A new museum is set to open in Washington, DC called the International Spy Museum. The museum will be located in downtown Washington, near the MCI Center, at 800 F Street.
It has been advertised that the museum will feature a large section on the world's greatest spy, James Bond. The section on Bond will have props from various movies and will include a working replica of the Aston Martin DB5 that is in Goldfinger.
The museum is set to open on the 19th of July.
Thanks to Jim for sending in the details!
Few details are known about the ominous Scorpion Girl. Intelligence reports do indicate that she resides in Colonel Moon's North Korean base. Furthermore, it was reported that she had been given the task of torturing a British national held in captivity by Colonel Moon. However, the name of this spy has yet to be discovered.
Actress playing the role yet to be announced.

A video of the recent Omega Press Conference held in London is now online at Yahoo News.
I'm still personally yet to see the video, however, to view it just follow the above link and look in the right hand column under 'Audio/Video'. You'll see a small picture of Pierce Brosnan and the caption 'Pierce Brosnan Unveils A Few Gadgets'. Simply click on that.
The BBC have posted a special video report on the filming of the hovercraft sequence in Die Another Day. The majority of the footage, which can be viewed online, has already been seen on television world-wide, however, a few snippets may be new to viewers. I do know that Channel 10 News in Australia recently featured the full footage.
The above 'Temple Gates' are shown in the footage, Bond later drives his stolen hovercraft straight through these gates with the villains in tow.
Actor Michael Madsen, who will play NSA Chief Damian Falco when Die Another Day premieres later this year, has told Empire Online how he'll be returning to star in Bond 21 and Bond 22.
However, the speculation that Falco would be a returning villain was ended in the interview. Falco confirmed as head of the NSA he'd have a few run-ins with Bond, however, they'd be a lot more friendly by the end of the film.
Actor Michael Madsen has confirmed in an interview with Empire Online that he'll be returning to star in Bond 22 as NSA Chief Damian Falco.
Falco is set to appear for this first time this November when Die Another Day is released world-wide. Earlier in 2002 Madsen confirmed that he would be returning to star in Bond 21, creating speculation that his character may be a Blofeld-like villain.
On the longevity of the character? Madsen has said that the character is his as long as he wants it. When he wishes to leave the role producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have told him the character will be killed off.
Michael Madsen, who plays NSA Chief Damian Falco in Die Another Day, has again revealed a lot of information in an interview with Empire Online. And well, that's an incredible Interview!
So how did Madsen get roped into the Bond role? ‘Originally they asked me to play a guy that gets killed by a death ray from space. I said no, because I wanted to be part of the franchise. I very much wanted to work in a Bond picture. Pierce is a very good friend of mine – our kids play together, for God’s sakes! But I really didn’t want to be in it as some glorified extra who gets killed.
‘So the whole thing went away for a while. Then Lee Tamahori gave me a call and said, ‘Do you still fancy being in the Bond picture? Well there’s another part we have. It’s not a big role but it’s the head of the NSA, which is a military commander type of a guy.’ It wasn’t really in the script yet, so I flew over here blindly and I went over to take a meeting with Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson over at Pinewood and they basically described to me the character and what they thought I could do.’
The best thing, for Madsen about the new character, was his longevity. ‘They could introduce me as a recurring character, so I’d come back in Bond 21 and 22 and then they said if I got tired of it, they’d assassinate me and Bond could use my death as a vengeful reason to do something (laughs).’
This means that Michael Madsen will appear in Bond 22 as well. In an early interview he said that he was recurring in Bond 21. Speculations were saying that Madsen would play the villain in Bond 21. So this isn’t right. Afterall, it seems that Damian Falco will become a good friend of Bond. Michael Madsen as a reccuring actor seems to be a very good idea. Perhaps he’ll become a kind of Felix Leiter-type.
So he’s good friends with Bond? ‘The way it happens in the film is that initially I don’t trust him. I’m like the American M. Like Judi Dench sends out Bond, I send out Halle Berry. By the end of the movie I realise that he’s saved the world from nuclear armageddon, or whatever it is…so we’ve evolved. So now I suppose in the next Bond picture, we’ll probably start out in more collusion with each other.’
Now we have the final confirmation: Halle Berry is going to play a NSA agent. She’s the second agent in that movie beyond Rosamund Pike, who will play MI6 agent Miranda Frost. And we know, one of them will be a traitor. Speculations claimed that Damian Falco would be the traitor. But I can’t imagine him as a traitor after that interview.
Clearly this is an ending Madsen’s family approves of. ‘I’ve got four boys, they think it’s pretty cool. And I’m glad I don’t get bumped off – you can imagine I’d have to live with; ‘Dad, why did you get killed. Why did James Bond kill you. I don’t want to live with that for the next 20 years so it’s good that my character survives.’ And he gets to come back to Britain again and again and again.
Well, again confirmation: He will return. Propably in the next two flicks of the franchise. Maybe even in later Bond movies. Time will tell.
