Topic: The 007 Scrapbook .

Thought I'd start a thread for all sorts of Bond related bits and pieces.
As some times You can come across a Bond related story or link but
Find it doesn't really fit in any thread, as it may be only slightly connected
With 007.
Like yesterday in The Mirror, Ronan Keating stated he'd love to play Bond.
and as the musical he's in is produced by Barbara Broccoli, he might have
A chance  ajb007/lol .
Found this cutting on how Hoover didn't want the FBI mentioned in GF !
http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/de … an-fleming
The files show how spooked the FBI became at the prospect of being portrayed in the 1964 Bond movie Goldfinger, in which 007 foils the eponymous baddie in an attempt to steal bullion from Fort Knox.

Re: The 007 Scrapbook .

Detailed interview with Sir Ken Adam, plus video marking the opening of "Bigger Than Life. Ken Adam's Film Design" exhibition in Berlin. I am posting links to both the original German article plus the Google translated version. For some reason, the video only works for me in the original.

Re: The 007 Scrapbook .

The man who helped bring Ian Fleming's dashing secret agent James Bond to film is remembered by his children as a loving father who abandoned the lucrative franchise and skipped Los Angeles for St. Petersburg so he could devote more time to his wife. The late Harry Saltzman, in other words, was the antithesis of the British agent, who romanced different women in each Bond film.
