News tidbits

Well, rumors suggest that it looks like Sony has put QOS in the bill for this year's Comic-Con. And with a possibility of Daniel Craig joining them.
The best bit of all this though, is that footage is expected in some form, probably a teaser, but hopefully a 3 min clip from the film.
Comic-Con will take place from July 23rd all the way to 27th. So expect some news coming down the tube during this time.

Also on the bill is a large presentation for Frank Miller's "The Spirit", a full screening of "Tropic Thunder".
And also clips for "Star Trek", "G.I. Joe", "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", "Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins" and "Friday the 13th", to name a few could be screened.

Although QOS appearing at Comic-Con is still just a strong rumor, it seems very lightly that this will happen.
After all QOS is gonna be Sony's tent pole picture this year, so their gonna do their best to shout about it.

There were pics of Babs claiming her prize from both Robbie Coltrane and Hugh Grant, but none of her doing the same with Daniel... I'm disappointed

And how the hell does one cut oneself in the right hand when one's righthanded?

All my knife cuts are in the left hand (and yeah, I was thinking a lot about cut finger tips when I was cooking earlier today!)...

Nice pics , funny how his hair looks dark in the first one and lighter in the last one . Is that Babs next to him ? She looks too young , Babs is 47 . I would think she could kiss him for free ...

Nice pictures, but Daniel looks a few steps away from emaciation in this one.

Skeletor face, ugh.

He looks tired and worn out. I'm glad Bond is almost done filming.

Barbara Broccoli's $38,000 Kiss With Daniel Craig

Bond producer and star attend Great British Movie Event auction

A kiss with 007? That’ll be £19,000 ($38,000).

That’s how much James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli shelled out for a kiss with Daniel Craig at the Great British Movie Event last night.

The Bond producer also got a kiss with actors Hugh Grant and Robbie Coltrane for her money at the event—an auction to raise money for the National Film and Television School.

As previously reported on CommanderBond.net, a tuxedo worn by Craig in 2006’s Casino Royale was to go up for bid at the event along with several other collectibles and memorabilia. According to a press release, it eventually sold for £9,500 ($19,000).

Craig also bid on Harry Potter memorabilia at the auction, winning the lot for £18,000 ($36,000).

The Great British Movie Event took place at the Old Billingsgate in London.

Babs is doing her thing! It's all for a good cause

Hollywood, CA (CNS) - The actor who plays James Bond is now the owner of an uncorrected proof of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."
Actor Daniel Craig won the rare item at the Great British Movie auction, The Guardian reports.
Bidding for the copy came down to Craig and actor Hugh Grant ("About A Boy," "Four Weddings and a Funeral").
"As diners held their breath the two were locked in a bidding tussle until it was knocked down to Craig, at a princely ?18,000," notes the article.
Proceeds from the auction, which also included some rare props from the "Potter" film, will benefit the National Film and Television School. David Yates, director of the fifth and sixth "Potter" films, attended the school.
A lot of the "Potter" players were in attendance at the event - Alan Rickman (who plays Snape in the films), Mike Newell ("Goblet of Fire" director) and Robbie Coltrane (who plays Hagrid).

Sean Connery on Casino Royale...."Half an hour too long. And the music was shit". This from someone who resurrected his Bond stint for that stonker "Never Say Never Again".

I was just thinking the same thing. It looks like its starting to take its toll - only natural I suppose.

I think Sean is right about the music . I don't think any songs have been memorable since License to kill . I can't say a line to any of them.

You can talk about Daniel Craig's perfectly toned bod all you like (go on, we'll wait). But in this James Bond franchise revamp — more of a rebirth, really — the actor also offers a perfectly toned performance as a killing machine who's barely aware that he has a heart until it gets slashed to ribbons.

Yes. She looks nice. I love that picture of her with her head on Dan's shoulder. Mmmm such peaceful and satisfied expression on the face

But this event and especially Babs winning Dan's kiss is rather funny 2 me. Why not offer the chance of winning his kiss to someone who is unfortunately unable to do this in reality? It seems she can get it for free anytime
