I waited for someone to find out about this. Hurray, Gregory Bertrand for finding out that William Jackson Turner’s The Fighting Temeraire features in our James Bond 007 tribute film Shamelady. Turner’s masterpiece is my favorite painting and I digitally inserted it in Moneypenny’s office. All this was done five years before it was featured in the latest James Bond blockbuster, Skyfall.
I also inserted Goya’s Duke Of Wellington in M’s office years after that famous portrait was stolen from London’s National Gallery - supposedly by Dr. No in the first James Bond movie. As a gag the end credits mention that this painting was on loan for our picture by the Julius No Foundation ! As I loved inserting these references in our tribute movie - an obvious fitting place for them - Goya’s Duke Of Wellington also makes a second appearance (this time painted by Serge Rotelli) but with Roger Moore’s face at the end of the final fight with the villain ! For Your Enjoyment Only. - Eric Saussine

AT LONG LAST ! Five years after Shamelady, our second James Bond tribute film Shatterhand is available for your viewing enjoyment.
James Bond’s former climbing instructor agent Hannes Oberhauser is dead. James Bond goes after his murderer, Major Dexter Smythe, an active MI6 agent and a traitor. Bond finds the Major who gives him some information on Blofeld. As a reward, 007 spares Dexter Smythe a shameful return to England by giving him the choice of an honourable death. As for Blofeld, Bond’s nemesis has presumably died in Japan in a mysterious Garden of Death cared for by its owner, Doctor Guntram Shatterhand... James Bond flies to Japan to solve this conundrum.
A mixture of classic Bond and 1950s / 1960s style exotic adventure, we hope Shatterhand will celebrate James Bond’s 50th movie anniversary in style and will bring you back to your magic memories of 007’s very first screen missions. Follow the link : "Shatterhand"

In this time of French presidential election, it seemed somehow appropriate to introduce the main authority giving orders in a spy story i.e. the French President himself. That honor goes to the current incumbent - who might or might not be reelected - Nicolas Sarlozy. This movie shot mainly in the Caribbean in Easter 2011 has a rather incredible backstory - It could never have been produced. It was written in one day during holidays in the Gulf of Mexico and shot... in two days. Three scenes filmed in France were later added to augment footage already shot under the sun. As its title might easily suggest Punta And Cana Go To The Beach is a comedy featuring barely competent spies on a strange mission in a dream place. The whole thing is as light as a soap bubble and aims at nothing else but to keep you smiling. We do hope that this mission will be a success.

After "Punta & Cana Go To The Beach" last month - the film is not ready and you will understand why - here is our second surprise movie these days ! "Kill B - First Kill" is a two-minute tribute to Quentin Tarantino. When Matthieu Pariot told Eric Saussine about the existence of a contest entitled"Do Your Tarantino", they started scratching their heads and found a story idea. A few days later, Eric put it into script form. Two days after finishing writing, they were shooting it with Eric behind the camera and Mathieu behind... actress Lilly Swann, to prevent an (un)happy Philippe Lombard (as great as ever) from being tramplened on in a memorable massage by foot scene. We hope you will find all this good fun and you can watch it here !
