Comedian, writer, and lifelong James Bond fan David Walliams will be hosting a special screening of the 1977 Roger Moore adventure "The Spy Who Loved Me" next month at the British Film Institute in London.
The event is part of the 'Screen Epiphanies' series sponsored by American Express.
Tickets go on sale next week on July 10th at 11:30am.
Does anyone know any more info about this event? I had a look on the website and it doesn't say a lot about it, tickets seem to be £10 but i was wondering what happens at something like this, will David walliams come and introduce it and then they will show the film? the reason i ask is because on the website it is not clear that they are even showing the film.
Yes.

Bond is back like you’ve never seen her before, thanks to a Wimbledon playwright Lyndsey Jones. She was inspired to write the comedy during this, James Bond’s 50th anniversary. She said: "The play celebrates James Bond but also looks at the consequences of his womanising ways. I just wondered what a daughter of Bond would be like. After all, she would have grown up in single parent household with a Bond girl for a mother. So would she shoot to kill or just go shopping for glamorous clothes?"
Martini Bond's memories have been shaken but not stirred. She’d never thought of meeting her dad. Now he is missing presumed dead after Franken von Banken spliced villain DNA with the god particle in a quest to rule the world. Will Martini find her dad and save the planet? Or will she go shopping? After all, the family motto was live and let die.

To celebrate 50 years of Bond movies, IFC is paying tribute to the man who started it all. Outfitted with the coolest gadgets, the driest martinis (shaken, not stirred) and the curviest co-stars, Sean Connery created one of the screen’s most indelible and iconic characters. Although succeeded by other actors, on his golden anniversary, Connery’s effortlessly suave superspy remains the gold standard. After all, you never forget your first Bond.

LOCATION: Sebel Parramatta, 350 Church Street Parramatta
TIME: 10:00am - 6:00pm
Not only this, http://tiff.net/exhibitionspagefortesting/upcoming
- the Barbican Designing 007 – Fifty Years of James Bond Style - coming to Toronto's Tiff Bell Lightbox for an extended stay
but also this:
JAMES BOND AT TIFF BELL LIGHTBOX THIS FALL
Three film programmes and public and school workshops to accompany the
North American premiere of Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style at Tiff Bell
Lightbox, running from October 26, 2012 to January 20, 2013.
http://s3.amazonaws.com/tiff-prod/press_releases/146/JAMES BOND AT TIFF BELL LIGHTBOX THIS FALL_original.pdf?1346250301
Coincident with the Designing 007 exhibtion, all 22 Bond films will be shown at the Tiff Bell Lightbox during the show's run.
Also, Tiff is giving us a Bond vs Blofeld marathon. All 6 Blofeld films, FRLW, TB, YOLT, OHMSS, DAF and FYEO, will play in a back-to-back marathon screening from Friday October 26th at 7pm to Saturday Oct 27th at 1pm. So that's roughly 13-14 hours worth of films jammed into an 18 hour window, so I guess we get short respites between showings.
Still more. John Glen pops by Monday December 10th for a Q & A and a special screening of OP.
And more - Beyond Bond: The Other Secret Agents, Nov 9th to Jan 18, 2013, will focus on the wave of spy films that popped up in the wake of 007. Including serious fare such as the Ipcress File and 3 Days of the Condor, plus campier stuff such as Modesty Blaise
Plus a whole bunch of school workshops for students, grades 7-12. Awesome. Wish we had got such day trips when I was in high school.
Full details on everything, in the press release linked above (2nd link)
Location: Loew's Jersey Theater,54 Journal Square, Jersey City, NJ 07306
Date: Saturday 29th September 2012
Time: 18:00 & 20:30
The landmark Loew's movie palace in Jersey City, New Jersey will present two James Bond classics on Saturday 29th September: Dr. No and Goldfinger, both starring Sean Connery.
The Loew's is one of America's most historic theaters and has been painstakingly restored to its original glory. There is no better place to enjoy classic movies on the big screen- and it's only minutes from midtown Manhattan.
Cinema Retro editor-in-chief Lee Pfeiffer, co-author of The Essential James Bond, will introduce both films. Dr. No goes on at 6:00 PM and Goldfinger follows at 8:30 PM.
<a href="http://loewsjersey.org/"; target="_blank">Click here for more information</a>.
And as mentioned all 22 films will be given at least one screening over the run. Some will get as many as 4 screenings. There are single showings, double bills, a few triple bills and an opening-weekend marathon, overnight, 6-film showing of all the Blofeld Bonds. You know what they are.
Here's the link to the film showtimes, listed by film.
http://tiff.net/filmsandschedules/tiffbelllightbox/2012/2440002191
I count 54 showings in all. That's a lot of Bond big-screen viewing.
FRWL, GF and TB, get the most love with 4 showings each.
DN, YOLT, DAF, LALD, TSWLM, FYEO and AVTAK get 3 showings each.
OHMSS, TMWTGG, MR, OP, TLD, LTK,GE, CR and QoS get 2 showings each
TND, TWINE and DAD get one showing each
One can also catch big-screen showings of SF too while the event is in town. SF opens Nov 9th.
Lindy Hemming will do an intro to DN, while John Glenn will do Q & A prior to one of the OP showings.
=This link provides the chronological listing by date, of all films, (Bond and non-Bond) which will show during the Event's run.
http://tiff.net/calendar
Of note, from the Beyond Bond: The other Secret Agents series, the '60s Bulldog Drummond classic, Deadlier Than the Male, will get the big-screen treatment at 9pm on Friday Decemeber 14. I've also made note of Modesty Blaise. The Sean Connery rarity Zardoz is also playing on Dec 18th, although I'm not sure that this film is part of the Other Secret Agents series.
The first 7 films look especially good as they are screening the perfectly restored and pristine versions. These old films display like they were released last year, they look that good. Good to know if the showings come by your town.

I had the pleasure of attending the John Barry Memorial Concert performed by the RPO at the same venue; if it's half as good as that then it's a wonderful evening.

Actors come and go but Bond – like diamonds – goes on forever. His biennial escapades stretch back half a century, all the way to the Cuban Missile Crisis, and span nine US Presidents.
This 20-film retrospective is designed to showcase not only the changing face of Britain’s most famous secret agent, in all six of his incarnations from Sean Connery through to Daniel Craig, but also to suggest how Bond movies have changed and stayed the same as they mirror sometimes subtle shifts in attitudes towards sex, violence, nuclear weapons, terrorism, Communism, Capitalism, and, yes, good old/bad old hedonism.
We’re also pleased to present an exhibition of vintage posters and Bond memorabilia courtesy of collector Murray Gillespie, who will be on hand to introduce many of the screenings.
Want to introduce 007 to your kids? Look for the weekend matinees Aug 24, 25, 31 and Sept 1. (Evening shows are adults only, sorry!).
