Mendes to Direct Bond again?

Woo hoo! Well it seems that the rumours may be true and that Sam Mendes may be returning once again to direct the next Bond Film.  However, filming can’t begin until after the launch of his new venture at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – due to launch at the end of June!

Sam Mendes has ruled himself out as taking over the National Theatre role as director as it would mean he wouldn’t have the time to direct films – could he mean Bond films?  The James Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band hope so!  We’d like to see another Bond film directed by Sam Mendes soon!

Most Memorable Bond Girl Ever!

Well it’s official!  The Queen has been given an honorary Bafta for the “Most Memorable Bond Girl” in recognition of a lifetime’s support of British Film and Television.  The award was presented to the Queen by the Sir Kenneth Brannagh. We all know that the London Olympics was fantastic for the UK both economically and emotionally and seeing the Queen arrive in style by parachute and “Skyfall”  (yes ok, we know it was a stunt man really but this was brilliant for the film and Bond fans worldwide) had to be one of the main highlights of the Olympics.  Daniel Craig arriving at Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen and escort her through the corridors was a brilliantly fantastic idea and showed the World that the Queen has a great sense of humour.  Only one thing was missing in our view though – an appearance by a James Bond Tribute Band!  It would have been awesome to have had THE Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band there performing the Bond Music – Skyfall as she landed and made her entrance!
