  • Ellie Goulding has a song registered with BMI Music called “Spy.” - Could it be the new Bond song? http://www.showbiz411.com/2015/07/28/exclusive-ellie-goulding-has-an-unreleased-song-called-spy-new-james-bond-theme This comes from Roger Friedma…
  • I was going through the Sony information on Wikileaks and there are some very interesting little morsels on there. It's very interesting if you're a film fan and want to know what kind of stuff goes on behind the scenes. Anyway, I ran into an ema…

  • This is a really fascinating article from 007 Magazine: http://www.007magazine.co.uk/bond24/secrets_of_spectre.htm However, do be warned there are SPOILERS, it goes through the content of the Sony email leak, but in a systematic and journalistic…
  • Thanks for all the comments. I can't understand the disdain for Roger's performance in the film. Yes, it is slightly incongruous to how he developed the character in his other films, but within its own right the performance really stands out. I f…
  • The character I'm finding most interesting in 'Spectre' at the moment is Madeline Swann. I think Seydoux is a great actress and something of a throwback to the French New Wave cinema of the 60s. She looks like the sort of actress Godard would hav…
  • What do we make of Hoyte's work in the recent trailer? Here are some of my thoughts on my of the shots: This shot is beautifully composed. The festival looks vibrant and it seems Mendes wants to give the Mexico City scenes a warm golden gl…
  • I have to admit that on initial blush I'm not overtly enthused. It definitely looks like Mendes et al have very consciously decided to make a 'classic' Bond film, which is fine. However, there are some things I'm not overly keen about. Firstly, H…
  • I think considering the rumours surrounding SP's storyline, there is a possibility that Craig and Mendes intend this to be there last Bond film together. However, I think it's fairly certain that Daniel will be back for Bond 25 and if the story does…
  • I actually know who should be the next Bond: Joe Cole. Not the footballer, but the actor. If anyone has seen Peaky Blinders, you'll know he plays a smaller role in the series but he's magnificent in it. He has a certain swagger in his walk and he lo…
  • What do we think of Jack Huston? He's a real rising star and he comes from a long dynasty of actors and filmmakers. Not to mention he has a connection to Barbara Broccoli after his time working on her stage production of 'Strangers On A Train'. H…

  • It's 100% Sam Smith, I have some friends who are high up in the music business and have links to Smith. He is doing the theme for Spectre. I guess his comments are just misdirection.
  • Smith is very talented, he's effectively not very dissimilar to Adele in terms of style. However, I feel he's a slightly obvious and bland choice and I was hoping for a more riskier and interesting artist to be appointed. However, if SP smacks of an…
  • Also it looks like we can put those Arctic Monkey rumours to bed: http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/Arts/article1574542.ece?CMP=OTH-gnws-standard-2015_06_28 Mendes has commissioned Sam Smith to write the new title song according t…
  • I can't get my head around how people have an issue with race. James Bond is not a real person. He's a fictional character who has been played by a diverse range of actors who really have very little in common. It all comes down to the actor's in…
  • That was a surprisingly boring videoblog....I get it, it takes a large team to prepare such a huge amount of extras. Tell me some story details and where's Daniel Craig and Stephanie Sigman? Having said that, the idea of incorporating the Day of …
  • Grimmy from R1 Breakfast was on the set. He seems to be referring that he was on set built to resemble Westminster Bridge https://twitter.com/r1breakfast
  • As much as I like Sam Smith, he’s a painfully obvious choice. Essentially, this last year he has been covering Adele since she has been on maternity leave. If the producers wanted to hire someone with international clout and a huge following in Amer…
  • What a surprise! I wasn’t expecting this when I woke up this morning. I’m very impressed all in all. Firstly: I love the final shot with Craig and Bellucci and his prolonged “Bond..James…Bond”; it’s a very sexy and cool moment. There is a confide…
  • Considering all the facts we have and Mendes’s track record on ‘reinterpreting’ classic characters, I have little to no doubt that Oberhauser will “become” Blofeld by the end of the picture. It is likely that Oberhauser’s face is obscured during the…
  • Ok, so here's my report. I had earlier in the day gone to see the filming at Freemason's Hall and, to be honest, it was a tad underwhelming. All the filming was taking place indoors and for the loiters outside there was little to look at. I wa…
  • That last one of Mendes is from my Instagram. I'm amanofsteel62 https://instagram.com/amanofsteel62 (go like my picture, I'm desperately insecure) I'll come back with a full report tomorrow of everything I saw.
  • I went down to Freemason House on my Lunch-break and can confirm that Spectre was indeed being filmed. Which is very cool. I didn’t see anything except some lighting rigging outside and loads of vans filled with equipment and crew. It’s curious t…
  • I'm planning on going to London tonight. Can anyone tell me the best tube station to go to get to where filming will be?
  • Great shots. It annoys me that I’m in London all week and the only day when it would be difficult for me to get down would be a Sunday night. Craig looks very cool and Lea’s look is very reminiscent of a 1960’s Bond girl. One large observation…

  • PLEASE! I have been trawling the net for weeks trying to find high-def 1080p screencaps from the trailer with no luck. Does anyone know where I can get some of the entire trailer and not just the odd image?
  • This is hardly surprising of Mendes as he often makes a habit of reshooting and correcting his work. Apparently on American Beauty he requested to reshoot the entire first day of footage he got of Kevin Spacey and Annette Benning in the burger drive…
