping to kick off the BBC’s coverage of the 2012 London Olympics.

    Daniel Craig, who played James Bond in the recent films “Casino Royale” and “Quantum of Solace,” will be featured in a skit called “The Arrival.” According to U.K. news organization “The Guardian,” 007 travels to Buckingham Palace, where he’s informed he has been assigned to help launch the 2012 Olympic Games. He will be taken by helicopter to the Olympic stadium, where he will parachute into the arena. The short film will be broadcast during the BBC’s coverage of the opening ceremony.

    “The Guardian” states the Queen personally requested that Craig make an appearance as Bond, and film makers reportedly were given special access to the palace and its private rooms.

    Craig’s appearance likely also coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Bond film franchise (as produced by rights owners Eon).

    The 2012 Olympics opening ceremony will be on July 27 in London. Craig’s third big-screen outing as the famous spy James Bond, called “Skyfall,” is slated for release this fall.

    This is just the Guardian repeating what we already know and copying other sources.

    Yes, but hopefully the Guardian might not just repeats trashy crap, but reports about true stories. But then again, I might overstimate the Guardian.

    I think you overestimate them. They're reported on some non-stories in the past, sadly.

    When you sit down and truly think about it.. it doesn't seem likely.

    Yet, its one of those hundreds of cases where there are so many angles its difficult to determine whether or not its true. If Daniel, the Queen, or the Producers don't reveal anything about it, we won't know until the opening.

    My conclusion: it's not happening, at least the way its been described. I wouldn't be surprised if Daniel Craig, as Bond or not, was involved, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
  • I dont know if this has been posted before, but The Moving Picture Company, a london based film visual effects provider, will be providing VFX for Skyfall. Previously they worked on Quantum of Solace.
