MI6 Confidential, the full-colour magazine celebrating the world of James Bond 007, returns with its seventeenth issue.
The Bond world is buzzing. With just a few weeks to go before Skyfall hits cinemas, we’ve seen the launch of film’s promotional campaign, the opening of the most exhaustive exhibition of 007 design, and Activision continually tease fans with a new look at their upcoming videogame, ‘007 Legends’.
We cover all of the above in this issue, but the highlight must be the time we spent with stunt coordinator, Gary Powell, who spoke exclusively to MI6 Confidential about the Skyfall pre-titles sequence. Finally, we have just enough time to celebrate the French Bond girls of the franchise, as Bérénice Marlohe joins their ranks this year.
Featured in this issue:
· Skyfall Action - Exclusive interview with stunt coordinator Gary Powell
· Entente Cordiale - Bérénice Marlohe joins a long list of French Bond Girls

Last night saw Cinema Retro attend the exclusive private viewing of Designing OO7 - Fifty Years of Bond Style at The Barbican in London. This unique exhibition showcasing the design, craft and style of a screen icon - James Bond - is superbly designed (by Ab Rogers, and guest-curated by fashion historian Bronwyn Cosgrave and Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming) . The exhibition is a must-see event for anyone with an interest in film, let alone James Bond. Produced in partnership with Eon Productions, ably assisted by the head of their archives, Meg Simmonds, the exhibition has amassed over 400 items that reflect the history of Bond over the last 50 years.
Following the press call in the day, the organizers invited people who have worked on the films over the years and also friends of Eon to a champagne reception and private view of the exhibition. And what a show it is!
