Skyfall Filmmakers 3D-Printed This Rare Aston Martin So They Wouldn’t Damage the Original

These days filmmakers often turn to computer graphics for scenes of destruction that would otherwise be too expensive or dangerous to stage in real life. But Skyfall posed a different problem. Namely that the effects crew didn't want to damage a priceless 1960 Aston Martin DB 5 that appeared in the original Bond film 50 years ago. Read More >>

Meet the New Q: He’s Got Some Spunk, This Kid

It looks like Bond might have met his match in the new Q. He might be a tad on the young side, but he's certainly no pushover -- more Desmond Llewelyn's "oh shut-up Bond" than John Cleese's crazy, all-over-the-place Q, as this brand new Skyfall clip shows. Read More >>
