Tuesday, December 16, 2008
There’s so many items that are movie tie-ins that it’s hard to get excited about seeing the next action figure, Star Wars hoodie design or special edition DVD case, but today I saw something that got me feeling like a kid on Christmas morning. Swatch unveiled their latest special line-up of watches: 22 watches all inspired by the villains from the James Bond film series. Each 007 movie bad guy/gal gets his own her own watch. I’ve gone through all 22 different designs and they all have their own kind of awesome. Continue reading…

Bourne to go on like 007
Friday, November 21, 2008
It didn’t come as any surprise to me when word crept out from Universal that the studio has signed Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass to do another Jason Bourne movie. The existing trilogy of Bourne-mania — The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum — have earned $525 million dollars at the box office domestically and have also been loved by movie critics. In fact, it’s likely that the reason Daniel Craig has to thank for his job as the current 007. And there hasn’t been any shortage of suggestions that Jason Bourne could continue to star in more movies, giving Uni its own James Bond-ish spy franchise that could extend for decades.

James Bond, the Quantum of Solace and MovieSet
Wednesday, September 03, 2008
Daniel Craig returns for his second mission as the world’s most suave secret agent in Quantum of Solace, the new James Bond movie set for release on November 7. For the first time ever in the Bond franchise Quantum is a direct sequel to the previous 007 film, Casino Royale. After being betrayed by Vesper Lynd, watching her die and then learning that she was blackmailed by a terrorist organization with tentacles across the globe, Bond goes after the bad guys and doesn’t pull any punches. Crossing the globe in search of his quarry, 007 allies with a beautiful woman (Olga Kurylenko) who is also on a mission of vengeance against the same people he’s hunting.
MovieSet’s sitelet for Quantum of Solace is now up and we’ve got plenty for you to download. Take a look at nearly three dozen stills from the movie, watch the film’s trailer and then see the behind-the-scenes interviews with Daniel Craig about what’s new for his character in the latest adventure. We’ll also be adding more behind-the-scenes videos to our Quantum site in the days ahead.
And here’s a little trivia fact about the title of the flick: Quantum of Solace was selected by producer Michael Wilson only a few days before it was officially announced to the world. Wilson took the title from a short story that Bond creator Ian Fleming wrote in his “For Your Eyes Only” compilation.

Spoofing the inevitable theme song for “Quantum of Solace”
Thursday, August 07, 2008
I spotted it first on Ain’t It Cool and like it so much that I’ve got to do my part in spreading it around the series of tubes called the internet. It’s a funny take on what (should) be the theme song for the next 007 movie Quantum of Solace by musician Joe Cornish. Click and let your ears devour the comedy:
