James Bond actor will likely arrive in the next few months. Until then, the bookies have been tracking the most likely actors to take over from Daniel Craig after his final movie, No Time To Die. Rumours recently hit that Tom Hardy had already been cast as the enigmatic spy, but the bookies' odds seem to point in a different direction.

James Bond movies seems to suggest that Craig’s destiny always had him heading toward the tuxedo.  Highlighting the occasion of the birthday Bond, the official 007 Instagram account showcased a clip reel of Daniel Craig highlights. As No Time To Die has closed out the most recent era of James Bond, it’s bittersweet to see the entire five-film run flash before our eyes.

Last Night In Soho, the nostalgic sinister feature from director Edgar Wright, has won Best Film at the BandLab NME Awards 2022.The film beat out Licorice Pizza, Promising Young Woman, Sound Of Metal, and The Harder They Fall for the award.Ahead of presenting the award, Stath Lets Flats star and creator Jamie Demetriou said: “I’m incredibly hammered from all the rock music!”He added: “When we think of film, we think of storytelling. When I think of film, I think of the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”“Thank you so much, this is such a nice surprise,” director Edgar Wright said on the podium while collecting the award alongside the film’s star Michael Ajao.

Sam Heughan is back playing Jamie Fraser in the highly-anticipated Outlander Season 6. The Scottish actor will soon return to our screens in the hugely popular Outlander series. Outlander Season 6 will be available from March 6 – and Heughan himself was on the red carpet for the world premiere on February 24.

Lily Moayeri Johnny Marr materializes on the Zoom screen a little bit like an apparition until he’s settled, his camera following his movements as he swings around the captain’s chair in his studio, Crazy Face Factory, in his hometown of Manchester, UK.Marr can be regarded as practically a mythical figure to those who have long regarded him as one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and the co-songwriter in one of the greatest bands of all time, the Smiths — status that’s a little bit at odds with the thoughtful and grounded gentleman who is dressed kind of like a cleric.There is a lot going on with Marr at the moment. “No Time to Die,” the Billie Eilish song on which he played guitar, won a Golden Globe last month to go along with its 2021 Grammy and current Oscar nomination.

It’s all in Daniel Craig’s eyes.

Ambulance.His co-star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II contributed to a recent cover profile of Gyllenhaal, and discussed seeing Gyllenhaal take control of the camera himself.“There were times when he would take the camera from Mike [Bay] and then you look around and Jake is shooting the scene,” Abdul-Mateen II told Esquire.“I had never seen anything like that before. I’m curious about those things, but I would never ask the director if I could shoot a scene.”Gyllenhaal had said, discussing Bay, that while “Michael can be brash, and he can be awkward” he enjoyed the shoot, with Abdul-Mateen saying the actor “made the entire set his playground” and added that “Jake loves the camera”.Meanwhile, Jake Gyllenhaal recently addressed the extended 10-minute version of Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well’, a song long rumoured to be about their past relationship.Fans of Swift have long believed the song draws on her romantic relationship with Gyllenhaal between October 2010 to March 2011.“It has nothing to do with me.

Michael Bay prides himself on the stunts and explosions in his neverending string of action films throughout his directing career. He’s likely best known for intense highway chases and an avalanche of destruction in his movies, and there are a lot of wheels in motion to keep a safe set with all that going on.

Zack Sharf Jake Gyllenhaal surprised his “Ambulance” co-star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II on the set of the upcoming Michael Bay action movie by taking the camera out of the filmmaker’s hand and directing scenes of the movie himself. “Ambulance” is based on the 2005 Danish film of the same name by Laurits Munch-Petersen and Lars Andreas Pedersen.

The Guinness World Records gave the James Bond film “Spectre” the honor of having the biggest explosion on film, but the “Transformers” director begs to differ.“James Bond tried to take the ‘largest explosion in the world’,” Bay, 57, recently told Empire Magazine. “Bulls—t. Ours is.”He’s referring to his 2001 WWII film “Pearl Harbor” that was released almost 15 years before “Spectre.”The war film contains a 40-minute scene in which the Japanese bomb of Pearl Harbor in Honolulu and a massive explosion combusts.“[Producer] Jerry Bruckheimer showed Ridley Scott the movie,” Bay told the publication. “And the quote [from Scott] was, ‘F—k me.’ No one knows how hard that is.

“James Bond tried to take the ‘largest explosion in the world’,” Bay said in an interview with Empire Magazine. “Bulls—. Ours is.”By “ours,” Michael Bay is referring to his WWII film “Pearl Harbor,” released 14 years before “Spectre” and which features a 40-minute re-enactment of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in Honolulu.
