  While Daniel Craig is promoting The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo across Europe his James Bond co-stars and crew are busy working on Skyfall.

  The team filmed in London’s Trinity Square and Whitehall. MI6 captured Dame Judi Dench, Rory Kinnear, and Director Sam Mendes on set.  

  This may be Dench’s final appearance as M. The plot description is that “a secret from M’s past comes back to haunt her” and there are rumors that Ralph Fiennes is playing an MI6 agent that will become the Bond’s new boss. Kinnear plays M’s support staff member Bill Tanner.

  Bond Versus Bardem!

  I’m thrilled for any new Bond film but the fact that Javier Bardem is playing the villain in Skyfall just skyrockets the cool factor and excitement level.

  I wanted to share what came up on StumbleUpon via Cracked! A hilarious look what makes a Hollywood good guy or bad guy with Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem at the top of the hair color chain.

New James Bond Film Like Goldfinger

  Goldfinger is the gold standard for many James Bond fans. The third movie has the most iconic villain, henchman and Bond girl – Auric Goldfinger, Oddjob and Pussy Galore. Those three roles along with the thrilling pre-credit sequence, Shirley Bassey theme song and Q’s car – in a way set the blueprint for future Bond movies.   

  Producer Michael G. Wilson teases that 007’s next adventure Skyfall will have  “magical 1960’s feel.”

 “Sam Mendes and Daniel Craig are taking it back to a 60’s feel – more Sean Connery. I think that’s what the fans wanted,” Wilson tells The People.

  “There’s a magical Goldfinger feel surrounding it all,” Wilson added and also teased that he’s trying to get all six Bond actors together to mark the film’s release and the franchise’s 50th Anniversary in 2012.

  Thanks to NME for the Wilson interview. In an earlier post – Craig discussed why he wanted Sam Mendes as the director for Skyfall and the Bond films they both enjoyed.

  Craig says working with Director Sam Mendes “a dream situation” and “…the cast is stunning. I’m on the set, you know, with Ralph Fiennes, Judi Dench…Javier Bardem turned up the other day. I couldn’t be in a better place, we couldn’t be in a better place. Sam is doing an amazing job. The movie looks great. There’s going to be everything you want from a Bond movie…(laughs)just like I’m selling it doesn’t it, and more.”

  Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara walked the red carpet at The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo premiere. Craig plays the crusading reporter hero of the trilogy of novels. Director David Fincher casts Rooney Mara as Lisabeth Salander after The Social Network and an extensive audition process.

  Reporters are asking the young actress about being Craig’s star again in a Bond film. Mara tells Metro that while she enjoyed working with Daniel Craig she doesn’t see herself in a 007 movie.

  “I don’t know that I’d be a very good Bond girl”.

  I’m not sure Bond could handle Lisabeth Salander!
  Thanks to MI6 for the scoop.

Daniel Craig reveals his bigger behind the scenes role in the new 007 film Skyfall because of his experience on the last film Quantum of Solace to Time Out London.

Daniel Craig says he pushed for Sam Mendes as director of the next James Bond film.

“He’s English. He’s Cambridge educated, he’s smart. He’s lived with Bond his whole life. He grew up with Bond the way I did. I said to him, “We have to do this together, we have exactly the same reference points. We both like the same Bond movies. We both like the same bits in the same Bond movies we like.”

Craig referenced From Russia, With Love and Live and Let Die as films he talked about with Mendes.

Daniel Craig talks about working with David Fincher on his new film, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in the exclusive interview with Time Out London.
