JAMES BOND 007 DOCUMENTARY

On Friday the James Bond Franchise celebrates 50 years since the release of the first movie.   



 

Bond fans haven’t long to wait until the release of Skyfall( out on 26 October), but in the meantime they’ll be able to get another big-screen Bond hit in the form of Everything and Nothing: The Untold Story of 007.
This feature-length look at the turbulent history of the Bond films by film-maker Stevan Riley (who directed the excellent cricket doc Fire in Babylon) approaches the franchise chronologically and features insight from Ian Fleming, Albert & Dana Broccoli, Harry Saltzman and every single Bond actor.
Peppered with clips from the Bond movies, Everything or Nothing is an anecdote-packed exploration of a unique film series. Early reviews suggest the documentary will be essential viewing for 007 aficionados.
It'll be screened in selected Odeon cinemas from Friday (5 October), but before then you can check out the trailer and enjoy some photos from the film below:

JAMES BOND ASTON MARTIN

James Bond Aston Martin sold at auction for £2.6m

US broadcasting boss sells silver DB5 driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger and Thunderball to raise proceeds for charity 

 

A James Bond Aston Martin dubbed "the most famous car in the world" was sold at auction for £2.6 million.
The silver DB5, which was driven by Sir Sean Connery as the super spy in Goldfinger and Thunderball, had been expected to go for more than £3 million. A spokesman for the auctioneer said: "It's still a lot of money and I don't think anyone's disappointed."
American broadcasting boss Jerry Lee bought the 1964 car for $12,000 in 1969, and since then it has spent much of its time in the United States. He has said he plans to donate proceeds from the sale to his charitable foundation.
He said previously: "The James Bond car has brought me much enjoyment for some 40 years.
"Even as I sell it and use the proceeds to fund the Jerry Lee Foundation, the car will continue to give me great pleasure as it furthers the mission of the foundation to do good around the world."
Mr Lee set up his foundation more than 10 years ago to support education and anti-crime projects internationally.
The car was sold at Battersea Evolution in London by RM Auctions, together with Sotheby's.
