And he said it was because the timers were set for three minutes instead of six! Sean Bean gets his scars applied for Goldeneye. #jamesbond #seanbean #Goldeneye

Shaken, not stirred … Remembering Sir Sean Connery, legendary actor and arguably the finest James Bond, born #OnThisDay in 1930.

📸 On the set of the 1964 Bond movie Goldfinger, the debut of the iconic Aston Martin DB5.

August 25, 1989: The production team for "License To Kill" moves from Key West, Florida back to Mexico. Their first stop was Centro Ceremonial Otomí which doubled for for the Olympiatec Meditation Institute & drug laboratory sequences.

One of the most underrated shots in the Bond franchise. Absolutely terrifying stuff…. and it’s just the beginning of the scene.
No wonder THUNDERBALL is a victory lap. Terence Young (+ Ted Moore) was cooking with magma here. 🔥🧊

The late, great Sir Sean Connery was born on this day back in 1930: a screen diamond who will be forever.

When there were doubts that Bernard Lee would appear in LALD, Roger Moore's friend & fellow actor Kenneth More apparently offered to step in as 'M'. Fortunately, Lee was able to reprise his famous role & turned in another superb turn as Bond's boss.

They’re shooting at Checkpoint Charlie! The early 80s in full swing here… #jamesbond #rogermoore

I've enjoyed Jack Lowden in Slow Horses and think he blends charm, comedy and drama well, plus able to do action.

I don't recall seeing Callum Turner in anything, but he just looks like a rugby player to me.

I'd rather Bond appear as a gentleman who is a thug than vice versa.

[Joe G @Movie_madness80]

I would laugh if all the rumours of Turner and Lowden were absolute nonsense and a complete unknown was cast. TBH it might not be a bad thing? 🧐

August 23, 1963: Filming wraps for "From Russia With Love," finishing up with closeups of the burning SPECTRE boat and crew at Pinewood Studios. The chase was filmed in Argyll, Scotland, but the fire-drenched footage of the crew was filmed back in the studio.
