I think the last filing from Metro-Godwyn-Mayer was in 2005, @Suivez, as that's when the company was dissolved as your link shows. For more recent ones look for "MGM Holdings II" - the company that now owns the studio - again, it's tough going as th…

All very interesting @Perdogg. I've been rereading the Fleming's recently so they're quite fresh in my mind. I'll add a few thoughts: Perdogg wrote: Bond – James Bond People tend to have different interpretations of the original James Bond. …

Thought @Suivez and some others might be interested to see this. The Q1 filing - it seems that they did have to put up some money into the Skyfall marketing campaign (particularly in home entertainment) and also goes into a little detail about their…

A great find from @Suivez_ce_parachute in the Bond 24 Timeline thread: http://www.getfilings.com/o0001193125-04-027353.html This report from 2003 specifically mentions MGM's rights in the James Bond films.

@Suivez, thank you for finding this and sharing this! Very interesting (especially their approval rights as you've highlighted) - good work, sir!
-
Eon (or, technically, Danjaq) owns 100% of the rights to James Bond as a film character but that they signed an exclusive distribution deal with MGM in 1986 - it was originally a 20-year deal but I understand that they extended it some time in the l…

They're first mentioned in MR when it's revealed that 007 is the senior officer in the OO Section. In MR, Loelia Ponsonby tells Bond that 008's been moved to a military hospital in Berlin after his last mission and is about to fly back to the UK.…

It's been a long time since I've read it @007InVT and it's the only Fleming novel I've only read once. I remember thinking at the time that it was very disappointing. I enjoyed the opening chapters (with the Hard Man and the Soft Man) but as soon as…

I've posted my review of TSWLM in the "what Bond novel are you currently reading" thread but thought I would address the question of how it's dated here. It's dated quite well - the London portion of the story is clearly of its time... particularly …

Finished TSWLM today and I enjoyed it. It's certainly Fleming's most experimental novel - a first person narrative told from the perspective of Vivienne Michel in which James Bond is a supporting character, "the spy who loved me", who comes to her r…

Just re-read TB and Felix's leg has miraculously grown back!

Finished For Your Eyes Only and Thunderball this week. Every one of the short stories is enjoyable in some way. FAVTAK has an interesting, low-key plot, a good (and believable) relationship between Bond and Mary Ann Russell, and a nice angle on …

I'm going to guess 002 (as in O2)

Interesting to note that Showbizz 411 reports it as a rumour, "today, we turn out attention to a NEW rumor..." and don't claim any sources. I say just pure speculation (but hope it's true)

Tough one because there were so many Bond actors in the Persuaders. Are you including the compilation movies?

Amazing find @fanbond123. That certainly seems to be him. Agreed that he's too old to take over after Craig - they're almost the same age. He'd make a great villain though.
