Desmond Llewelyn Tribute Online

Like most every Bond fan world-wide I was greatly saddened by the death of Desmond Llewelyn on Saturday the 19th of December, 1999. Well over a year since his death, yes a year goes quick doesn?t it, IanFleming.Org, one of the better Bond sites, have put together a beautiful tribute to the actor we all fondly call “Q”.

To visit the tribute please visit http://www.ianfleming.org/007news/articles2/desmondsr.shtml.

The main article which I really appreciate is at http://www.ianfleming.org/007news/articles2/desmondmemories3.shtml which is a compilation of different peoples memories and thoughts on Desmond.

I all Bond fans to check this out.

Brosnan's Secret Irish Film

ShowBizIreland.Com has exclusively interviewed actor Pierce Brosnan and he has confirmed that he will be in Ireland in 2001 to film a secret movie. Brosnan refused to comment on what the movie was and would it be Bond 20. Though he did say “I don’t know if Bond will be made here.” From what I’ve personally heard the project will in fact be an Irish Dreamtime Production and non-Bond related. Irish Dreamtime are responsible for Thomas Crown Affiar, despite this; we’ll keep you posted.

Statement From The Family Of Desmond Llewelyn

Here is a statement from the family of Desmond Llewelyn that I found on ianfleming.org:

“The family of Desmond Llewelyn has asked me to convey their sincerest thanks to all of his fans throughout the world for the countless expressions of sympathy and condolence. Desmond’s family has been deeply moved by your appreciation of his life and work and your thoughtfulness has done much to ease their pain during this very trying time.

“Regarding many inquiries about plans for the forthcoming funeral service, the Llewelyns have requested that the service be primarily limited to Desmond’s family and close friends. The family is aware that many fans have expressed a desire to attend. However, the brief ceremony will be held in a very small church and there is concern that a large crowd might make it difficult to insure that those closest to Desmond are able to find seating in the chapel.

“None of Desmond’s co-stars from the Bond films are scheduled to attend the funeral, as they will be invited to a formal memorial service which will be held in the coming months. Again, the family wishes to express its thanks to all of you who have done so much to make Desmond’s life and career such a rewarding one.”
