There was a false alarm a while back, and a rumored title for the 25th James Bond movie was falsely reported across a multitude of Internet outlets. Well, turns out the flick isn’t called Shatterhandafter all: Daniel Craig‘s final turn as Bond is titled No Time to Die.
Let’s be real–that’s an instant classic Bond title. It’s pretty much perfect.
Here’s a new synopsis:
In NO TIME TO DIE, Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help.
The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
It seems like trouble just finds Bond, no matter what. You’d think he’d learn after all this time.
Anyways, the moviealso stars Rami Malek as the villain, Ana De Armas as the latest Bond girl, Lashana Lynch as the new agent who takes on the 007 code name, former Maxim cover model Léa Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Jeffrey Wright, and Ralph Fiennes.
After an April 3 U.K. premiere, No Time to Die opens in U.S. theaters on April 8, 2020.
We’ve officially reached that point in the season when we’ve exhausted our summer outfit ideas but can’t begin dressing for fall completely yet. (It’s still hot AF out.) It’s a specific kind of outfit quandary, but Kate Bosworth might have the solution. While running errands in NYC, the actress opted for an outfit that feels perfect to make that summer-to-fall transition. She wore a light maxi dress with a shoe trend that’s poised to be huge for fall: classic, retro sneakers. (Hers are from Reebok.)
She joins other celebs such as Alexa Chung, Kate Middleton, and Jessica Biel (not to mention all of the editors at Who What Wear) who are getting behind the sneaker trend. Seeing as “dad” sneakers have been on the decline for a minute, we’re excited to usher in some more timeless silhouettes to our sneaker collections. What’s more, Bosworth found the ideal dress to wear with her trendy sneaks. Thanks to the luxe, pleated fabric, her Mango dress actually looks much more expensive than its $80 price tag and happens to hit at the perfect length for her low-top Reeboks.
Bosworth finished off the look with an oversize suede bag (yep, another emerging fall trend). Scroll down to see and shop her look, and then shop more classic sneakers for fall.
In his new book, Gods of the Upper Air, Charles King tells the story of Franz Boas, Margaret Mead and the other 20th century anthropologists who challenged outdated notions of race, class and gender.
Daune Allman with the 1957 Goldtop Gibson Les Paul.
The Gibson Les Paul that Daune Allman played on Derek and the Dominoes’ iconic “Layla” just fetched a whopping $1 million at auction.
Allman used the 1957 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop to lay down the slide solo on the classic rock standard during the 1970 “Layla” sessions with Eric Clapton, according to Inside Hook.
That was actually one of Allman’s last recordings to feature the instrument. He had also shredded the Goldtop on the Allman Brothers Band’s 1969 self-titled debut album and the southern rockers’ sophomore release, Idlewild South, before he traded it for a 1959 Les Paul, as Rolling Stone notes.
“Duane, fresh off recording ‘Layla’ was, as usual, playing his ’57 Goldtop,” auction house Gotta Have Rock and Roll said.
“The opening band was a local group called the Stone Balloon, whose guitarist, Rick Stine, was playing a 1959 cherry sunburst Les Paul, which Duane was fond of.”
“While making ‘Layla’ he had fallen in love with Clapton’s cherry sunburst. Wanting one of his own, Duane offered to swap Les Pauls with Rick. When Rick hesitated, Allman upped the stakes, throwing in $200 and one of his regular Marshall 50 heads. Rick agreed and the deal was finalized.”
After Allman’s death in 1971, the guitar was purchased and restored over several decades by the now-former over. It had been on display at the Allman Brothers Band “Big House” Museum in Macon Georgia. Other guitar legends including Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons are said to have played it during visits to the museum in recent years.
Fortunately, fans will still be able to see the guitar at the Big House a few months out of the year.
“It will be coming back to the Big House in late November,” Big House museum director Richard Brent told the Macon Telegraph. “We couldn’t ask for more than that.”
While that specific Gibson is spoken for, the company also recently announced a limited-edition reissue of Clapton’s famous 1964 Firebird I.
Each was made using authentic construction methods and precise dimensions scanned from vintage 1964 Firebird models before being fitted with a newly-developed Alnico V Firebird pickup to recapture the the output tones of the original.
“I remember one night in particular with the Firebird…it was a Cream show in Philadelphia and it was one of the greatest gigs I ever played,” Clapton said of the guitar per Gibson.
Only 50 will be sold in the U.S.—contact Gibson online to preorder one beginning today.
This new look at the upcoming movie follows more of the story as described by Lionsgate in the synopsis:
Almost four decades after he drew first blood, Sylvester Stallone is back as one of the greatest action heroes of all time, John Rambo. Now, Rambo must confront his past and unearth his ruthless combat skills to exact revenge in a final mission. A deadly journey of vengeance, RAMBO: LAST BLOOD marks the last chapter of the legendary series.
But it also begins with footage from the previous Rambo movies and dialogue from one of them in which someone is describing just who John Rambo is and why he’s so damn dangerous.
The original
He’s a killing machine, and age hasn’t changed that one bit. He says in his aged voice that he’s finally come home to defend the only family he has left.
As Rambo tells someone offscreen: “You started this. I’ll end it.”
He’ll do it with arrows, guns, bombs, and a knife. We know that much.
