Author Sebastian Faulks has been licensed to write new James Bond novels.
By his own admission, the 54-year-old's writing routine stands in stark contrast to the glamorous lifestyle of Bond's creator - who lived life very much in the fashion of his iconic creation.
"In his house in Jamaica, Fleming used to write a thousand words in the morning, then go snorkelling, have a cocktail, lunch on the terrace, more diving, another thousand words in late afternoon, then more Martinis and glamorous women," said Faulks.
"In my house in London I followed this routine exactly, apart from the cocktails, the lunch and the snorkelling."
The new book, entitled Devil May Care and to be published next May, is set in the Cold War. Bond is widowed and vulnerable but remains heroically gallant and libidinous.
Some more info:
To mark the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth, Penguin will be creating a special James Bond imprint, "Penguin 007" - under which Devil May Care will be published in hardback in May 2008.
What is important to fans about this news, which has been missed by almost all reports, is that under the new 007 imprint, Penguin will publish all their Bond titles.
The company will also be launching a new website - www.penguin007.com (not online at the time of writing).

Warner Brothers is set to release another batch of classic 'toons on DVD with The Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol. 5 on Oct. 30.
More Looney Tunes...your wish is our command. In this 4-disc set are 60 of the most hysterical Looney Tunes ever created and over 5 hours of extra special features. Indeed, some have never before been on home video!

Not to be outdone, Disc 3 showcases the hilarious talent of the great animator Robert Clampett. And the fowl deeds and rabbit-fire jokes wrap with Disc 4's hamboree jamboree of Porky Pig and more classics.
* 4-Disc Collector Set with 60 classic shorts.
* Remastered and restored to their original glory and chock full of special features!
* Over 5 hours of incredible Special Features which include "Chuck Jones: Extremes and In-Betweens, A Life in Animation" the 2000 PBS documentary.

Two more Doctor Who adventures are due out on DVD Nov. 6, both featuring the Peter Davison Doctor.
ARC OF INFINITY: Traveling with Nyssa in the TARDIS, the Doctor is attacked by a malign entity - a being of pure anti-matter seeking to cross the dimensions. Although the invader is successfully repelled, the TARDIS is immediately recalled to Gallifrey, where the High Council of Time Lords sentence the Doctor to be executed to prevent any further attempts at bonding. It seems there is a traitor on Gallifrey. And what links the Renegade and the disappearance of Tegan's cousin in Amsterdam? Two fates intertwined must battle for the future of the entire universe. Look for sixth Doctor-to-be Colin Baker playing a guard on Gallifrey.
TIME-FLIGHT: The TARDIS arrives by accident in the middle of Terminal One at Heathrow Airport. One of the supersonic Concordes has disappeared mid-air and the Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa soon become involved in a hunt for the missing airplane. But what connects its disappearance to prehistoric Earth, and why is a mysterious sorcerer so interested in the Doctor's TARDIS? A flight through time will reveal all.

Leonard Nimoy may appear in the upcoming "Star Trek" movie directed by J.J. Abrams, but not William Shatner, reports, um, Shatner:
"There's a Star Trek movie, and I called Leonard," Shatner said. "I said, 'Leonard, have you heard?' He said, 'Yes, I have.' I said, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'I've read the script.' I said, 'Is it a good script?' He says, 'Yeah.' I said, 'Am I in it?' And there was a pause. He said no, and then he began to laugh. I went through the phone as I grabbed him by the throat. He's in it. I'm not in it."

Booksteve remembers MLJ Comics' The Shield.

Greg Sadowski is at work on another book about the great EC Comics artist Bernard Krigstein.
-------------------
The New York Times has an early review of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
Curiously enough, “Order of the Phoenix,” clocking in at a little over two and a quarter hours, is the shortest of the “Harry Potter” films. The nearly 900-page source has been elegantly streamlined by Michael Goldenberg, the screenwriter (who replaces Steve Kloves), and David Yates, the director (who follows Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón and Mike Newell in the job). There is no Quidditch, and not many boarding-school diversions. Instead, “Order of the Phoenix,” which begins like a horror movie with a Dementor attack in a suburban underpass, proceeds as a tense and twisty political thriller, with clandestine meetings, bureaucratic skullduggery and intimations of conspiracy hanging in the air.

The fort featured in the 1970s "Doctor Who" serial "The Sea Devils" is for sale.
The fort was designed and built in the 1860s to guard the approaches to Portsmouth from a feared French invasion that never happened.
In October 1971, when Jon Pertwee played the title role in the BBC's cult show Doctor Who, the crew came to Portsmouth for extensive location filming on an adventure called The Sea Devils, and the exterior of the fort was used.

Leonard Nimoy may appear in the upcoming "Star Trek" movie directed by J.J. Abrams, but not William Shatner, reports, um, Shatner:
"There's a Star Trek movie, and I called Leonard," Shatner said. "I said, 'Leonard, have you heard?' He said, 'Yes, I have.' I said, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'I've read the script.' I said, 'Is it a good script?' He says, 'Yeah.' I said, 'Am I in it?' And there was a pause. He said no, and then he began to laugh. I went through the phone as I grabbed him by the throat. He's in it. I'm not in it."

The New York Times has an early review of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
Curiously enough, “Order of the Phoenix,” clocking in at a little over two and a quarter hours, is the shortest of the “Harry Potter” films. The nearly 900-page source has been elegantly streamlined by Michael Goldenberg, the screenwriter (who replaces Steve Kloves), and David Yates, the director (who follows Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón and Mike Newell in the job). There is no Quidditch, and not many boarding-school diversions. Instead, “Order of the Phoenix,” which begins like a horror movie with a Dementor attack in a suburban underpass, proceeds as a tense and twisty political thriller, with clandestine meetings, bureaucratic skullduggery and intimations of conspiracy hanging in the air.

DC Comics has launched an online comics imprint.
The imprint, called Zudacomics.com, will permit aspiring cartoonists to register at its Web site and submit an eight-panel sample of their work. Starting in October and each month thereafter, editors at DC Comics will select 10 entries, post them for public view and invite people to vote for their favorite. Editors may also declare as many as six submissions to be instant winners during the calendar year.
“We’ve always found interesting stuff in submissions,” said Paul Levitz, president and publisher of DC Comics. “One of the problems that comics have today, I think, is that open door is much more closed. This creates a more open door.”
However, questions are being raised over who owns the rights to these comics--their creators or DC.
