Tomorrow Never Lies
* Craig Wants Denis Villenueve to direct Bond 25
* According to the The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye, Denis Villeneuve has spoken with Daniel Craig along with producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson about coming on-board as director for Bond 25. Further more, the report indicates that Craig has thrown his weight behind Villeneueve has his personal pick to helm the project.
* This corroborates with a report from Deadline in June that claimed Villeneuve was one of three front-runners for the coveted job.
* However, a more recent report from Deadline has thrown some doubt on Villeneuve's availability, positing that Villeneuve is in early talks with Sony to direct a Cleopatra biopic. This report comes on top of a Dune remake that Villeneuve is also rumored to be attached to.
* Thomas Newman Returning for Bond 25
* Omega Underground has allegedly come across a production listing for Bond 25 that, while not detailing a director or story synopsis, appears to reveal that composer Thomas Newman will return to the franchise to score Bond 25. Newman scored Skyfall and Spectre and was previously assumed to be leaving the series with the departure of his frequent collaborator Sam Mendes, but this production list suggests he may be sticking around.
* Honor Bernie Casey
* Bernie Casey, who played Felix Leiter in the unofficial James Bond film, Never Say Never Again, died September 19th, 2017, at the age of 78 after brief illness.


Q-Branch
* David Bowie’s awkward relationship with Sir Roger Moore
* In a new biography by Dylan Jones, ' David Bowie: A Life', there is an interesting tale of when David Bowie befriended Roger Moore. Sometime in the 1970s, Bowie moved to Switzerland (to avoid the oppressive tax regime of the UK at the time) despite not knowing anyone in the country. But 007 was just down the road. Oscar-nominated scriptwriter and novelist Hanif Kureishi provided this anecdote for the book.
* One day, about half-past five in the afternoon, there’s a knock on the door, and there he was: ‘Hello, David.’ Roger Moore comes in, and they had a cup of tea. He stays for drinks, and then dinner, and tells lots of stories about the James Bond films. They had a fantastic time - a brilliant night."
* "But then, the next day, at 5.30… Knock, knock, it’s Roger Moore. He invites himself in again, and sits down: ‘Yeah, I’ll have a gin and tonic, David.’ He tells the same stories – but they’re slightly less entertaining the second time around."
* "After two weeks [of Moore turning up] at 5.25pm – literally every day – David Bowie could be found underneath the kitchen table pretending not to be in.”
* Bowie was later offered the role of Max Zorin for 1985's 'A View To A Kill' but turned it down.
* Sir Roger Moore's official Twitter has disputed the validity of the story, calling it 'not true at all.'
