The One and Only Ocean Club from Casino Royale

One of the most impressive locations in Casino Royale was the One and Only Ocean Club in Paradise Island in the Bahamas. In addition to real luxury, with first class restaurants with HUGE prices, the main attraction is the unspoilt beaches with ocean views - the girls will remember that scene when Daniel Craig comes out of the water :-)

Villas in the resort hotel are eye wateringly expensive, but there are cheaper accommodations available there. Just remember to practise your texas holdem before you visit and maybe you'll win an Aston MArtin DB5 too.

Algerian Love Knot

Just seen this great product for all Bond girls out there - an Algerian Love Knot necklace similar to that in Casino Royale. Although it isn't by the same designer, it does look pretty good.

Daniel Craig gearing up for James Bond 22

Daniel Craig has been photographed recently driving a speedboat in his rehearsals for James Bond 22. In an interview on Jonathan Ross he said that he had started rehearsing that day for some of the action scenes and with just three weeks before photography starts he is into it like crazy. For the next film he is reportedly trying not to build up so much muscle and is therefore practising yoga and pilates. All will be revealed in the fullness of time though and perhaps we'll be terated to some early footage in March, as we were with Casino Royale in 2006.

James Bond in 2008

The most famous undercover agent in the world, namely James Bond, is making a welcome return in the shape of Daniel Craig next year after the script was handed in - apparently unpolished - just a few days before the writers strike began earlier this month.
While we still have to wait until November 2008 until the next film in the installment is released there are a few plans for 2008, the centenary of the birth of Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond.
The first of these is the release by the Royal Mail of a special series of stamps to commemorate Fleming's birth, which feature some of the book covers. Then the Imperial War Museum in London devotes an exhibition to Fleming and Bond. Finally a new book, written by Sebastian Faulks, will be released to coincide with Fleming's actual birthday on 28th May.
