Dubbed ‘The Assignment,’ their out-of-this-world European itinerary is full of Bond-inspired activities, special effects and stunts, decadent splurges and privileged access. Pricing starts at $18,500 per person for the fabulous five-night-minimum exploit (including two or more destinations, excluding airfare), and there are 60 customizable limited-edition trips available. They each come with an exclusively commissioned Dr. No–inspired attaché case from Globe-Trotter.

Bonding In Britain: Book Launch Party For Jerry Juroe's "Bond, The Beatles And My Year With Marilyn"
By Mark Cerulli
Customers at London’s Bond in Motion exhibit could be forgiven for wondering about the steady stream of distinguished-looking people heading through the vehicle displays towards a private area – but they were witnessing a bit of James Bond history in the making. On on Thursday, October 11th, the Ian Fleming Foundation, Eon Productions, Iff founder Doug Redenius and this writer hosted a remarkable book signing for Charles “Jerry” Juroe, the executive who ran publicity on 14 Bond movies, from Dr. No right up to the dawn of the Pierce Brosnan era. His memoir, Bond, The Beatles and My Year with Marilyn is just out from McFarland Press. For 50 years, Jerry knew, worked with or encountered “Anyone who was anyone”. From Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, Mary Pickford to John Wayne, William Holden, Alfred Hitchcock and, yes, the Fab Four. Jerry even crossed paths with the legendary Howard Hughes.

Once again, Cinema Retro is proud to bring you behind the scenes on a world-class retro movie event.

It seemed only appropriate that Octopussy, the only James Bond film with a tenuous link to Wimbledon, should be the theme of BondStars’ summer barbeque on the very day Andy Murray became champion. (Octopussy actor and former tennis player Vijay Amritraj was semi-finalist in the men’s doubles in 1976!)
On a sweltering summer’s day, Octopussy At 30, re-united cast and crew from the 13th James Bond movie at Pinewood Studios where the movie was made back in 1982/83.
The day kicked off with a screening of the Blu-ray master (kindly lent by Eon Productions) in Theatre 7. Director John Glen, assistant director Anthony Waye and stars Maud Adams and Kristina Wayborn, were on hand to introduce the film to fans at the sold out event. Glen told the audience that Octopussy...

There are few London movie events to match a James Bond premiere, especially now that Harry Potter has gone to the giant horcrux in the sky, and Skyfall's didn't disappoint for scale and glamour. The Royal Albert Hall, bedecked in Eon regalia, hasn't seen this much pomp and circumstance since Elgar won Celebrity Prom Idol. Even 007 himself, Daniel Craig, looked a little dazed by the rapture levels in Kensington - and he's run up a crane and knocked over part of Venice.Alongside Daniel Craig were Judi Dench, Ben Whishaw - confessing that he hadn't seen the film yet (here's Empire's review, Ben) - Ralph Fiennes, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. Even the choice of transport - Aston Martins and Goldfinger's Rolls - was Bond-inspired. Sure, it would have been nice if at least one cast member had arrived by Little Nellie, but then it is restricted airspace.

Stars from the British sitcom 'Allo 'Allo are to reunite at the Spring Memorabilia Show at the NEC this weekend (March 26 to 27).
Cast members from the series, which aired on BBC1 from 1982 to 1992, will be at the event on both days to host panels, meet fans, sign autographs and pose for photographs.
Conceived as a parody of wartime drama Secret Army, the classic comedy took place in a French town occupied by the Germans during World War 2 - complete with a cast of Resistance agents, incompetent Nazis, bemused Raf airmen, buxom French beauties and a linguistically-challenged British spy.
Those attending the convention include Guy Siner (who played effete panzer commander Lieutenant Hubert Gruber), Richard Gibson (dastardly Gestapo officer Herr Otto Flick), Arthur Bostrom (Rugby's vowel-mangling spy Officer Crabtree), Kirsten Cooke (local resistance leader Michelle Dubois), Kim Hartman (Herr Flick's love interest Private Helga Geerhart), John D Collins (downed Raf airman...
