Hi - it's hard to believe it's 2020 already, but at least it means we've got just three months before the release of No Time to Die!

Since one of your New Year Resolutions may be to get fit you might want to read this article I wrote for the site back in 2014 about fitness. My own fitness routine has changed quite a bit since then but you might find the article useful if you do want to get fit this year. 

And if you want some Bond style while working out then check out our MI6 logo t-shirts and sweatshirts.


This month I'll start with the sad news of the death of Thunderball actress Claudine Auger after a long period of illness.

Born in Paris on 26th  April 1941, Claudine Auger first came to prominence as runner up in the 1958 Miss World contest and made her film debut when still in school. She is the first main female lead to from the Bond films to die.
 

No Time to Die

December saw the marketing department on No Time to Die get down to work. 

Following the release of character posters for the film came the first No Time to Die trailer. But in instead of the teaser we were expecting it is a full trailer. 

You must have seen it by now, but just in case you haven't click that link above to watch it in all it's glory. To coincide with the release of the trailer a number of production stills were also released. 
 

 

And  James Bond’s latest watch was unveiled at an Omega event in New York attended by Daniel Craig, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson.

Action vehicles used in No Time to Die are now on display at Bond In Motion at the London Film Museum. Included in the new display are an Aston Martin DB5 stunt replica with damage and bullet hits, Aston Martin V8, Land Rover Series III from Jamaica and a New Land Rover.

Eon Productions and partners announced a 007 poster competition with cash prizes. If you fancy yourself as an artist check out the competition website.

Breaking news: Hans Zimmer is reported to be working on the score for No Time to Due.
