Better late than never, the previously un-released poster of Albert Finney's character 'Kincade' in the 23rd adventure - SKYFALL was released by EMPIRE magazine. The poster wasn't released with the other set because the producers wanted to keep Kincade's character a secret until the film's release.

Actress Judi Dench who played 'M' in last years Skyfall (and 6 other films) talked about the fact that Skyfall didn't make the Best Picture shortlist at the 2013 Oscars.

Skyfall, however, received nominations in five other categories and a 50th Anniversary celebration will be held at the awards ceremony this month.

Congratulations to SKYFALL’s Production Designer Dennis Gassner who won the Art Director’s Guild Award for contemporary film last night in LA at the 17th Annual Excellence In Production Design Awards for 2012. Earlier that evening Gassner joined Bond production luminaries Ken Adam, Peter Lamont, and Allan Cameron who were honoured with the guild’s Cinematic Imagery Award, recognising the longest-running franchise in film history for its visionary and innovative design.

Back in 2003, Director and Writer Quentin Tarantino expressed his opinion on the next Bond film and hoped to be approached by Producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli to allow him to adapt "Casino Royale" as a 1950's drama Bond film starring Pierce Brosnan. However, when the producers refused, he tried to make the film on his own, with no success. "Casino Royale" emerged as the 21st James Bond film with Martin Campbell and Daniel Craig, and Tarantino has remained unfaithful to the Bond series ever since.

Just recently whilst promoting his latest film "Django Unchained", he was quizzed about the violence which is present in films of this era. Tarantino, again, brought up the subject of James Bond.

SKYFALL, the UK’s most successful film of all time, has been nominated for eight awards by The EE British Academy Film Awards.

Nominations are Outstanding British Film (Sam Mendes, Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, John Logan), Supporting Actor (Javier Bardem), Supporting Actress (Judi Dench), Original Music (Thomas Newman), Cinematography (Roger Deakins), Editing (Stuart Baird), Production Design (Dennis Gassner, Anna Pinnock) and Sound (Stuart Wilson, Scott Millan, Greg P. Russell, Per Hallberg, Karen Baker Landers).

The Awards will take place on Sunday 10th February at The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London.

It was announced today that SKYFALL, the 23rd James Bond adventure, has surpassed $1 billion at the worldwide box office. SKYFALL is the most successful Bond film of all time, the highest-grossing film of all time in the UK, the first film to pass £100 million at the UK box office and it is also the most successful film at the worldwide box office in Sony Pictures history.

Skyfall took in $4.6 million this weekend in North America for a cumulative to date of $289.6 million. Overseas, the film grossed $10.3 million for an international total to date of $710.6 million and a worldwide cumulative exceeding $1 billion and growing.

Thank you, Bond fans around the world, for making SKYFALL such an incredible success.
