According to Daniel Craig, it would be better for an American to play the smooth talking secret agent 007 ‘James Bond’ than a British actor - bit strange as James Bond is British!.
The Hollywood heart throb, who plays James Bond for second time in ‘Quantum Of Solace’ feels that the British sense of self-mockery takes something away form the character and that ‘Brisishness’ could be the down fall of the spy character.
“I am always trying to self-mock. I am trying to put it down or to laugh it off but you have got to be careful because false humility is not a great trait,” he said.
“Sometimes I wonder if it would be easier if I was American, because I am deeply English.”

When the deadly reaper virus strikes the authorities have no choice but to corner off the whole of Scotland and leave its inhabitants to die before the virus can spead any further. Three decades after this brutal quarantine, the entire population is presumed dead behind a high-tech 21st century version of Hadrian’s wall - but whenthe reaper virus resurfaces this time in London and it become evident that there are survivors of the virus (caught by a satellite) an elite group of specialists are sent into the nightmarish wastelands that was once Glasgow to apprehend one of the survivors to develope a cure by any means necessary
Although the movies story lacks substance for example where did the virus come from? how did it reemerge? why dont the cars windows seem to work during the car chase at the end of the film? and most importantly how come non of the survivors sound remotely Scottish? it is still very entertaining to watch if you enjoy action packed stunts, explosions and a lot of Gorey scenes - definitely not for the squeamish.
Good news for James Bond fans. Quantum of Solace will be released earlier than expected. The producers have quoted 31st October as the release date.
Filming is in full flow already in Panama and the United States having completed filming in Pinewood Studios in January.
Quantum of Solace follows on from Casino Royale where Bonds heart was broken when the girl he loved was killed. So as you can guess, Bond will not rest until he finds her killer.
Well it seems the rumours were true about a new Superman film, as Robert Meyer Burnett, videographer on the first Superman Returns wrote a brief Q&A article on BlueTights.net explaining about the filming schedule.
He gets asked if he is going to work on a sequel, to which he replies he is already working on the sequel and Bryan (director), Brandon and the rest of the cast are working on it too. Filming will begin on March 2008 and will not be affected by the WWII film Bryan will be shooting over the summer.
So this ends speculation about what is happening with the film…..brilliant is all i can say, as i throughly enjoyed the previous film and have been a follower of the Superman saga since i was 6.
When i have more pictures and information I will post them on here.
After going to the cinema at the weekend, i was rather delighted to see a brand new trailer for The Dark Knight.
I must say that usually films have fantastic PR and then fail to amaze when it counts. But this time i think we should be prepared for excitement this film will give.
Christian Bale is the man behind the mask keeping crime at bay in Gotham City. That is until the Joker played by the late Heath Ledger unleashes his terror upon the city. Batman is sure in for a fight to come through his most personal and vicious enemy yet.
Well a very gory and violent film and provides the fans with what they want, lots of action. The film really tells the truth about life in south east Asia, such as the danger missionaries encounter when trying to reach people in conflicted area and the quality of life people have to put up with.
The story is set twenty years after Rambo three, and we see John Rambo now living in Thailand in the middle of one of the longest civil wars ever seen. After Rambo learns of the disappearance of a group of missionaries he rises up to the challenge and explodes into life. Here we see some powerful scenes as throats get slashed, limbs hacked off, heads blown to pieces and bodies get destroyed by machine guns.
The part of the film that really touches you is the news footage at the beginning as these are real and not especially made for the film and show scenes of violence and living conditions. I am hoping that after seeing the film many of us will take note of how well off we are when compared to others in the world.
