There’s been much interest in a particular scene in Skyfall where the villain played by Javier Bardem flirts with James Bond and stroked his chest. There was even a hint of possible 007 bisexuality, as Bond is trying to get out of the sticky situation and comments, “What makes you think this is my first time?”
So is Bond meant to be bisexual? Well, the film’s screenwriter,John Logan has now been talking about it, and he seems keen to burst the bubble of those wondering if the secret agent will be getting into a bit of man love in future adventures.
Speaking to THR at the film’s New York Premiere, he says people have said he’s turning Bond bisexual “Because I’m, in fact, gay but not true at all.”
He adds, “(Director) Sam (Mendes) and I were discussing, there were so many scenes where Bond goes mano-a-mano with the villain, whether it’s Dr. No or Goldfinger or whatever, and there’s been so many ways to do a cat-and-mouse and intimidate Bond, and we thought, what would truly make the audience uncomfortable is sexual intimidation; playing the sort of homoerotic card that is sort of always there subtextually with characters like Scaramanga in Man With the Golden Gun or Dr. No. So we just decided that we should play the card and enjoy it.”
Of course, that doesn’t mean 007 has never indulged in a bit of experimentation, but it’s seems unlikely we’d ever see that on screen, or that it would be anything other than obliquely mentioned. And the sad truth is, that even in the Skyfall scene, it comes across as more Bond playing the villain’s game against him that an actual confession.
When Craig was asked a couple of weeks ago about the scene and whether Bond is bluffing, the actor commented, ‘”What are you going to do? I don’t see the world in sexual divisions.” He then changed the subject from Bond to Bardem’s wonderfully flamboyant character, Silva. “Someone suggested that Silva may be gay,” Craig said with a big smile. “And I’m like, ‘I think he’ll f*** anything.’ I love that scene, It makes me laugh. I hope it makes you laugh.”
As he’s been concentrating on being a bit of a douche in his band 30 Seconds To Mars, Jared Leto hasn’t been doing a lot of acting in the last few years. His last role was in the indie flick Mr. Nobody in 2009. However now he’s set to return to the big screen in The Dallas Buyers Club, playing a flamboyantly gay cross-dresser, according to 
As many predicted, the announcement of a new Star Wars movie has put the rumour mill into overdrive. A couple of days ago we reported that Matthew Vaughn is said to be in talks to helm Star Wars VII, and now we have another name to add to the list, Colin Trevorrow.
This one is a bit of a fan’s dream come true. Stephanie Thorpe and Paula Rhodes loved the comic book Elfquest so much they made their own fan short, Elfquest: A Fan Imagining. That’s now led to them being able to pick up the film rights to the property and announcing at the American Film Market that they’re going to make a movie version.
Although you’d have expected a movie that promises to reteam the surviving Pythons (minus Eric Idle) wouldn’t have much difficulty getting made, Absolutely Anything has been in development for a long time. Terry Jones has been in line to direct for nearly two decades, and in 2010 he signed up Terry Gilliam, John Cleese and Michael Palin to voice aliens in the movie.
Dominic Cooper has quite a good thing going as a supporting character in big summer movies, as he’s popped up in the likes of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Captain America: The First Avenger, and now 
There are a couple of biopics of Yves Saint Laurent in the works, and now one of them has moved forward with the news that 28-year-old French actor Gaspard Ulliel (Hannibal) will play him. The film will concentrate on the early days of the fashion designer’s career and the launch of the YSL brand, which during the 60s and 70s became one of the most innovative fashion houses in the world. Bertrand Bonello (House Of Tolerance) is set to direct, with plans to shoot next spring.
