🍸👩🔫 James Bond News: February 2017
Published: Tue, 02/07/17
Naomie Harris revealed that work hasn't yet started on Bond 25, but we'd pretty much realised that anyway. When things start moving there's bound to be some kind of buzz leaking from Eon's HQ. It doesn't matter how quiet they want to keep things, someone always talks. At the moment nothing. Nada. Zip.
And screenwriters Purvis and Wade have been speaking to the press. They think Bond will have to go in a new direction, but then maybe they're just out of ideas. I have an idea for the direction the Bond franchise could head but I'll save that for an article sometime.
Speaking of which... You may have noticed the website isn't updated as frequently as it once was. Not just news, but the regular features that used to be posted weekly.
Well, last week I added an about page. Big deal, you think. While many of you know my story, it does have something new. It's about my great uncle and Australian Intelligence. Read it here (if you're interested, anyway).
One of the reasons for lack of updates is that I've been suffering from RSI (repetitive strain injury) in both hands. It sounds like a minor condition, but it is surprisingly debilitating and often I can't type. Just lately it's got a lot worse so I'm doing my best to rest my hands and recover fully. That's something I find hard to do.
Something else to mention is the special offer pricing on MI6 Confidential magazine, to which I sometimes contribute. You can sign up for the complete 2017 season of five issues and pay for just four plus delivery.
The magazine covers all aspects of 007 and is in full colour, a must have for any serious fan of James Bond.
Right, that's it for now. If anything solid happens regarding Bond 25 I'll send out another email alert, but I wouldn't hold your breath.Â
I'll definitely be back next month though!
Speak soon!
