Allie Merriam — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 07:47:16 PDT

Bond fans, rejoice! Work on the 23rd film in the series, Skyfall, has started, and the cast and crew gathered together in London for a photocall in celebration of the event. Leading man Daniel Craig joined up with director Sam Mendes and new Bond girls, France's Bérénice Marlohe and Britain's Naomie Harris, to smile for the cameras. James Bond villan Javier Bardem was there as well, lending his good looks to the cast.

Sam and the actors posed for photos then sat down for a press conference, which was planned to take place on the anniversary of the day that Sean Connery was announced as the first Bond. They also shared the official synopsis for the film, which is that, "Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. . . as MI6 comes under attack." Sam Mendes had more on the plot, saying, "It, I think, has all the elements of a classic Bond movie, including, to quell any rumors, a lot of action." Work on Bond 23 had been stalled for a long time due to financing problems at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios. Now, though, things are going into full gear with Sony and MGM financing the shoot in London, Shanghai, Istanbul, and Scotland with a release date next Fall.

Allie Merriam — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 13:30:00 PDT

Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes were together this morning to help get their son, Joe, off to school in NYC. Both Kate and Sam are committed to keeping things as normal as possible for their kids since announcing their split in March, and she's already getting on with her life alongside new boyfriend, Louis Dowler. Louis was there to help Kate ring in her 35th birthday earlier this month, and she also had the well-timed good news of landing a role in Roman Polanski's next film. Another important man in her life, Leonardo DiCaprio, just arrived back in LA, but he was in the Big Apple last week to toast Kate's milestone with lunch at the Carlyle.

Molly — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 07:45:15 PDT

Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes once again put up a united front bringing their kids Joe and Mia to school in NYC this morning. The foursome's daily routine has been documented more than ever recently since Sam and Kate announced their split last month. Immediately after the news hit, Kate was far away from their Manhattan home - instead lounging in bikinis off the coast of Mexico - but she couldn't avoid the attention for long. Still, there's something to be said for Kate and Sam keeping it civil, especially when there are already frequent rumors about other women as he casts the latest Bond girl and apparently has his eye on ex Rachel Weisz.

Kate Winslet had her hands full as she and her son, Joe, headed off to see a movie in NYC today.

Kate's been back in the Big Apple for just over a week following her bikini-filled vacation in Mexico, where she kept a low profile as news about her split from Sam hit headlines. Kate will soon get back to work on Mildred Pierce, but for now she and Sam are enjoying their kids' Spring break as much as they can during a time of big change.
