The 85-year-old actor Desmond Llewelyn will make his last appearance as Q in the latest James Bond film “The World Is Not Enough”. Additionally, Robert Carlye (Trainspotting, Priest, The Full Monty) has joined the film’s cast, playing a terrorist named Renard who has a bullet lodged in his brain, making him unable to feel pain.

Winding out the Bond news, one reader writes in with this tidbit… The novel “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” is the first appearance of the “Enough…” title, where it’s revealed that Bond may be related to a noble Bond family, whose crest shows the Bond name, a Griffin, a Chevron, three Gold Bezants, and the motto “The World Is Not Enough.”

And Sony isn’t having any luck with its attempts to lift an injunction barring it from starting its own James Bond film before its trial with MGM begins. Sony is claiming it owns the rights to “Thunderball” and can at least remake that film. They do appear to be at least developing it though, as the BBC recently reported that the studio is in talks with Sean Connery to play villain Ernst Blofeld, opposite Liam Neeson as 007, with Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin (ID4, Godzilla) producing the project. Seems everyone

wants a bit of Bond these days.
