BOND 24 brings Daniel Craig back in October of 2015

In a bit of an unexpected jump on the film release season this year, BOND 24 has been announced – this the newest 007 film set for November of 2015 (or October if you live in the UK). This film will be rolling out with John Logan as screenplay writer and Sam Mendes returning as director of the film. And of course Daniel Craig is still Bond – James Bond.

This film appears to be taking on the hero title scheme accepted by so many high-powered media and device creators over the past year, bringing on note of which film this is, and that’s it. While The World may still be Not Enough, this agent-filled film will simply be known as its number.

You’ll also note that the first image sent out in support of this film continues the use of the modern-day 007 logo, complete with the pistol grip. This logo has been in use throughout the new millennium and signals the continuation of aims with the studio, actors, et all. The release of this film also follows suit.

Expect BOND 24 to be appearing in 2015 on the 23rd of October inside the UK. Meanwhile residents of the USA will have to sit and cry until the 6th of November. James Bond being a through-and-through British establishment, we’d expect nothing less.

Also note that this news was hereby splattered on the screen by the infamous @007 twitter account, a rare oddity in the Twitter world made for the one true Bond. That means it’s official.

Amazon Prime just added hundreds of Miramax titles in its instant video library, including award winners like Good Will Hunting and The English Patient, as well as cult favorites like Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Trainspotting and Reservoir Dogs. It’s a good get for the streaming service, especially after having lost so many of its greatest hits at the end of last month.

Young Adult: You Can Go Home Again (But Maybe You Shouldn’t?)

When a ghost writer of a failing young adult book series heads back to her hometown, things go… poorly. Very, very poorly. If you thought Charlize Theron was a monster in Monster, you should see her in Young Adult.

Take a virtual tour of Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley set on Google Street View

DNP Diagon Alley on Street View

Google has alohomora’d a way for everyone (even muggles) to visit Diagon Alley without the need for magic wands. You can now explore the famous Harry Potter set at Warner Bros. London studio via Street View, and virtually visit its shops like Ollivander’s or the garishly colored Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. It’s not the first Street View location within a building — in fact, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello residence is now open for digital visitors — but movie sets are a rare treat. This is probably the next best thing for those who want to see Diagon Alley in person but can’t fly to London, even though the studio lights and the green screen behind Gringotts could ruin childhoods. Unless, of course, Schmidt, Page and Brin are actually wizards who added those final touches to make a real magical marketplace look fake.

Glas: Glass Blowing Looks So Fantastically Fun

Bert Haanstra’s Glas is a short 10-minute documentary from 1958 about glass that won an Oscar. It’s a beautiful short that shows the art of glass blowing versus the character-less mechanism of automated glass bottle making machines. There’s no voice over, no narration, just beautiful scenes of glass being made. It’s like porn for manufacturing. Even while you don’t understand what’s going on, it’s lovely to see

Flixster for BlackBerry 10 adds UltraViolet movie streaming

Flixster for BlackBerry 10 adds UltraViolet movie streaming

BlackBerry 10 users have had Flixster’s app as a movie guide since January, but they haven’t had the chance to watch their discoveries on the BlackBerry itself. Thankfully, Flixster has provided that missing piece of the puzzle today by adding UltraViolet support (not pictured here). As with Android and iOS, anyone with a BB10 device can now stream videos saved in their UV locker. The upgrade brings regular Flixster accounts, too — members can mark the movies they want to see and review them afterward. Between these two major additions, the new Flixster app is easily worth an update at the source link.

James Bond’s Lotus Esprit submarine goes up for auction

James Bond’s Lotus Esprit submarine, one of the most memorable cars from the 007 movie franchise, is going up for sale in September. The car, which saved Bond – as played by Roger Moore – from a murderous helicopter gunship in 1977′s The Spy Who Loved Me, will go under the hammer on September 8 at RM Auctions in London; it’s actually one of seven different cars created to film the surprise submarine transformation.

In the film, Bond – accompanied by KGB agent Major Anya Amasova – drives the Lotus into the sea to escape the helicopter attack, then fires a torpedo to blast it out of the skies. The film crew created or commissioned seven different variations for the sequence, as the wheels fold in, dive-plane pods emerge, and the car transforms into a waterproof (barring bullet holes) craft.

This particular car, however, is perhaps the most exciting: the actual submarine Lotus, made by Perry Submarines, which was in effect a fully functional mobile sub dressed up to look like the Esprit. The craft wasn’t waterproof, however, and so was piloted by a diver using battery-powered motors, with a top speed of around ten knots.

Unfortunately there was no provision for actually converting it back into a road-going vehicle, and so the scenes showing the Lotus emerging onto the beach were filmed with yet another car. That was pulled up on hidden tracks, out of the water.

RM Auctions hasn’t said what it expects the iconic Esprit to fetch at auction, though it could be considerable. Back in 2010, the same auction house held the sale of the Aston Martin DB5 that featured in Goldfinger, which eventually sold for £2.6m ($4m).
