Bond 25 News: Danny Boyle tabbed to direct?

In what must certainly be considered the best news to come out of the Bond camp since the Daniel Craig sported a black tactleneck a Spectre teaser, Danny Boyle has confessed to signing on as director for the next James Bond film. Since this is a page about James Bond,...

Credits Remixed

Live and Let Die Opening Remixed with Jimi Hendrix

Have you ever thought that Paul McCartney needed more guitar in his title track for Live and Let Die? Did you think that maybe the Guns 'n f'n Roses' version of "Live and Let Die" might have been...

Moonraker Opening Remixed w/ Kate Bush

@DrMattFinch came to me and he said, "#Bond_age_ Guy why haven't you used Kate Bush's "James and the Cold Gun" for a Remix? And I said, "How could I have overlooked this potential?" Well, I've...

Quantum of Solace Opening Remixed w/ Reverend Horton Heat

I didn't mind the Alicia Keys/Jack White combo on the QoS intro, but I've always wanted to use a Reverend song for a Bond intro and I think I finally found my opportunity. And by "don't mind" I mean...

Tomorrow Never Dies Opening Credits Remixed with the Rolling Stones

The original title track for TOMORROW NEVER DIES shall go unmentioned. It’s just safer that way. You never know when you'll be in mixed company getting all worked up about Sheryl Crow's abomination...

Tomorrow Never Dies Opening Remixed with Saint Etienne

Saint Etienne's track was considered for Tomorrow Never Dies before Sheryl Crow. It's not a perfect vibe for a Bond song, but I dig Saint Etienne and this is a decent jam. Tomorrow Never Dies...

Licence to List

Pre-Title Sequences: Licence to List

We've been delinquent on our list-making. Our apologies. I blame Spectre for anything that's gone haywire at #Bond_age_. I'm sure Waltzfeld had something to do with the fact that we started making this list more than a year ago and it's just now seeing the light of...

James Bond Movie Rankings: Licence to List

I've always resisted widely publicizing my full James Bond Movie Rankings. I've resisted because a simple ranking system of all 24 films seemed to undermine the spirit of James Bond enjoyment. Fans of 007 find entertainment in even the diciest Bonds. Maybe I've had a...

Custom DVD Covers

Moonraker #Bond_age_ Collection DVD Cover

So ingrained are the “pew pew pew” sound effects used during the climactic space laser battle that they had to be a centerpiece of the cover. Or, per Trevor Jost, SPACE. LASER. BATTLE. Once I figured out how to use the “pew pew pew” for the Moonraker #Bond_age_ Collection DVD Cover, the rest fell into place. I borrowed a few images from stills and found the right picture of Earth from space and that was really about it. Sometimes it’s just best not to over-think these things. My only stumble… I had a hard time picking a font. I couldn’t decide whether to go with the more traditional font used on the posters or branch out on my own. Ultimately I chose the depth of this future-ish type font (or at least the future from the perspective of the 1970’s) over tradition.

My Favorite #Bond_age_: The Spy Who Loved Me by Adam Slusar

The Spy Who Loved Me was a film I caught in fragments at a young age; mostly, I remember feeling a sense of impatience anytime Jaws (Richard Kiel) wasn’t onscreen. But with every repeat viewing, the film gets better and better. Spy demonstrates that crafting a completely original Bond adventure, which branches away from Fleming while retaining the essentials, can result in one of the finest Bond films ever made.
