  • RIP: There could be only one… the iconic Sean Connery.

    For many, the iconic  Sir Sean Connery, who passed away on Friday at the age of 90, will always be James Bond. He was the first man to portray Ian Fleming’s 007 on the big screen (in 1962’s Dr. No) and though the role went to a range of...
  • No Time to Release: Bond team’s 2021 mission statement…

    In what may likely prove to be the final cinematic domino-toppling move of 2020, the ever-resilient 007 has had to withdraw, the spectre of COVID meaning that there will be No Time to Die until sometime next year. At this point it seems the plan is for James Bond...
