Daily mail reports that Miss Moneypenny will be played by Naomie Harris.  If this is true, Naomie Harris will follow in the footsteps of Canadian Lois Maxwell and fellow Miss Moneypenny's Caroline Bliss and Samantha Bond.  (of the official series)


This would be a welcome return of Miss Moneypenny to the 007 series as we haven't been graced with with her onscreen presence since 2002's Die Another Day.


Stay tuned to Station C Canada for more updates to come.

Dom Perignon - James Bond

"I prefer the 53' myself".

Before going out on a mission, it is important to indulge in the finer things of life.  Many times throughout the 007 series we find our hero lounging around sipping on some Champagne.  There are many brands to choose from.  Sean Connery's Bond preferred Dom Perignon.

If you are from the USA, enjoy your fireworks tonight and have a sip of Champagne.

Goldfinger playing in Vancouver

Date: July 25, 2011
Time: 20:30

James Bond in China?

The rumour mill is turning and the latest comes from a source in France saying that Bond 23 will have some scenes or feature an action sequence in China.  The Great Wall of China would be featured in some form.

Depending on Bond 23's Cinematographer, China could have some excellent visuals.

China has been rumoured many times before.

Timothy Dalton's would be 3rd Bond movie was to see him in China.  This was eventually scrapped and they came up with a whole new script which was 1995's Goldeneye.  Dalton stepped down from the role in 1994 and let Pierce Brosnan give it a try.  Will we see 007 in China come the fall of 2012?

Canada Day!

Wishing all the fellow Canadian and world Bond fans Happy Canada Day. 

For everyone in the Nations Capital (Ottawa) have a great time with the celebrations and the fireworks.
