Sam Mendes Reviews, Interviews & More

Just yesterday, we published a new picture from the set of set of Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond film, along with a video blog from director Sam Mendes.  Today, we have even more 007 news for you—it looks like James Bond, after 50 years on the big screen (literally—Dr. No was released in 1962), will finally make his debut in the IMAX format.

Though it’s happening slowly, new media is steadily trickling down from the production of Skyfall, the 23rd film in the James Bond franchise (and the third film in the Daniel Craig continuity).  So far, we’ve seen a pic of Bond sitting by a pool and getting his legs wet (not the most action-packed of scenarios), followed by a shot of a heavily-scruffed Daniel Craig holding a gun...

Last month, we reported on the first official picture from Skyfall, the 23rd film in the James Bond franchise (and the third film in the Daniel Craig continuity).  The picture wasn’t exactly action packed and didn’t reveal much, showing as it did the back of Bond’s head as he casually sat by a pool with his legs in the water; however, this new picture features a rough-looking...

Yep, that's Daniel Craig, and Empire is reporting that this is the first official picture of James Bond in Skyfall, the 23rd film in the franchise. The film is due out November 9 later this year, and shooting is underway, so there's plenty of time to speculate what madness Bond gets into in this adventure. The film is being directed by Sam Mendes and also stars Judi...

James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, and director Sam Mendes held a press conference in London yesterday morning to unveil the title of the 23rd bond film – Skyfall. Daniel Craig will reprise his role as the handsome and daring James Bond, along with Judi Dench. The new cast was also announced, along with plot details and shooting locations,...

Hey, at least it isn’t Quantum of Solace (or Octopussy, The Spy Who Loved Me, or Die Another Day, for that matter), right?  Well, it appears that the 23rd James Bond film may finally have a title, and, in the tradition on vague, one-word titles in the Bond franchise, it could be worse:...

Oh boy—fans of the classic-era James Bond films just might have something to draw them to the upcoming (and currently untitled) James Bond 23, the third film in the Daniel Craig iteration of the long-running franchise: classic Bond super villain and arch nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld (you know, the guy that Dr. Evil was partly based...

After a long, long wait, spy film fans can finally rest easy—the as-yet untitled 23rd James Bond film is set to launch production later this year, according to Coming Soon.  As you may remember, the Daniel Craig incarnation of the franchise was in hot water when MGM went bankrupt last year, but, according Judi Dench (who has played Bond boss M in...

After all the back and forth between MGM and EON Productions, the 23rd installment of the James Bond franchise has been confirmed. It's happening and everyone is finally on the same page. According to a statement sent out by EON, they've confirmed Daniel Craig to star, Sam Mendes to direct, and a new release date.

In a weird round about way we've received confirmation that the next James Bond film is still going strong. Back in November is was announced that MGM planned to release Bond 23 in 2012, which puts the production on a pretty short time table. Next month will be 2011 so they need to get the ball rolling. Luckily we know that Daniel Craig is still on board with the...

Big-shot director Sam Mendes has landed a rebound project after Bond 23 was given the heave-ho. He's moved on to bigger and better things or at least what he hopes will be better. Sources are reporting that he may direct a prequel to the beloved classic Wizard of Oz entitled, Oz the Great and Powerful based on the...

Just yesterday we heard about the uncertain future of the James Bond franchise, and within 24 hours the tide has changed. According to the Heat Vision blog, the next film is being fast tracked into production and has taken on an Oscar winning director. Close sources are stating that Sam Mendes has just been tapped to helm the latest Bond installment.

Why you should see Away We Go: Sam Mendes directed it and I wouldn't be surprised to see it get nominated for some awards. Both Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski are brilliant in the film and unlike you've ever seen them before. It's completely honest and yet hilarious in...

I walked out of Sam Mendes' new film, Away We Go, starring Maya Rudolph and John Krasinki feeling awe-inspired and in desperate need of travel. I have long been a fan of Mendes' work, so a chance to sit down talk to him one on one about a film I truly loved was a wonderful experience. Mendes is was how I expected him to be. He takes his time to really think about...

We are giving away some great stuff for the upcoming comedy Away We Go by Oscar Winning director Sam Mendes, which will hit selected theaters on June 5th. The film stars The Office’s John Krasinski and SNL’s Maya Rudolph as Burt and Verona; a thirty something year-old couple who hit the road...

Revolutionary Road is a sobering yet intriguing tale of conformity and suburban discontent, using the disintegration of a marriage to illustrate how the dreams of two former free spirits has turned sour. Set in 1955, the plot focuses on the hopes and aspirations of the ambitious Frank and April Wheeler, who leave the city to raise their children in the Connecticut...

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet meet up again in Sam Mendes' new film Revolutionary Road. The story is about a young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s struggle to come to terms with their personal problems while trying to raise their two children. This is what would have happened if Rose and Jack would have stayed together. It's all passionate at first and then...
