James Bond To Get a Dose Of Jason Bourne Magic for Bond 22 2007-09-04 07:25:26 Jason Bourne was bad news for Bond. Since the birth of Bourne, James Bond has been criticised for indulging in a little too much Champagne and playing with too many Pussy Galores. Surely he should be jumping off roofs and killing someone with his pinky finger? With Casino Royale, Bond stood up to Bourne and offered more gritty action and violence than the previous movies. Now, it seems Bond 22 is taking a further step to Bourne-dom by hiring Dan Bradley as second-unit director on the film. Now, you’re all saying Dan Bradley? Why is he important?

Cheryl has claimed that teenagers will struggle to cope with the pressures of appearing on the ITV1 talent series maybe she is right maybe she is wrong.

Michael Cerenzie Black Water Transit and Christine Peters’ new production banner, CP Productions have announced that they have bought the rights to make the most simple, boring video game adaptation of all time. Joust.
