Bond, James Bond...
James Bond has faced his most fiendish foe yet: the Sony hackers. A draft script for Spectre, the next 007 film, has been confirmed to have been among the secret files filched from the movie studio over the weekend, Rich Trenholm reports on cnet.com.
This comes on the heels of a bit of a temper tantrum on the Internet earlier this month when word came that Daniel Craig will drive—gasp!—a Fiat 500 in the upcoming 007 movie.
Well, the internet calmed down about the car flap when official confirmation came that Bond will spend at least some time driving an Aston Martin, Alex Davis reports on wired.com.
The British sports car maker has announced that it has created the DB10 specifically for the upcoming film. The car, unveiled at Pinewood Studios outside London, resembles many concept cars we’ve seen recently. It’s almost impossibly sleek, with minuscule mirrors, blade-like spokes on the wheels, and flush door handles, Davis writes.

James Bond is almost synonymous with Aston Martin, and his newest ride, the Aston Martin DB10, is a gorgeous one-off created specifically for the forthcoming movie Spectre.
But before Bond was the dashing and debonair secret agent on the silver screen, he was the tormented and brooding assassin of Ian Fleming’s novels, Jordon Golson reports on wired.com.
In those books, he drove a Bentley. In Fleming’s first 007 novel, Casino Royale, published in 1953, Bond tooled around in a 1931 4.5 Litre Blower Bentley. It wasn’t so sleek or sexy as the Astons that Bond would come to be known for, but it was among the finest cars of its day and just the thing for getting around in all due haste with style.
